Migrants' (Im)mobilities in Three European Urban Contexts

This bookanalyses theimpact of thecoronaviruspandemic on three ethnic minorities in three European cities: Bangladeshi in London, Turks in Stuttgart and Peruvians in Milan. Considerable debate has emerged during the pandemic concerning its impact on minorities, and although considerable quantitative data has been generated by epidemiologists, qualitative studiesalsohave great relevance,socially and culturally as well as institutionally. Whilein normal circumstancesthe position of migrant communities is associated with unequal access to scarce resources such as wealth, power and social prestige, thecoronavirus pandemicshifted the focus to more specific variables: living in segmented or overcrowded conditions, working in jobs with higher risk exposure,difficulties with online schooling,andlack of access tohealth care and information. The book will therefore be of interest to researchers and students of sociology, anthropology, global studies, migration and urban studies.
