Edited by Adelina Miranda, Professor of Anthropology, University of Poitiers and a member of the MIGRINTER Research Centre (Migrations Internationales, Espaces et Sociétés), France and Antía Pérez-Caramés, Senior Lecturer of Sociology, Research Group Societies in Motion (ESOMI), Department of Sociology and Communication Sciences, University of A Coruña, Spain

With contributions from leading scholars in Southern Europe, this compelling book demonstrates the plurality of migratory circumstances and analyses the significance of the Mediterranean migration model. Highlighting the challenges of studying the variability and heterogeneity of migratory patterns in the Mediterranean, this insightful book provides a comprehensive examination of the variations of spatial-temporal scales and sedimentation of different migratory configurations.

‘An indispensable contribution to comparative immigration studies, this book brings together an impressive group of country specialists on southern European migration, working in a broad range of disciplines. While deeply sensitive to historical context, the contributors offer original insights into ongoing policy issues like the tension between child/elder-care needs of native-born families and restrictive immigration measures. This book is a model of cross-national scholarship that breaks new theoretical ground.’
– Wayne A. Cornelius, University of California, San Diego, US

“多学科和向外(不是Eurocentric) perspective, this book offers one of the most comprehensive surveys of research on migration in the Mediterranean area. The contributions cover countries on the European side and those on the opposite side of the Mediterranean. They examine the policies adopted, the motivations and the aims of the multiple parties involved.’
