'This is a timely contribution to an important and often neglected subject – the relationship between migration and inequality. There has been a major shift in attitudes towards migration over the last decade, driven by emerging evidence of the significance of migrant remittances both in monetary terms, and in terms of their reach through many parts of the developing world. Yet nagging doubts remain about whether these remittances genuinely reflect or facilitate a route out of poverty for poor people, or whether instead they contribute to increasing inequality, in which some are trapped or pushed into situations of increased disadvantage. This book tackles these concerns head on, and provides evidence from a range of geographical regions that inequality in its various forms – economic, social, gender, etc. - can be exacerbated by the process of migration. It should be required reading for anyone interested in the nexus between migration, development and poverty.' — Professor Richard Black, Professor of Human Geography, University of Sussex, UK'An outstanding examination of the intersections of migration, class, gender and racialization, Migration and Inequality is an important contribution to migration studies. Tanja Bastia’s comprehensive introduction and the book’s well-written and far ranging articles advance existing analyses of the relationship between globalization and multiple forms of situated inequality. Assessing a range of inequalities within trajectories of development, contributors build on current critiques of the migration development nexus to ask whether, when, how, or if migration transforms "unequal social structures" or whether it only reproduces structures of inequality and hierarchy. Exploring both internal and international migration, so frequently part of migration histories but often addressed by different literatures and development policies, this is a book worth reading from cover to cover.' — Professor Nina Glick Schiller, Emeritus Professor of Social Anthropology and Founding Director, Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures, University of Manchester, UK
