This book, written by one of the leading authorities on migration,
traces the growth of global migration since 1945, showing how it has
produced fundamental economic, social and cultural changes in most
parts of the world. Using techniques of comparative analysis the book
shows the gap between global migration and policy. As the postwar
demand for labour outstripped supply, flows of ethnic migration were
encouraged throughout the developed Western countries. The rooting of
new ethnicities in different soils was neither planned or managed
effectively. The book shows how the economic demand for work has been
supplemented by the demand from asylum seekers to recognize injustice
and oppression. The book also examines the emergence of multicultural
societies and the impact of this on traditional concepts of
citizenship, culture and identity.
