| Summary: | "While debate about immigration rages within the United States, people worldwide are moving across national borders with unprecedented intensity. In this timely volume, leading scholars in sociology, anthropology, history, and law examine how the actions of the United States as a global leader are increasing pressures on people to migrate, while simultaneously degrading migrant rights from East Asia to Mexico. Uniting such diverse issues as market reform, drug policy, and terrorism under a common framework of human rights, the book constitutes a call for a new vision on immigration more comprehensive than anything yet imagined in the U.S. immigration debate." --Book Jacket. |
