Brill Regional Integration and Migration in Africa: Lessons from Southern and West Africa
Book SynopsisThis comparative book debates migration and regional integration in the two regional economic blocs, namely the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The book takes a historical and nuanced citizenship approach to integration by analysing regional integration from the perspective of non-state actors and how they negotiate various structures and institutions in their pursuit for life and livelihood in a contemporary context marked by mobility and economic fragmentation.Trade Review[...] 'This volume offers a review of the literature on regional integration with an emphasis on Africa. Close attention is paid to the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Southern African Development Community (SADC), both of which have 15 member states. In addition to looking at ECOWAS's and SADC's policies and protocols, the authors present a field study in four countries, two in each region (West and Southern Africa). They aim to emphasize people-centered regional integration, looking at nonprofessional migrants rather than elites. There are frequent references to the "resilient economy," which is not the same as the informal economy. Supplemented by in-chapter references, this book provides a unique perspective on regional integration in Africa.' J. E.

Brill Regional Integration in Africa: What Role for South Africa?
Book SynopsisIn Regional Integration in Africa: What Role for South Africa, Henri Bah, Siphamandla Zondi and André Mbata Mangu reflect on African integration and the contribution of post-Apartheid South Africa. From their different scientific backgrounds, they demonstrate that despite some progress made under the African Union that superseded the Organisation of African Unity, Africa is still lagging behind in terms of regional integration and South Africa, which benefitted from the rest of the continent in her struggle against apartheid, has not as yet played a major role in this process. Apart from contributing to advancing knowledge, the book is a recommended read for all those interested in African regional integration and the relationships between Africa and post-Apartheid South Africa. Contributors are Henri Bah, André Mbata Mangu and Siphamandla Zondi.

Brill Theology and Migration
Book SynopsisIn an age of global migration, how should Christian theologians and church leaders respond to its various challenges and problems? What is a fundamental theological framework with which we are to engage in them? In this volume, Ilsup Ahn attempts to answer these questions by presenting a “Trinitarian theology of migration.” In doing so, he first provides an overview of recent theological works on migration by introducing their key theological insights. A Trinitarian theology of migration becomes possible as we begin to see that the three Sacred Persons (the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit) are distinctively, yet intrinsically involved with the phenomenon of human migration within God’s grand vision of liberation and redemption. From a Trinitarian theological perspective, in all stages of human migration from taking leave to getting integrated, migrants and citizens are called to join in God’s liberative and redemptive works for all the people of God.

Brill The Power of the Dispersed: Early Modern Global Travelers beyond Integration
Book SynopsisEarly modern travelers often did not form part of classic ‘diaspora’ communities: they frequently never really settled, perhaps remaining abroad for some time in one place, then traveling further; not ‘blown by the wind,’ but by changing and complex conditions that often turned out to make them unwelcome anywhere. The dispersed developed strategies of survival by keeping their distance from old and new temporary ‘homes,’ as well as by using information from and manipulating foreign representations of their former countries. This volume assembles case studies from the Mediterranean context, the Americas and Japan. They explore what kind of ‘power(s)’ and agency dispersed people had, counterintuitively, through the connections they maintained with their former homes, and through those they established abroad.

Brill My Body Was Left on the Street: Music Education
Book SynopsisDisplacement, relocation, dissociation: each of these terms elicits images of mass migration, homelessness, statelessness, or outsiderness of many kinds, too numerous to name. This book aims to create opportunities for scholars, practitioners, and silenced voices to share theories and stories of progressive and transgressive music pedagogies that challenge the ways music educators and learners think about and practice their arts relative to displacement. Displacement is defined as encompassing all those who have been forced away from their locations by political, social, economic, climate, and resource change, injustice, and insecurity. This includes: - refugees and internally displaced persons; - forced migrants; - indigenous communities who have been forced off their traditional lands; - people who have fled homes because of their gender identity and sexual orientation; - imprisoned individuals; - persons who seek refuge for reasons of domestic and social violence; - homeless persons and others who live in transient spaces; - the disabled, who are relocated involuntarily; and - the culturally dispossessed, whose languages and heritage have been taken away from them. In the context of the first ever book on displacement and music education, the authors connect displacement to what music might become to those peoples who find themselves between spaces, parted from the familiar and the familial. Through, in, and because of a variety of musical participations, they contend that displaced peoples might find comfort, inclusion, and welcome of some kinds either in making new music or remembering and reconfiguring past musical experiences.

