Migration Theory: Talking across Disciplines

by Caroline B. Brettell (Editor)

During the last decade the issue of migration has increased in global prominence and has caused controversy among the host countries around the world. Continuing their interdisciplinary approach, editors Catherine Brettell and James Hollifield have included revised essays from the first edition in such fields as anthropology, political science, and history. This edition also features new essays by a demographer, geopgrapher, and sociologist.

[Brian · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you want a broad overview of how a wide range of different disciplines theorize migration, it seems that this book is pretty much the only one out there, or at least the only one that is reasonably up-to-date. Leaves a lot out, but covers a lot of ground.

Пізнавальна та корисна з точки зору бібліографії праця. Мабуть, єдине, чого мені не вистачало, то це глибшої концептуалізації проблематики. Робота ставить більше питань, ніж дає відповідей, однак для науковця це тільки плюс, оскільки надає ґрунт для новаторських ідей.
