Migrations and Cultures

Migrations and Cultures: A World View by Thomas Sowell

A discussion of migration and its effects and consequences. Chain migration, where the first migrants pay for those who follow. Studying sojourners who come to make their fortune and go home, and settlers -- complicated by the way neither membership is fixed.

In depth discussions of the Germans, Japanese, Italians, Chinese, Jews, and Indians. Patterns that are common, things that vary, effects that cause variation. And more.
