Summary

Migration is in the news every day. Whether it be the plight of refugees fleeing Syria, or the outbreak of Zika virus across Latin America, the modern world is fundamentally shaped by movement across borders. This volume brings together eight leading scholars from the arts, humanities, and sciences to help tackle one of the most important topics of our time. What is migration? How has it changed the world? And what does it hold for the future? The present authors approach these questions from a variety of perspectives, including history, politics, epidemiology, and art.
