Hardback. Using Dominicans in New York City as a case study, Ramona Hernandez challenges the old belief that workers necessarily migrate from one region to another because of supply and demand or because of a de facto government policy to make people leave or stay. As a result, she shows that the traditional correlation between migration and economic progress does not always hold true. Num Pages: 200 pages, 10 figures.
