International Migration and Ethnic Relations: Critical Perspectives

This book is a critical contribution to the understanding of the phenomena of migration and ethnicity, from a Swedish vantage point looking outwards towards a European context. It presents current academic debates and gives a theoretical overview of nine key concepts in the field of ethnic and migrations studies, but it also exemplifies how these concepts could be used in analysing specific empirical cases. It explores the following concepts: ethnicity; migration diaspora; citizenship; intersectionality; racism; right wing populism; social exclusion; and informalisation.
