Migration in European History
This major two volume set examines the motivations for migration drawing on the particular experience of Irish, German, Scottish, Italian, Scandinavian and other European migrants, as well as those who migrated to Europe, such as West Indian migrants into Britain. After presenting historical overviews of migration in Europe, the first volume examines the hostility faced by migrants both in their countries of origin and their countries of destination. The second volume addresses the contributions migrants have made to the countries in which they settled as well as studies comparing the experience of different migrant groups. The continuing links of migrants with their countries of origin is also explored through an extensive series of essays and papers.

Critical Acclaim
‘By bringing together these articles in a coherent structure this volume is a useful addition to the specialist’s bookshelf as well as the undergraduates reading list. The editor Colin Holmes provides a useful introduction and overview of the work’s main themes that are split into four sections – general theories of migration, an historical overview of groups involved, a tentative engagement with neglected groups and the reactions of receiving societies. . . . Students and researchers alike will be able to gain much from this collection bringing together as it does a wide selection of material.’
