Reviews

“Migrants As Agents of Change makes a significant contribution to the existing theoretical, methodological and empirical literature on social remittances. … this is a very imaginative and scholarly book, which makes a substantial theoretical and empirical contribution to existing migration scholarship, and deserves to be widely read.” (Anne White, Central and Eastern European Migration Review, Vol. 5 (2), 2016)
