La recent regularització extraordinària de persones migrants (In Catalan)

Divulga UIB, podcast de la Unitat de Divulgació i Cultura Científica de la UIB
LinkThe Spanish Government has just approved the extraordinary regularisation of nearly half a million migrants already living in the country. This measure has sparked a broad social debate and holds a special resonance in the Balearic Islands, where one in four inhabitants was born abroad. Since the 1960s, the Balearic Islands have been a welcoming land for migrants who came to build the tourism miracle—people who worked in the summer and returned home in the winter, or who stayed forever. How were those processes experienced? What lessons do they offer us to understand the present? In this interview, as a Margalida Comas postdoctoral researcher, I analyse circular migration in the Balearic Islands during the tourism boom of the 1960s and 1970s.