Brill The Memorykeepers: Gendered Knowledges, Empires, and Indonesian American History
Book SynopsisDorothy Fujita-Rony’s The Memorykeepers: Gendered Knowledges, Empires, and Indonesian American History examines the importance of women's memorykeeping for two Toba Batak women whose twentieth-century histories span Indonesia and the United States, H.L.Tobing and Minar T. Rony. This book addresses the meanings of family stories and artifacts within a gendered and interimperial context, and demonstrates how these knowledges can produce alternate cartographies of memory and belonging within the diaspora. It thus explores how women’s memorykeeping forges integrative possibility, not only physically across islands, oceans, and continents, but also temporally, across decades, empires, and generations. Thirty-five years in the making, The Memorykeepers is the first book on Indonesian Americans written within the fields of US history, American Studies, and Asian American Studies. See inside the book.Trade Review“This book makes significant contributions to Asian American studies, studies of empire and colonialism, US Cold War history, women’s history, and gender studies. Dorothy B. Fujita-Rony marshals a wealth of evidence from personal narratives and material culture to reveal how women’s “memorykeeping” constitutes a practice of resistance and critique. Her study illuminates the workings of multiple empires in the everyday life of two Toba Batak women, H.L. Tobing and Minar T. Rony, making visible the intertwined forces of gender and empire." - Valerie Matsumoto, University of California, Los Angeles "Dr. Dorothy B. Fujita-Rony’s book, The Memorykeepers: Gendered Knowledges, Empires, and Indonesian American History, is an original and pioneering manuscript in the field of Indonesian American Studies. Particularly valuable is how the scholarship highlights women’s memorykeeping across time and space.

Brill Migrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers in Latin America
Book SynopsisScholarship on ethnicity in modern Latin America has traditionally understood the region’s various societies as fusions of people of European, indigenous, and/or African descent. These are often deployed as stable categories, with European or “white” as a monolith against which studies of indigeneity or blackness are set. The role of post-independence immigration from eastern and western Europe—as well as from Asia, Africa, and Latin-American countries—in constructing the national ethnic landscape remains understudied. The contributors of this volume focus their attention on Jewish, Arab, non-Latin European, Asian, and Latin American immigrants and their experiences in their “new” homes. Rejecting exceptionalist and homogenizing tendencies within immigration history, contributors advocate instead an approach that emphasizes the locally- and nationally-embedded nature of ethnic identification.Trade Review"This edited volume presents a useful contribution to the migration history of Latin America, situated squarely in the transdisciplinary field of migration studies and following the equally interesting 2017 volume by two of the coeditors. (...) Among the most fascinating chapters are the three that focus on inter-American migratory flows by addressing US immigrants in Costa Rica, Colombian women in Ecuador (many of whom received asylum), and the Franco-Brazilian borderlands." - Edward Blumenthal, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, HAHR November 2021.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Contributors 1 Introduction Raanan Rein, Stefan Rinke, and David M.K.

Brill Coercive Geographies: Historicizing Mobility, Labor and Confinement
Book SynopsisResponding to the deteriorating situation of migrants today and the complex assemblages of the geographies they navigate, Coercive Geographies examines historical and contemporary forms of coercion and constraint exercised by a wide range of actors in diverse settings. It links the question of spatial confines to that of labor. This fraught nexus of mobility and work seems self-evidently relevant to explore. Coercive Geographies is our attempt to bring together space, precarity, labor coercion and mobility in an analytical lens. Precarity emerges in particular geographical and historical contexts, which are decisive for how it is shaped.

