The Movement of Venezuelans to the Americas and the Caribbean in the 21st Century

Beschreibung

Citizens in the contemporary era are increasingly residing in an age of constant migration, however, not all migratory movements are fully understood as migrants are often excoriated on entry to host countries. It is therefore important to enhance our understanding of migration, especially from nations that were once touted as being all-conquering, powerful, and mighty, as is the case of Venezuela. The Movement of Venezuelans to the Americas and the Caribbean in the 21st Century places singular focus on the migration of Venezuelans into the Americas and smaller nation states of the Caribbean and offers a plethora of ontologies and insights into the phenomenon. This riveting and captivating book is written by experts in a range of disciplines, including, but not limited to, criminology and criminal justice, sociology, policing, national security studies, migration studies, and social work. Instructively, it is the transdisciplinary nature of the work that makes the booklimitless in nature and scope. The book makes a valuable contribution to academe as it plugs a lacuna in the literature on Venezuelan migration in the early 21st Century and enhances our understanding of the phenomenon. Edited by eminent Caribbean scholar, Dr. Wendell C. Wallace, The Movement of Venezuelans to the Americas and the Caribbean in the 21st Century is a must read for anthropologists, criminal justice practitioners, psychologists, political scientists, social workers, migration specialists as well as individuals who are interested in understanding the migration of Venezuelans in the first two decades of the 21st Century.

“Dr. Wallace has brought together a fascinating and insightful collection of essays focused on themes relating to the contemporary migration of Venezuelan nationals into the Americas and the Caribbean. The contributions to this edited collection come from a wide range of scholars, at different career stages and representing different disciplines but all exhibit high levels of scholarship. This book should be compulsory reading for students and politicians.” (Kevin Haines, Visiting Professor of Criminology, University of South Wales)

“What is a non-Western-focused Caribbean framework on immigrant integration? This book is a great example. While giving voice to Venezuelan migrants’ plight, it explores Caribbean host communities’ concerns, however uncomfortable to raise in international forums: fear of immigrant criminality, rising unemployment of low-skilled nationals, racial capital of Venezuelan migrants, exploitation of migrant women, and illegal border entries. An importantcontribution!” (Valerie Lacarte, Migration Policy Institute)
