Summary:

This collection of articles on migration to, and within, South Africa provides an overview of current trends and presents practical solutions for improvements in policy. The work looks at both on-the-ground realities, including the economic and social effects of immigration, as well as public policy that succeeds and fails at addressing immigration from economic, cultural and human rights perspectives. Topics discussed include national immigration policies in the post-apartheid era, the role of skilled labor, effects of immigration and immigration policies on local and regional economies and governments, and poverty and public health. Contributors include South African and European academics and experts in immigration policy. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
