Title: Recent Migrations to, and within the Americas
Commencing around 1960, two new waves of migration began in the
Americas. One from the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean to the USA,
Canada and Spain; the other, a more moderate but still significanttrend of
inter-regional migration within Latin America. What light do thesemovements of
people cast on the debates about migration? How far did they transform the
societies that exported and imported these new migrant waves?
