Migration, immigration and emigration Books

Book SynopsisItaly is Out is the fruit of the collaboration between Mario Badagliacca, the established documentary photographer, and the research team of ‘Transnationalizing Modern Languages: Mobility, Identity and Translation in Modern Italian Cultures’ (2014-16). This ARHC-funded project explored the implications of Italian migration in a global perspective tracing cultural transformations across borders, generations, and language. Badagliacca visited some of the project’s key locations conducting interviews with Italians or people of Italian descent before photographing them in familiar locations. The subjects of the portraits were invited to bring along three objects representing their attachment to Italy. The sheer variety of the objects which appear alongside the portraits suggest the diversity of the migrant experience. Photographs shot in London, New York, and Buenos Aires feature members of the historical Italian community, but also first generation migrants in search of opportunities not offered at home. A similar complexity emerges, more unexpectedly, in the postcolonial Italian communities of Tunis and Addis Abeba. The photographs are accompanied by essays written by members of the research team and people who have in some way participated in the project. Fiction, autobiography and academic reflection sit side by side adding to Badagliacca’s multifaceted exploration of Italians abroad.Trade Review‘Italy is Out, as the title suggests, oversteps the dichotomy of inside-outside by dismissing the idea of Italian migrants as inhabitants of a periphery far from the geographical centre... being Italian means to be part of this collective act of making kin between people and cultures, as the volume itself does by encompassing images and words authored by scholars, artists and migrants themselves. In an ongoing process of mirroring faces, stories and objects, Italy is Out is able to picture, also literally, the complex and dynamic culture of Italy throughout the last two centuries.’ Anna Finozzi, Annali d’ItalianisticaTable of ContentsMario Badagliacca and Derek Duncan: Introductory Note1) Mario Badagliacca, Myth proposes2) Nicoletta Vallorani, Magical Objects: pictures of Italians across the world3) Derek Duncan, 77214) Donna Gabbaccia, Seeing Diaspora5) Luci Callipari-Marcuzzo, Tracciando fili del passato (Tracing threads of the past)6) Edvige Giunta, Llammicu7) Charles Burdett, The Italian Community of Addis Ababa8) Shirin Ramzanali Fazel, My Beloved Stepmother9) Georgia Wall, Italian Migration/Personal Effects10) Barbara Spadaro, Italian Mobilities: A View from Tunis11) Jacopo Colombini, Fare l’italiano12) Margaret Hills de Zárate, The Multiple Lives of ThingsNotes on Contributors

Book SynopsisAutofiction: A Female Francophone Aesthetic of Exile explores the multiple aspects of exile, displacement, mobility, and identity as expressed in contemporary autofictional work written in French by women writers from across the francophone world. Drawing on postcolonial theory, gender theory, and autobiographical theory, the book analyses narratives of exile by six authors who are shaped by their multiple locales of attachment: Kim Lefèvre (Vietnam/France), Gisèle Pineau (Guadeloupe/mainland France), Nina Bouraoui (Algeria/France), Michèle Rakotoson (Madagascar/France), Véronique Tadjo (Côte d’Ivoire/France), and Abla Farhoud (Lebanon/Quebec). In this way, the book argues that the French colonial past continues to mould female articulations of mobility and identity in the postcolonial present.Responding to gaps in the critical discourse of exile, namely gender, this book brings genre in both its forms — gender and literary genre — to bear on narratives of exile, arguing that the reconceptualization of categories of mobility occurs specifically in women’s autofictional writing. The six authors complicate discussions of exile as they are highly mobile, hybrid subjects. This rootless existence, however, often renders them alienated and ‘out of place’. While ensuring not to trivialize the very real difficulties faced by those whose exile is not a matter of choice, the book argues that the six authors experience their hybridity as both a literal and a metaphorical exile, a source of both creativity and trauma.Trade Review“A compelling and lucid exploration of the female francophone aesthetics of exile in six contemporary authors, this is a fascinating and important intervention in theories of exile and francophone studies more widely.”Kathryn Robson, Newcastle UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroduction: Beyond Exile and the Limitations of Postcolonial Paradigms in Francophone Women’s WritingChapter One: Exile, Autofiction, and Women’s WritingChapter Two: Exile, Métissage, and Family Estrangement in Kim Lefèvre’s Autobiographical NarrativesChapter Three: Exile as a ‘Forced Choice’: War and Migration in Gisèle Pineau’s L’Exil selon JuliaChapter Four: The Four Problems of Nina BouraouiChapter Five: Madagascar: ‘A No-Woman’s-Land’?

