Editorial Reviews

Review

“This collection demonstrates the insight and rigour of Bommes’ fundamental contributions to immigration studies. It provides sharp, essential observations of social and political responses to immigration – to be read by anyone interested in these issues.” – Andrew Geddes, Professor of Politics, University of Sheffield “In Bommes, the academy lost a scholar with penetrating analyses of migration, the welfare state and social systems where the two interact. By completing his last project, Boswell and D’Amato have done scholarship a lasting service. A major contribution to public debate and a tribute to a very great man.” – Randall Hansen, Canada Research Chair in Immigration & Governance, University of Toronto
