In so doing, the authors also elaborate a path-breaking approach to the multiscalar, fluidly mutating geographies of migration and a new methodological strategy for spatialized ethnography and comparative migration studies. Migrants and City-Making is a major work of migration studies, urban studies, and sociospatial theory. -- Neil Brenner, author of * Critique of Urbanization * This is a book that needed to be written for our present Western moment with its surge of refugees. It joins a very few other texts that show how immigrants are a positive economic and social presence in our cities at a time when negative interpretations are on the rise. -- Saskia Sassen, author of * Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy * Ayse Calgar and Nina Glick Schiller make a timely and compelling case for migrants as 'city-makers.' Departing from commonly portrayed dichotomies between migrants and non-migrants, they situate, contextualize, and embed them into complex multi-scalar processes of urban regeneration. . . . Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. -- G. R. Innes * Choice * This is a book that needed to be written for our present Western moment with its surge of refugees.
