"This very useful and authoritative compendium explicates thirty-eight concepts central to analysis of international migration. It is accessible to undergraduate students and even can enrich graduate courses. It nicely complements books like The Age of Migration or Exceptional People. Concision is a virtue!"
- Mark J. Miller, University of Delaware
This book provides lucid and intuitive explanations of the most important migration concepts as used in classrooms, among policymakers, and in popular and academic discourse. Arguing that there is a clear need for a better public understanding of migration, it sets out to clarify the field by exploring relevant concepts in a direct and engaging way. Each concept:
Includes an easy to understand definition
Provides real-world examples
Gives suggestions for further reading
Is carefully cross-referenced to other related concepts
It is an ideal resource for undergraduate and post-graduate students studying migration in sociology, politics, development and throughout the social sciences, as well as scholars in the field and practitioners in governmental and non-governmental organizations.
Reviews / Votes
This migration compendium of key terms and concepts offers students a wonderfully accessible and authoritative resource. It will both satisfy their need for a ready-reference volume and stimulate their curiosity to read more and dig deeper. -- Russell King Key Concepts in Migration demonstrates that the study of international migration has really come of age. From acculturation to undocumented immigration, the authors consider more than three dozen concepts at the heart of migration studies. Clearly written in a highly readable style, the book is a valuable resource for students and scholars alike. -- Nancy Foner This very useful and authoritative compendium explicates thirty-eight concepts central to analysis of international migration. It is accessible to undergraduate students and even can enrich graduate courses. It nicely complements books like The Age of Migration or Exceptional People. Concision is a virtue! -- Mark J. Miller An essential introduction to 'Migration' that is international in scope and rigorous in its attention to the scholars, nuances and debates in the field. -- Maggie O'Neill It is impressive how the authors can bring out the most central scholarly debates on, for instance, a concept of 'ethnicity' in just a few pages. It draws on most of the revenant scholars within the field... This is a very good and useful tool. The sections are furthermore ended with a number of suggestions for further key readings that overall include much of the relevant literature. . -- Martin Bak Jorgensen, Aalborg UniversityAll prices
