This major reference collection describes and reviews the
contribution which geographers have made to the charting,
description, analysis and understanding of this age-old phenomenon.
Migration is one of the dominant forces reshaping modern societies.
The traditional concerns of geographers with flows, spatial
differentiation and the power of place have given them unique
understandings in the study of migration relevant to contemporary
problems. Geographers have been able to make a distinctive
contribution to knowledge about this phenomenon, from the laws of
Ravenstein to the humanistic accounts of those caught up in refugee
movements. Geography and Migration includes macrolevel descriptions
to examine whether migration takes place in discernible flows and
whether there are regularities in migration patterns or in the
characteristics, origin and behaviour of migrants. Micro and
macro-level explanations follow and address the impact of life
cycle, quality of life and search factors. The final section
includes essays and papers on the impact of migration on
participants, source areas and destinations.
