In the context of European migration, the book describes the case of Latvia, which is interesting due to the multiple waves of excessive emigration, continuously high migration potential among European Union member states, and diverse migrant characteristics. It provides a fascinating insight into the social and psychological aspects linked to migration in a comparative context. The data in this volume is rich in providing individual level perspectives of contemporary Latvian migrants by addressing issues such as emigrants’ economic, social and cultural inclusion in the host country, ties with the home country and culture, interaction with public authorities both in the host and home country, political views, and perspectives on the permanent settlement in migration or return. Through topics such as assimilation of children, relationships between emigrants representing different emigration waves, the complex identities and attachments of minority emigrants, and the role of culture and media in identity formation and presentation, this book addresses topics that any contemporary emigrant community is faced with.IMISCOE Research Series,2364-4087Emigration and immigrationPsychology, ComparativeSociologyPolitical scienceMigrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000Diasporahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X37000Comparative Psychologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20180Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Political Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000Emigration and immigration.Psychology, Comparative.Sociology.Political science.Migration.Diaspora.Comparative Psychology.Sociology, general.Political Science.304.8Kaša Ritaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMieriņa Intaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910337720903321The Emigrant Communities of Latvia2149812UNINA
