"Pojmann's volume is a 'must-read' for anyone hoping to understand the myriad issues facing immigrant communities in Europe. The essays show immigrants as vital political and social actors with a dynamic role to play in Western Europe. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars across disciplines." - Lori Marso, Professor of Political Science, Union College ...

The fact is universal, but historical and national contexts, migrants' situation and gender, shape their political agenda and activities. Only a truly comparative and multidisciplinary endeavor such as this, could then allow us to grasp the complexity and diversity of migrant politics in Western Europe during the last half-century and still capture the common dynamics at work in European post-colonial societies. The authors offer us an exciting new field of investigation and some solid guidelines." - Dr. Philippe Rygiel, Center for Twentieth Century Social History, University of Paris I (Sorbonne) Show Less
