HOW MIGRATION REALLY WORKS The Facts About the Most Divisive Issue in Politics

This timely audiobook on migration translates extremely well to audio due to its straightforward organization and clear summaries of statistical material. Matthew Spencer's measured pacing and professorial tone are well suited to represent the author, a Dutch sociologist who is director of Oxford University's International Migration Institute. The audiobook begins with precise definitions of the field's terminology--explaining the difference between migrants and refugees, and between human trafficking and smuggling, for example. Subsequent chapters begin with the narrator stating a myth about migration, followed by research data and expertly crafted analysis that propel listeners beyond the simplistic framework of most political debates on immigration. Both voters and politicians will greatly benefit from listening to this prescient audiobook. J.T. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2024]
