Literature Review Migration itself refers to the movement and relocation of people. However, this review will specifically focus on other researches on external migration which is recognized as global migration referring to the movement and settling of people into another country other than their origin countries (Hanlon & Vicino, 2014) . Its aspects and issues are covered by numerous researchers, concerning the present day period, and a bit of reflection on its history. The term ‘global migration’ is acknowledged to involve the relocating of nationals of one nation to another, increasing the effects onto families, social and economic growth for a country as well as its developments (Jackson, 2010). Thorough examinations of any historical era showcases a consistent tendency towards the geographic mobility among various persons, who are driven to relocate by diverse motives, but mostly with some idea of improvement (Massey, Arango, Hugo, Kouaouci, Pellegrino, & Taylor, 1999). Migration has been an important feature as an advantage to the economy and the history of the West Indies. Earlier in this century, West Indians migrated in large amounts to help in the building of the Panama Canal (Palmer, 1974). However, migration had stopped shortly after the World War I had outraged, yet …show more content…

Efforts at theoretical explanation have been ranged between numerous theories.

  • Migration On Ice: How Globalization Kills For Their Parts

    589 Words  | 2 Pages

    Chicken is one of the most widely eaten foods around the globe, having the ability to unite many cultures together on an individual level. In Malia Wollan’s article “Migration, on Ice: How Globalization Kills Chickens for Their Parts” she informs the readers about the issue of globalization in the chicken industry and how it has begun to affect countries around the world. Companies from around the globe are exporting poultry into other countries—usually lower priced than the local market—and capitalizing on the wealth of other nations. Wollan explains that companies like Tyson are capitalizing on the chicken preferences of other countries, parting out the desired chicken pieces and sending them overseas, affecting local poultry industries. Specifically, Wollan talks about the African nation of Ghana, whose local chicken industry has been ravaged by cheaper chicken shipped from across the Atlantic Ocean. Moreover, companies have launched advertising campaigns targeted at women and mothers,

  • The Great Migration: A history of Movement

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    African-American history in the Twentieth Century is best summarized by both the Civil Rights Movement, and the lesser known Great Migration, in which a large number of them made a move north, west, or overseas, between the years of 1910 and 1940. The broadest reason for this movement is the Jim Crow laws of the south, in which many of the regulations that were harmful towards those parties, whom were already affected by the institution of slavery within recent memory, were instituted. However, this is far from the only cause, of which there are many that span a wide range of reasons: the WWI economic boom, geographic mobility, and the racial antagonism faced on a widespread basis. The actual migration of African-Americans themselves is nothing new, as Sarah-Jane Mathieu notes in her work on the subject, “Movement has always characterized the African-American experience.”1 Whether it be the willful movement to the north for obtaining rights, or the plunder of these people from their homes, African-American Heritage is one of migration.

    Migration has never been a one-way process of assimilation into a melting pot or a multicultural salad bowl, but one in which migrants, to varying degrees, are simultaneously embedded in the multiple sites and layers of the transnational social fields in which they live. This is also not a new phenomenon, but has shown signs of intensification in recent years due to globalization which allowed it to develop more easily than previously due to advancements in technology and

    Lyons (2006) suggests that globalisation creates push and pull factors. Pull factors may include the recruitment drive of highly skilled migrants to developed countries, in return for better pay and working conditions.
