Synopsis

Migration in European History is a comprehensive collection of articles focusing on European migration during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

This major two volume set examines the motivations for migration drawing on the particular experience of Irish, German, Scottish, Italian, Scandinavian and other European migrants, as well as those who migrated to Europe, such as West Indian migrants into Britain. After presenting historical overviews of migration in Europe, the first volume examines the hostility faced by migrants both in their countries of origin and their countries of destination. The second volume addresses the contributions migrants have made to the countries in which they settled as well as studies comparing the experience of different migrant groups. The continuing links of migrants with their countries of origin is also explored through an extensive series of essays and papers.

These authoritative and wide ranging volumes offer students and scholars from many disciplines a distillation of the key texts and issues which have been addressed in the historical study of migration in Europe.
