Focusing on the intersection between globalization and migration, this powerful text traces a dynamic, contradictory process that has set the world in motion and incorporated millions of migrants into an economic market whose dimensions are unprecedented in human history. While globalization is eliminating barriers between countries and making it easier for goods and capital to move around the world, the industrialized countries of the Global North are simultaneously putting up barriers to people and making it harder for them to migrate. Eliot Dickinson explains how we have arrived at this paradoxical point in history and critically examines why governments are enacting policies that protect borders instead of people. | Globalization And Migration by Eliot Dickinson, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
