The Next Great Migration: The Beauty and Terror of Life on the Move
Sonia Shah (Author)
“A fascinating study [that] debunks false narratives about immigration and finds that, in common with other species, the urge to move is written in our genes … That literature of track and trace, part detective story, part reportage, took Shah to remote corners of the world and to distant grid references of history … This book-a wandering narrative about why people wander-is likely to prove equally prophetic in the coming months and years, since it asks two questions that are already shaping our geopolitics: what causes human beings to migrate? And is such mass movement beneficial to more settled communities and nations?” –The Guardian
