Global Apartheid examines the impact of postindustrialism, postmodernism, and globalization on international migration, racial conflict, and ethnic nationalism.Throughout the developing world, there are mass movements of population from rural to urban areas, driven by overpopulation and poverty. Refugees are a growing element in the population movements associated with the new world order that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. Superpowerconfrontations in Africa, Central America, the Middle East, and Asia have led to population displacement across international borders. In addition, millions have been displaced within their own countries because of civil wars, ethnic conflicts, or environmental disasters.In response to increasing numbers of immigrants and refugees, the wealthy countries of North America, Europe, and Australasia have instituted repressive and restrictive policies to restrain the number of migrant workers and refugees from developing countries, whom they perceive as threats to theirterritorial integrity and privileged lifestyles. The result is a form of global apartheid.This book is about these radical demographic and sociological changes in the world system. Canada's response to the crisis is compared with that of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, and other countries. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
