Migration as Economic Imperialism: How International Labour Mobility Undermines Economic Development in Poor Countries

Are you aware of the unseen consequences of international labour migration? Look no further than "Migration as Economic Imperialism: How International Labour Mobility Undermines Economic Development in Poor Countries." This groundbreaking book by Immanuel Ness challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding migration and its impact on economic development. Through a meticulous analysis of economic and social evidence, Ness exposes the hidden truth behind the touted benefits of remittances, arguing that they actually deepen economic exploitation and exacerbate inequality between poor and rich societies.

Don't be fooled by the promises of national development through remittances. "Migration as Economic Imperialism" reveals how migrant workers become pawns in a global game of economic domination. They are controlled and marginalized by border and security mechanisms, especially vulnerable groups such as women and youth. Rather than bringing genuine growth to poor countries, remittances perpetuate dependence on the export of migrant labor, further distorting development on the global periphery.

This eye-opening take on migration and development is a must-read for students and scholars across the social sciences. Immanuel Ness provides valuable insights into the damaging political, economic, and social effects of labor migration from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. By shedding light on the hidden realities, this book challenges the prevailing narratives and offers a path to a more equitable and just future.
