Rethinking settlement and integration

Migrants' anchoring in an age of insecurity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This monograph argues that concepts well-established in migration studies such as 'settlement' and 'integration' do not sufficiently capture the features of adaptation and settling of contemporary migrants. The author highlights practical implications to better support individuals facing changes and challenges in new, complex and fluid societies.
