Читать книгу The Integration Nation - Adrian Favell - Страница 6

I am very grateful to Polity Press, particularly my editor Jonathan Skerrett, for the invitation to write this book, returning me to my core interest in immigrant integration and nationalism in the light of the new waves of critical and activist work on migration in recent years. It has been an exemplary editorial and production experience.

As always, it is impossible to thank everyone who has helped me think through and articulate these ideas, but I owe a special word of gratitude to friends and colleagues at the University of Leeds, particularly Bobby Sayyid and Ipek Demir for their attentive and encouraging reading of the manuscript; to Tesfalem Yemane and Kheira Arrouche for the brilliant work they are doing; to Li Sun for our work on China; and to members of the Leeds Migration Research Network, the Bauman Institute and the Northern Exposure project, especially Roxana Barbulescu, Albert Varela, Andrew Wallace, Paul Bagguley and Yasmin Hussain. I am grateful always for my precious connection to the Centre d’études européennes et de politique comparée at Sciences Po, Paris, and its fabulous équipe. Final work on the manuscript was completed as a fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin, 2021–2022.

It was Ralph Grillo, a long time ago, who first suggested I write a book like this. Comments on some of my earlier work by Nina Glick Schiller and Saskia Sassen also inspired me. I was extremely grateful for the close readings given at a late stage by Dirk Jacobs, Jon Fox and Molly Geidel. Big thanks to Paul Statham, Nando Sigona, Raj Patel, Janine Dahinden, Giacomo Orsini and Umut Korkut, and to Marta Kindler and Pawel Kaczmarczyk, for opportunities to fully develop the ideas presented here; and to Roger Waldinger, whose work and support have been such an inspiration over many years.
