Although globalization seems like a recent phenomenon linked to
migration, some groups have used social networks to migrate great
distances for centuries. To gain new insights into migration today,
Modern Migrations takes a closer look at the historical presence of
globalization and how it has organized migration and social
networks. With a focus on the lives of Gujarati Indians in New York
and London, this book explains migration patterns through different
kinds of social networks and relations. Gujarati migration flows
span four continents, across several centuries. Maritsa Poros
reveals the inner workings of their social networks and how these
networks relate to migration flows. Championing a relational view,
she examines which kinds of ties result in dead-end jobs, and
which, conversely, lead to economic mobility. In the process, she
speaks to central debates in the field about the economic and
cultural roots of migration's causes and its surprising
consequences.
