"Despite the breathless attention focused on how immigrants affect countries of destination, their influence on countries of origin is often more profound. Susan Eva Eckstein and Adil Najam offer a welcome corrective to this one-sidedness and move beyond the clichéd notions of both left and right. Drawing on work by the world's leading scholars of immigration, they reveal international migration to be neither a panacea nor a curse, but a basic component of globalization that can be turned to good or ill depending on decisions taken in sending and receiving nations and the actions of immigrants themselves. This collection is essential reading for those wishing to move beyond ideology and develop a fuller understanding of the place of international migration in the world today."—Douglas S. Massey, Henry G. Bryant Professor of Sociology and Public Affairs, Princeton University

"In a welcome look at the flip side of immigration, How Immigrants Impact Their Homelands shows how emigration is not as simple as it looks. This book is an important reminder that economic and cultural remittances affect the home country for better or for worse, from needed investments to new models of behavior—mimicked or mocked—to AIDS."—Nancy L. Green, coeditor of Citizenship and Those Who Leave: The Politics of Emigration and Expatriation
