| Summary |
Migration is perhaps the most critical social and legal issue shaping global society today and the quality of life worldwide. Applying a range of disciplinary perspectives - anthropology, criminology, family social science, law, political science, social welfare, sociology, and women's studies - the essays in "The Other People" examine the lives of migrants and the communities through which migrants travel. Skillfully written in the passionate voices of experts in migration studies, "The Other People" will provoke scholars and students - as well as professionals in education, law, health care, politics, religion, and human rights - to think more broadly, not only about migration but also about social justice |
