Through an analysis of Chinese migration to Europe, this volume
examines the most pressing migration and integration issues facing
many societies today, from the political and policy-based
challenges of managing increasingly diverse communities, to
individual lived experiences of identity and belonging. In addition
to chapters on the UK, France and Italy, the book spotlights one of
the most extraordinary examples of Chinese migration to Europe:
that provided by the city of Prato, just 20km from Florence in
Tuscany, Italy. Renowned for its historic textile industry, Prato
is now home to one of the largest populations of Chinese residents
in Europe, a phenomenon that is remarkable not only for its
magnitude but also for the speed with which it has developed. This
edited collection, which brings together twenty-seven separate
contributors, deepens our understanding of the case of Prato within
the context of Chinese migration to the new Europe.
