Blurb

• A history of migration to, from and within Europe over a range of eras, countries and migration types.
• Examines the driving forces and currents of migration, their effects on the cultures of both migrants and host populations, including migration policies.
• Focuses on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly the period from the Second World War to the present.
• Illuminates concerns about migration in Europe today.
• Acts as a corrective to the alarmist reactions of host populations in twenty-first century Europe.
