Although an edited collection, the forthcoming book is in fact a tightly related set of chapters stemming from a large, team based, multi-country study of experiences and patterns of social exclusion and inclusion. Spanning seven European nations – Spain, Italy, France, United Kingdom, Estonia, Norway, and Sweden – the chapters in the book each take on a key theme such as education, work, identity and belonging. Organised thematically, rather than by nation, the chapters attempt to provide depth relating to a particular national context, while at the same time drawing comparisons between the national field-sites.
The collection has an introduction outlining the questions, rationale and conceptual underpinnings of the project, and a methodology chapter that explores the methodological approach to the study, and some of the methodological challenges encountered. The penultimate chapter attempts to draw together the more detailed findings presented in the middle chapters.
The preliminary title of the forthcoming book is: Young Migrants in Europe: Exclusion and Belonging.
We are looking forward to collaborating with Palgrave in finalizing the manuscript for the book. Read more about Palgrave MacMillan.
