Transit Migration: The Missing Link Between Emigration and Settlement - Paperback

by A. Papadopoulou-Kourkoula (Author)

Challenging traditional approaches to migration, which puts migrants in narrow categories (legal and illegal, newcomer and settler), 'Transit Migration' shows that migrants and refugees live in transit for years, a stage in the migration course profoundly affecting destination countries and the migrants themselves.
