Krátky popis
Migrants have stood at the heart of modern Europe's experience,
whether trying to escape danger, to find a better life or as a
result of deliberate policy, whether moving from the countryside to
the city, or between countries, or from outside the continent
altogether. Peter Gatrell's powerful new book is the first to bring
these stories together into one place. He creates a compelling
narrative bracketed by two nightmarish periods: the great
convulsions following the fall of the Third Reich and the mass
attempts in the 2010s by migrants to cross the Mediterranean into
Europe.The Unsettling of Europe is a new history of the continent,
charting the ever-changing arguments about the desirability or
otherwise of migrants and their central role in Europe's post-1945
prosperity. Gatrell is as fascinating on the giant movements of
millions (such as the epic waves of German migration) to that of
much smaller groups, such as the Karelians, Armenians, Moluccans or
Ugandan Asians. Above all he has written a book that makes the
reader deeply aware of the many extraordinary journeys taken by
countless individuals in pursuit of work, safety and dignity, all
the time.This is a landmark book on a subject that, decade by
decade, will always haunt Europe.
