Immigration today evokes passionate debates over questions of national identity, state sovereignty, and citizenship. Even as capital, goods, and services flow easily over national boundaries, human beings are subjected to intense scrutiny and resistance when crossing borders. In this collection of essays, distinguished scholars probe the challenges and opportunities that global migration presents for individuals, states, and societies grappling with questions of identity, belonging, and citizenship. Multidisciplinary in scope, the book demonstrates how forced and voluntary migrations intersect with global politics, from economic and environmental crises to human rights and security.

In concert with a variety of material conditions -- uneven economic development, inequitable resource distribution, unrepresentative political institutions, & coercive state apparatuses -- competing visions of political identity have contributed to ethnic violence around the globe. To show why questions of economic & political power should not be analyzed apart from broader questions about national identity, the construction & articulation of national identity in Pakistan are analyzed. The historical evidence indicates that ill-conceived attempts to define & shape a homogeneous Pakistani identity have served, on the contrary, to reinforce multiple linguistic & cultural identities, to encourage political mobilization on the basis of ethnicity, & to increase the severity of ethnic conflict in Pakistan. Adapted from the source document.
