The University of Chicago Press The Politics of Belonging
Book SynopsisThe United States is once again experiencing a major influx of immigrants. Rather than simply characterizing Americans as either nativist or nonnativist, this book argues that controversies over immigration policy are best understood as questions of political membership and belonging to the nation.Trade Review"Theoretically rich and innovative, The Politics of Belonging tackles its subject matter in an original and thought-provoking manner, deftly weaving a historical narrative of the creation of America's immigration laws with the country's racial hierarchy."

The University of Chicago Press The Remittance Landscape
Book SynopsisImmigrants in the United States send more than $20 billion every year back to Mexico - one of the largest flows of such remittances in the world. The author offers the first extended look at what is done with that money, and in particular how the building boom that it has generated has changed Mexican towns and villages.Trade Review"Lopez breaks new ground in her study of the remittance landscape in all sorts of important ways. She provocatively links the rural and the urban, the north and the south, and her sympathy for her subjects is clear as she weaves into her narrative an unsparing analysis of Mexican state policy. The devastating consequences unfold, chapter by chapter, as Lopez shows how a traditional landscape is destroyed and social inequalities further embedded, further ingrained rather than remedied."

The University of Chicago Press Affective Circuits African Migrations to Europe
Book SynopsisThe influx of African migrants into Europe in recent years has raised important issues about changing labor economies, new technologies of border control, and the effects of armed conflict. But attention to such broad questions often obscures a fundamental fact of migration: its effects on ordinary life. Affective Circuits brings together essays by an international group of well-known anthropologists to place the migrant family front and center. Moving between Africa and Europe, the book explores the many ways migrants sustain and rework family ties and intimate relationships at home and abroad. It demonstrates how their quotidian efforts on such a mass scale contribute to a broader process of social regeneration. The contributors point to the intersecting streams of goods, people, ideas, and money as they circulate between African migrants and their kin who remain back home. They also show the complex ways that emotions become entangled in these exchanges. Examining how these circuits operate in domains of social life ranging from child fosterage to binational marriages, from coming-of-age to healing and religious rituals, the book also registers the tremendous impact of state officials, laws, and policies on migrant experience. Together these essays paint an especially vivid portrait of new forms of kinship at a time of both intense mobility and ever-tightening borders.

The University of Chicago Press Pathways of Desire
Book SynopsisWith Pathways of Desire, Hector Carrillo brings us into the lives of Mexican gay men who have left their home country to pursue greater sexual autonomy and sexual freedom in the United States. The groundbreaking ethnography brings our attention to the full arc of these men's migration experiences, from their upbringing in Mexican cities and towns, to their cross-border journeys, to their incorporation into urban gay communities in American cities, and their sexual and romantic relationships with American men. These men's diverse and fascinating stories demonstrate the intertwining of sexual, economic, and familial motivations for migration. Further, Carrillo shows that sexual globalization must be regarded as a bidirectional, albeit uneven, process of exchange between countries in the global north and the global south. With this approach, Carrillo challenges the view that gay men from countries like Mexico would logically want to migrate to a more sexually enlightened country like the

The University of Chicago Press After They Closed the Gates Jewish Illegal
Book SynopsisIn 1921 and 1924, the United States passed laws to sharply reduce the influx of immigrants into the country. By allocating only small quotas to the nations of southern and eastern Europe, and banning almost all immigration from Asia, the new laws were supposed to stem the tide of foreigners considered especially inferior and dangerous. However, immigrants continued to come, sailing into the port of New York with fake passports, or from Cuba to Florida, hidden in the holds of boats loaded with contraband liquor. Jews, one of the main targets of the quota laws, figured prominently in the new international underworld of illegal immigration. However, they ultimately managed to escape permanent association with the identity of the illegal alien in a way that other groups, such as Mexicans, thus far, have not. InAfter They Closed the Gates,Libby Garland tells the untold stories of the Jewish migrants and smugglers involved in that underworld, showing how such stories contributed to growing national anxieties about illegal immigration. Garland also helps us understand how Jews were linked to, and then unlinked from, the specter of illegal immigration. By tracing this complex history, Garland offers compelling insights into the contingent nature of citizenship, belonging, and Americanness.

