This book explores migrant's global social remittances and their impacts on Europe. Exploring the topic from a range of disciplines including sociology, anthropology, geography and political science, the authors present empirical analyses covering a wide selection of international contexts across Europe, India, Iraq, Bolivia, Congo, Lebanon and Thailand. The book presents migrants not as Europe's 'cultural others' but as an integral part of Europe's global connection, and scrutinises the flows of knowledge, ideas, money, objects and values which result from the process of migration, rather than the migrants themselves.
A valuable contribution to the literature on migrant transnationalism and globalisation, this book will appeal to scholars across the social sciences.
Magdalena Nowicka is Professor of Migration and Transnationalism at Humboldt University Berlin, Germany. Her interests bring together migration studies, social theory and the sociology of space.
Vojin Šerbedžija is Doctoral Researcher as part of the TRANSFORmIG project at Humboldt University Berlin, Germany. His research focuses on the transcultural activities of Polish migrants in Berlin and their effects on interethnic relations at neighbourhood level.
