Beyond Economic Migration Social, Historical, and Political Factors in US Immigration
Controlling Immigration A Comparative Perspective, Fourth Edition
Ed. by Min Zhou & Hasan Mahmud Most understandings of migration to the US focus on two primary factors. Either there was trouble in the home country that pushed people out, or there was a general yearning for “a better life”. Although many contemporary migrants in the United States have been driven by economic interests, the processes of immigration are shaped also by the intersection of a range of noneconomic factors. The contributors to Beyond Economic Migration offer a nuanced look at a range of issues affecting motives to migrate and outcomes of integration. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY PRESS

Global Labor Migration New Directions
Heath Cabot Since the global financial crisis of 2008, Greece has struggled with internal political and financial insecurity as well as hosting enormous numbers of migrants and asylum seekers who arrive by land and sea.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA PRESS

Managed Migrations
Growers, Farmworkers, and Border Enforcement in the Twentieth Century
Cristina Salinas Managed Migrations examines the relationship between immigration laws and policy and the agricultural labor relations of growers and workers in South Texas and El Paso during the 1940s and 1950s. Salinas argues that immigration law was mainly enacted as a result of daily decisions by the Border Patrol that growers and workers negotiated and contested. Salinas' pioneering research reveals the great extent to which immigration policy was made at the local level, as well as the agency of Mexican farmworkers UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS PRESS Series: Historia USA March 2023 286pp 9781477316153 £25.99 PB now £18.19
