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. 410 0$aIMISCOE Research Series,$x2364-4087 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aPsychology, Comparative 606 $aSociology 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 606 $aDiaspora$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X37000 606 $aComparative Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20180 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aPsychology, Comparative. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aMigration. 615 24$aDiaspora. 615 24$aComparative Psychology. 615 24$aSociology, general. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 676 $a304.8 702 $aKa?a$b Rita$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMieri?a$b Inta$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337720903321 996 $aThe Emigrant Communities of Latvia$92149812 997 $aUNINA