Brill Baghdadi Jewish Networks in the Age of Nationalism
Book SynopsisBaghdadi Jewish Networks in the Age of Nationalism traces the participation of Baghdadi Jews in Jewish transnational networks from the mid-nineteenth century until the mass exodus of Jews from Iraq between 1948 and 1951. Each chapter explores different components of how Jews in Iraq participated in global Jewish civil society through the modernization of communal leadership, Baghdadi satellite communities, transnational Jewish philanthropy and secular Jewish education. The final chapter presents three case studies that demonstrate the interconnectivity between different iterations of transnational Jewish networks. This work significantly expands our understanding of modern Iraqi Jewish society by going beyond its engagement with Arab/Iraqi nationalism or Zionism/anti-Zionism to explore Baghdadi participation within Jewish transnational networks.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Figures and Tables Abbreviations Transliteration Notes Introduction 1 Scholarship on the Jews of Iraq 2 Methods and Sources 3 Jewish Transnational Networks: Modernization, Globalization, and Secularization 4 The Jewish Communal Organization in Iraq 5 Outline 1 Nineteenth-Century Network and Connections 1 Secular Jewish Identity and Transnational Jewish Solidarity 2 Economic and Political Reforms 3 Nineteenth-Century European Influence: Iterations of Enlightenment 4 The Lay Council: Structural and Intellectual Forces of Modernity 5 Conclusions: Nineteenth-Century Networks and Innovations 2 Transnational Networks and the Baghdadi Diaspora 1 The Satellite Communities as a Baghdadi Diaspora 2 Historical Background 3 The Baghdadi Diaspora and Its Connection with Baghdad 4 Language Use and the Baghdadi Jewish Press 5 Financial Support and Philanthropy 6 Social Status and Mitigating Poverty 7 Changes in the Baghdadi World, 1941 to 1951 8 Conclusions: Lasting Influences in Baghdad 3 Transnational Jewish Philanthropy 1 Foreign Partners 2 Communal Budgets: A Mosaic of Actors 3 Conclusions: Philanthropic Diversity and Continuity 4 Jewish Education in Iraq 1 The Development of the Jewish School Network 2 Modern Jewish Schools 3 Curriculum: Multilingualism and Modernity 4 Linguistic Creativity and Cultural Diversity 5 Conclusions 5 Twentieth-Century Networks 1 Theosophy: Challenging Rabbinic Hegemony 2 E.

