In this Very Short Introduction, historian David A.

He discusses the relationships between race and ethnicity in the life of these groups and in the formation of American society, as well as explaining how immigration policy and legislation have helped to form those relationships. Moreover, by highlighting the parallels that contemporary patterns of immigration and resettlement share with those of the past - which Americans now generally regard as having had positive outcomes - the book offers an optimistic portrait of current immigration that is at odds with much present-day opinion.

How, in the aftermath of these displacements, did they remake their communities? Shenila Khoja-Moolji highlights women''s critical role in this rebuilding process and breaks new ground by writing women into modern Ismaili history.Rebuilding Community tells the story of how Ismaili Muslim women who fled East Pakistan and East Africa in the 1970s recreated religious community (jamat) in North America. Drawing on oral histories, fieldwork, and memory texts, Khoja-Moolji illuminates the placemaking activities through which Ismaili women reproduce bonds of spiritual kinship: from cooking for congregants on feast days and looking after sick coreligionists to engaging in memory work through miracle stories and cookbooks. Khoja-Moolji situates these activities within the framework of ethical norms that more broadly define and sustain the Ismaili sociality.

It constitutes appropriate reading for graduate level or advanced undergraduate courses, and selections would enhance syllabi in a range of introductory level courses. The book will, no doubt, garner an enthusiastic audience among Ismailis who see their histories reflected with such care and precision.

Exploring the lives of Shia Ismaili Muslim women in the North American diaspora, Rebuilding Community illuminates many themes of our day - displacement, flight, migration (sometimes repeatedly from one country to another) followed by the work of recreating home and community in new spaces. Documenting the minutiae of their experience with brilliance and exquisite sensitivity, Khoja-Moolji also compellingly develops a theory of the ethics of care pertinent to any community of faith. * Leila Ahmed, Victor S. Thomas Professor of Divinity, Harvard University *\u003cbr\u003eIn this brilliantly conceptualized work, Khoja-Moolji argues for how the deeply ingrained ethic of care among migrant Ismaili women illustrates the critical role played by women in creating a vibrant symbolic, imagined, and living community, turning displacement into emplacement. Her careful research destabilizes understandings of migratory and refugee populations as solely victimized and traumatized, pointing instead to how the placemaking practices of such women draw upon shared spiritualities, ritual practices, traumatizing dislocations, and cultural traditions to forge connections across generations and geographical locations. We are drawn into a richly textured world in which mundane activities take on much greater significance when seen as threads in an intergenerational tapestry that tell the stories of loss, relocation, resilience, and regeneration. * Zayn Kassam, John Knox McLean Professor of Religious Studies, Pomona College *\u003cbr\u003eA pioneering study that sensitively explores the experiences of migrant Ismaili women in North America and the crucial role they have played in community formation through the ethic of care that is so central to their religious and spiritual lives.

The idea that social rights are something we are eligible for based on where we live or where we are citizens is out-of-date. In Transnational Social Protection, Peggy Levitt, Erica Dobbs, Ken Chih-Yan Sun, and Ruxandra Paul consider what happens to social welfare when more and more people live, work, study, and retire outside their countries of citizenship where they receive health, education, and elder care. The authors use the concept of resource environment to show how migrants and their families piece together packages of protections from multiple sources in multiple settings and the ways that these vary by place and time. They further show how a new, hybrid transnational social protection regime has emerged in response to the changing environment that complements, supplements, or, in some cases, substitutes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book moves the field forward in several ways. First, it asks important central questions: How do people gain access to social protections within the context of migration? How do they negotiate such protections for themselves and their families as they reside in places offering markedly different levels of or exclusion from state offered social protection? or as they move through the life course? Second, it uses but also notes how much prior research on transnationalism or state-centered social protections cannot fully describe how migrants and their families seek to access such social protections. Finally, and critically, they use empirical fieldwork-based evidence to describe and analyze how these families create resource environments seeking access to social protections. They effectively ground and develop their theoretical arguments with data and cases.

Telling the story of Powell''s political life from the 1950s onwards, Paul Corthorn''s intellectual biography goes beyond a fixation on the ''Rivers of Blood'' speech to bring us a man who thought deeply about - and often took highly unusual (and sometimes apparently contradictory) positions on - the central political debates of the post-1945 era: denying the existence of the Cold War (at one stage going so far as to advocate the idea of an alliance with the Soviet Union); advocating free-market economics long before it was fashionable, while remaining a staunch defender of the idea of a National Health Service; vehemently opposing British membership of the European Economic Community; arguing for the closer integration of Northern Ireland with the rest of the UK; and in the 1980s supporting the campaign for unilateral nuclear disarmament.In the process, Powell emerges as more than just a deeply divisive figure but as a seminal political intellectual of his time. Paying particular attention to the revealing inconsistencies in Powell''s thought and the significant ways in which his thinking changed over time, Corthorn argues that Powell''s diverse campaigns can nonetheless still be understood as a coherent whole, if viewed as part of a long-running, and wide-ranging, debate set against the backdrop of the long-term decline in Britain''s international, military, and economic position in the decades after 1945.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul Corthorn must be thanked for providing such a clear, multi-faceted analysis of an extremely complex political figure, acknowledging very evidently his most striking contradictions, some of which Powell himself was aware of, for he 'almost made specific arguments that he knew did not quite add up' * Olivier Esteves, Université de Lille, Journal of Contemporary History *\u003cbr\u003eEnoch Powell remains the single most controversial politician in modern British history. Yet more than half a century after his most incendiary speech, his influence is arguably greater than ever.

