Either there was trouble in the home country, such as political unrest or famine, that pushed people out, or there was a general yearning for \"a better life\" or \"more opportunity,\" often conceptualized as the American Dream. \u003cbr\u003e Although many contemporary migrants in the United States have been driven by economic interests, the processes of immigration and integration are shaped also by the intersection of a range of noneconomic factors in both sending and receiving countries. The contributors to \u003ci\u003eBeyond Economic Migration\u003c\/i\u003e offer a nuanced look at a range of issues affecting motives to migrate and outcomes of integration, including US immigration policy and the visa system, labor market incorporation, employment precarity, identity and belonging, and transnationalism relating to female migrants, student migrants, and temporary foreign workers. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBeyond Economic Migration\u003c\/i\u003e argues that, for the dream of fair and equitable migration to be realized, analyses of cross-border movements, resettlement, and integration must pay attention to how migrants' individual attributes interact with institutional mechanisms and social processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52591082864920,"sku":"9781479818532","price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/beyond-economic-migration-social-historical-and-political-factors-in-us-immigration-hardback-9781479818532","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
