Book Synopsis
A collection of essays examining contemporary global immigration trends and their profound effect on specific host cities. It provides a global portrait of accelerating, worldwide immigration driven by income differentials, social networks, and various state policies that recruit skilled and unskilled laborers.

Trade Review
This book has great value, both for its scholarly contributions to research on the migratory dimensions of globalization and for its utility as a teaching tool. The essays of this book paint a picture of a shifting global landscape shaped by global capital, by ever growing social networks, the reaffirmation of the nation-state, and through contestation. In every essay, migrants have in some way transformed the host society, regardless of whether they settled long-term or moved on. This book’s scope is global, underscoring the interconnections among global cities and the flows among them as perhaps more primarily definitive of contemporary human mobilities than the jigsaw model of juxtaposed nation-states.
