Book Review: Izabela Grabowska, Michał P. Garapich, Ewa Jaźwińska, Agnieszka Radziwinowiczówna (2016), Migrants As Agents of Change. Social Remittances in an Enlarged European Union
Journal Title: Central and Eastern European Migration Review - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Migrants As Agents of Change makes a significant contribution to the existing theoretical, methodological and empirical literature on social remittances. Several international conferences and workshops on social remittances have taken place in recent years, and this is currently one of the most fruitful areas of migration research. The conferences have been particularly exciting because they brought together researchers working on sending and receiving countries, or on both, as in the case of Migrants As Agents of Change. This is a welcome development in view of the frequent separation between the two halves of migration studies.
