'The Turbulence of Migration is an exciting and comprehensive rendition of the role and impact of migration in contemporary societies. Drawing on a range of theories and disciplines, it unpacks existing accounts of migration processes and suggests new ways of looking at the range of phenomena that make up the endless motion of migration that shapes our everyday experiences. Nikos Papastergiadis reveals himself to be one of the most important scholars in this field.' John Solomos, South Bank University, London

'This volume is important for two reasons. First, it challenges the social sciences to adopt a more functional and dynamic view of culture and the social such that difference and culture are incorporated outside of traditional bounded unit classifications. Second, the author has presented a coherent argument for understanding migration as a process that stems from global turbulence in politics, economics and social relations. This volume would make an excellent addition to upper-year undergraduate and gradute papers in disciplines such as sociology, anthropology and geography.'
