Why was the Western Russia migration (1800s-1980s) so important? Were there any lasting consequences?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe brought widespread fear of a 'tidal wave' of immigrants from the East into Western Europe. Quite apart from the social and political importance, East-West migration also poses a challenge to established theories of migration, as in most cases the migrant flow cannot be categorised as either refugee movement or a labour migration.

Indeed much of the trans-border movement is not officially recognised, as many migrants are temporary, commuting, 'tourists' or illegal, and remain invisible to the authorities. This book focuses on Russian migration into Western Europe following the breakup of the Soviet Union. Helen Kopnina explores the concept of 'community' through an examination of the lives of Russian migrants in two major European cities, London and Amsterdam.

In both cases Kopnina finds an 'invisible community', inadequately defined in existing literature. Arguing that Russian migrants are highly diverse, both socially and in terms of their views and adaptation strategies, Kopnina uncovers a community divided by mutual antagonisms, prompting many to reject the idea of belonging to a community at all.

Based on extensive interviews, this fascinating and unique ethnographic account of the 'new migration' challenges the underlying assumptions of traditional migration studies and post-modern theories. It provides a powerful critique for the study of new migrant groups in Western Europe and the wider process of European identity formation.

What was the basic problem of label after the civil war in the south

wariber [46]

Answer:

Since the Civil War, sharecropping and tenant farming took the place of slavery and planting in the South.Sharecropping and tenant farming were schemes in which white landowners (often former slaveholders) entered into contracts with poor farm laborers to work their fields.Those who worked in the fields shared a portion of the crop yield with the landlord as payment for the rent of the land. Under the sharecropping scheme, the landlord normally supplied the money to buy the seed and the machinery required to plant, cultivate and harvest the grain, while the sharecropper supplied the labour. In such lease agreements, the worker, not the landowner, took blame.
