An authoritative analysis that busts 22 deep-rooted myths about
migration - and sets out a new way to think about it Global
migration is not at an all-time high. Climate change will not lead
to mass migration. Immigration mainly benefits the wealthy, not
workers. Border restrictions have paradoxically produced more
migration. These statements might sound counter-intuitive or just
outright wrong - but the facts behind the headlines reveal a
completely different story to the ones we're told about migration.
In this ground-breaking and revelatory book, based on more than
three decades of research, leading expert Professor Hein de Haas
explodes myths espoused by both left and right that politicians,
interest groups and media regularly spread about migration.
Comparing trends and perspectives from Western 'destination
countries' (UK, US and Europe) as well as 'origin countries' in
Asia, Africa and Latin America, de Haas equips readers with
essential knowledge on migration based on the best evidence and
data, showing migration not as a problem to be solved, nor as a
solution to a problem, but as it really is. Above all, How
Migration Really Works offers a new vision of migration based on
facts rather than fears, and a paradigm-altering understanding of
this perennially important subject.
Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world's major
emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and
settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East,
and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social,
cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how
continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming
contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the
way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory
realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a
dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how
contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in
Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case
enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the
still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially
divide the world into 'receiving' and 'sending' countries and
largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration
in countries in the Global South. This book was previously
published as a special issue of The Journal of North African
Studies.

Migration is a central dynamic in globalization that is recasting
contemporary states and societies in distinctive, powerful ways.
Now with more balanced coverage of Western and non-Western regions,
this leading text has been revised and updated with the latest

migrants themselves. Chapters examine migration trends and patterns
in all major world regions, how migration transforms both
destination and origin societies, and the effects of migration and
increasing ethnic diversity on national identity and politics.

tables, graphs, and maps; end-of-chapter Guides to Further Reading;
and a companion website (www.age-of-migration.com) with additional
case studies, interactive flashcards, and other resources for
students and instructors. New to This Edition *A wealth of new
data, increased attention to non-Western regions and perspectives,
and stronger analysis of long-term trends. *Chapter critically

refugees." *Chapter on the evolution and effectiveness of migration
policies. *Chapter on how migration affects origin countries.
*Expanded coverage of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.

Islamophobia; migration policies under Trump; large-scale refugee
movements; the growth of new types of mobility for such purposes as
education, marriage or retirement; and the tools governments use to
control migration (the "Migration Policy Toolbox"). *Glossary of
key terms, which are highlighted throughout the text.
