Around the world, hundreds of millions of labor migrants endure
exploitation, lack of basic rights, and institutionalized
discrimination and marginalization. What dynamics and drivers have
created a world in which such a huge--and rapidly growing--group
toils as marginalized men and women, existing as a lower caste
institutionally and juridically? In what ways did labor migrants
shape their living and working conditions in the past, and what
opportunities exist for them today? Global Labor Migration presents
new multidisciplinary, transregional perspectives on issues
surrounding global labor migration. The essays go beyond
disciplinary boundaries, with sociologists, ethnographers, legal
scholars, and historians contributing research that extends
comparison among and within world regions. Looking at migrant
workers from the late nineteenth century to the present day, the
contributors illustrate the need for broader perspectives that
study labor migration over longer timeframes and from wider
geographic areas. The result is a unique, much-needed collection
that delves into one of the world's most pressing issues, generates
scholarly dialogue, and proposes cutting-edge research agendas and
methods. Contributors: Bridget Anderson, Rutvica Andrijasevic,
