| Summary: | Human mobility is a process with deep historical roots that forms part of a complex web of cultural, social, economic, and environmental factors. Despite this long history, the widespread notion of a “migration crisis” characterized by massive and uncontrolled flows has framed the issue as a polarizing political, academic, and media issue in the migration debate. In Los mitos de la inmigración: 22 falsos mantras sobre el tema que más nos divide, De Haas draws attention to the importance of a scientific and holistic approach to migration, leaving aside political interests and ideological positions. This enables an understanding of its nature and causes, and takes the debate beyond biased and simplistic opinions.
