Rezensionen

This fascinating study debunks false narratives about immigration and finds that, in common with other species, the urge to move is written in our genes . . . This book - a wandering narrative about why people wander - is likely to prove equally prophetic in the coming months and years, since it asks two questions that are already shaping our geopolitics: what causes human beings to migrate? And is such mass movement beneficial to more settled communities and nations? Book of the Week Observer