Brill The Memorykeepers: Gendered Knowledges, Empires,
Book SynopsisDorothy Fujita-Rony’s The Memorykeepers: Gendered Knowledges, Empires, and Indonesian American History examines the importance of women's memorykeeping for two Toba Batak women whose twentieth-century histories span Indonesia and the United States, H.L.Tobing and Minar T. Rony. This book addresses the meanings of family stories and artifacts within a gendered and interimperial context, and demonstrates how these knowledges can produce alternate cartographies of memory and belonging within the diaspora. It thus explores how women’s memorykeeping forges integrative possibility, not only physically across islands, oceans, and continents, but also temporally, across decades, empires, and generations. Thirty-five years in the making, The Memorykeepers is the first book on Indonesian Americans written within the fields of US history, American Studies, and Asian American Studies.Trade Review“This book makes significant contributions to Asian American studies, studies of empire and colonialism, US Cold War history, women’s history, and gender studies. Dorothy B. Fujita-Rony marshals a wealth of evidence from personal narratives and material culture to reveal how women’s “memorykeeping” constitutes a practice of resistance and critique. Her study illuminates the workings of multiple empires in the everyday life of two Toba Batak women, H.L. Tobing and Minar T. Rony, making visible the intertwined forces of gender and empire." - Valerie Matsumoto, University of California, Los Angeles "Dr. Dorothy B. Fujita-Rony’s book, The Memorykeepers: Gendered Knowledges, Empires, and Indonesian American History, is an original and pioneering manuscript in the field of Indonesian American Studies. Particularly valuable is how the scholarship highlights women’s memorykeeping across time and space. A work of this importance is long overdue." - Shirley Lim, State University of New York at Stony BrookTable of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Illustrations Note on Orthography and Names Introduction: Daughter of a Daughter: the Labor of Memorykeeping 1 Questions 2 The ‘Indonesian American’ Context 3 ‘Return’ and ‘Belonging’ Part 1: Empire and Gender 1 Empires:Interimperialism, Migration, and the United States 1 Introduction 2 When Empires Came to You: the Toba Batak 3 Multilingualism and Interimperial Temporality 4 The United States Cold War 5 Conclusion 2 Gendered Knowledges:Patriarchies and the Politics of Belonging 1 Introduction 2 The Toba Batak Culture as Political Location 3 Colonial Domesticity 4 Converging Gender Hierarchies 5 Negotiation and Challenge 6 Conclusion Part 2: Curating Time 3 Stories and Silences: Telling the Past 1 Introduction 2 Searching for Archives 3 What Is Said 4 What Is Not Said 5 Two Pictures 6 Conclusion 4 Artifacts and Memories: Representing Meaning 1 Introduction 2 Knowledge as Legacy 3 Memorykeeping as Response to Precarity 4 The Labor of Artifacts 5 Conclusion Part 3: Memorykeeping Prologue to Part 3: A Journey and a Path 5 Across Empires: The Narrative of H.L.

Brill The Psychology of Migration: Facing Cultural and Religious Diversity
Book SynopsisThis book forms an introduction to the emerging discipline of “psychology of migration”, which is an interdisciplinary field of reflection and research, joining together diverse subfields of psychology with anthropological, sociological, demographic and historical inquiry on migration processes. The introductory chapter marks the borders of this borderline discipline, defines important notions and the subject of inquiry, and presents its main research themes together with prospective paths for the discipline’s development. The second chapter presents research methods applied in psychology of migration. Acculturation processes and their psychological analysis as well an impact on the mental health of migrants are the main topics of interest in the third chapter. The last chapter covers issues of mutual relations between religion and migration. Conclusive remarks on contemporary psychology of migration facing cultural and religious diversity in COVID-19 pandemic times are outlined, pointing at challenges the discipline will surely meet in the future.Table of ContentsAbstract Keywords 1 Introduction 2 Psychology of Migration – Crossing Borders as Seen from the Borderline (Discipline) 3 Research Methods in Psychology of Migration 4 Acculturation Processes and Mental Well-Being of Migrants as an Axis for Problem-Centered Psychology of Migration 5 A Look into the Future.

Brill Émigré Voices: Conversations with Jewish Refugees from Germany and Austria
Book SynopsisIn Émigré Voices Lewkowicz and Grenville present twelve oral history interviews with men and women who came to Britain as Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria in the late 1930s. Many of the interviewees rose to great prominence in their chosen career, such as the author and illustrator Judith Kerr, the actor Andrew Sachs, the photographer and cameraman Wolf Suschitzky, the violinist Norbert Brainin, and the publisher Elly Miller. The narratives of the interviewees tell of their common struggles as child or young adult refugees who had to forge new lives in a foreign country and they illuminate how each interviewee dealt with the challenges of forced emigration and the Holocaust. The voices of the twelve interviewees provide the reader with a unique and original source, which gives direct access to the lived multifaceted experience of the interviewees and their contributions to British culture.Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Introduction: The Exhibition Anthony Grenville The Interviews Bea Lewkowicz 1 Doris Balacs 2 Norbert Brainin 3 Anton Walter Freud 4 Richard Grunberger 5 Daisy Hoffner 6 Lucie Kaye (née Schachne) 7 Judith Kerr 8 Elly Miller 9 Lord Claus Moser, Baron Moser KCB CBE 10 Andrew Sachs 11 Hans Seelig 12 Wolfgang Suschitzky Index

