East to West Migration

Russian Migrants in Western Europe

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe brought widespread fear of a 'tidal wave' of immigrants from the East into Western Europe. This book focuses on Russian migration into Western Europe following the break-up of the Soviet Union. Based on extensive interviews, this fascinating and unique ethnographic account of the 'new migration' challenges the underlying assumptions of traditional migration studies and post-modern theories.
