Summary

"Nina Glick Schiller and Georges Eugene Fouron do a masterful job of describing the full spectrum of factors shaping the experience of migration, ranging from utopian dreams of the home country to the hard reality that some states are only apparent states. This is a work of inspired ethnographic research, stunning scholarship, and creative grace and energy."--Karen McCarthy Brown, author of "Mama Lola: A Vodou Priestess in Brooklyn"
