Thought-provoking
insights on the nexus of migration and integration beyond the national context
Across the world, and due to ongoing globalisation,
migration is increasingly becoming a part of daily life. But more than ever, migration
can no longer be viewed as a simple linear trajectory from A to B. The
emergence of transnational communities and intense interactions between regions
of origin and of destination have led to new forms of social–cultural praxis
and (sub)cultures which exert an important influence on the integration of immigrants.
The case of Flanders, the northern part of Belgium and a reference point for the impact of these processes across Europe, is presented as a case study in this book.

Migration
and Integration in Flanders is
structured in three thematic parts, opening with chapters on the imaginaries and
perceptions of people in changing migration contexts. The book then proceeds
with chapters which present theoretical and empiric data on changing
integration dynamics in multicultural societies. The final chapter concludes with
a discussion of social networks’ mediating role.

The growing complexity of migration leads the contributing authors to look
beyond borders, both of national frontiers – as migration by definition implies
cross-border research – and of disciplines and research methods. In doing so, the present
volume offers thought-provoking essays on topical issues that stir public and
political debates across Europe, and contributes to fundamental discussions on
changing societies.
