Mediterranean Migration - Reception, Governance and Industry

This book turns an international lens on the experiences of refugees in Sicily to shed light on urgent issues around the migration crisis.
The authors survey migrants, NGOs, practitioners and activists to build a detailed picture of the systems and processes behind the reception of migrants on the island, and the local, national and international policies that determine them. They examine the living conditions of arrivals, the industry that has built up around migration, and local and humanitarian responses.
This is an important case study about the reception of migrants with key lessons for migration policy in the Mediterranean and beyond.
