Recenzii
This illuminating book addresses an important but often overlooked consequence of international migration: remittances sent by immigrants to relatives in their countries of origin.
a must-read for anyone whowishes to understand better the trends and complexities of remittance receipt forindividuals,communities, and nations.
This highly teachable book can add important conversations to undergraduate and graduate courses on migration, the sociology of development, globalization, transnationalism, and the sociology of the family. The study's methodology is highly instructive for students interested in mixed methods and those who aim to work on projects with a macrostructural analysis of migrant money.
"In the present political climate, it is difficult not to read Roy Germanoâs book as a warning. With the rise in nationalistic rhetoric in some wealthy democracies focused on erecting barriers to migration, Outsourcing Welfare points to the serious harm that building walls may cause to people living in poorer states." -- Michael Tyburski, Perspectives on Politics
