Migration Theory:

Talking Across Disciplines
Front Cover
Caroline Bieler Brettell, James Frank Hollifield
1 Review
Routledge, 2000 - Social Science - 239 pages
Immigration is a topic of keen and growing academic interest, yet rarely do people working in one discipline share with those in other fields. This unique new collection seeks to bridge the gap. Each essay inMigration Theoryfocuses on key concepts, questions, and theoretical perspectives on the topic of international migration in a particular discipline while the volume as a whole teaches readers about similarities and differences across the boundaries between one academic field and the next. How, for example, do political scientists wrestle with the question of citizenship as compared with sociologists, and how different is this from the questions that anthropologists explore in dealing with ethnicity and identity?Migration Theoryprovides an invaluable dialogue across disciplines. Contributors include: Caroline Brettell, Barry Chiswick, Hasia Diner, James Hollifield, Charles B. Keely, Barbara Schmitter-Heisler, and Peter Schuck.

Review: Migration Theory: Talking Across Disciplines

User Review  - Brian - Goodreads

If you want a broad overview of how a wide range of different disciplines theorize migration, it seems that this book is pretty much the only one out there, or at least the only one that is reasonably up-to-date. Leaves a lot out, but covers a lot of ground. Read full review