The University of Chicago Press Mobile Orientations
Book SynopsisDespite continued public and legislative concern about sex trafficking across international borders, the actual lives of the individuals involvedand, more importantly, the decisions that led them to sex workare too often overlooked. With Mobile Orientations, Nicola Mai shows that, far from being victims of a system beyond their control, many contemporary sex workers choose their profession as a means to forge a path toward fulfillment. Using a bold blend of personal narrative and autoethnography, Mai provides intimate portrayals of sex workers from sites including the Balkans, the Maghreb, and West Africa who decided to sell sex as the means to achieve a better life. Mai explores the contrast between how migrants understand themselves and their work and how humanitarian and governmental agencies conceal their stories, often unwittingly, by addressing them all as helpless victims. The culmination of two decades of research, Mobile Orientations sheds new light on the desires and ambit

The University of Chicago Press American Value
Book SynopsisEl Salvador emerged from a brutal civil war in 1992 to find much of its national income coming from a massive emigrant workforce that earns money in the US. This book examines this new way of life as it extends across two places: Intipuca, a Salvadoran town, and the Washington, DC, home to the second largest population Salvadorans in the US.Trade Review"American Value is an original and ambitious book. Apart from his transnational subject - relations between El Salvador and the United States - David Pedersen seeks to throw light on how dominant interpretations of that history are generated and then overturned by the kind of in-depth analysis his research makes possible. If this were not enough, he aspires to throw light on the coevolution of the United States and Central America, including wars linking the two; and he has some theoretical axes to grind, as well."

The University of Chicago Press Defectives in the Land Disability and
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Baynton, challenging the conventional historiography, argues that the selective phase of American immigration policy, despite its heavy reliance on the sensible-sounding ‘public charge’ standard, was no less discriminatory. During those years, he demonstrates, immigration officials could and did customarily invoke this standard to rule out such ‘defectives’ as women unaccompanied by male providers and members of races with supposed ‘predispositions’ to criminality. Even those with ‘objective’ physical impairments (as the Americans with Disabilities Act would underscore many years later) were incapable of work only if you made certain assumptions about how workplaces were to be structured. So beware ‘reasonable’ justifications for immigration policies, Baynton warns.” * New York Times *“Focusing on immigrant experiences in New York, Baynton explains how ideas about genetics, disability, race, family life, and employment worked together to exclude an extraordinarily diverse range of men and women from the shores of the US.” * New Scientist *“In Defectives in the Land, Baynton extends his groundbreaking inquiries into how we’ve arrived at what we think of as disability in contemporary America. Baynton’s is an elegant and incisive analysis of the ways our developing nation evolved cultural practices and attitudes to make ‘disability’ a concept that gave meaning and status to people who have illnesses, industrial injuries, military wounds, or simply the unexpected forms of human variation life presents. Baynton presents us with the familiar history of American modernization as the creation of modern disability, showing us the shifting criteria for what counts a human ‘defect’ and what that means in the lives of people who bear such stigma.” * Rosemarie Garland-Thomson, Emory University *“A well-researched, original, and engaging study. Baynton argues that historians of North American immigration have failed to appreciate the importance of disability in the web of immigration restriction. To correct this failure, he maintains that disability joined race, disease, ‘poor physique,’ and poverty to form the ingredients of ‘degeneracy.’ Beautifully written and based on rigorous scholarship, Defectives in the Land will be of great importance and interest to historians of immigration and disability—and beyond.” * James W. Trent, Gordon College *“Defectives in the Land is a supple example of the ways that ‘disability’ has never been a term with a singular or unified meaning, but a term that has been—and continues to be—misused, abused, and exploited by a range of historical actors and institutions for their own ends. By using deliberately loaded conceptual categories—defective, handicapped, ugly, dependent—to organize his chapters, Baynton’s book opens up the deep interrelationships between disability and familiar analytical categories within immigration history, social history, and political history.” * David Serlin, University of California, San Diego *“In this slim volume, Douglas C. Baynton forcefully and convincingly argues that, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, U.S. immigration law and policy had as its core purpose the exclusion of “defective” immigrants who failed to meet eugenic standards of physical, mental, and moral fitness. In doing so, he successfully challenges standard historical interpretations. . .It is a “must read” for historians of immigration.” * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1 Defective 2 Handicapped 3 Dependent 4 Ugly Conclusion Notes Index

