Migration, Globalization, and Ethnic Relations: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Mohsen M. Mobasher, published by Pearson Prentice Hall in 2004, is a comprehensive collection of essays that explores significant developments in immigration studies. This edition, comprising 417 pages, presents various theoretical frameworks regarding the adaptation and incorporation of immigrants, ranging from classic assimilation theories to contemporary concepts such as ethnic economies and enclaves.

This interdisciplinary approach is particularly relevant for sociologists, anthropologists, urban researchers, and others engaged in the study of emigration, immigration, and ethnic relations.
