Reviews:

• The book is divided into regional sections (Western Hemisphere, Europe, Asia and Australia, and the Middle East and Africa), and the well-written chapters within the sections explore a variety of topics and issues on immigration and emigration--contemporary as well as historical issues. As a collection of readings, this book would be very useful in upper-level undergraduate and graduate seminars. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.
