Intersections of Inequality, Migration and Diversification

This book examines the relationship between migration, diversification and inequality in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The authors advance a view of migration as a diversifying force, arguing that it is necessary to grapple with the intersection of group identities, state policy and economic opportunities as part of the formation of inequalities that have deep historical legacies and substantial future implications. Exploring evidence for inequality amongst migrant populations, the book also addresses the role of multicultural politics and migration policy in entrenching inequalities, and the consequences of migrant inequalities for political participation, youth development and urban life.

Argues that our policy positions on migration, diversity and inequality are necessarily interlinked and fundamental to the making of 21st century societies Offers a unique perspective that focuses on the case of New Zealand which has one of the highest levels of net migration and growth in income inequality Targets researchers and academics focusing on migration, diversity and inequality as well as globalization and Asian studies although accessible to the wider public
