Description
Migration and Inequality offers a fresh perspective on how migration is embedded in the mechanisms that shape inequality. Mirna Safi examines three channels through which unequal outcomes arise for different groups: the global division of labor, the production of legal categories, and the reconfiguration of symbolic ethnoracial groups.
By exploring these intersections across the US and Europe, Safi challenges nationally established paradigms of social justice. This timely book is essential reading for those interested in sociology and politics of migration, ethnic and racial studies, and social inequality and stratification.
