Immigration To Cyprus, Nicos Trimikliniotis

Nicos Trimikliniotis

It examines public discourse, the legal status, and the social position of migrants and asylum-seekers. This is exposed against the historical and political backdrop of Cyprus, dominated by the ‘national’ problem, which keeps the island divided.
