"A lively volume that nicely weaves together the literatures on
international migration and ethnic relations....This is an
informative, stimulating overview of international migration and
links with critical issues surrounding the emergence of
multicultural societies. The book will appeal to a wide audience.
It is written in a highly readable, fluid style....It is
multidisciplinary in nature and could be used in a variety of
instructional settings ranging from undergraduate courses to
graduate seminars." (on the first edition) -- "Growth and Change"

"A synthetic, widely ranging, and accessible account of
international migration, which goes beyond the where, when, and why
to speak to the complex ways in which migration changes
society....The real contribution of this book is...its linking of
migration and social change in a historic and constructive way."
(on the first edition) -- "Annals of the Association of American
Geographers" (6/14/2013 12:00:00 AM)
"The strengths of previous editions...have been noted by reviewers
and readers over the last decade and a half: a text which is
authoritative yet eminently readable; a wide span of case studies
from the main theatres of immigration around the world; an
appropriate sense of history; useful maps...instructive tables and
textboxes; an extensive bibliography, and a thorough index. The way
the text is written--with a lack of jargon and with key concepts
carefully explained--makes it suitable for lay readers and
especially valuable for undergraduates, but its wide range and
authoritative voice make it equally useful as a primer for graduate
students and ready reference for academics and migration experts."
