More Description
This book combines various theoretical approaches to explore how Finland and its people responded to the European Union (EU) refugee crisis. Combining interviews with Finns, voluntary migrants to Finland and refugees in Finland, the text presents differing perspectives on migration in this country.

In addition, the cultural fusion of Finnish and migrant culture is presented as a threat and opportunity for Finland and its future.
