Reviews
New Immigration Destinations is a timely book that provides a new epistemological framework and theoretical lens for understanding social exclusion among transnational migrants. Ruth McAreavey, the consummate ethnographer, refocuses our attention on rural and small town destinations as neglected settings for immigrant reception and incorporation. She highlights the lived experiences of immigrants in peripheral areas of Northern Ireland, but provides compelling lessons and a template for research across Europe and rural areas in North America and Oceania. Daniel T. Lichter is the Ferris Family professor in the Department of Policy Analysis and Management, Professor of Sociology, and the Robert S. Harrison Director of Cornell's Institute for the Social Sciences, USA This timely and engaging book is an invaluable resource for migration researchers. Its focus is migrant experiences in Northern Ireland, a New Immigrant Destination, but its significance is much broader. This is required reading for anyone interested in migration research that is theoretically insightful, rich in empirical detail, and ethically informed. Mary Gilmartin, Professor of Geography, Maynooth University, Ireland Northern Ireland, at the UK's periphery, and a post-conflict society, is an intriguing, and unlikely destination for international migration. Based on seven years of intensive field work, McAreavy documents migration to Northern Ireland, and examines the localized ways in which migrant incorporation occurs and the challenges that arise for migrants themselves and their new communities. By focusing on migrants' everyday experiences, the book examines various zones of inclusion and exclusion including the labor market, workplace, community, and civil society. This innovative case study is indispensable reading for scholars of migration in today's globally integrated world. David Brown, Professor of Development Sociology, Cornell U
