Stephen Castles, Mark J Miller

Guilford Publication, 2003 - Social Science - 338 pages

Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this widely adopted text provides a global perspective on the nature of migration movements, why they take place, and their effects on industrialized countries and the developing world. Extensively rewritten chapters provide information on and comparative analyses of the world's main migration regions. The role of migration in the formation of ethnic minority groups is examined, as is the impact of growing ethnic diversity on economies, cultures, and political institutions. Included are a wealth of concrete examples, tables, and maps.

Review: The Age Of Migration: International Population Movements In The Modern World

User Review  - Aniko - Goodreads

good and comprehensive handbook on migration - gets a little dull with all the examples detailing the different statuses, legislations and policies in the long run, but great to look up any issue on migration in general. and the further reading tips are very useful.
