商品簡介
The editors (of the International Institute of Social History and Leiden U., both in the Netherlands) present seven comparative national case studies exploring postcolonial migrations to Europe and beyond. They distinguish "postcolonial migrants" from other types because of how such issues as pre-migration legal status, familiarity with language and culture of the colonial metropole, and kinship relations with the metropolitan population can influence the cultural, social, and political dynamics of immigration by postcolonial subjects. The case studies provide analysis for France, Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan, Russia, and the United States. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
