Critical Perspectives on Immigrants and Refugees

As civil conflict and increasingly dire economic situations spread across areas of the globe, immigrants and refugees have left their homes in countries such as Afghanistan, Mexico, Guatemala, Syria, and Somalia in search of a better future for themselves and their children. Their often-dangerous plights have received much media attention and have led to increased calls for international humanitarian aid-and, in some cases, for increased border control. This book contains opinions and data from experts, politicians, the legal community, advocacy groups the media and even ordinary people, allowing students to analyze and evaluate the topic from all sides and form their own conclusions.
