Migration, homeland, and belonging in Eurasia

"Migration, Homeland, and Belonging in Eurasia examines patterns of migration and sheds new light on government interests, migrant motivations, historical precedents, and community identities. The contributors come from a variety of disciplines: political science, sociology, history, and geography. The initial chapters offer overall assessments of contemporary migration debates in the region. The following chapters feature individual case studies that highlight continuity and change in migration debates in the imperial and the Soviet periods. Several chapters treat particular topics in Central Eurasia and the Far East, such as the movement of ethnic Kazakhs from Mongolia to Kazakhstan and the continuing attraction of migrants to Siberian cities that are believed to be economically unsupportable."--BOOK JACKET.
