Focusing on the politics of citizenship and immigration within the European Union, this book explores the varied responses to immigration by analyzing public debates surrounding Romanian migrants and the Roma minority in Italy and Spain. It delves into local, national, and transnational dimensions to uncover the reasons behind these differences, providing a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in immigration discourse.

This important new book provides a framework for understanding the dynamics underpinning recent unprecedented levels of migration across, and loss of life in, the Mediterranean, casting new light on the `migration crisis' and challenging politicians, policy makers and the media to rethink their understanding of why and how people move.
