Migration and Economy: Global and Local Dynamics
Although they approach their topics from a range of thematic and theoretical perspectives, the nine papers presented here by Trager (anthropology, U. of Wisconsin-Parkside) reflect a focus on migration as a dynamic process that responds to and is shaped by broader economic, cultural, and social forces and which can lead to new forms of social and economic institutions and processes, such as transnational and multilocal networks through which remittances and other flows take place. The first five chapters consider relationships of individual migrants, households, and social stratification in examinations of labor migration in Southern Puerto Rico; multilocality in Mali; nonmigrant houses in Oaxaca, Mexico; and migration as risk taking in Kazakhstan. The remaining contributions discuss the importance of remittances within the broader, social, and cultural contexts of migration, examining cases from Nigeria, Portugal, and Mozambique.
