Sommario/riassunto

After a long period of employment growth that led to the lowest unemployment rate since the German reunification, Berlin's labour market is now tightening.

Sommario/riassunto

The Chagos islanders were forcibly uprooted from the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean between 1965 and 1973. This is the first book to compare the experiences of displaced Chagos islanders in Mauritius with the experiences of those Chagossians who have moved to the UK since 2002.
