Economic immigrants in Greek rural areas: socio-economic integration and questions of ethnic exclusion

摘要

The current paper, based on field research in two rural areas in Greece, focuses on the attitudes and perceptions of both farmers-employers and immigrants on various aspects of the latter's integration into the local socio-economic system(s). The results show that farmers are positive as far as immigrants' contribution to agriculture is concerned but hold a??defensivea?? views and rather ambivalent, ethnocentric attitudes in relation to a multicultural local society. Additionally, farmers' views are, more or less, differentiated between the two research areas. Finally, immigrants' views denote a positive perception of their integration into their host societies.View full textDownload full textKeywordsGreece, Immigrants, Citizenship, Rural Areas, Multiculturalism, Integration, Ethnic Exclusionism, CitizenshipRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13608746.2011.571917
