| Sumario: | "Using techniques of comparative analysis, the book demonstrates the lag between global migration and policy. As the postwar demand for labour outstripped supply, immigration of workers of various ethnic and social backgrounds was encouraged throughout the developed West. However, the implantation of new ethnicities in different soils was neither planned nor managed effectively. The later chapters go on to show how globalization and the emergence of transnational networks have transformed migration since the 1980s, giving rise to complex flows of labour migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, highly-skilled personnel and settlers." "Ethnicity and Globalization will be for anyone interested in debates on migration, citizenship and globalization."--Jacket. |
