Sommario/riassunto

Now in its second edition, Migration provides a critical, multi-disciplinary, advanced, and theoretically-informed introduction to migration and immigration. The multi-disciplinary text draws on insights from human geography, political science, social anthropology, sociology, and to a lesser extent economics. Revised and updated with new material, new maps and illustrations and an accompanying website, it continues to be aimed at advanced undergraduates and Masters-level graduate students undertaking courses on migration and immigration.
