Although studies have been made of individual aspects of the
problem, this volume is the first to provide a comprehensive
overview of both the theoretical issues and the scope and variety
of present-day migratory movements in Europe, together with their
historical antecedents. In his introduction, Hans Buechler reviews
significant previous research and outlines the theoretical
framework of the present volume. The primary focus of the chapters
that follow is the experience of migrants and of household members
who remain at home, analyzed within the total context of migration
in both host and sender countries. The effects of migration on
family economy and kin relationships are examined in detail. Among
the issues explored are economic decision-making processes in
migrant households, the implications of migration for family
landholding, ties between migrants and family left behind, and kin,
friendship, and neighborhood networks. Other topics considered are
the working and social environment experienced by migrants; labor
policies and restrictions relating to employment, work permits, and
workers' families; and the problems connected with returning home.
The final section, a bibliographic essay by Judith-Maria Buechler,
helps to put the various individual contributions in a wider
perspective.
