Explore the profound insights of 'Migration and Inequality' by Mirna Safi, a groundbreaking book that examines the intricate relationship between migration and social inequality. This essential read addresses the pressing political debates surrounding migration, shifting the focus to how various migration processes create disparities among different populations. With a fresh perspective, Safi delves into three key channels contributing to unequal outcomes for both migrants and non-migrants: the global division of labor, the creation of legal frameworks, and the reconfiguration of ethnoracial identities. This critical analysis illuminates how these factors categorize migrants as types of workers, citizens, and humans, ultimately impacting their place within society. By intertwining migration studies with the dynamics of social inequality, this book challenges conventional views of social justice, making it indispensable for students and researchers in fields such as migration sociology, ethnic studies, and social stratification. Benefit from this enlightening discussion and enrich your understanding of how migration shapes social landscapes across the U.S. and Europe. Perfect for those eager to engage thoughtfully with contemporary issues of justice and policy, 'Migration and Inequality' will provide valuable perspectives for all who seek to grasp the complexities of migration and its implications for society.

Description:


In a world of increasingly heated political debates on migration, relentlessly caught up in questions of security, humanitarian crisis, and cultural śproblems,ť this book radically shifts the focus to address migration through the lens of inequality.   Taking an innovative approach, Mirna Safi offers a fresh perspective on how migration is embedded in the elementary mechanisms that shape the landscape of inequality. She sketches out three distinct channels which lead to unequal outcomes for different migrating and non-migrating groups: the global division of labor; the production of legal and administrative categories; and the reconfiguration of symbolic ethnoracial groups. Respectively, these channels categorize migrants as śtype of workers,ť śtype of citizens,ť and śtype of humans.ť Examining this intersection across the U.S. and Europe, she shows how studying international migration together with inequality can challenge nationally established paradigms of social justice.   This timely book will be essential reading for all students and researchers interested in the sociology and politics of migration, ethnic and racial studies, and social inequality and stratification.
