Ethnic Groups in Motion: Economic Competititon and Migration in Multiethnic States: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ethnic Groups in Motion: Economic Competititon and Migration in Multiethnic States" wrote himself).

During a single month in the year 2000, the following seemingly unrelated events occurred across the world. In Kosovo, Serbs and Albanians continued to evict each other from their respective homes. In China, the regulation of internal migration by the central authorities was being considered as Uygur Muslims protest against the reins on their mobility. In Austria Jorg Haider of the Freedom Party came to power advocating the repatriation of immigrants from Eastern Europe. In the United States, Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve, testified before Congress that it may be necessary to loosen immigration regulations to enable foreign labour to satisfy the demands of the growing US economy. These events share a common denominator, namely the movement of populations. Whether voluntary or involuntary, induced or restricted, domestic or international, large-scale population movements are a feature of the world at the turn of the new millennium.
Ethnic Groups in Motion focuses on one aspect of migration, namely its ethnic competition. Rather than observe population movements in general, this study is limited to the movements of specific ethnic groups. It explores the role played by ethnicity in determining which groups move and which groups stay, and contributes to the dialogue on the resolution of interethnic conflict by exploring several chains in the link between harmony and disharmony.

Foreword
The Frank Cass series on Nationalism and Ethnicity aims at presenting both in-depth monographic and comparative-theoretical approaches to nationalism, nation-building, and ethnicity. The present study by Milica Bookman fulfills that aim. Ambitious in its scope, thoroughly researched and impressively documented, it deals exhaustively with the relationship between economics, migration, ethnic consciousness and mobilization, interethnic competition or cooperation for obtaining a share of scarce resources, and economic growth and decline.
The author is not an economic determinist or instrumentalist in a dogmatic sense; while discussing the economic motivation for the migration patterns of ethnic groups, she focuses equally on the impact of immigration on the labor market and on economic performance as well as on cultural patterns and political values. Her universe of research is wide ranging; in making her case, the author uses historical as well as statistical evidence from multiethnic countries around the globe.
A major theme of Professor Bookmans work is the relationship between host countries and immigrants. That relationship is determined by the economic system of the receiving country, its general macroeconomic policies, and measures aimed specifically at immigrants who constitute an ethnic minority. The author analyzes a variety of policy choices, both inclusionary and exclusionary. The former include affirmative action, tax concessions, subsidies, and easy access to education, jobs, and welfare state benefits. Among the latter are entry quotas, ethnic restrictions on employment; the resort to scab and slave labor, ethnic cleansing, deportation, and other forms of involuntary migration. The examination of other measures directed at immigrants that have economic consequences includes language policies and the application of the criterion of language use for discrimination in hiring and access to citizenship. In this connection, attention is also devoted to the negative economic impact of ethnic repression on a nations economy. Finally, there is a discussion of the economic effects of out-migration on the sending country.
Professor Bookman takes up a number of important issues: the role of the market in moderating or sharpening ethnic consciousness; the question of whether capitalism fosters the integration of ethnic minorities or discrimination against them; and the fate of ethnic minority labor in the event of economic stagnation or decline. Questions are also raised concerning the positive or negative impact of immigrants on the host country, especially in terms of economic and political behavior: do they contribute to, or detract from, the ethos of productivity or democratic ideology? Does their presence serve to make the culture of the receiving society more interesting or, on the contrary, contribute to cultural dilution and insecurities with respect to national identity? These questions are, inter alia, applied also to diasporas, whose number and impact have become increasingly important.
William Safran

Acknowledgments
In writing this book, I have depended on many people to help, cajole, enable, introduce, fund, advise, and encourage. I was cognizant of their contribution on a daily basis, whether it resulted in a page well written or a draft quickly shredded. Therefore, I take this opportunity to express my deepest appreciation to them.
I owe a debt of gratitude to those who put me in contact with valuable sources and helped set up interviews: Charlie Schreiner, Wayne Selcher, and Alfonso Obughezi. I am grateful to Gustavo Gonzaga, Adalberto Cardoso, and Miladin Kovacevic for answering my questions and raising new ones.
Selected contents of this book were presented to academic audiences during lectures and at conferences. I want to thank Al Rubinstein, Ljubisa Adamovic, and Stephen Lubermann for their useful comments.
