part one discusses the socio-economic and contextual determinants of immigration attitudes across multiple nations
part two explores how the economy can affect public opinion
part three presents different perspectives on the issue of causality - do attitudes about immigration drive politics, or do politics drive attitudes?
part four investigates how several types of framing are critical to understanding public opinion and how a wide range of political factors can mould public opinion, and often in ways that work against immigration and immigrants
part five examines the views of the largest immigrant group in the U.S. - Latinos - as well as how opinions are shaped by contact with and opinions about immigrants in the U.S. and Canada.
An essential read to all who wish to understand the nature of immigration research from a theoretical as well as practical point of view.
Reviews / Votes
"With contributions by a veritable who's who of leading migration scholars from Europe and North America, this book critically scrutinizes the complex relationship between immigration and public opinion in contemporary liberal democratic states. Anyone interested in developing a sophisticated understanding of how public opinion shapes (and is shaped by) one of the most contentious political issues of our time will find this work indispensable."-Matthew J. Gibney, University of Oxford
"Bringing together an impressive number of experts, this volume is a central resource and a necessary stop for anyone interested in public attitudes toward immigrants and immigration."
-Alin M. Ceobanu, University of Florida

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
