  Knowledge, Power, and Migration

  Contesting the North/South Divide

  Yasmeen Abu-Laban (Editor), Mireille Paquet (Editor), Ethel Tungohan (Editor)

  This book challenges global inequalities in immigration research – academics from the Global North and wealthier countries produce most of it, while research from Global South scholars is largely dismissed – by assembling researchers from across the divide to generate important findings for policy makers, immigrant-serving organizations, and migrant advocates.
