Routledge Social Integration and Intermarriage in Europe - Routledge

Explore the dynamics of social integration through the lens of intimate connections. This academic work examines intergroup friendships and marriages as primary indicators of how immigrants integrate into new societies. By looking at the most personal ties between minority and majority group members, the text provides a deep look into the realities of modern European demographics. Based on unique, large-scale, cross-national survey data, this book analyzes the experiences of natives alongside Turkish, Moroccan, Pakistani, and ex-Yugoslav migrants. It covers several Western European countries to provide a broad perspective on social cohesion. Readers will find detailed analyses of intermarriage rates, attitudes toward dating across different groups, and the role of parental influence in partner choices. This research is a valuable resource for students and professionals interested in migration studies, sociology, and ethnic relations. It offers a data-driven approach to understanding how different migrant groups navigate social boundaries and relationship patterns in contemporary Europe.
