Migration Theory: Talking Across Disciplines Book

Immigration is a topic of keen and growing academic interest, yet rarely do people working in one discipline share with those in other fields. This unique new collection seeks to bridge the gap. Each essay in Migration Theory focuses on key concepts, questions, and theoretical perspectives on the topic of international migration in a particular discipline while the volume as a whole teaches readers about similarities and differences across the boundaries between one academic field and the next. How, for example, do political scientists wrestle with the question of citizenship as compared with sociologists, and how different is this from the questions that anthropologists explore in dealing with ethnicity and identity? Migration Theory provides an invaluable dialogue across disciplines. Contributors include: Caroline Brettell, Barry Chiswick, Hasia Diner, James Hollifield, Charles B. Keely, Barbara Schmitter-Heisler, and Peter Schuck.Read More
