This reference surveys migration and immigration past and present in 14 representative countries. Historical, social, political, and economic consequences of migration are considered. Students and researchers will find the synthesis indispensable and the format ideal for comparisons.''The collective analysis of the contributors, who hail from a range of disciplines, ultimately defies the simple characterization of migration as a choice of people seeking better income opportunities. The authors are sensitive to the ways that race, class, and gender dynamics influence the composition of migratory flows, the reasons why people migrate, and the outcomes of population movements. Each chapter explicates the human cost of migration, giving readers a better understanding of social issues underlying migration at the beginning of the 21st century.World view of social issues.Emigration and immigrationMigration, InternalEmigration and immigration.Migration, Internal.304.8/2Toro-Morn Maura I(Maura Isabel),1961-1465243Alicea Marixsa1960-1465244MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777413503321Migration and immigration3675153UNINA
