Extract from review by Wazha G. Morapedi (University of Gaborone) in Journal of Contemporary African Studies 2008 26:3 pp.353-354:

"This voluminous book makes a significant contribution to the study of migration. It explores and analyses areas normally neglected in migration studies - issues such as health and migration, why some people do not migrate, the characteristics of different migrants, the gender dimension, and the role of social networks in migration."

Emeritus Professor Wade Pendleton, Cape Town

"The synthesis and summary of migration literature, and its reports on recent empirical research, make this a very important contribution to the literature on migration."