With scrupulous care and attention to detail, he examines the roots and legacy of Powell's ideas, both placing him in his historical context and exploring his afterlives in British politics.

It is not only an accomplished piece of research which should be of immense value to policymakers, but an agenda setting piece for critical border, security, and citizenship studies. * Ben Rosher, E-International Relations *\u003cbr\u003eVaughan-Williams poses the important question, why has the recent frenzy of border fortification—especially but not only in the EU—intensified rather than reduced popular anxieties about borders and migrants? To answer it, Vaughan-Williams listens closely to the people churned by such anxieties. This essential, original, and extraordinarily well-researched contribution to border and migration studies arrives at conclusions that should stop both policy makers and critical theorists in their tracks. * Wendy Brown, Class of 1936 First Professor of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley, and author of Walled States, Waning Sovereignty *\u003cbr\u003eIn foregrounding the vernacular, Nick Vaughan-Williams makes a powerful and highly significant interference in contemporary understandings of the politics of security, borders, and migration. Vernacular Border Security takes the extensive literature on the importance of language for securitization and desecuritization in a new direction by foregrounding conversations rather than speech acts, claims, or discourses. In doing so, Vaughan-Williams has given us a rich resource for critically engaging contemporary framings of security, borders, and migration through a democratic analytics that values the reflective and critical engagement of ordinary people in the politics of insecurity. * Jef Huysmans, Professor of International Politics, Queen Mary University of London *\u003cbr\u003eVernacular Border Security is a must-read for all political geographers concerned with questions of borderings, wallings, and the contemporary political imaginations of migrations in Europe. Beautifully written and conceptually innovative, this book brilliantly connects the grand narratives of border security promoted by institutions at the most diverse scales with a set of vernacular perspectives on the experience of border security in specific European settings. The rich and original empirical material matched by the sophisticated theoretical analysis proposed here by Nick Vaughan-Williams makes this book a path-breaking intervention in the fields of border and migration studies. * Claudio Minca, Professor, Department of History and Cultures, University of Bologna *\u003cbr\u003eComing from cultural studies and gender studies, I found Nick Vaughan-Williams' vernacular approach to be an illustrative perspective on security. Besides deconstructing the 'migration crisis' narrative, Vaughan-Williams explains theories of populism and ontological (in)security in a reader-friendly manner. I particularly enjoyed the author's take on affect and processes of gendering and racializing the figure of 'the migrant'. Reading this eloquent and important book gave me tools to analyze critically the perpetual debate about migration, borders, and securitization. * Tuija Saresma, Senior Researcher, University of Jyväskylä *\u003cbr\u003eEuropean governments adopted inhuman, unlawful, and ineffective border security measures in the name of citizens allegedly frightened by migrants. Yet the empirical evidence offered by Nick Vaughan-Williams suggests that anti-migrant narratives originated at the top rather than at the bottom of societal ladders, aggravating anxieties among European citizens. The book points to counter-narratives embracing cultures of hospitality, rebuffing fantasies of walls and wired borders. These findings are not likely to deter populist politicians, but they should offer food for thought to moderate ones and to mass-media gurus eager to talk on behalf of 'ordinary people' without engaging in genuine conversation with them. I strongly recommend this book to all concerned citizens. * Jan Zielonka, Professor of Politics at the University of Oxford and the University of Venice, Ca Foscari *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1: Towards a Vernacular Study of Border Security 2: Exceptional Times, Emergency Borders: (De)Constructing Europe's 'Migration Crisis' 3: Populist and 'Post-Truth' Border Politics: The Securitization of Public Opinion on Migration 4: Dangerous Aliens, Crisis Constellations, and Information Gaps: Vernacular Narratives of Migration 5: Border Anxieties: Vernacular Narratives of Ontological (In)Security 6: Desecuritizing Strangeness: Vernacular Counter-Narratives of Border Security Appendix 1: Moderators' Discussion Guide Appendix 2: List of Focus Groups","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732827025751,"sku":"9780198882695","price":27.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198882695.jpg?v=1719998572"},{"product_id":"at-europes-edge-migration-and-crisis-in-the-mediterranean-9780198881827","title":"At Europes Edge Migration and Crisis in the","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mediterranean Sea is now the deadliest region in the world for migrants. Although the death toll has been rising for many years, the EU response remains fragmented and short sighted. Politicians frame these migration flows as an unprecedented crisis and emphasize migration control at the EU''s external boundaries. In this context, At Europe''s Edge investigates why the EU prioritizes the fortification of its external borders; why migrants nevertheless continue to cross the Mediterranean and to die at sea; and how EU member states on the southern periphery respond to their new role as migration gatekeepers. The book addresses these questions by examining the relationship between the EU and Malta, a small state with an outsized role in migration politics as EU policies place it at the crosshairs of migration flows and controls. The chapters combine ethnographic methods with macro-level analyses to weave together policymaker, practitioner, and migrant experiences, and demonstrate how the Mediterranean is an important space for the contested construction of ''Europe''. This book provides rich insight into the unexpected level of influence Malta exerts on EU migration governance, as well as the critical role migrants and their clandestine journeys play in animating EU and Maltese migration policies, driving international relations, and producing Malta''s political power.

