Religious and Ethical Perspectives on Global Migration examines the
complicated social ethics of migration in today s world. Editors
Elizabeth W. Collier and Charles R. Strain bring the perspectives
of an international group of scholars toward a theory of justice
and ethical understanding for the nearly two hundred million
migrants who have left their homes seeking asylum from political
persecution, greater freedom and safety, economic opportunity, or
reunion with family members. Migrants move out of fear,
desperation, hope, love for their families, or a myriad of other
complex motivations. Faced with both the needs and flows of people
and the walls that impede them, what actions ought we, both
individually and collectively, take? What is the moral
responsibility of those of us, in particular, who reside
comfortably in our native lands? There is no univocal response to
these questions. Instead multiple perspectives on migration must be
examined. This book begins by looking at different geographic
regions around the world and highlighting particular issues within
each. Finding that religious traditions represent the strongest
countervailing sources of values to the homogenizing tendencies of
economic globalization, the study then offers a plurality of
religious perspectives The final chapters examine the salient
issues and the proposed solutions that have emerged specifically
within the U.S. context. These studies range from militarization of
the U.S. border with Mexico to the impact of migrants on
native-born low-skilled workers. Encompassing a wide range of
cultural and scholarly voices, Religious and Ethical Perspectives
on Global Migration provides insight for ethics, moral philosophy,
social and political philosophy, religious studies, social justice,
globalization, and identity formation."