The University of Chicago Press Argonauts of West Africa Unauthorized Migration
Book SynopsisTrade Review"The book is a sophisticated and detailed account of the social aspects of African migrants’ lives in precarious contexts. The stories of the different protagonists enable us to look anew at the meaning of kinship and its importance for personhood and social identity formation in contemporary Europe. They advance our understanding of the usefulness of theories on kinship, the family and friendship in the context of migration. As such, the book is a very valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers who are interested to learn about migration, kinship and social inequality." * Ethnic and Racial Studies *“In this sophisticated, original, and wonderfully detailed ethnography of migrants’ lives, Andrikopoulos shows how the creative possibilities of kinship provide a highly flexible resource for migrants to ‘craft’ documented selves and settle in Europe. In so doing, he illuminates both the expansive and generative possibilities of kinship and its continued pertinence as a means of resisting state efforts to control migration and citizenship.” * Janet Carsten, University of Edinburgh *“A lively account of how undocumented migrants in Amsterdam use kinship as they seek to establish themselves in the context of the Dutch state’s efforts to control immigration and increasing migrant precarity. With its detailed narratives, fresh perspectives, and important research, Argonauts of West Africa will be of interest to scholars of Africa, Europe, and migration—and, of course, kinship.” * Jennifer Cole, coeditor of Affective Circuits: African Migrations to Europe and the Pursuit of Social Regeneration *“This is a fascinating ethnography of West African nimble-footedness. It explores and explains ties and thirsts that defy the European logic and practice of containment of mobility and the incompleteness that fuels it.” * Francis B.

McGill-Queen's University Press Strangers to Neighbours
Book SynopsisAs a leading country in global refugee resettlement, Canada operates a unique program that allows private groups and individuals to sponsor refugees. This innovative approach has received growing international attention, but there remains a need for a more expansive understanding of the sponsorship framework and its potential implications within Canada and across the world. Strangers to Neighbours explains the origins and development of refugee sponsorship, paying particular attention to the unintended consequences and ethical dilemmas it produces for refugee policy. The contributors to this collection draw upon law, social science, and philosophy to bring a more robust and objective perspective on Canada''s historical experience with sponsorship into wider conversations about the refugee crisis and resettlement. Together, they present recent cases that exemplify how the model has been applied and how it functions, while also analyzing the challenges that emerge in host-sponsor relatioTrade Review"There is both a hunger and a need for a book of this depth and breadth on the topic of private sponsorship given the current global interest in the role of community sponsors in resettlement. The chapters in Strangers to Neighbours provide a rich and varied overview of private sponsorship from numerous perspectives, making a significant contribution to our surprisingly shallow understanding on the subject." Michaela Hynie, York University"The contributors to this edited collection—scholars and practitioners with expertise in law, social science, and philosophy—provide a rich and varied overview and assessment of the success and sustainability of PRS. In 15 relatively short chapters, these authors tackle a number of topics: the legislative framework and historical trajectory of PRS; the relationship between private sponsors and government; the integration and relationship-building aspects of refugee sponsorship; and the risks and unintended consequences of resettlement, including ethical dilemmas that PRS creates with respect to broader/global refugee protection goals."

McGill-Queen's University Press Send Them Here
Book SynopsisThe United States and Canada have historically accepted approximately three-quarters of resettled refugees, leading the world in this key aspect of global refugee protection. Between 1945 and 1980, both countries transformed their previous policies of refugee deterrence into expansive resettlement programs. Explanations for this shift have typically focused on Cold War foreign policy, but there was a domestic force that propelled the rise of resettlement: religious groups.In Send Them Here Geoffrey Cameron explains the genesis and development of refugee resettlement policy in North America through the lens of the essential role played by faith-based organizations. Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish groups led advocacy efforts for refugees after the Second World War, and they cooperated with each other and their respective governments to implement the first formal resettlement programs. Those policy frameworks laid the foundation for diverging policy trajectories in each cTrade Review"Send Them Here is an outstanding book, and one that is sure to have immediate impact on the study of religion, politics, immigration, and refugee policy in twentieth-century North America. In the age of Trump populism, with immigration policy front and centre in a polarized US political climate, and faith-based organizations fighting on both sides of the divide, Geoffrey Cameron's book provides us with a long view of how we got to this contested moment. Send Them Here is a brilliantly researched, sharply argued, and compellingly written book that political scientists and historians alike will celebrate as an innovative and important intervention." Darren Dochuk, University of Notre Dame and author of Anointed with Oil: How Christianity and Crude Made Modern America“Send Them Here: Religion, Politics and Refugee Resettlement in North America is an impressive, ambitious, and multifocal study that scholars will find valuable as a comprehensive analysis of refugee resettlement policy.” Church History

