Immigration and Settlement: Challenges, Experiences, and Opportunities draws on a selection of papers that were presented at the international Migration and the Global City conference at Ryerson University, Toronto, in October of 2010. Through the use of international and Canadian perspectives, this book examines the contemporary challenges, experiences, and opportunities of immigration and settlement in global, Canadian, and Torontonian contexts.
In seventeen comprehensive chapters, this text approaches immigration and settlement from various thematic angles, including: rights, state, and citizenship; immigrants as labour; communities and identities; housing and residential contexts; and emerging opportunities. Immigration and Settlement will be of interest to academics, researchers and students, policy-makers, NGOs and settlement practitioners, and activists and community organizers.

Harald Bauder is the Academic Director of the Ryerson Centre of Immigration and Settlement (RCIS) and Professor in Immigration and Settlement Studies (ISS) and Geography at Ryerson University.

"I like the diversity of dimensions that [this text] brings to the issue of settlement...I think that the focus on the local is important, as settlement issues tend to be very locally driven."— “Chris Anderson, Wilfrid Laurier University
