Discover the origins and consequences of human movement over time,
from the 16th-century Age of Discovery to 21st-century immigration
politics. This book examines the complex forces behind
international migration and the enormous impact it is having on our
globalized world. Chapters cover both the challenges and
opportunities associated with migration in a broad selection of
countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America,
and Oceania. Readers will find in-depth analysis of such recent
events as the Ukrainian refugee crisis, violence against immigrants
in South Africa, support for right-wing political parties in
Germany, Australia's use of offshore detention centers, and the
Trump administration's efforts to curb immigration. Readers will
also uncover the historical antecedents to the modern landscape of
human migration, including the push for colonization and the
exploitation and horrors of the slave trade. The book also
investigates the profound impact that climate change will have on
patterns of human migration in the coming years. Taken together,
the chapters offer candid and compelling coverage of a dynamic
subject that affects millions of people worldwide. For readers
wishing to delve even deeper into this multifaceted and often
contentious subject, a comprehensive list of recommended readings
serves as a gateway to further exploration.
