'This is without doubt one of the most thought-provoking books on international migration to be published in recent years … The theorizing contained in this book is made all the more interesting because it is accompanied by much empirical detail.' Environment and Planning

'This book probes an interesting set of problems and, by challenging conventional ideas, will stimulate further research.' Journal of Economic History

'In a major contribution, Sassen uses a detailed case study of US economic evolution, 1960–1985, to illustrate the integral links between investment flows, both foreign and domestic, and the influx of migrant labor … The richest recent case study …' World Development

'… quite simply the most important writing being produced by any scholar in the US today on the subject of the 'new immigration''. Professor Bennett Harrison, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
