Description
Book SynopsisExploring the motivations of migrants in countries around the world, this book proposes a new model of immigration that accounts for the cultural beliefs and social patterns that influence people to move—or to remain at home.
Trade Review"Cohen and Sirkeci's Cultures of Migration is an encouraging and ambitious attempt to introduce a new focus in the study of migration...In sum, it is a refreshing breeze in the growing arena of migration studies that Cultures of Migration raises our awareness of a new, more universal dimension, in the understanding of migration and migrants that merits attention." - Linda Q. Wang, University of South Carolina-Aiken, International Social Science Review
