This book reminds us of Europe's multi-faceted history of
expulsions, flight, and labour migration and the extent to which
European history since 1945 is a history of migration. While
immigration and ethnic plurality have often been divisive issues,
encounters between Europeans and newcomers have also played an
important part in the development of a European identity. The
authors analyze questions of individual and collective identities,
political responses to migration, and the way in which migrants and
migratory movements have been represented, both by migrants
themselves and their respective host societies. The book's
distinctive multi-disciplinary and international approach brings
together experts from several fields including history, sociology,
anthropology and political science. 'European Encounters' will
serve as an invaluable tool for students of contemporary European
history, migration, and ethnic identities.
With the political changes between 1989 and 1992, ethnic unmixing
and ethnic migration reached a new climax. State formation in the
aftermath of the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the collapse
of Yugoslavia led to a new dynamic of interethnic relations between
majority and minority populations. The break-up of these two
multi-ethnic states created new minorities and made certain members
of the previous titular nation (eg Russians, Serbs) into ethnic
minorities. New states such as Croatia, Estonia and Macedonia were
faced with the fact that large segments of their populations
consisted of minorities. Return migration to Russia occurred when
approximately 25 million (ethnic) Russians became minorities in the
successor states of the former Soviet Union. In 20th-century Europe
overall 40 to 60 million people were transferred, resettled or
expelled as a consequence of ethnic cleansing. This work examines
the reasons for and the practice of ethnic migration and the
challenges it produces.
