Immigrants, Who are You? Research on Immigrants in Slovenia

Immigrants, Who are You? Research on Immigrants in Slovenia

This research study and monograph aims at presenting immigrants who were first dehumanized by the politics, then by the wider public in Slovenia, and presented as social vermin. Proff that this is so is the study itself. It combines quantitative analysis of survey results, the immigrants’ life stories, and accounts of our own experience during the field work.
