Description
A selection of theoretico-methodological views from both senior and young researchers who participated in a two-week summer school organized by the European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations (ERCOMER) in May 1997. The book concentrates on theory and methods and their implications in research. Each chapter questions or defends specific methodological and theoretical choices available for current or recent research on migration issues. It aims to provide international and intergenerational perspectives reflecting both established views and constructive scepticism as well as intergender and multicultural perspectives.
