Introduction to International Migration

Praise for Introduction to International Migration

"By systematically incorporating analysis of migration dynamics within the Global South, this textbook goes beyond comparison of migration to developed countries of Europe and North America typical of most books assigned in migration studies courses. The book’s global scope is matched by a depth of analysis achieved with tightly coordinated thematic chapters written by top scholars in their respective areas of expertise – a truly impressive feat. While a great choice for upper level undergraduate courses, graduate students will also appreciate the expert overview that is foundational to more focused study and research."

--Rey Koslowski, State University of New York, Albany

"By combining a stellar line up of contributors with expert, accessible and engaged analysis of key issues, this book is a one-stop and must-read source for students of international migration."

--Andrew Geddes, European University Institute

"An invaluable contribution to the literature, Introduction to International Migration remedies a long-standing gap in textbook options by providing thematic chapters rather than concentrating on countries. Contributors provide accessible overviews of major theoretical claims, providing a framework around which instructors can customize their courses. Each chapter also includes an assessment of cutting-edge trends, upon which researchers can build."

--Audie Klotz, Maxwell School of Citizenship & Public Affairs, Syracuse University

"Much as a buffet allows the diner to experience many dishes, Introduction to International Migration offers readers a taste of migration studies’ many subfields. Jeannette Money and Sarah P. Lockhart assemble top experts to provide concisely written, easily navigable overviews of knowledge in their respective subject matters. The result is atour d'horizon of one of the world's most important phenomena."

--Justin Gest, George Mason University

‘This collection brings together many of the best migration scholars and provides a fresh perspective of the state of the art in research about one of the greatest public policy challenges of our time. It should be essential reading for students and scholars of international migration.’

-- Eiko Thielemann, London School of Economics and Political Science

"This comprehensive textbook is more than a compilation of intelligent chapters by an accomplished group of women experts across the globe. The breath of topics and the global scope of the coverage are refreshing, and the consistent consideration of long neglected topics and regions like human trafficking, the migration industry, high-skilled labor or migration in the Global South make this compendium timely and unrivaled. In its entirety, the volume represents a thought-provoking and nuanced perspective to the major issues evoked by population movements in world politics today. Its commitment to scholarly research and empirical developments is beautifully peppered with original analyses. The editors’ effectiveness in streamlining the chapters along critical discussion questions and theoretical contexts provides for a definitive ‘go-to’ reference guide for both early and even more advanced migration students."
