Dr. Prem C. Saxena is the Garware Chair Professor at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai, India. Prior to this appointment, he was Professor and Chairman at the Department of Population Studies, Faculty of Health Sciences, American University of Beirut (AUB), Lebanon. He has published more than 100 research papers in peer-reviewed journals and a large number of book chapters on migration, reproductive health, and other topics.
The first volume of the migration and the Arab World series dealt primarily with the trends in, consequences of, and policy responses to labor migration in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states since the “oil boom” period of the 1970s. This volume focuses on the countries of the Mashreq (i.e., Egypt and the Levant) as source and destination countries for various migrant groups, dating from the late 19th century up to the present day.
