The Integration of Descendants of Migrants from Turkey in Stockholm: The TIES Study in Sweden [Paperback]

This timely book, which is based on the results of the Integration of the Second Generation in Europe survey, presents the disturbing results of a recent study in Stockholm that examines the experiences of residents descended from Turkish migrants. Focusing on three different ethno-national groupsTurks, Kurds, and Syriacsthe contributors explore issues such as identity, family situation, language use, education, labor market experiences, and employment. The essays highlight the varying degrees of success each group has achieved in the process of trying to integrate into Stockholm society. The book also examines the widespread discrimination and exclusion the descendants of migrants experience. As a whole, this volume shows a troubling picture of the obstacles faced by immigrant new societies.

Charles Westinis professor of social anthropology at Stockholm University, Sweden, and the author ofIdentity Processes and Dynamics in Multi-Ethnic Europe.
