This book Migration, remittances and development in times of crisis is a new contribution by the anthropologist Teófilo Altamirano to the understanding of migration, internal and external, and the challenges and opportunities this offers in our increasingly globalised society. The author places the migrant and local and transnational networks at the centre of his analysis and discussion, and analyses the role of remittances and how these can be economic agents in local development, and examines them in the light of the challenges posed by the current economic crisis.