McGill-Queen's University Press Indentured Servitude
Book SynopsisAnna Suranyi provides new insight into the lives of hundreds of thousands of British and Irish men, women, and children crossed the Atlantic during the seventeenth century as indentured servants.Trade Review"Indentured Servitude is an important contribution to the social, legal, and labour history of the British colonies. Suranyi walks her readers through the many points of the indenture process, the experience of a variety of servants, masters' treatment of different groups of servants in the colonies, servants' means of recourse against abusive masters, and life after servitude, while also directing them to the important connections between servitude and the evolving understanding of citizenship." Patrick O'Brien, Kennesaw State University“Suranyi’s work provides us with a picture of an era of horrific cruelty preceding and overlapping with the barbarity of slavery. She does not fail to impress upon the reader the difference between servants and the enslaved. Indentured Servitude will be useful to those teaching the seventeenth century, for in depicting the lives of people the same age as our students, the history will resonate and help move them toward empathy with those who suffer exploitation, then and now.” Agricultural History“Indentured Servitude encourages readers to grapple with important yet difficult questions on inequality and unfreedom to help illuminate changing conceptions of rights, oppression, and exclusion in a society that would later—and contradictorily—champion democratic ideals.” William and Mary Quarterly“The text will be accessible to a broad range of audiences, as the individual stories, ranging from poignant to bizarre, breathe life into and paint a complex picture of the indenture experience.” The American Historical Review

