This important and timely work on one of the most challenging issues in modern Europe deserves to be widely read\u003c\/em\u003e — Ian Kershaw\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA striking characteristic of modern Europe has been the extreme fluidity of its populations. Whether trying to escape war and persecution or to find a better life, whether moving from the countryside to the city, or between countries, migrants have stood at the heart of the continent's experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Gatrell's powerful new book is the first to bring together all these stories into one place. He creates a compelling narrative bracketed by two nightmarish periods: the great convulsions that followed the final defeat of the Third Reich and the mass attempts in the 2010s by migrants to cross the Mediterranean into Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Unsettling of Europe\u003c\/em\u003e is a new history of a continent on the move, charting the ever-changing arguments about the desirability or otherwise of migrants and their central role in Europe's post-1945 prosperity. Above all, Gatrell has written a book which makes the reader deeply aware of the many extraordinary journeys taken by countless individuals in pursuit of work, safety, and dignity, all the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a major book on a subject that, decade by decade, will always haunt Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46343714668780,"sku":"9780141984797","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14649953482238.jpg?v=1744005191","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-unsettling-of-europe-by-peter-gatrell-9780141984797","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
