This volume focuses on contemporary issues surrounding global migration, both in the wider world and, more specifically, in the US. Editors Collier and Strain have assembled 16 essays on the subject from contributors, most of whom are academics; others are practitioners and activists in the field. The contributions include views from representatives of major world religions (Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism), but the dominant viewpoint is that of liberal Roman Catholic social teachings. The volume is organized into three sections. The first focuses on questions concerning contemporary migration of peoples around the world and ways the forces of globalization have affected this. The second examines various religious and ethical perspectives on the treatment of migrants and on calls for justice for them. The third section concentrates on ethical and political analysis of current immigration policies in the US. . . .Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and researchers/faculty.
