While the subject of migration has received enormous attention in
academic journals and books across the social sciences,
introductory texts on the matter are few and far between. Even
fewer books have explored migration through a critical and explicit
engagement with spatial concepts. Now in its second edition,
Migration remains the only text in more than a decade that
emphasizes how geographical or spatial concepts can be used
critically to understand migration. The multi-disciplinary text
draws on insights from human geography, political science, social
anthropology, sociology, and to a lesser extent economics. All of
the chapters focus on key terms, theories, concepts, and issues
concerning migration and immigration. The book argues that in the
context of migration, two opposing 'spatial positions' have emerged
in the wake of the critique of 'methodological nationalism'. On one
hand is the significance of 'transnationalism', and on the other,
the importance of 'sub-national' or local processes. Both require
more nuance and integration, while many of the concepts and
theories which have thus far neglected space or have not been
'treated' spatially, need to be re-written with space in mind.
Pedagogically the text combines a carefully defined structure,
accessible language, boxes that explore case studies of
migrant-related experiences in particular places, annotated
suggestions for further reading, useful websites and relevant films
and summary questions for student learning at the end of each
chapter. Migration provides a critical, multi-disciplinary,
advanced, and theoretically informed introduction to migration and
immigration. Revised and updated with new material, new maps and
illustrations and an accompanying website
(https://migration2ndedition.wordpress.com/), it continues to be
aimed at advanced undergraduates and Masters-level graduate
students undertaking courses on migration and immigration.
