@article{Lopez-Garza_2010, place={Washington DC: American Sociological Association.}, title={WORLD MIGRATION}, url={https://trails.asanet.org/article/view/world-migration}, abstractNote={While this course includes the historic and global nature of migration, we focus primarily on contemporary migration to Southern California, one of the most diverse regions in the world. This course concentrates on the many immigrant populations which now reside in Southern California. While modern immigration is linked to technological development and transnational capitalism, human travel across international border is the most misunderstood component of present-day globalization. That is, whereas the movement of capital, commerce, ideas and culture flow freely from one nation/state to another, immigrants are often mistreated and discriminated against. The goal for this course is that the students come to understand the complexity of this migration phenomenon (of which we are all a part) and its role in the global economy. }, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Lopez-Garza, Marta}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
