About the Book

A comprehensive and timely examination of the history and current status of immigrants and refugees—their stories, the events that led to their movement, and the place of these movements in contemporary history and politics. Immigration and Asylum: From 1900 to the Present is an accessible and up-to-date introduction to the key concepts, terms, personalities, and real-world issues associated with the surge of immigration from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. It focuses on the United States, but is also the first encyclopedic work on the subject that reflects a truly global perspective. With contributions from the world's foremost authorities on the subject, Immigration and Asylum offers nearly 200 entries organized around four themes: immigration and asylum; the major migrating groups around the world; expulsions and other forced population movements; and the politics of migration. In addition to basic entries, the work includes in-depth essays on important trends, events, and current conditions. There is no better resource for exploring just how profoundly the voluntary and forced movement of asylum seekers and refugees has transformed the world—and what that transformation means to us today.

Gibney, PhD, is Elizabeth Colson Lecturer in Forced Migration at the Refugee Studies Centre, Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford and Official Fellow of Linacre College, Oxford, England.

Review :
College-level reference libraries with strong holdings in social issues won't want to miss this superbly published, A to Z, three-volume encyclopedia. . . . An outstanding library reference for any college-level or public library strong in immigration history or social issues. Advanced students will find the set to be an exceptional collection of information about international immigration primarily in the 20th century to the present. Immigration and Asylum: From 1900 to the Present would make a useful addition to any reference collection. Scholarly but accessible to the lay reader, this set will find an audience in both academic and public libraries. ABC-CLIO's Immigration and Asylum goes a long way to remedying the lack of an international-based reference work on migration.
