Selected Studies in International Migration and Immigrant Incorporation
Distributed for Amsterdam University Press
Over the past decade there have been significant advances in the field of migration and ethnic studies, ranging in topic from ethnic conflict and discrimination to nationalism, citizenship, and integration policy. But many of these studies are oriented towards the United States, slighting, when not outright ignoring, the European perspective. This volume—the first in a set of four—will fill this research gap, gathering essays that have set a benchmark for research on and in Europe.
“The editors have selected from both the grounding classics and the best new work to show how migration is transforming the rich democracies.”
“A must not only for courses focused on Europe, but also a most useful tool for shedding new light on North American migration by casting it in an often neglected comparative context.”
