Reviews

?This volume presents 19 national case studies of international migration. It should not be confused with the earlier companion work by three of these editors (International Handbook on Internal Migration, ed. by Charles B. Nam, Serow, and David Sly, CH, Oct '90). The 19 countries (Australia, Botswana, Canada, Federal Republic of Germany, French West Indies, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, Turkey, the UK, and the US) were selected to represent nations that have been principal recipients or senders of international migrants and nations whose international migration patterns reflect their pasts as either colonial powers or colonies. To establish some comparability among countries with such diverse international migration experiences, the editors requested that each contributor discuss the legal policies regarding international migration; data sources and quality; major movements; demographic, social, and economic effects; and public policy issues. The authors of these well-written, detailed, but nontechnical chapters have complied with the editors' request, thereby yielding a number of general observations that appear to hold across these diverse countries. Numerous tables, graphs, and charts; chapter bibliographies. Upper-division undergraduates and above.?-Choice