Brill Across the Waves: Strategies of Belonging in Indian Ocean Island Societies
Book SynopsisAll the islands of the western Indian Ocean are immigrant societies: Austronesian seafarers, African slaves, Arab traders, South Asian indentured labourers and European plantation owners have all settled, some voluntarily, others less so, on Madagascar and Zanzibar, in the Mascarenes and the Comoros. Successive arrivals often struggle to establish their places in these societies, negotiating their way in the face of antipathy, resistance, even violence, as different claims to belonging conflict. The contributions to this volume take a selection of case studies from across the region, and from different perspectives, contributing to a theorisation of the concept of belonging itself.

Brill Chinese in France amid the Covid-19 Pandemic: Daily Lives, Racial Struggles and Transnational Citizenship of Migrants and Descendants
Book SynopsisThe day after the epidemic broke out in Wuhan, Chinese people in France are already busy sending masks across borders and sharing media information; at the same time, a significant number of Chinese people are victims of racist attacks, insults and discrimination in France. Based on both quantitative and qualitative empirical data, this book reveals the new dynamics and interactions generated by the Covid-19 pandemic not only between different sub-groups of Chinese in France, but also between ethnic Chinese and their both countries: China and France. Mutual aid, local or transnational solidarity, inclusion initiatives, like any act of exclusion and hostility, invite you to question the essence of humanity in transnational settings, beyond the racialization of the Covid-19 virus.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Tables and Figures Notes on Contributors Introduction: Between Two Worlds: the Chinese Diaspora in France during Covid-19 Simeng Wang and Francesco Madrisotti section 1: Everyday Practices and Daily Lives during the Pandemic 1 Multilingual Media Consumption by the Chinese People in France during the Covid-19 Pandemic Francesco Madrisotti and Simeng Wang 2 Out of Step: Preventive Measures among People of Chinese Origin in France during the Covid-19 Pandemic Simeng Wang and Francesco Madrisotti 3 Stress and Anxiety among the Chinese Population in France during the Covid-19 Pandemic: a Study Investigating Personal and Societal Factors Francesco Madrisotti and Simeng Wang 4 Between Safety and Health: How the Pandemic Reshaped Food Behaviors among Chinese People in France Simeng Wang, Francesco Madrisotti and Xiabing Chen 5 A Community Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic: Collective Actions by Chinese Residents of a Multiethnic Neighborhood in the Northern Suburbs of Paris Yong Li and Simeng Wang Section 2: Focus on Specific Chinese Populations in France during the Covid-19 Pandemic 6 Social Ties of Elderly Migrants during Covid-19: the Chinese in Paris Simeng Wang 7 Disruption in Study Abroad during the Pandemic: Chinese Students in France Yong Li, Ran Yan and Simeng Wang 8 Survival during the Pandemic and Coping with Risk: an Ethnography of Vulnerable Chinese Migrants Receiving Food Assistance Francesco Madrisotti, Ran Yan and Simeng Wang 9 Capitalizing on Opportunities during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Business Transitions among Chinese Entrepreneurs in France Simeng Wang and Xiabing Chen Section 3: Citizenship, Mobilization, and Relationship to the Home and Host Countries during the Covid-19 Pandemic 10 Anti-Asian Racism during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Experiences, Narratives, and Reactions Simeng Wang and Francesco Madrisotti 11 Caring for Compatriots during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Professional Practices by Health-Care Workers of Chinese Origin in France Simeng Wang 12 Transnational Solidarity during the Covid-19 Pandemic: the Chinese Diaspora in France Simeng Wang and Yong Li Conclusion Simeng Wang

