Críticas

"Hollifield and Brettell have put together an excellent introduction and informative essays by leading scholars of immigration. Both scholars and students of immigration will profit from reading this book." -David M. Reimers, Professor of History, New York University "The first comprehensive assessment of theories of international migration across all the social sciences, this volume is a valuable guide not only to the perspectives of one's own discipline but to those of cognate fields. They make a persuasive case for more systematic interdisciplinary communication." -Gary P. Freeman, Professor of Government, University of Texas at Austin "A timely and valuable contribution to the study of international migration. By bringing together essays on the way history, law, and different social science fields approach and analyze migration, Migration Theory will stimulate cross-disciplinary conversation and dialogue on a topic of growing interest and importance." -Nancy Foner, Professor of Anthropology, State University of New York, Purchase "The provocative, highly informative, and well-written articles highlight cutting-edge issues and provude detailed bibliographic references. Highly recommended. "Choice, January 2001." "A sumptuous interdisciplinary feast of rich perspectives on one of the great phenomena of the global era--the mass migration of human beings across national boundaries. Few events more vividly define and reflect our modern age. The distinguished authors and editors of this book have produced an impressive holistic account of the story of immigration." -Stephen H. Legomsky, Nagel Professor of International Law, Washington University
