Kurzfassung:
This book examines the migration, integration and transnational activity of overseas Americans - American migrants - in France, Germany and the UK. It examines the reasons for their migration, introduces the concept of 'accidental migrant' and explores the question of overseas Americans' integration and identity formation, While overseas Americans are often seen as short-term corporate transferees or backpackers, there are also many Americans - estimates range from 2 to 7 million - living overseas. This book explores the case of longer-term overseas Americans - migrants - in France, Germany and the UK. What has led them to leave the United States? How does their integration in Europe proceed? This book explores both of these questions in depth, while also examining the case of American political engagement in the United States. The book draws on almost 900 survey responses and over 100 in-depth interviews carried out in Berlin, Paris and London
