‘This first comprehensive overview of migration studies summarizes research about international and internal, voluntary and forced migrations across the world’s more and less developed regions. The book explains concisely the field’s data, concepts, and theories, as refined since the 19th century, and its contributions to contemporary public policies that enhance benefits and minimize disruptions from population movements. Drawing on five decades as a migrant, researcher, teacher, and policy advisor, the author provides essential guidance to future research and policy making.’
