"Using theory, compelling case studies, and empirical information, this book succinctly ties academic scholarship to current and historic global migration trends. Its tightly organized structure and teaching-friendly features, such as chapter sections on suggested readings, make it ideal for introductory global migration classes."- Deirdre Oakley, Georgia State University, USA."In an age where the global political debate around immigration has reached a crescendo, Hanlon and Vicino deliver an indispensable and accessible exposition of the story of human migration. Global Migration synthesizes a variety of social science theories related to why migration occurs, but also where, when and how people migrate. Perhaps most impressively, Global Migration provides exceptional insights into the consequences of migration for receiving societies and migrants themselves." - Ryan Allen, University of Minnesota, USA.
