Abstract
"This paper analyses trends in migration to oil-rich and other labour-receiving countries in the Middle East. Patterns of migrant employment in the host countries will serve as indicators of the extent to which a “racialization” of particular occupational and industry sectors has devel-oped. The paper will examine causes, patterns and cases of discriminatory or xenophobic prac-tices by employers, civil society and the state. Formal redress mechanisms and non-state assis-tance will be examined to determine the extent to which local problems that migrants face can be, and are, addressed. Finally, policy suggestions are offered for improving relations between migrants and host communities, employers, recruitment agencies and governments."(pg iii)
