Summary

Immigration has been predominantly analyzed from its facet of poorly paid manual labor. Yet, there are other flows of emigrants who establish themselves in other countries, temporarily or permanently, in more favorable economic conditions. Migration of Rich Immigrants addresses these kinds of migratory paths with an emphasis on analyses that reflect how gender, class, age, sexual orientation, and ethnicity influence these processes.
