Minority Internal Migration in Europe

'This book, with its 13 case study chapters and impressive bibliography, clearly shows that minority internal migration research is now as vibrant in Europe as in the traditional immigration countries of the New World. These chapters benefit greatly from following a consistent structure in which overviews of immigration history and policy lead on to discussion of conceptual and theoretical frameworks and to new, mainly nationally-based, empirical analyses. The editors’ opening and closing chapters reinforce the themes of importance of place and diversity of experience, serving as a powerful reminder of the dangers of generalising about immigration and its impacts on sub-national population structures and distributions. I also applaud their concluding research agenda that challenges us to take advantage of the 2010 census round and other sources to update and deepen our knowledge and understanding of this migration.' Tony Champion, Newcastle University, UK 'This new book is an impressive addition to the expanding literature on migration patterns and processes, choosing as its focus the experience of minority ethnic migrants moving within countries... I found this book immensely enjoyable, and I think it is a ’must-have’ for anyone interested in migration or indeed demography and quantitative approaches to human geography more generally. It has very clearly been compiled with a good deal of love, care, and attention by the editors and will be a valuable addition to many bookshelves.' Environment and Planning B: Planning and Design 'Each chapter adds considerable value to this volume as a research resource and is supported by extensive sources. On the whole, Minority Internal Migration in Europe represents a valuable contribution to the literature on minority international migration. ... Individual chapters in this book will be used as recommended reading in most undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses dealing with the aspects of minority internal migrat
