Abstract
This introductory chapter will attempt to set the scene for the book as a whole by providing an overview of recent immigration to Southern Europe. Given limitations of space, this overview will be at a high level of generalization and will work towards the proposal of a ‘model’ of Southern European immigration which has distinctive features. These characteristic features are different from those witnessed by the earlier phase of South European emigration and different from the immigration into Northern Europe of the early post-war decades. Above all the character of contemporary immigration into Southern Europe reflects two things: the changing global nature of international migration; and the way in which immigrants in Southern Europe are embedded in the specific model of South European post-industrial society.
