‘In our day and age, when migrants in the West are no longer confined to cities and metropoles, but also increasingly make their mark in the countryside and small towns, there is a dire need for scholarly research on migration outside urban areas. Wait no more. In Daniel Rauhut’s New Methods and Theory on Immigration Integration, all those sorely overlooked topics are carefully analyzed from refreshing perspectives by distinguished scholars in the field. Along with it, conventional wisdom is being challenged. Certainly, an extremely valuable research and teaching resource!’
