Michael Bommes was one of the most brilliant and original migration studies scholars of our time. This posthumous collection brings together a selection of his most important work on immigration, integration, transnationalism, irregular migration and migrant networks. Each essay provides a rigorous and compelling critique of mainstream accounts, building on Bommes’ distinctive systems theoretic approach. It will be required reading for all theoretically minded scholars and advanced students of migration studies.
"This collection demonstrates the insight and rigour of Bommes’ fundamental contributions to immigration studies. It provides sharp, essential observations of social and political responses to immigration – to be read by anyone interested in these issues." - Andrew Geddes, Professor of Politics, University of Sheffield |"In Bommes, the academy lost a scholar with penetrating analyses of migration, the welfare state and social systems where the two interact. By completing his last project, Boswell and D’Amato have done scholarship a lasting service. A major contribution to public debate and a tribute to a very great man." - Randall Hansen, Canada Research Chair in Immigration & Governance, University of Toronto
