Selecting by Origin

Explore the intricate dynamics of immigration and ethnicity in "Selecting by Origin" by Christian Joppke. Published by Harvard University Press in 2005, this insightful hardback delves into the complex relationship between nation-states and international migration, revealing how these states have historically chosen migrants based on their ethnic origins. With 344 pages of comprehensive analysis, Joppke argues that, particularly after World War II, Western nations have increasingly adopted non-discriminatory immigration policies, leading to profound shifts in societal structures. Suitable for readers interested in ethnic studies, sociology, and government policy, this book offers a critical examination of multiculturalism and nationalism in today’s ever-evolving landscape. Engage with Joppke’s compelling arguments and discover the implications of migration patterns on contemporary society.
