- Synopsis
- Poros (sociology, City College of New York) employs the microcosm of the Gujarati Indian immigrant to illustrate the role of social networks in the international migration process, and to bolster her thesis that a relational analysis can expand the scope of migration studies beyond the effects of states and institutions to more and varied types of networks. Writing for those with some familiarity with the topic, she considers factors such as trade and capitalism, religion, education, philanthropy, caste, and labor markets, describing historical Gujarati migration patterns and using individual contemporary stories to demonstrate the social and economic causes and effects of this process. Poros further explores the idea that a relational approach can bring a greater practical understanding to current immigration debates taking place in the US and the UK.
