Migration In Comparative Perspective Caribbean Communities In Britain And France

This book presents a comparative perspective on post-war Caribbean migration to Britain and France. Both migrations were responses to the link between former colonies and colonial powers. However, the movements of labor occurred within separately and differently evolving political contexts, affecting the migration outcomes. Today, Caribbean communities in Europe display complex features of continuity and change. Condon and Byron examine trends in migration patterns, household and family structures, social fields, employment and housing trajectories in detail. This systematic comparison with its innovative focus on gender and life-course, is an excellent addition to the existing literature on the Caribbean diaspora.Byron, Margaret is the author of 'Migration In Comparative Perspective Caribbean Communities In Britain And France', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415310451 and ISBN 0415310458.
