As a rule, problems are solved. If the refugee issue was a problem, it would have a solution. However, it doesn't. It is completely futile to treat a phenomenon as a problem. This is also the case with the refugee issue: a social phenomenon that generates problems - fewer or more, depending on how we manage it. By attempting to historically integrate the refugee and migration issue into its long and medium term in Greece, we are essentially trying to deepen our evaluations, to preserve our clarity and foresight from the panic caused by the frenzied pace of events. To distance ourselves from its passions.

In these difficult and agonizing moments, this book was written with the aim of providing arguments to those who believe that the refugee and migration issues are matters with which Greek society - whether it likes it or not - should learn to live, without exaggerations and demonizations. From this perspective, it primarily wants to serve the virtue of awareness: awareness as the unique precondition for things to change for the better.
