London has long been a magnet for migrants, millions of whom have
been attracted by its economic, educational and cultural roles as a
truly global city. This book examines recent European migration to
the London region through the narrated experiences of a large
number of younger migrants from 'old' and 'new' EU member states,
of varying educational and skill backgrounds. The research opens
multiple windows into the lives of young EU migrants from six
different countries before and after the 2016 Referendum on
'Brexit'. A key concept which lies at the core of the analysis is
the interrelationship between geographical mobility and the youth
transition to adulthood. Among the dimensions documented are study
and employment trajectories, housing and social inclusion, identity
and belonging, and transnational ties. By paying attention to young
people's own accounts of their mobile lives, the research pushes
the boundaries of traditional understandings of youth transitions
and life paths. As an indispensable account of young EU migrants
during the Brexit process, the book will appeal to undergraduate
and postgraduate students across the social sciences, especially
those interested in migration, youth studies and European studies,
as well as researchers and policy-makers.
How do migration and integration change when 'crisis becomes
normalcy'? This open access book investigates this question in the
present context of turbulent times when, instead of dealing with
one crisis, migrants, governments and whole societies have to cope
within a complex web of multiple unsettling events that create
anxieties about migration. Emphasising a plurality of theoretical
perspectives and methodological approaches, as well as a variety of
geographical settings in Europe and beyond, the chapters bring new
insights into migrations produced by global political events,
national political shifts, economic downturns and the Covid-19
pandemic. Special attention is given to both migrants' experiences
and policy outcomes. The result is an impressive rethinking of the
concepts and terminology applied to migration and integration, of
interest to students, social scientists, and policy-makers.
