Southern Europe and the New Immigrations (Hardcover)

This study on immigration in Southern Europe provides geographical coverage of Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece, coupled with discussion across a wide range of migrant groups, processes and issues.;Within the space of a few years, Southern Europe has moved from being an area of mass emigration to one of substantial immigration. The reasons for this transformation include: ease of entry compared with entering other EU countries; geographical proximity to important source and transit countries; cultural linkages; the rising overall economic prosperity of Southern Europe since the 1960s; and the unregulated and informal nature of its labour markets, allowing immigrants to find work easily.;Migration has had important effects on labour markets, as well as calling into question identities and public policies. These issues are explored from a comparative dimension and in the context of current theoretical debates.;Russell King is the author of "Mass Migrations in Europe", "The New Geography of European Migrations" and "Writing Across Worlds: Literature and Migration". Richard Black is the author of "Georgraphy and Refugees: Patterns and Processes of Change", "Rural Europe: Identity and Change" (with K. Hoggart and H. Buller) and "Crisis and Change in Rural Europe".
