The book addresses social relations arising from migration in different areas, as interacted with by the host community, particularly in the light of contradictions in transit means and the consequent official and other transit of migrants.

The book highlights the economic and social mobility and inequality of the migrant, which contributes to economic and cultural development according to selective temporary and diverse migrations, as migrations are a reflection of the image of the world and its changes.

According to the book, the number of migrants has doubled voluntarily or coercively and these migrants have been subjected to attempts to steal their minds. Some of them were expatriates, some were refugees and some were students.
