These essays show Austria's long history as a migration country. Austrians themselves have been on the move for the past 150 years to find new homes and build better lives. After World War II the economy improved and prosperity set in, so Austrians tended to stay at home. Austria's growing prosperity made the country attractive to potential immigrants. After the war, tens of thousands of \"ethnic Germans\" expelled from Eastern Europe settled in Austria. Starting in the 1950s \"victims of the Cold War\" (Hungarians, Czechs and Slovaks) began looking for political asylum in Austria. Since the 1960s Austria has been recruiting a growing number of \"guest workers\" from Turkey and Yugoslavia to make up for the labor missing in the industrial and service economies. Recently, refugees from the arc of crisis from Afghanistan to Syria to Somalia have braved perilous journeys to build new lives in a more peaceful and prosperous Europe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guenter Bischof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608011453\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608011452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New Orleans Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Guenter Bischof","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439824220415,"sku":"9781608011452","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6e52314-be6e-4401-be40-faa50460f0bc.jpg?v=1777179444","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/migration-in-austria-guenter-bischof-9781608011452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
