Causes and Consequences of Global Migration
This book has been written for those who want to find out more about why people migrate and what the consequences are of their doing so. It looks at what motives drive people to migrate and at migrants' economic outcomes in their destination countries. It describes the state of knowledge about the economic and social consequences of migration for the communities that receive the migrants.
Border and Rule
This book shows migrant crises to be the inevitable outcomes of conquest, capitalist globalization, and climate change generating mass dispossession worldwide. It explores a number of seemingly disparate global geographies with shared logics of border rule that displace, immobilize, criminalize, exploit, and expel migrants and refugees.