Brill The Vietnamese Diaspora in a Transnational Context: Contested Spaces, Contested Narratives
Book SynopsisThe Vietnamese diaspora is now a truly global diaspora. This collection, one of the first of its kind, traces the Vietnamese diaspora’s multifaceted roots in late 19th and early 20th century French colonialism, the end of the War in Vietnam, and economic migrations to fellow communist states in the 1970s and 1980s. Out of these migrations, Vietnamese communities have now formed in many of the major immigrant receiving countries around the world. This collection traces the connection between the historically traumatic forms of dispersal from Vietnam and todays transnational Vietnamese communities. It considers questions about how conditions of exit from Vietnam shape Vietnamese diaspora identities and patterns of settlement and economic integration. It also addresses questions of how memory politics shape the ways in which various segments of the Vietnamese diaspora engage with contemporary Vietnam, and shape what is now an intergenerational diaspora.

Brill Imagining Latinidad: Digital Diasporas and Public Engagement Among Latin American Migrants
Book SynopsisImagining Latinidad examines how Latin American migrants use technology for public engagement, social activism, and to build digital, diasporic communities. Thanks to platforms like Facebook and YouTube, immigrants from Latin America can stay in contact with the culture they left behind. Members of these groups share information related to their homeland through discussions of food, music, celebrations, and other cultural elements. Despite their physical distance, these diasporic virtual communities are not far removed from the struggles in their homelands, and migrant activists play a central role in shaping politics both in their home country and in their host country.

Brill Conditional Freedom: Free Soil and Fugitive Slaves from the U.S. South to Mexico’s Northeast, 1803–1861
Book SynopsisWhile the literature on slave flight in nineteenth-century North America has commonly focused on fugitive slaves escaping to the U.S. North and Canada, Conditional Freedom provides new insights on the social and political geography of freedom and slavery in nineteenth-century North America by exploring the development of southern routes of escape from slavery in the U.S. South and the experiences of self-emancipated slaves in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. In Conditional Freedom, Thomas Mareite offers a social history of U.S. refugees from slavery, and provides a political history of the clash between Mexican free soil and the spread of slavery west of the Mississippi valley during the nineteenth-century.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Maps, Figures, and Tables Abbreviations Introduction 1 Free Soil and Spaces of Freedom in the Age of the Second Slavery 2 Historiographies and Insights 3 Sources and Outline Part 1: Fleeing Slavery 1 Experiencing Slavery, Imagining Freedom 1 Introduction 2 “A Spirit of Great Insubordination”: Mexico as Imagined Land of Freedom for African Americans 3 Relatives and Loved Ones 4 “Por maltrato”: The Second Slavery’s Violence and Serial Runaways 5 “Más mal que lo corriente”: Paternalism, (Broken) Compromises and Conflicts 6 The Intersection of Gender, Age and Qualifications 7 Conclusion 2 Geography, Mobility and Networks: Escaping through the US-Mexico Borderlands 1 Introduction 2 Easing Mobility: Spatial and Material Strategies 3 Abolitionists, Smugglers and Scapegoats 4 Cracking Down on Mobility: Legal and Extra-Legal Violence in the Borderlands 5 Conclusion Part 2: Crafting Freedom 3 Self-Liberated Slaves and Asylum in Northeastern Mexico, 1803–1836 1 Introduction 2 Slave Refugees in Late Colonial New Spain (1803–1821) 3 Self-Liberated Slaves in Early Independent Mexico (1821–1836) 4 Conclusion 4 “Mexico Was Free!

Brill Borders, Boundaries and Belonging in Post-Ottoman Space in the Interwar Period
Book SynopsisFocusing on new nation states and mandates in post-Ottoman territories, Borders, Boundaries and Belonging in Post-Ottoman Space in the Interwar Period examines how people negotiated, imagined or ignored new state borders and how they conceived of or constructed belonging. Through investigations of border crossing, population transfer, exile and emigration, this book explores the intricacies of survival within and beyond newly imposed state borders, the exploitation of opportunities and the human cost of political partition.

