'This Handbook arrives at a significant time, when state and public responses to human mobility have taken a particularly hostile turn. A rich compendium, it examines numerous key spaces, scales, structures and dynamics of migration that characterize our turbulent era.'--Steven Vertovec, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany'By highlighting the intersection of two major themes - qualitative historical change within continuity and the significance of spatial analysis in the mapping of economic and political restructuring - this book advances migration studies and speaks to our precarious challenging times.'--Nina Glick Schiller, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany'This comprehensively framed and engaging collection of essays by leading international geographers provides an innovative global perspective and critical analytic insights for both scholars and advocates into the multiple cultural, social, and political dimensions of international migration - a major contribution to contemporary theoretical and public policy debates.'--Josh DeWind, Social Science Research Council, US
