ABSTRACT

The mass movement of peoples that we call migratory, already mentioned, requires treatment as a double-effect phenomenon. First, migration deprives a country or group of lands of a population element possessing sensitivity, initiative and curiosity about living and working in another culture. Secondly, migration can be a shock as well as boon to the receiving nation. Chapter 13 underlines both of these societal traumas, the truly complex nature of each, and methods and means available to migrants and their hosts to make the best emerge from what is inevitably major disorder for both actors.