Brill Migrant Actors Worldwide: Capitalist Interests, State Regulations, and Left-Wing Strategies
Book Synopsis“Capital is moved to where low-wage labour is available, and migrants move – often in large numbers – to where investments and/or wealth accumulated due to specific historic factors create a demand for labour”. This volume explores this idea and contributes to the fields of global labour, working-class, and migration history by illuminating the lives of working people over the 19th and 20th centuries. The book's twenty authors discuss a wide range of topics, from capital investments in terms of the availability of low-wage labour and forced mobilization to gender discrimination.

Brill Imagining Latinidad: Digital Diasporas and Public Engagement Among Latin American Migrants
Book SynopsisImagining Latinidad examines how Latin American migrants use technology for public engagement, social activism, and to build digital, diasporic communities. Thanks to platforms like Facebook and YouTube, immigrants from Latin America can stay in contact with the culture they left behind. Members of these groups share information related to their homeland through discussions of food, music, celebrations, and other cultural elements. Despite their physical distance, these diasporic virtual communities are not far removed from the struggles in their homelands, and migrant activists play a central role in shaping politics both in their home country and in their host country. Contributors are: Amanda Arrais, Karla Castillo Villapudua, David S. Dalton, Jason H. Dormady, Carmen Gabriela Febles, Álvaro González Alba, Yunuen Ysela Mandujano-Salazar, Anna Marta Marini, Diana Denisse Merchant Ley, Covadonga Lamar Prieto, María del Pilar Ramírez Gröbli, David Ramírez Plascencia, Jessica Retis, Nancy Rios-Contreras, and Patria Román-Velázquez. Imagining Latinidad: Digital Diasporas and Public Engagement Among Latin American Migrants is now available in paperback for individual customers.

Brill Conditional Freedom: Free Soil and Fugitive Slaves from the U.S. South to Mexico’s Northeast, 1803–1861
Book SynopsisWhile the literature on slave flight in nineteenth-century North America has commonly focused on fugitive slaves escaping to the U.S. North and Canada, Conditional Freedom provides new insights on the social and political geography of freedom and slavery in nineteenth-century North America by exploring the development of southern routes of escape from slavery in the U.S. South and the experiences of self-emancipated slaves in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. In Conditional Freedom, Thomas Mareite offers a social history of U.S. refugees from slavery, and provides a political history of the clash between Mexican free soil and the spread of slavery west of the Mississippi valley during the nineteenth-century.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Maps, Figures, and Tables Abbreviations Introduction 1 Free Soil and Spaces of Freedom in the Age of the Second Slavery 2 Historiographies and Insights 3 Sources and Outline Part 1: Fleeing Slavery 1 Experiencing Slavery, Imagining Freedom 1 Introduction 2 “A Spirit of Great Insubordination”: Mexico as Imagined Land of Freedom for African Americans 3 Relatives and Loved Ones 4 “Por maltrato”: The Second Slavery’s Violence and Serial Runaways 5 “Más mal que lo corriente”: Paternalism, (Broken) Compromises and Conflicts 6 The Intersection of Gender, Age and Qualifications 7 Conclusion 2 Geography, Mobility and Networks: Escaping through the US-Mexico Borderlands 1 Introduction 2 Easing Mobility: Spatial and Material Strategies 3 Abolitionists, Smugglers and Scapegoats 4 Cracking Down on Mobility: Legal and Extra-Legal Violence in the Borderlands 5 Conclusion Part 2: Crafting Freedom 3 Self-Liberated Slaves and Asylum in Northeastern Mexico, 1803–1836 1 Introduction 2 Slave Refugees in Late Colonial New Spain (1803–1821) 3 Self-Liberated Slaves in Early Independent Mexico (1821–1836) 4 Conclusion 4 “Mexico Was Free!

