The figure of the immigrant consumer in Europe

Presentation

An invitation to discover research conducted in France and Germany on the theme of the immigrant consumer.

This book aims to document a series of Franco-German scientific exchanges that took place between 2015 and 2017 on the figure of the immigrant consumer. Through five meetings, the ambition was to bring to light a new field of research, crossing two themes traditionally approached separately - that of migration on the one hand, and that of consumption on the other - and to bring into dialogue historiographies that know little or nothing about each other due to the language barrier and lack of reception of existing work.
