Poland to Greece, Spain and Italy: anthropological
perspectives’, Krystyna Romaniszyn.
Part 2 contains chapters on gender relations and social
exclusion, always with migration issues at the core of
the analysis:
‘Immigrant women in Southern Europe: social exclusion,
domestic work and prostitution in Italy’, Giovanna
Campani; ‘Migrant flows from Albania to Greece: economic,
social and spatial exclusion’, Gabriella Lazaridis and
Iordanis Psimmenos; “”Racists? Us? Are you joking?” The
discourse of social exclusion of immigrants in Greece and
Italy’, Anna Triandafyllidou; ‘Urban restructuring,
immigration and the generation of marginalised spaces in
the Lisbon region’, Jorge Malheiros.
Part 3 concerns questions of policy and security:
‘European migration policy: questions from Italy’,
Corrado Bonifazi; ‘Becoming a country of immigration at
the end of the twentieth century: the case of Spain’,
Joaquín Arango; ‘Migration, trade and development: the
European Union and the Maghreb countries’, Georges
