Migration, Incorporation, and Change in an Interconnected World

Written in engaging and approachable prose, Migration, Incorporation, and Change in an Interconnected World covers the bulk of material a student needs to get a good sense of the empirical and theoretical trends in the field of migration studies, while being short enough that professors can easily build their courses around it without hesitating to assign additional readings. Taking a unique approach, Ali and Hartmann focus on what they consider the important topics and the potential route the field is going to take, and incorporate a conceptual lens that makes this much more than a simple relaying of facts.

Syed Ali is Associate Professor of Sociology at Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY. He is currently the co-editor of Contexts Magazine and is the author of Dubai: Gilded Cage (Yale UP, 2010). He is also an Ultimate Frisbee player and a potter.

Douglas Hartmann is Professor of Sociology at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of Race, Culture, and the Revolt of the Black Athlete: The 1968 Olympic Protests and Their Aftermath (University of Chicago Press, 2003) and co-author of Ethnicity and Race: Making Identities in a Changing World (Pine Forge Press). Hartmann is also co-editor and publisher of the award-winning TheSocietyPages.org.

C ONTENTS

This book is and is not a textbook. It has the look of a textbook, in that it covers the bulk of material a student should need to understand to get a good sense of the empirical and theoretical trends in the field of migration studies. But it is not really a textbook in that it is not comprehensive. We planned it that way. We wanted the book to be short and cheap and conceptual so that the professor could use it to build a course around, and not feel too guilty assigning students additional materials to read. Wasnt that nice of us?

Because the book is purposefully short, we had to make stark choices as to what to put in and what to leave out. If you compare our book to other migration textbooks, you will find that much of what they discuss is missing from here. Conversely, much of what is in here you wont find anywhere else. Again, that is on purpose. A lot of whats in the book is our take on what is important in the field, where we think the field is going, and to a degree is a matter of taste. The chapters on Muslim immigrants in the West, low-end migrant workers (including lengthy sections on marriage migration, sex work, and human trafficking), and high-end expatriate workers are indicative of this. While you may not find the breadth of topics you could get elsewhere, we try to make up for it in depth and readability, especially with topics that others do not deal with, or only touch upon. (And for the professors out there, this lends itself easily to assigning short and long essay questions. If any students are reading this preface, please stop groaning.)
