Edited by Victoria M. Esses, Donald E. Abelson
Part of the McGill-Queen's Studies in Ethnic History series
Description
Human migration has reached an unprecedented level, and the numbers are expected to continue growing into the foreseeable future.
Host societies and migrants face challenges in ensuring that the benefits of migration accrue to both parties, and that economic and socio-cultural costs are minimized.
An insightful comparative examination of the policies and practices that manage and support immigrants, Twenty-First-Century Immigration to North America identifies and addresses issues that arose in the early years of the twenty-first century and considers what to expect in the years ahead.
The volume begins with an overview of immigration policies and practices in the United States and Canada, then moves to an investigation of the economic and socio-cultural aspects, and concludes with a dialogue on precarious migration.
Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the editors include research from the areas of psychology, political science, economics, sociology, and public policy.
Underscoring the complicated nature of immigration, this collection aims to foster further discussion and inspire future research in the United States and Canada.
