Research On Migration Has Often Focused On Push And Pull Factors; And On The Mobilities Which Drive Migration. What Has Often Received Less Attention, And What This Book Recognises, Is The Importance Of The Creative Activities Which Occur When Strangers Meet And Settle For Long Periods Of Time In New Places. Contributions Consider Case Studies In Italy, Kyrgyzstan, France, Portugal And Australia, As Well As Taking A Careful Look At The Commonwealth City Of Glasgow. They Explore The Making And Use Of Literature (for Adults And Children) Of Art Installations; Translation Processes In Immigration Law; Education Materials; And Intercultural Understanding.
