OverviewThe New Southern European Diaspora: Youth, Unemployment, and Migration uses a qualitative and ethnographic approach to investigate the movement of young adults from areas in southern Europe that are still impacted by the 2008 economic crisis. With a particular focus on Spain, Portugal, and Italy, Ricucci examines the difficulties faced by young adults who are entering the labor market and are developing plans to move abroad. Ricucci further investigates mobility and its drivers, relationships among mobile youth and their social networks, perceptions of intra-European Union youth mobility, and the role of institutions, especially schools, in the development of mobility plans. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, political science, and economics.

Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is about the 'new kids on the block' in European migration—young Southern Europeans fleeing unemployment, frustration and angst in their home countries for the more exciting and rewarding opportunities in the cities of Northern Europe, such as Berlin and London. Based on extensive field interviews in several countries, Roberta Ricucci tells the intriguing story of Europe's most recent internal migrants, following their educational, work, cultural, and lifestyle aspirations and experiences as they transition from youth to adulthood. -- Russell King, University of Sussex In a simple and accessible fashion, the book presents the complex phenomenon of the mobility of young Europeans, more particularly Italians. Simplicity does not entail simplification. Indeed, the author conveys the multiple links with the economic crisis, the education system, the labour market as well as the personal impulse, between hope, disillusionment, opportunity and resentment. She also echoes the current migratory phenomena in a mirror image which the book enables us to face while overcoming our biases. -- Isabelle Felici, University Paul-Valéry This book is about the 'new kids on the block' in European migration-young Southern Europeans fleeing unemployment, frustration and angst in their home countries for the more exciting and rewarding opportunities in the cities of Northern Europe, such as Berlin and London.
