Sabith Khan and Daisha M Merritt explore the distinct socio-economic aspects of migration and remittance by using two case studies: the migration corridors between Saudi Arabia and India, and between the United States and Mexico. In their book titled Remittances and International Development: The Invisible Forces Shaping Community, the authors highlight the evolution of individual migration to the institutionalisation of philanthropy through the diaspora. Remittance is shaping modern societies silently, from changing social phenomena to governments’ sustainable development agendas in Asia and America. The book will be of great interest to both academicians and policymakers in understanding the various aspects of migration and remittance, including from a soft-power lens.
