Book Synopsis
Much like the US, the countries of Western Europe have experienced massive immigration over the years. Spain, in particular, has been receiving thousands of new immigrants. This study is based on a sample of almost 7,000 second-generation students who were interviewed in Madrid and Barcelona in 2008 and then re-interviewed four years later.
