Moving Up and Getting On: Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in the UK
Autor Jill Rutteren Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2015
The question of immigration is a perennial hot topic in politics around the world. What gets far less attention is what happens to immigrants after their arrival—how they integrate into their newly chosen societies. This book draws on fieldwork in London and eastern England, analyzing and critiquing the effectiveness of recent policies that aim to promote integration and social cohesion. Successful management of immigration, Jill Rutter argues, requires a greater emphasis on the social aspects of integration and opportunities for meaningful social interactions between migrants and long-settled residents, particularly in workplaces.

Recenzii
“This is an essential book for policy makers. Based on a decade’s research it offers rigorous analysis and practical solutions.”
“There are few more pressing issues than making integration work in the United Kingdom, and few better authors to explain how to achieve this goal. Rutter has written an indispensable book: let us hope our political leaders take note.”
“This book takes an important step forward, rejecting simplistic ideas about ‘integration,’ and by recognizing that cohesion revolves around the ability of all people—not just migrants—to manage conflict and change. Rutter also suggests practical ways in which societies can invest in this learning process.”
