Culture is not new to the study of migration. It has lurked beneath
the surface for some time, occasionally protruding openly into the
discussion, usually under some pseudonym. The authors of the papers
in this volume bring culture into the open. They are concerned with
how culture manifests itself in the migration process for three
groups of actors: the migrants, those remaining in the sending
areas, and people already living in the recipient locations. The
topics vary widely. What unites the authors is an understanding
that though actors behave differently, within a group there are
economically important shared beliefs (customs, values, attitudes,
etc.), which we commonly referred to as culture. Culture plays a
central role in our understanding of migration as an economic
phenomenon. While the papers in this volume occasionally touch on
this diversity and the conflicts it engenders, this is not the
focus of the volume. Here the emphasis is on the distinctions in
culture between migrants, the families they left behind, and the
local population in the migration destination. The new interactions
directly affect all three groups. Assimilation is one result;
separation is also a possibility. Location choice, workplace
interaction, enclave size, the opportunity for the migrant
obtaining credit in their new country, the local population's
reaction to migrants, the political culture of the migrants and
local population, links to the country-of-origin, and the economic
state of the host country, all contribute to the classic conflict
between assimilation and separation. This volume will consider
different aspects of the process of assimilation considering the
affect on the migrants themselves, on the local population, on the
families left at the home country and others.
