Praise for Introduction to International Migration
By systematically incorporating analysis of migration dynamics within the Global South, this textbook goes beyond comparison of migration to developed countries of Europe and North America typical of most books assigned in migration studies courses. The books global scope is matched by a depth of analysis achieved with tightly coordinated thematic chapters written by top scholars in their respective areas of expertisea truly impressive feat. While a great choice for upper-level undergraduate courses, graduate students will also appreciate the expert overview that is foundational to more focused study and research.

An invaluable contribution to the literature, Introduction to International Migration remedies a long-standing gap in textbook options by providing thematic chapters rather than concentrating on countries. Contributors provide accessible overviews of major theoretical claims, providing a framework around which instructors can customize their courses. Each chapter also includes an assessment of cutting-edge trends, upon which researchers can build.

This collection brings together many of the best migration scholars and provides a fresh perspective of the state of the art in research about one of the greatest public policy challenges of our time. It should be essential reading for students and scholars of international migration.
Eiko Thielemann, London School of Economics and Political Science
This comprehensive textbook is more than a compilation of intelligent chapters by an accomplished group of women experts across the globe. The breadth of topics and the global scope of the coverage are refreshing, and the consistent consideration of long-neglected topics and regions like human trafficking, the migration industry, high-skilled labor, or migration in the Global South make this compendium timely and unrivaled. In its entirety, the volume represents a thought-provoking and nuanced perspective to the major issues evoked by population movements in world politics today. Its commitment to scholarly research and empirical developments is beautifully peppered with original analyses. The editors effectiveness in streamlining the chapters along critical discussion questions and theoretical contexts provides for a definitive go-to reference guide for both early and even more advanced migration students.

Original chapters by prominent women migration scholars cover a complex and multifaceted issue area including various types of migration, the mechanisms of migration governance, the impact of migration on both host and home societies, the migrants themselves in a transnational space, and the nexus between migration and other aspects of globalization.
