Product Description
Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this widely adopted text provides a global perspective on the nature of migration movements, why they take place, and their effects on industrialized countries and the developing world. Extensively rewritten chapters provide information on and comparative analyses of the world's main migration regions. The role of migration in the formation of ethnic minority groups is examined, as is the impact of growing ethnic diversity on economies, cultures, and political institutions. Included are a wealth of concrete examples, tables, and maps.

Lots of info, little theory, 2008-10-06
Castles and Miller are considered the standard citation in social sciences for a historical overview of worldwide migration after WWII. The book covers a lot of material - numbers, policies, brief histories - but offers very little in the way of theoretical explanations for migration. Why are so many people migrating? Why do they go where they go? Why do they leave where they leave? It is a useful book to have on my bookshelf, but it is by no means a definitive work on migration.
