The Age of Migration:International Population Movements in the Modern World 4th Edition

International migration is an ever-more central aspect of globalization in the contemporary world. The 4th edition of the leading text in the field has been completely recast and updated to provide a comprehensive assessment of the nature, extent and dimensions of international population movements and of their consequences.
Reviews of previous editions:
'Widely and deservedly praised as a major achievement... Castles and Miller have their own distinctive model of the migratory process but manage at the same time to cover almost every major theme of current migration studies.'
- Rainer Bauböck, Ethnic and Racial Studies'An historical account of the major migratory trends before the second world war, supplemented by up-to-date, comprehensive analysis of 'new migrations'. The outstanding strength of this volume is that its critique of causal explanations of migration is married to an exploration of the impact of immigration on 'host' societies.'
