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. New
Immigration Destinations examines structural forces along with
individual strategies and behaviour to highlight the opportunities
and challenges for 'new' destination areas arising from new
economic and cultural mobility. Representing a 'second wave' in
studies of in-migration, this volume examines patterns in
'non-traditional' rural and peripheral migration destinations, with
a particular focus on Northern Ireland. By examining events in the
host city, this book shows how processes of migrant incorporation
are complex and rely on multifarious influences, including the
state, community, individuals and families. Accordingly, the book
scrutinises theories of migration and social integration within
rural/peripheral destinations. This subsequently provides
clarification of many of the contested concepts, including
transnationalism; integration, acculturation and assimilation;
'new' destinations; and migrants and ethnic minorities. Focusing on
the local and the micro within a context of social and policy
reality, this timely volume critically engages with original
theories of migration, thus providing a much fuller conceptual and
theoretical understanding for an emerging field of migration
studies within a rapidly changing and uncertain world. This book's
interdisciplinary nature will 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.
