{"product_id":"europe-in-love-juan-dzez-medrano-9780367478575","title":"Europe in Love: Binational Couples and Cosmopolitan Society","description":"\u003cp\u003eInter-marriage both reflects and brings social change. This book draws on a unique survey of randomly selected samples of national and European binational couples to demonstrate that the latter are core cells of a future European society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnrestricted freedom of movement has enabled a rise in the number of lower-class and middle-class binational couples among Europeans. Euro-couples fully integrate in their host cities but secure less support in solving everyday problems than do national ones, partly because of a relatively small network of relatives living close-by. Embeddedness in a dense international network and a cosmopolitan outlook also distinguish them from national couples. The book challenges the view of cosmopolitanism as exclusively middle-class and highlights contrasts between lower-class and middle-class binational couples. Furthermore, it shows that social cosmopolitanism among binational couples is not matched by a commensurate weaker national identification that would enhance support to a more federal Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is primarily addressed to the general public interested in contemporary European society and to academics interested in inter-marriage. Since the chapters are quasi stand-alone pieces devoted to specific topics, it provides suitable reading material for social stratification, social networks, civil society, popular culture, and European integration undergraduate and graduate courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Juan Díez Medrano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367478579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367478575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Juan Díez Medrano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136011055359,"sku":"9780367478575","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ae82742f-8ab6-4e00-a20d-44ded9f7e8b3.jpg?v=1770159917","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/europe-in-love-juan-dzez-medrano-9780367478575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
