The History of Migration in Europe belies several myths by arguing,
for example, that immobility has not been the "normal" condition of
people before the modern era. Migration (far from being an
income-maximizing choice taken by lone individuals) is often a
household strategy, and local wages benefit from migration. This
book shows how ssuccesses arise when governments liberalize and
accompany the international movements of people with appropriate
legislation, while failures take place when the legislation enacted
is insufficient, belated or ill shaped. Part I of this book
addresses mainly methodological issues. Past and present migration
is basically defined as a cross-cultural movement; cultural
boundaries need prolonged residence and active integrationist
policies to allow cross-fertilization of cultures among migrants
and non-migrants. Part II collects chapters that examine the role
of public bodies with reference to migratory movements, depicting a
series of successes and failures in the migration policies through
examples drawn from the European Union or single countries. Part
III deals with challenges immigrants face once they have settled in
their new countries: Do immigrants seek "integration" in their host
culture? Through which channels is such integration achieved, and
what roles are played by citizenship and political participation?
What is the "identity" of migrants and their children born in the
host countries? This text's originality stems from the fact that it
explains the complex nature of migratory movements by incorporating
a variety of perspectives and using a multi-disciplinary approach,
including economic, political and sociological contributions.
