This book critically examines the new issues and new politics
regarding migration in the era of globalisation from a majority
world perspective. It examines the current shifts in the global
political economy and the effects it has, for example, in relation
to rural displacement. When and how does this lead to national
and/or transnational migration? We need to examine the ways in
which migration is cut across and impacts on the generation of
racism and xenophobia in the west. The issue of remittances by
migrants to the developing nations needs careful study as does the
controversial issue of brain drain versus brain gain through
migration. The growing importance of trafficking for forced labour
has now been taken up by various international bodies but is it the
new normality or simply an unfortunate side effect of globalisation
to be overcome through legislation? Migration is becoming
increasingly gendered in its composition and flows but also in the
receiving countries where men and women do very different jobs. We
can predict the increasing racialization and gendering of migration
but how will the state and society respond to these shifts?
