Author Description

Mobilitet og tilknytning sheds light on the social, economic and cultural causes that make people all over the world leave their native countries. In nine anthropological studies the authors focus on how different kinds of migrants perceive their meeting with a new country: Denmark. To some migrants Denmark is just another stopover on their long migration route and to others this is their new home. These studies show that integration and mobility are not necessarily opposed terms and that migrants in many different ways manage to create and keep affiliations with both their native country and their new country.
