An account of the experiences of 37 women who use methadone-heroin

The post-World War II period has been called "the age of
migration," since an unprecedented number of people worldwide have
been on the move. This reference surveys migration and immigration
past and present in 14 representative countries. Historical,
social, political, and economic consequences of migration are
considered. Students and researchers will find the synthesis
indispensable and the format ideal for comparisons. The collective
analysis of the contributors, who hail from a range of disciplines,
ultimately defies the simple characterization of migration as a
choice of people seeking better income opportunities. The authors
are sensitive to the ways that race, class, and gender dynamics
influence the composition of migratory flows, the reasons why
people migrate, and the outcomes of population movements. Each
chapter explicates the human cost of migration, giving readers a
better understanding of social issues underlying migration at the
beginning of the 21st century.
