A generation of West European citizens – referred to by the author as 'Eurostars' – have pioneered a new kind of highly skilled and educated migration. In an integrating Europe built on economic theories, they appeared to face none of the discrimination and limitations on work and settlement that still restrict other migrants in Europe. And nowhere was the cosmopolitan promise of European free movement more in evidence than in Amsterdam, London, and Brussels – three classic 'Eurocities'. Yet there is a human dimension to European integration. Even with all formal legal barriers down, things are not always so simple. 60 in-depth interviews and more than five years of ethnographic and documentary research unearth some startling revelations – and contradictions – about life in a Europe supposedly without frontiers. A book about real people and real places, \u003ci\u003eEurostars and Eurocities\u003c\/i\u003e is a rare combination of literary style and scholarly analysis. At its core lie the intimate stories of some remarkable individuals and families, who left their comfortable local career paths and family lives to embark on an uncertain European future.  \"A fascinating insight into the crucial and elusive topic of European identity, \u003ci\u003eEurostars and Eurocities\u003c\/i\u003e is a pleasure to read.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eGideon Rachman\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\"Who are the Europeans? \u003ci\u003eEurostars and Eurocities\u003c\/i\u003e presents a convincing portrait of the pitfalls, opportunities, sorrows and joys of people who have decided to give life a go in another European society.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eNeil Fligstein\u003c\/b\u003e, University of California, Berkeley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"A rich ethnography that will surely become a major historical document of the experiences of free movers in the EU.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eJuan Díez Medrano\u003c\/b\u003e, University of Barcelona\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989172207845,"sku":"NP9781405134040","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405134040.jpg?v=1761783081","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/eurostars-and-eurocities-isbn-9781405134040","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
