Worlds on the Move: Globalisation, Migration and Cultural Security

Friedman (director of studies at Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, France) and Randeria (sociology and social anthropology, Central European U., Hungary) present 15 papers focusing on the issue of global migration and its impact on sociocultural fragmentation, the formation of transnational networks and ethnic and class identities, and the relative strength of the nation-state. The papers also consider the role of migration in changing political and legal regimes of citizenship and belonging. Distributed in the US by Palgrave. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