Book SynopsisThis dynamic Handbook unpacks the entanglements between the two notions of home and migration, which illuminate the lived experiences of (in)voluntary mobilities and the contested terrain of inclusion and belonging.Drawing on cross-disciplinary contributions from leading international scholars, the Handbook advances research on the social study of home in relation to migration, refugee, displacement, and diaspora studies. It investigates the interplay between the notions of house and home, examining the relevance of home as a category of both analysis and practice. With a global and comparative range of case studies and examples, chapters bridge disciplines in unprecedented ways, exploring the existential, epistemological, and political implications of home for those struggling for it from afar and from the margins.Synthesising and systematising state-of-the-art research on home and migration, this groundbreaking Handbook will prove an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and researchers of sociology, anthropology, geography, and architecture. Practitioners and volunteers involved in social welfare, housing, informal social support, and mobilisations, for or by migrants and refugees, will also find this book of importance.Trade Review‘By focusing on home and its mutual entanglements with migration, this book brings fresh eyes to migration studies. What do voluntary and forced migrants lose with respect to home and how do they rebuild and transform it along their way? How does the ability to recreate the emotional, sensorial, and cultural dimensions of home vary across groups and what impact does this have on migrants’ ability to achieve some measure of inclusion and belonging? Bringing together an interdisciplinary team of eminent scholars from around the world, this book provides valuable insights and nuances our understanding of contemporary migration.’ -- Peggy Levitt, Wellesley College, US‘The home can seem so solid and fixed. But seen from the perspective of migration it is suddenly set in motion as the vehicle that might take the paths of homing or displacement, home making and unmaking, security and fragility, memory and affectivity. At the same time, a focus on the home as the point of reference for all these dynamic processes provides an ideal position from which to gain an empathetic grounding in the lived experience of migrants. With over fifty chapters, this volume is able to provide an unprecedented sense of the diversity of these experiences and the multiple contexts that need to be considered for a more comprehensive assessment of this relationship between migration and home.’ -- Daniel Miller, University College London, UK‘This impressive and comprehensive Handbook is the culmination of extensive work on the meaning of home directed by the editor. For migrants and refugees, feeling at home is a pressing and sometimes existential issue but, as the rich array of contributors show, creating a reassuring home in our crisis-ridden world is a problem we all face.’ -- Robin Cohen, University of Oxford, UK‘This exceptionally rich book about home and the activity of homing among migrants, empirically and theoretically wide-ranging, is bound to establish itself as the standard reference in the field. It also points ahead towards new conceptualisations of the home, certainly with respect to people on the move, but also in a general sense. Through its focus on people to whom the home is a precarious resource which has to be created, sometimes from scratch, the book raises fundamental questions about social life and belonging.’ -- Thomas Hylland Eriksen, University of Oslo, Norway‘This comprehensive, insightful, beautiful collection opens a window into the multiple, everyday meanings of “home” under conditions of migration and displacement. Exceptionally well-integrated, the collection invites us to a fascinating conversation about home across vast geographies, disciplines, and methods. Indispensable reading for anyone who cares about home.’ -- Cecilia Menjivar, University of California, USTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction: home and migration – setting the terms of belonging and place-making on the move 1 Paolo Boccagni PART I BACKGROUNDS 2 Migrants of identity: cosmopolitan actors at home in the world 30 Nigel Rapport and Andrew Dawson 3 Home and forced migration 42 Giorgia Donà, Cathrine Brun and Anita Fábos 4 Housing studies, migration and home 55 Keith Jacobs 5 The migrant house: the meaning of its architecture and materiality 66 Iris Levin 6 Towards a social history of home and migration 77 Rosa Salzberg 7 Moving toward home away from home: a cultural psychology perspective on home and migration 90 Mariann Märtsin and Annela Samuel 8 Between longing and belonging: home, homemaking and diasporas 100 Jayani Bonnerjee 9 The paradox of home: an interview with Les Back 112 PART II QUESTIONS 10 Senses of home in the modern world 121 Gordon Mathews 11 Temporalities of migration and homemaking 131 Brenda S.A.

