Editorial Review:
Product Description:
A striking portrait of the "new" Europe of migrant workers, refugees and political exiles who are drastically altering the society we have traditionally recognized―told in a series of vivid and moving personal profiles by the journalist who covers Europe for The New Yorker. The four parts of this book are about Europeans whom Europe never expected to accomodate. Some of these Europeans are old colonials come "home" to die with the empires they have supported. Some are Third World refugees, migrant workers, Communists out of a compromesso storico with reality. All of them are people who have had at least as much to do with what we call "modern Europe" as the young technocrats and the bland new having-and-spending bourgeois who usually get the credit (or the blame) for the changing quality of European life.
