This new, fully updated edition of Global Migration provides
students with a thorough and grounded understanding of multiple
dimensions of migration, including labour markets, citizenship,
border control, integration, and identity. Written by two
geographers, the book incorporates insights from across the social
sciences and is accessible to students in many disciplines.
Providing a useful and timely introduction to migration, the
textbook addresses migration in a holistic way and equips students
with the tools they need to participate in contemporary debates
about migration in sending and destination contexts. It conveys to
students that the causes and effects of migration are
geographically specific and contingent upon class, race, gender,
and other markers of social difference. Rather than identifying
simple solutions to migration 'problems', the book encourages
students to think about unauthorized migration, asylum, refugee
resettlement, labour migration, and other forms of mobility (and
immobility) from different vantage points. Global Migration serves
as the go-to book for teaching advanced undergraduate and
Master's-level students about the complexities of migration across
nation-state borders.
There is simply no other textbook that offers the same breadth and
depth that this book does. Authors’ provide a global perspective.
The text is highly readable and engaging, while maintaining a depth
of understanding critical to the topic. Text is much more
"scholarly" than usual textbooks are, e.g. being based on academic
articles as well and most recent scholarly work which is at the
forefront. Book also covers much more specialized topics, e.g.
migration management, protests etc., than usually are covered in
textbooks.
