    The contributions in this anthology explore the linkage between two very prominently debated topics: migration on the one hand and memory on the other. It addresses the question of how (im)migration histories as well as(im)migrants themselves and their histories are collectively remembered and represented in different European countries. The authors challenge the marginalization of the rich European (im)migration history and therewith tackle issues that are immanent to today's immigration societies.
