Description
With cross-cultural perspectives from contributors in nine countries, this book showcases much-needed research on current issues around migration and social work in Europe. Focusing on the reception, experiences and integration of refugees and asylum seekers, the chapters also consider the impact of recent EU policies on borders and integration.
With racism on the rise in some European societies, the book foregrounds international social work values as a common framework to face discriminatory practice at macro and micro levels. Featuring recommendations for inclusive practice that 'opens doors', this book features the voices of migrants and the practitioners aiding their inclusion in new societies.

Reviews / Votes
"This work represents an original overview of the holistic, transnational and cross-cultural perspectives of migration and asylum in Europe. An excellent book showing the reality of social work." Alberto Ares Mateos, Instituto Universitario de Estudios sobre Migraciones "A must for every library" The British Journal of Social Work "An inspiring, critical and timely book on social work facing migration and asylum. The editors bring an enormous amount of expertise and unique but intertwined perspectives and lessons from different countries across Europe." Maria Ines Martinez Herrero, Universidad Internacional de la Rioja "I would highly recommend this excellent, accessible, thought-provoking book which is ostensibly about migration. It is, however, as much about the heart and soul of social work."Hugh McLaughlin, Manchester Metropolitan University "The book makes an original contribution to transformative social work practice and policy that enables social workers to learn from one another across different European countries." Jonathan Parker, Bournemouth University
