Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan have spent the last decade searching for the facts. Their pioneering research digs deep into the data on immigration, linking the experiences of immigrants from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to those of immigrants today. Using powerful storytelling alongside big data, they provide new evidence about the past and present of the American Dream that will change our thinking and policies.

We are in a new era: authoritarian leaders have become a central feature of global politics. Since 2000, self-styled strongmen have risen to power in capitals as diverse as Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, Brasilia, Budapest, Ankara, Riyadh and Washington. These leaders are nationalists and social conservatives, with little tolerance for minorities, dissent or the interests of foreigners. At home, they claim to be standing up for ordinary people against globalist elites; abroad, they posture as the embodiments of their nations.

This Very Short Introduction covers a broad range of issues around the causes and impact of the contemporary refugee crisis for both receiving states and societies, for global order, and for refugees and other forced migrants themselves.

The global race for talent is on, with countries and businesses competing for the best and brightest. Talented individuals migrate much more frequently than the general population, and the US has received exceptional inflows of human capital. This foreign talent has transformed US science and engineering and reshaped the economy. But America is bogged down in thorny debates on immigration policy, and the world around the United States is rapidly catching up, especially China and India. The future is quite uncertain, and the global talent puzzle deserves close examination.

Caminantes del Sur no es solo un libro. Es un susurro que nace en la selva, un lamento entre fronteras, una oración escrita con los pies de quienes lo dejaron todo por la esperanza. Es la voz de los que cruzaron el mundo sin más equipaje que su fe, sus cicatrices y el amor por los que dejaron atrás. Aquí no encontrarás cifras ni discursos vacíos. Encontraras vidas. Vidas reales. Un niño atravesando el Darién sin entender por qué duerme sobre el lodo. Una madre que da a luz en medio del barro y el miedo. Un joven marcado por un tatuaje que no habla de crimen, sino de pasión.

Nederland presenteert zich graag als gastvrij en tolerant land, maar hoe wordt daar door nieuwkomers over gedacht? In deze reeks vertellen Nederlanders en niet-Nederlanders over hun ervaringen als migrant; over cultuurverschillen, integratie, misverstanden, geluk, familie en de liefde.

New Yorker journalist Jonathan Blitzer has been covering the immigration crisis at America’s southern border for nearly a decade, but the current emergency is the end of a much larger story. In this, his first book, Blitzer goes back to the beginning: to the shadowy civil wars in El Salvador and Guatemala in the 1980s; to the American prison system in the 1990s and the policies of mass deportation that transformed local street criminals into international crime syndicates.

In The Snakehead, Patrick Radden Keefe reveals the inner workings of Cheng Chui Ping aka Sister Ping’s complex empire and recounts the decade-long FBI investigation that eventually brought her down.

An eye-opening examination into a chilling paradox: our hunger for security—from border walls to video doorbells—is making us less safe and weakening democracies worldwide, for fans of Naomi Klein and Shoshana Zuboff.

With the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, Chinese laborers became the first group in American history to be excluded from the United States on the basis of their race and class. This landmark law changed the course of US immigration history, but we know little about its consequences for the Chinese in America or for the United States as a nation of immigrants. At America's Gates is the first book devoted entirely to both Chinese immigrants and the American immigration officials who sought to keep them out.

Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was on DACA when she decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name.
