Migration is a central issue in international relations, and one of the most important questions of domestic politics in many countries. The Age of Migration provides a global perspective on the nature of migration movements, why they take place, and their effects on countries as different as Britain and the USA, Australia and Germany, and Canada and France. Showing how migration almost always leads to formation of ethnic minorities, the book examines how growing ethnic diversity affects economies, cultures, and political institutions and challenges existing forms of citizenship and national identity. This second edition has been completely revised and updated, including increased coverage of new migrations in Africa and Latin America and a new chapter on the Asia-Pacific region.

Castles' 5th edition is a winner

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015

Verified Purchase

Once again, in the 5th edition, Stephen Castles and his co-authors give a brilliant, global overview of patterns of migration and their underlying causes. This is both an excellent text for undergraduate or graduate students and a handy reference for scholars in the field. Written in a clear and well-organized manner, this book not only describes the causes and impacts of migration today but also places contemporary trends in their historical context.

THE textbook for students of migration. It came highly recommended by my university professor for an intorductory text to the subject and I have found it to be informative and easy to follow. A well written book on the subject that people should try to get to know more about.
