    "It is rare for an edited collection to cohere from cover to cover. Readers will find a great diversity of voices challenging canonical discourses on assimilation, immigrant incorporation, and identity formation, all in one volume. The research reported in Caribbean Migration would have required an in-depth, multi-sited, multi-lingual, mixed-method comparative study. Scholars of migration will be grateful the three editors decided instead to compile these essays into a well-organized, interdisciplinary volume."
