Pressezitat
"The book is well written and holds ones attention in the analysis as well as the firsthand accounts." (The Delta Intercultural Academy, 1 September 2011)"Self-consciously and by design not a conventional social science product, Favell s book propels the reader much as a novel would into the private lives of 60 pioneers of European integration, educated and highly skilled trailblazers representing the small but symbolically powerful population who have voluntarily left their nation-state society to reap the rewards of denizenship in a big, rich Eurocity in northwest Europe." ( American Journal of Sociology , September 2009)
"Favell analyses the new migration trends, challenges to the welfare state, and forms of urban cosmopolitanism linked to processes of European integration." ( European Urban Knowledge Network Research & Practice Review , February 2009)
"In his new book, sociologist Adrian Favell challenges the belief that Eurostars or high-flying expat Europeans, can live successfully anywhere in the EU." ( Time Out Amsterdam , January 2009)
