Reviews
‘Whether named colonialism, neocolonialism or globalization, imperialism still organizes much of the world economy. This book systematically locates labour migration within the capitalist imperialism that overdetermines it . . . thereby adding an overdue critical perspective to the study of labour migration.’ Richard D. Wolff, The New School, New York ‘In this insightful critique of the migration‒development nexus, Ness argues for rethinking migration as a benefit to sending countries. Through a global economic imperialism lens, he proposes that labor migration is one more peg in the extractive history of wealthy countries, further disempowering poorer sending countries. This meaningful intervention in debates about labour migration will be of great interest and will be read widely.’ Cecilia Menjívar, University of California, Los Angeles

His latest release […] shows that there is an urgent need to tie [migration and imperialism] together.’ LeftTwoThree
