Global Migration Beyond Limits

Ecology, Economics, and Political Economy

Global Migration beyond Limits provides a citique of mainstream economic accounts of migration, environment, and inequality. Obeng-Odoom argues that migration is an expression of an unequal political-economic system rather than principally driven by regional and environmental factors.
