This focused case study analyses the roots of super-diversity in a
place where immigration is an emerging phenomenon, Northwestern
Spain (Galicia). It is characterized by a mostly rural population,
an aging demographic, and a historically depressed economy. Yet the
region has recently experienced a significant increase in
immigration - a reversal of the region's historically pronounced
trend of emigration. To understand immigration in its early stages,
this book takes a historical approach that focuses on diversities
that go beyond nationality. It explores local yet international
phenomena such as different patterns of return migration,
transnational community and familial relationships, and niche
labour markets. The book takes a broad interdisciplinary
perspective, drawing on sociology, anthropology, history,
sociolinguistics, literature, and education, to provide a detailed
case study analysis. While the case is specific, many other
geographic regions will share some of the factors the book
explores. Understanding how these factors interact will provide a
useful point of contrast for analysing them in a range of other
international contexts.
