Présentation de l'éditeur

What is it like to travel to Europe over land and sea in order to secure a future for yourself and your family? Why are so many people willing to risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean? And why is Europe, one of the richest regions of the world, unable to cope? This important new book provides a framework for understanding the dynamics underpinning recent unprecedented levels of migration across, and loss of life in, the Mediterranean, casting new light on the `migration crisis' and challenging politicians, policy makers and the media to rethink their understanding of why and how people move.
