- Summary:
- "With migration becoming one of the key challenges of our times, population geography and migration studies are seeing an unprecedent interest across all social sciences programmes. The study of issues that affect population patterns (such as demographic change, migration, refugee movement, internal displacement, ethnic and racial categorisation) is nowadays a vibrant field which brings together scholarships in geography, sociology, political science, anthropology, population science, and much more. Migration: A Critical Introduction aims to tackle this growing market and is intended as an introductory textbook to migration and its multiple geographies and geographical contexts. Covering topics in labor migration, family migration, forced migration (slavery, refugees, asylum seekers, deportees), student migration and environmental/climate migration, the book foregrounds both how various categories of migration are produced through policies and legal regimes and the ways that the boundaries between them are blurred and subverted."-- Provided by publisher.