Book SynopsisWith contributions from leading scholars in Southern Europe, this compelling book demonstrates the plurality of migratory circumstances and analyses the significance of the Mediterranean migration model.Highlighting the challenges of studying the variability and heterogeneity of migratory patterns in the Mediterranean, this insightful book provides a comprehensive examination of the spatial-temporal scales and sedimentation of different migratory configurations. Chapters explore the continuities between colonial past, postcolonialism and migration; the integration and exploitation in the labour market; and the impact of political discourses on migrants and non-migrants.Contributors analyse the links between race and gender relations, colonialism, and migration policies across countries including Greece, Italy, Lebanon, the Maghreb region, and Spain.Proposing that the ‘principle of coexistence’ can be an interpretive tool for studying migration in the Mediterranean, this book will be essential for students and researchers in comparative social policy, cultural sociology, development studies, history and migration studies. It will also be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners in national and international political bodies and agencies.Trade Review‘An indispensable contribution to comparative immigration studies, this book brings together an impressive group of country specialists on southern European migration, working in a broad range of disciplines. While deeply sensitive to historical context, the contributors offer original insights into ongoing policy issues like the tension between child/elder-care needs of native-born families and restrictive immigration measures. This book is a model of cross-national scholarship that breaks new theoretical ground.’ -- Wayne A. Cornelius, University of California, San Diego, US‘With a multidisciplinary and outward looking (not Eurocentric) perspective, this book offers one of the most comprehensive surveys of research on migration in the Mediterranean area. The contributions cover countries on the European side and those on the opposite side of the Mediterranean. They examine the policies adopted, the motivations and the aims of the multiple parties involved.’ -- Paola Corti, University of Turin, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: Introduction: broadening the scope of Southern European migration 1 Adelina Miranda and Antía Pérez-Caramés An extended foreword to a critique on Mediterranean Europe as a place of migration 11 Natalia Ribas-Mateos and Jorge Malheiros PART I MOBILITIES AND COLONIALISMS 1 Human mobility in the pre-modern Mediterranean 30 Wolfgang Kaiser and Claudia Moatti 2 Migration and otherness in the Mediterranean region: colonial past and postcolonial continuities through the conception of the ‘Other Moor’ 50 María-Jesús Cabezón-Fernández 3 The weight of colonial cultural legacy in scholarly and political discourses on migration: for a denationalisation of the migration issue 67 Mustapha El Miri PART II BEYOND NATIONAL MIGRATORY DYNAMICS 4 Migration in Italy: a multiscalar analysis 85 Fabio Amato 5 The Maghreb of transit, new laboratory of postcolonial migrations 99 Michel Peraldi 6 Gender and emigration: labour market integration and work‒life balance strategies of young Spanish female migrants to France and Germany 113 Belén Fernández-Suárez and Alberto Capote Lama 7 A Southern European model of migrant agricultural labour: two case studies in Andalusia (Spain) and Calabria (Italy) 130 Francisco Checa y Olmos, Francesco Saverio Caruso and Alessandra Corrado 8 The care shortage and social acceptance: why the welfare needs of native families subvert immigration policies 145 Maurizio Ambrosini 9 Lebanese migration policy since 2011 and its role in the Syrian refugee movement 162 Kamel Doraï and Imad Amer 10 Repoliticising gendered vulnerability: the blind spots of vulnerability-focused humanitarian programmes in Greece 180 Alice Latouche Conclusions: migration patterns across the Mediterranean 195 Adelina Miranda and Antía Pérez-Caramés Index

