| Résumé : |
"Are our borders beyond control? Are immigrants taking jobs away from local workers? Or do we badly need immigrants to boost economic growth and innovation? As debates on migration have reached fever pitch, so have political and media fearmongering, but what are the facts behind the headlines?
In this groundbreaking and revelatory book based on three decades of research, Professor Hein de Haas explodes myths from left to right that politicians, interest groups and media often spread about migration. Draining the vitriol from a debate that has poisoned politics for decades, de Haas shows us that global migration is not at an all-time high; climate change will not lead to mass migration; immigration mainly benefits the wealthy, not workers; and border restrictions have paradoxically produced more migration. Comparing trends and perspectives from Western 'destination countries' (the United Kingdom, United States and in Europe) as well as origin countries' in Asia, Africa and Latin America, de Haas equips readers with essential knowledge on migration based on the best evidence and data, showing migration not as a problem to be solved, nor as a solution to a problem, but as it really is. Above all, How Migration Really Works offers a new vision of migration based on facts rather than fears and a paradigm-altering understanding of this perennially important subject." |
