Current population movements involve both established and new
destinations, often encompassing marginal and rural communities and
resulting in a whole new set of issues for these communities. This
volume examines structural forces and individual strategies and
behavior to highlight the opportunities and threats for new
destination areas arising from new economic and cultural mobility.
It represents a "second wave" in studies of in-migration by
examining patterns in "non-traditional" rural and peripheral
migration destinations and using the case of Northern Ireland.
Accordingly, the book develops a much fuller conceptual and
theoretical understanding of migration and social integration
within rural/peripheral destinations. It provides clarification of
many of the contested concepts including transnationalism;
integration, acculturation and assimilation; new destinations; and
migrants and ethnic minorities.
While a number of books provide an analysis of migration, they
are typically concerned with patterns rather than micro-processes
of migration. Less is known about new destination areas and on the
micro-issues affecting migrants to those places: their lived
experiences; the role of local networks and connections; and the
significance of local civil society. By critically engaging with
original theories of migration this volume provides a better
understanding of an emerging field of migration studies in a
rapidly changing and uncertain world.
McAreavey focuses on the local and the micro with a strong sense
of research, social and policy reality. This book s
interdisciplinary nature will have appeal to policymakers,
scholars, and both undergraduate and postgraduate students in a
range of disciplines including sociology (race and ethnic studies),
human geography (migration, demography), political economy and
community development."
