The presentation of the book "¿Un 'sueño europeo'? Europa como destino anhelado de migración en la creación cultural latinoamericana (2001-2015)" edited by Verena Dolle and published in 2020 (https://www.iberoamericana-vervuert.es/FichaLibro.aspx?P1=184338) will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the authors of the book. The question to be discussed is to what extent Europe, specifically the European Union, has become a longed-for and dreamed-of migration destination in recent years and to what extent a so-called "European Dream" has become equal to or even replaces the "American Dream", which has not only been in crisis since the Trump administration. At least that's how Jeremy Rifkin put it so strikingly and provocatively back in 2004. Of course, the event cannot do this for all countries and countries of origin in about 90 minutes, therefore it focuses on the question of how the view of the EU as a migration destination from a Latin American perspective is shaped in Latin American media, since there was a significant increase in migration from Latin America to countries of the EU, especially in the early 2000s.

Prof. Dr. Verena Dolle (Giessen)
Dr. Fredrik Olsson (Gothenburg)
