Disseminating knowledge
The revue Hommes & Migrations
Hommes & Migrations is a social sciences publication published by the Musée National de l’Histoire de l’Immigration. For over fifty years, through the articles it publishes, it has served as a tool for disseminating knowledge and encouraging reflection on contemporary questions linked to migration in France and across the world. Culture and art columns provide a complement to these articles, which are grouped into theme-based dossiers.