Brill German-speaking Exiles in Ireland 1933-1945
Book SynopsisGerman-speaking Exiles in Ireland 1933-1945 is a pioneering study of the impact the German-speaking exiles of the Hitler years had on Ireland as the first large group of immigrants in the country in the twentieth century. It therefore adds an important yet hitherto virtually unknown Irish dimension to international exile studies. After providing an overview of the topic and an analysis of current developments in exile studies the volume devotes two chapters to Jewish refugees and another to the considerable number of Austrian exiles, investigates the relationship between Irish government policy and public opinion, and explores the problems of identity faced by so many in exile. It then focuses on some eminent refugees - Erwin Schrödinger, Ludwig Bieler, Robert Weil, Ernst Scheyer, and Hans Sachs - before concluding with personal accounts by Ruth Braunizer (the daughter of Erwin Schrödinger, excerpts from whose diaries are published here for the first time), Monica Schefold (the daughter of John Hennig), and Eva Gross. The fourteen contributors to the volume are Wolfgang Benz, Ruth Braunizer, John Cooke, Horst Dickel, Eva Gross, Gisela Holfter, Dermot Keogh, Wolfgang Muchitsch, Siobhán O'Connor, Hermann Rasche, Monica Schefold, Birte Schulz, Raphael V. Siev, and Colin Walker.Trade Review"…this is an excellent volume.

Brill Literature, Language, and Multiculturalism in Scandinavia and the Low Countries
Book SynopsisLiterature, Language, and Multiculturalism in Scandinavia and the Low Countries presents a ground-breaking comparative approach to the study of multicultural literature. Focusing on the development of migration literature in Sweden, Denmark, Flanders, and the Netherlands, the volume argues that the political and institutional preconditions for the development of ‘multicultural’ literatures are still given within the frame of the nation-state. As a consequence, both the field of ‘migration literature’ and the (multi-)lingual quality of literary texts are shaped differently in each state and in each language area. The volume delineates the development of multicultural literature in Scandinavia and the Low Countries as a function of the specific language situations in these countries as well as the various political, institutional, and discursive contexts. This book not only offers a comprehensive theoretical and methodological analysis of multilingualism and multicultural literature, but also provides overviews sketching the discourse on multiculturalism, language and the development of the literary field in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Flanders. Besides it presents a broad range of in-depth analyses of selected literary texts from each of these countries.Table of ContentsWolfgang Behschnitt, Sarah De Mul, Liesbeth Minnaard: Preface Theoretical and Methodological Reflections Wolfgang Behschnitt and Magnus Nilsson: “Multicultural Literatures” in a Comparative Perspective Elien Declercq and Michael Boyden: Multilingualism and Diglossia in Migration Literature: The Case of Flemish Songs in Northern France Discourses on Multiculturalism, Language and Literature in Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Flanders Magnus Nilsson: Literature in Multicultural and Multilingual Sweden: The Birth and Death of the Immigrant Writer Dörthe Gaettens: New Voices Wanted: The Search for a Danish Multicultural Literature Liesbeth Minnaard: Every Carpet a Flying Vehicle?

Brill Tracing the New Indian Diaspora
Book SynopsisThe growing importance of the Indian diaspora is felt today across the globe due to its emergence as the second-largest dias¬poric community. By examining historical, socio-cultural, economic, political, and lite¬rary aspects of the Indian diaspora, this volume sets out to trace the latest devel¬opments in the field of Indian diaspora studies. It brings together essays by Indian and foreign scholars, thus providing an authoritative platform for discussions in which identities and affiliations are con¬tested and constituted through the hier¬archies of cross-cultural migration in this increasingly globalized world. This volume traces the transnational network of the Indian diaspora, and will prove of interest to scholars working in the fields of the Indian diaspora, diaspora theory, and cultural studies. Countries covered include Mauritius, Fiji, Singapore, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada, Malaya, South Africa, and New Zealand.
