Migration: Policies, Practices, Activism brings together a range
of scholarly research papers to examine the place of international
migration in the modern world, starting with the overview of
migration and development by Alejandro Portes. There are many
aspects to migration today which are treated in this collection,
including new patterns of migration flows, asylum and the handling
of refugees, multiculturalism, religious and cultural diversity,
identity formation among immigrant communities, and the impact of
migration upon social and economic development. Chapters in this
book look at a variety of migration case studies, including aspects
of international migration in Europe; movement from sub-Saharan
Africa northwards; movement from Albania to Italy; a comparison of
the USA and Germany; the entry of international brides to South
Korea; and the concept of diversity and its use in the study of the
outcomes of migration. This is a stimulating collection which looks
at many facets of the phenomenon.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic
and Racial Studies.
