Foreigners : The Psychology, Biology, Politics and Ecology of Immigration

Omtale

This book delves deep into the mechanics of the phenomenon of immigration. It looks at all the different categories of populations that move out of their homeland for a variety of reasons –- refugees and asylum seekers, displaced populations, and economic immigrants. The book carries out a deconstruction of human immigration at a molecular level, approaching from a wider multitude of epistemological positions, examining through different lenses, including the evolutionary, spiritual, psychological, economic, and political perspectives. Finally, it endeavours to develop a unified theory of immigration with short- and long-term real-world implications of immigration at an expansive global and far-reaching temporal scale. The volume will be useful for students and researchers of migration, diaspora, psychology, sociology, mental health, public health, and public policy.
