- Title
Long Day's Journey into Night: One Person's Reflections on International Migration.
- Authors
Massey, Douglas
- Abstract
The article reflects on Abdelmalik Sayed's study on Algerian immigrants and immigration from Algeria in the book "La double absence: Des illusions de l' émigré aux souffrances de l'immigré. Sayed's sociology derives almost exclusively from the work of Pierre Bourdieu and draws heavily on his concepts of habitus, social field, social capital, cultural capital, and reflexivity. Readers would do well to familiarize themselves with these terms and the basic ideas of Bourdieu's sociology before wading into the book. The book's central argument is that international migration necessarily involves a double absence and a double deception on the part of both immigrants and the countries that send and receive them.