Columbia University Press Banished to the Homeland
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA provocative, timely, and quite moving work. It explains, in well-textured and clear-eyed detail, how the dreams of so many Dominican immigrants have been turned into nightmares by the grim realities of the U.S. criminal and deportation systems. David C. Brotherton and Luis Barrios have crafted a significant contribution to the emerging fields of deportation and post-deportation studies that should be read by all who care about these widely misunderstood yet most important and compelling subjects. -- Daniel Kanstroom, Boston College Law School The main strength of this book lies in its humanity. We are introduced to living, breathing humans with serious stigmatization problems, haunting memories of their homeland, and implacable public institutions that dispense work, education, health care, and social justice. Witnessing the emigres struggle through these problems is the book's crowning achievement. -- Mark Hamm, author of Terrorism as Crime: From Oklahoma City to Al-Qaeda and Beyond When it comes to the public sentiment about immigration, there has been more rhetoric than reason. This is particularly true with America's deportation policies. We devise and carry out our works as though those who area affected are not really people. Brotherton and Barrios do a superb job of putting a human face on this cold, intentionally harsh practice. With a stunningly ambitious methodology and an astonishing depth of analysis, this book is a convincing indictment of the way we use deportation as a tool of control and how it so profoundly fails to reflect core American values of fairness and equality. It is an easy read, and yet is also an important study for anyone concerned about the social meaning of today's globalized capitalism. -- Todd R. Clear, dean, School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University Banished to the Homeland promises to be a new classic in the field of ethnographic studies of marginality. By focusing on the tragedy of Dominicans criminalized and banished to an often half-forgotten 'home country,' Brotherton and Barrios have pointed the spotlight on a range of events that are becoming increasingly more common within a globalized world. In the Americas, Europe, or Asia, 'the law' of the colonizers acts like a sort of Moloch continuously feeding itself on and at the same time expelling the 'human waste' of the internal colonization processes. A veritable sociological tour de force but also a crucially topical political expose. -- Dario Melossi, University of Bologna Tracking the consequences of the US's punitive deportation policies on a group of Dominican immigrants, Brotherton and Barrios's groundbreaking study is a searing indictment of the devastation, the hypocrisy, the cruelty and the all-too-human consequences that these policies inflict on individuals and communities. Banished to the Homeland describes in unflinching detail how the American Dream--with help from our legislature and our security apparatus--continues to devour precisely those people who need that dream the most. An important necessary book. -- Junot Diaz, Massachusetts Institute of Technology The deportation of Dominican immigrants back to their land of origin predates the 1996 US Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act, but since the promulgation of that fateful legislation, the number of deportees has skyrocketed, lately reaching the rate of 300 persons per month. Similarly, the array of reasons causing these immigrants to deserve removal from American society has widened, often including minor offenses. Rarely will the lives of the individuals thus punished by US justice find closure upon returning to their ancestral country. There they frequently endure additional punishment, ostracism, and abuse at the hands of Dominican authorities. Many times they do not know the land of their birth, having lived away from it since childhood, having grown up and received their education in the United States. The country of birth in many cases becomes the land of their displacement, which gives a special poignancy to the title of this necessary book by David C. Brotherton and Luis Barrios. The Dominican Republic becomes for them a land of banishment, and their lives there continue the story of uprooting and exile that began with their original departure from the native country when they first left. After exposure to the human drama of Dominican deportees captured in this timely study by Brotherton and Barrios it will be difficult to think of them ever again as merely statistical cifers. -- Silvio Torres-Saillant, Syracuse University A must read for anyone concerned with immigration, transnational ties, the criminal justice system, and human rights. -- Tiffany D. Joseph Contemporary Sociology ...an excellent discussion of another group of transnational people whose history is still being charted: Dominican deportees caught over the last few decades between the United States and the Dominican Republic. -- Aaron Coy Moulton Journal of Latin American StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis absorbing anthology features in-depth portraits of diverse ethnic populations, revealing the surprising new realities of immigrant life in twenty-first-century New York City.Trade ReviewOne Out of Three is the indispensable guide to the ethnic kaleidoscope that is twenty-first century New York. Filled with well-written and fascinating essays from a variety of disciplines, this is a volume to be valued by scholars and students alike. -- Roger Waldinger, Distinguished Professor, Department of Sociology, UCLA One Out of Three is a marvelous achievement: it is a thematically coherent, conceptually clear, and methodically rigorous state-of-the-art work on what makes New York the world's beacon for immigration. If you are interested in how immigrants are re-making our country and how our country remakes immigrants into Americans this book is a must read. -- Marcelo M. Suarez-Orozco, Dean and Distinguished Professor of Education at UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, co-founded and co-directed the Harvard Immigration Projects and Immigration Studies at NYU Nancy Foner, a leading scholar of immigration, has edited an excellent collection of essays. Because of the importance of New York in the story of immigration and the quality of the essays, her book should be read by persons interested in the ongoing immigration to the United States. -- David Reimers, Professor Emeritus of History at New York University, co author of All the Nations Under Heaven: An Ethnic and Racial History of New York City and The World Comes to America: Immigration to the United States Since 1945 In One Out of Three, Nancy Foner deftly deploys both ethnographic accounts of lived experience as well as nuanced reflections of macro-level processes to capture the ways that recent and not-so-recent arrivals have altered America's largest city and transformed their own lives while doing so. Written with abundant sensitivity to the human experience, the book portrays immigrants' energy, hope and perseverance as well as their frustrations, conflicts and anguish. It informs readers of both the momentary concerns and longstanding goals which epitomize the rhythms of these new New Yorkers' lives--from food and politics, to religion and music, to establishing new identities and retaining connections to home. At the same time, the book also delivers important conclusions about the long-term and wide-ranging impact of New York's enduring encounter with immigrants. Such lessons are emphasized in the editor's introduction and in comparative chapters on demographic change, immigrants in the economy, and the fate of the second generation. Fascinating and accessible, yet also informed by cutting-edge research and theory, One Out of Three is a must-read for students and scholars of international migration and for anyone seeking to comprehend the ongoing transformation of American society. -- Steven J. Gold, Professor of Sociology, Michigan State University. author, The Store in the Hood: A Century of Business and Conflict; Editor, The International Handbook of Migration Studies (2013, with Stephanie J. Nawyn, co-editor) Most New Yorkers today are immigrants or children of immigrants, and more diverse than ever before. The nation's largest city is endlessly a dynamo of re-invention. This indispensable collection or original essays tells the tangled tale of New York's latest transformation -- and of the metamorphosis of its newcomers into the newest New Yorkers -- with verve and telling detail. -- Ruben G. Rumbaut, co-author of Immigrant America: A Portrait, and Legacies: The Story of the Immigrant Second Generation Impressive New York Times The book effectively enhances and broadens perspectives perhaps not yet fully captured and crystallized within the contemporary US. immigration debate... Recommended. Choice Foner, a widely and justly admired scholar of immigration, brings together essays by top experts on New York's immigrant groups.
