About this title

Synopsis

Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, migration has become a major cause for concern in many European countries, but migrations to, from and within Europe are nothing new, as Klaus Bade reminds us in this timely history.

• 
  
• A history of migration to, from and within Europe over a range of eras, countries and migration types.
  
• Examines the driving forces and currents of migration, their effects on the cultures of both migrants and host populations, including migration policies.
  
• Focuses on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly the period from the Second World War to the present.
  
• Illuminates concerns about migration in Europe today.
  
• Acts as a corrective to the alarmist reactions of host populations in twenty-first century Europe.
