Book description
Due to shifting demographic trends and the increased need for workers, immigration continues to grow in many parts of the world. However, the increased diversity that immigration creates within societies is also associated with intergroup friction, perceived threat, and the rise of extremist right-wing nationalist movements, making it a central political issue that impacts societies globally. This book presents a psychological explanation of the immigration challenge in the 21st century and the ongoing backlash against immigrants by examining within nations and beyond national borders. It explains the relationship between immigration and national identity through an analysis of the intersection of globalization, deglobalization, and collective behavior. Addressing a crucial gap in existing literature, it applies a psychological perspective on immigration and offers new solutions to address the complex challenges facing minorities, asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, and host society members.
Reviews
‘Through a psychological lens, The New Immigration Challenge offers a global consideration of the mass movement of people across border and boundaries. Exploring national backlash, multiple identities, and implications for intergroup relations, this book offers an excellent introductory text for readers interested in diversity and commonality in a globalised world.'
Laura K. Taylor - Associate Professor, School of Psychology, University College Dublin, Ireland
