International Migration: A Very Short Introduction

This very short introduction does exactly what it says it does: it gives a broad overview of the facts, controversies, and discourse surrounding international migration. Previous to reading this, I was only familiar with US-Mexico Migration because of my research area. This broadened my view of migration and put my research in an international perspective. I found it easy to read and informative, even if not altogether original. I won't fault it for lack of originality - that's not what this series is known for. It's just there to give people introductions, which this book does well.
