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 title of the book is: Young Migrants: Exclusion and Belonging in Europe.
The book will be available online within a couple of months.
