Anthology of Migration and Social Transformation

“This collection provides an impressive and insightful account that cuts across the societal, regional and international levels to show how migration both shapes and is shaped by key social transformations in Europe.” Andrew Geddes Department of Politics, University of Sheffield“This is a much needed handbook that ties the booming research on migration in Europe to wider issues of societal transformation. It is a truly needed contribution to our effort of disentangling complex phenomena such as European integration, globalisation, migration and mobility.”Anna TriandafyllidouRobert Schuman Chair, European University Institute, Florence“This anthology reveals how deep social forces beneath the headlines are reshaping migration in Europe. As policymakers, migrants, and natives attempt to control these transformations, they generate further changes that reverberate across the continent.”  David Scott FitzGeraldCo-Director, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, University of California, San Diego
