"This is a very ambitious work that tries to put into perspective the various moving parts of a very complex phenomenon and one of the few that documents not just the causes of migration, the journey itself and what happens to immigrants in their new destination. This broader approach is very much welcomed and sure to be quite useful in the classroom." -- Luis F. Jimenez, University of Massachusetts Boston
