Harshly exploited migrant labour plays a fundamental role in the
political economy of contemporary capitalism. The abstract and
utopian theorising of many liberals and leftists on the migration
question often ignores or downplays patterns of displacement and
brutal class dynamics, which divide and weaken working people while
empowering the ruling class. In this important new book, Hannah
Cross provides a sober analysis of the class antagonisms of
migration in the context of the nation, social democracy, and the
racialized ordering of the world. Bringing Marxist methodology and
strategy to a careful analysis of existing emancipatory movements,
she sets out the programmes and approaches that are needed to
promote global worker solidarity and create a future in which cheap
labour is no longer a mainstay of wealthy economies. This focus on
the labouring classes allows her to identify some important new
directions for migration in a world beyond capitalism, exploitation
and injustice. This book will be essential reading for students,
scholars and general readers interested in the politics and
political economy of migration in a world unhelpfully caught
between racist authoritarian capitalism and the wishful-thinking of
contemporary left-liberalism.

Colloid science has been applied by soil chemists and clay mineral
ogists for many years, and some of the most important studies on
the behavior of colloids have been contributed by them. Barring a
few notable exceptions, only in the last decade have geochemists
applied colloid science in their research and in this period much
work has been published. It seemed to the authors that it would be
useful at this stage to attempt to summarize the progress made and
to try to examine what colloid science has contributed and can
further contribute to geo chemistry. This book is based partly on a
course of the same title given to graduate students by one of the
authors (S. Y) between 1972 and 1977 at the Department of Geology
at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Consequently many
fundamental concepts of the subject are included that will be of
use to graduate students in geology, geo chemistry, soil science,
and oceanography. So that specialists interested in certain
sections may find their subjects comprehensively covered, a few
topics are dealt with in more than one chapter so that readers may
ignore sections not especially of interest to them. However the
chapters more fully treating certain topics are cross-referenced.
In such cases the subjects are treated from different viewpoints
and the citations used represent these dif fering viewpoints."
