| Publisher Description: Les migrations sont r cemment r apparues comme un d fi majeur pour les Etats-nations de l'Ouest, en particulier en Europe. L'augmentation rapide des flux migratoires r sulte de la conjonction complexe de facteurs r pulsifs et attractifs - depuis les possibilit s du march du travail jusqu'aux migrations forc es. Cependant les migrations sont enracin es dans un pass parfois lointain et les m canismes les mieux tablis ne peuvent tre compris qu'en adoptant une perspective de longue dur e. Les auteurs se sont efforc s non seulement d' claircir la complexit de la personnalit des migrants (genre, ge, ducation, religion, etc.), mais aussi de tenir compte des contextes vari s des migrations (initiatives individuelles, strat gies familiales, politiques migratoires, etc.). Ils invitent le lecteur envisager l'histoire des migrations et la situation actuelle selon une perspective nouvelle et stimulante. Migrations have recently returned as a major challenge to the developed nation-states of the West, particularly in Europe. The dramatic increase of migratory flows is caused by a complex conjunction of push and pull factors - from labour market opportunities to forced migrations. However some migrations appear to be rooted in a remote past, and the most deep-seated mechanisms can only be understood by adopting a long-term perspective. The present contributors have not only tried to clarify the complexity of the migrant personality (gender, age, education, religion etc.), but also to take into account the various contexts of migrations (individual initiatives, family strategies, migration policies etc.). They invite us to consider the history of migrations and the present situation in a new and fresh perspective. |
