Integration is a key challenge facing modern society today. Integration and Resistance offers a new theoretical perspective for considering integration. By focusing on international immigrants and their organisations from a wider perspective the author demonstrates that the threat to social integration does not lie with the immigrants themselves but with global capital and the state. By analysis of data collected in Spain and Portugal the book breaks new ground in providing information on processes occurring in intermediate-capitalist countries that share some aspects of economic development, social and migration features with Northern Europe and America whilst also sharing other features such as the economic dependence of more impoverished countries.

’This is very fine book which combines deep theoretical understanding with extensive empirical research. The author is a geographer but with a wide ranging knowledge of other disciplines. Although its research base is in Lisbon and Barcelona it is of international significance and a very important contribution to the understanding of the integration of immigrant.’ Professor John Rex, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK ’Ricard Moren has produced a theoretically strong and detailed analysis of immigrant organisations in Barcelona and Lisbon. This original study is an invaluable contribution to the literature on processes of integration and resistance.’ Professor Zig Layton-Henry, Warwick University, UK ’A rigorously academic work, prepared and written from an uncommon social involvement, that helps to build bridges between universities and the rest of society. The result is a book of interest to all those who want to understand the changing situation in South West Europe regarding the arrival of foreign immigrants. Both academics and socially concerned citizens will find in this book an useful tool.’ Professor Ã€ngels Pascual-de-Sans, Universitat AutÃ²noma de Barcelona, Spain 'Morén-Alegret develops an impressive and comprehensive analytical framework...insights [are] provided by the author's pioneer comparative approach, by his critical analysis of contemporary social movements and by his engaged plea for alternative...routes to integration and participation.'
