From acculturation to undocumented immigration, the authors consider more than three dozen concepts at the heart of migration studies. Clearly written in a highly readable style, the book is a valuable resource for students and scholars alike.
Nancy Foner, City University of New York
An essential introduction to ‘Migration’ that is international in scope and rigorous in its attention to the scholars, nuances and debates in the field.
Maggie O'Neill, Durham University
It is impressive how the authors can bring out the most central scholarly debates on, for instance, a concept of ‘ethnicity’ in just a few pages. It draws on most of the revenant scholars within the field... This is a very good and useful tool. The sections are furthermore ended with a number of suggestions for further key readings that overall include much of the relevant literature. .
