<p> <i> </i>“<em>This volume fills a theoretical and empirical gap in the study of migration and globalization. Drawing upon the wealth of insights that anthropology may provide into the complex tapestry of spatial mobility, the volume enriches our understanding of the reasons behind global migration, providing a view of its effects on migrants and the social formation they are part of.</em>”<b> · </b> <strong>Social Anthropology/Anthropologie sociale</strong></p> <p> <i>"This book represents a superb edited collection of important and relevant articles on the relationship between class and migration in the contemporary world. As such, the introduction and the articles make a major contribution to the literatures on migration and industrial/service work under contemporary capitalist conditions of labor and neoliberal globalization."</i><b> · Donald M. Nonini</b>, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill</p> <p> <i>“The authors challenge currently dominant approaches to migration, and offer important ways to move between the individual experience and the structure of the world system.”</i><b> · Alan Smart</b>, University of Calgary</p>
