The book is a nice read for the scholars in diaspora studies and social reforms." - Anup Kumar Das in Diaspora Studies

Immigration in Singapore
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
This study traces the socio-political effects of immigration on Singapore and its population, a topic that has been the subject of intense debate in the nation as its population grows increasingly diverse. Beyond the logic of economic imperatives, the book aims to explore the larger consequences of taking in large number of immigrants, and its analysis should appeal to scholars of migration, social change, and public policy.
