Global Migration provides a clear, concise, and well-organized discussion of historical patterns and contemporary trends of migration, while guiding the readers through an often difficult and politicised topic. Aimed primarily at undergraduate and Master’s students, the text encourages the readers to reflect on economic processes, politics, immigrant lives and raises debates about inclusion, exclusion, and citizenship. The text critically highlights the global character of contemporary migration and the importance of historical context to current processes and emphasises the role of gender, race and national ideologies in shaping migration experiences.
Using over a decade of their own insight into teaching undergraduate migration courses in the US and the UK, and the knowledge and understanding of the subject they have acquired as migration researchers, the authors offer an accessible and student-friendly manner for readers to understand and explore the complex issue of migration. The book features numerous international case studies, a chapter dedicated to the perspective of the immigrants themselves, as well as key terms and further readings at the end of each chapter.
Both theoretically and empirically informed Global Migration examines the subject in a holistic and expansive way. It will equip students with an understanding of the complex issues of migration and serve as a guide for instructors in structuring their courses and in identifying important bodies of scholarly research on migration issues.

‘This is an invaluable guide to understanding global migration. Beginning with a historical overview of global migration from the sixteenth century onwards, the book then focuses on labour migration, migration and development, refugees, state regulation, citizenship and integration and migrant lives and identities. The book engages with a wide range of ideas and examples in illuminating and compelling ways. Particularly impressive in the clarity of its multi-disciplinary approach, the book provides an excellent guide for both students and a wider readership interested in learning more about the complex and multi-faceted nature of migration and how it shapes our world.’
