Description: This book adds a wealth of new data on the political significance of inter-American migration, through case studies of the politics of population flows from Cuba, Central America, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. This theme has received only preliminary attention fully ten years after the Mariel boat-lift from Cuba. The contributing scholars bolster an emerging trend in the broad study of international population movements, emphasizing the effect of government policies on migration and challenging the notion that migration is a social process quite insulated from the effects of public policy.
