  • 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.

Description: Adler and Gielen developed this volume to add the voices of a prominent international group of cross-culturally oriented psychologists to the worldwide debate on migration. Contributors to the book analyze worldwide configurations of migration, fundamental psychosocial factors involved in immigration and emigration, and patterns of migration from and to 16 nations and regions around the globe. The richly varied contributions focus on immigration to the United States from areas as varied as Mexico, the Caribbean, and Ireland, migrations in Colombia, immigrant families in Germany, Poland, and Norway, and migration from and into Japan, South Africa, Egypt, Israel, Australia, and the Phillippines. Of particular interest to scholars, students, and other researchers involved with migration, ethnic groups, and international psychology.