Meanwhile, journalists, politicians, and cultural authorities use the term with increasing frequency when describing contemporary global migration. But what does diaspora mean? Until recently, the term referred principally to the dispersal and exile of the Jews. However, over the course of the twentieth century, involuntary migrants from Armenia, Africa, and Ireland came to be seen as diasporic. Since the 1980s, diaspora has proliferated to a remarkable extent-to the point where it risks losing its coherence. If diaspora is merely a synonym for migration or ethnic group, why use the word at all? Kevin Kenny''s Very Short Introduction to diaspora examines the origins of diaspora as a concept, its changing meanings over time, its current popularity, and its strengths and limitations as an explanatory device. Mediating between the multiple definitions currently in use, the book proposes a flexible approach to diaspora that can provide insights into the motives for migration; the networks through which migrants travel; the political, economic, and cultural connections they form among themselves, with their homelands, and with fellow diasporans in other locations around the world; the idea of return to a homeland, sometimes literally but more often metaphorically; and recent developments concerning refugees and globalization. The argument ranges broadly across time and space, using examples drawn mainly from Jewish, African, Irish, and Asian history. Diaspora emerges not as a thing that can be measured but as a concept that helps people-migrants, scholars, and social commentators alike-to make sense of the experience of migration.

Umbria is known to most Americans for its picturesque rolling hills and medieval villages, but to the many migrant Moroccan men who travel there, Umbria is better known for the tobacco fields, construction sites, small industries, and the outdoor weekly markets where they work. Marginalized and far from their homes, these men turn to Moroccan traditions of music and poetry that evoke the countryside they have left l-arubiya, or the rural. In this book, Alessandra Ciucci takes us inside the lives of Moroccan workers, unpacking the way they share a particular musical style of the rural to create a sense of home and belonging in a foreign and inhospitable nation. Along the way, she uncovers how this culture of belonging is not just the product of the struggles of migration, but also tied to the reclamation of a noble and virtuous masculine identity that is inaccessible to Moroccan migrants in Italy.

Examining closely the policies and practices of various European states, Farer draws on their experience, contrasts it with that of the United States, and provides a detailed strategy for addressing the issues of who should be allowed to enter, how migrant families should be integrated and cultural conflicts resolved.

Not everyone will embrace his prescriptions but all will benefit from his thoughtful defense of liberal nationalism. His book sets the standard for thoughtful and eloquent commentary on the age's most inflammatory subject.' José E.

Claudio Grossman, Member of the UN International Law Commission, Dean Emeritus at American University\u003cbr\u003e'An indispensable response to the migration challenge that is at once humane and intelligently sensitive to the delicate issues at stake.

Richard Falk, Princeton University, New Jersey and author of Power Shift: On the New Global Order\u003cbr\u003e'The moderate center in American and European politics is bleeding votes to the right and the left because it has failed to come up with realistic policies on migration. Tom Farer, a distinguished human rights defender and international lawyer, addresses this challenge head-on with a witty, erudite, and passionate defense of a 'liberalism with borders' – a migration policy that reconciles human rights and national sovereignty in a tough-minded yet compassionate synthesis which deserves to redefine the debate on this key issue in modern politics.' Michael Ignatieff, President and Rector, Central European University, Budapest\u003cbr\u003e'Tom Farer's deeply researched, elegantly written, and humane book Migration and Integration confronts the question of how well-to-do, well-functioning countries in the North, particularly in Europe, should cope with the migration crisis. What should they do about the large numbers of people of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds who are leaving or fleeing turbulent, dangerous, and impoverished countries of the Global South to settle among them? Should the countries of the North accommodate the 'looming wave' of migrants? Can Europe's predominantly secular societies absorb and integrate millions of Muslim migrants while maintaining the best attributes of their own societies, including those that have become liberal cultural norms? Professor Farer is unblinking in describing the difficulties. He does not evade any hard questions. Asserting that 'My highest priority is the survival of liberal democracy, an outcome by no means assured', his thoughtful answers are based on that priority. Tom Farer's important book is essential reading for those who share that priority.' Aryeh Neier, Open Society Foundations and Founding Director of Human Rights Watch\u003cbr\u003e'Tom Farer has produced … the best possible statement of the liberal nationalist approach to migration and integration. It is, as it claims, 'liberalism without tears, conservatism without hate'.