Book SynopsisAdvancing public dialogue surrounding the issues of migrants and refugees, the volume explores the dynamic representations of the recent movement of people from and through the Balkans. It investigates how people within the Balkans view their others, how the West regards the Balkans, and how emigrants from the Balkans reflect upon their experiences as members of cosmopolitan diasporic communities. Highlighting latent tensions between center and periphery and furthering the discussion of racialization related to the Balkans, the collection exposes contradictions in social values, which give rise to national anxieties. Approaching mobility from multiple disciplines, the volume examines several instances of border flows in media, literature, and culture in general, flows of ideas and people. To analyze mobility to, from, and in the Balkans requires one to address the issue of difference, otherness, and race as it relates to South East Europe and as it is understood and reproduced in both transnational and local forms. The racialized category of “migrant” necessitates an understanding of how transnational concepts of race translate into constructs of whiteness and blackness and inform subject positions of the individual and motivate discourses of racialization within communities.

Book SynopsisThis book examines today’s massive migrations between Global South and Global North in light of Spain and Portugal’s complicated colonial legacies. It offers unique material on Spanish-speaking and Lusophone Africa in conjunction to transatlantic and transpacific perspectives encompassing the Americas, Asia, and the Caribbean. For the first time, these are brought together to explore how movement within and beyond these former metropoles came to define the Iberian Peninsula. The collection is composed of papers that study human mobility in Spanish-speaking or Lusophone contexts from a myriad of approaches. The project thus sheds critical light on migratory movement within the Luso-Hispanic world, and also beyond its traditional geo-linguistic parameters, through an eclectic and inter-disciplinary collection of essays, traversing anthropology, literary studies, theater, and popular culture. Beyond focusing solely on the geo-political limits of Peninsular space, several essays interrogate the legacies of Iberian colonial projects in a global perspective, and how the discursive underpinnings of these impact the politics of migration in the broader Luso-Hispanic world.Table of ContentsPreface: Coloniality, Racism, and Migrations by Walter D.

Book SynopsisThough forced displacement constituted a central and pervasive feature of the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’ effecting tens of thousands of citizens, remarkably it has been afforded little more than a footnote or fleeting reference in most accounts of the conflict. This book seeks to ‘end the silence’ surrounding this neglected and ubiquitous aspect of the conflict. Based on 88 in-depth qualitative interviews with victims and survivors, and extensive secondary research, this fascinating study provides the first comprehensive examination of forced displacement in Northern Ireland. The analysis presented captures the unique perspectives of those forcibly uprooted over the course of the 30-year conflict and places on historical record their stories and experiences. This thought-provoking work challenges and broadens prevailing understandings of conflict-related violence, harm, and loss in Northern Ireland to demonstrate the centrality of forced movement, territory, and demographics to the roots and subsequent trajectory of the Troubles. In doing so, it shows that to fully understand the eruption and outplaying of the Troubles and its elusive peace, engagement with and understanding of the legacy of forced displacement is crucial.Trade Review'This book makes a significant contribution to the literature in the field and that there is no doubt that it helps to plug a substantial gap in the debate about the Troubles and their legacy.'

Book SynopsisBeing an Irish man was a consistent, contentious issue in the Canadas. The aim of this book is to provide the first gendered examination of male Irish migration to Upper and Lower Canada within the broader contexts of negative stereotypes about Irish violence and Irishmen’s questionable loyalty to the British Empire. Through examinations of key violent episodes and (in)famous individuals, Violent Loyalties argues that being an Irishman in the Canadas meant daily negotiations with discrimination, ethnic rivalries, the pressure to become more ‘British’, and having to base one’s sense of manliness on being the most visible ‘other’ in the colonies. Irish Catholics faced the burden of being dual minorities – the ‘other’ religion within the Anglophone world and English-speaking in the Catholic sphere already established by French-Canadians. Irish Protestants also had difficulties adapting to their new communities, as the problematic association with violent Orangeism and rivalries with Scottish and English immigrants, many of whom were United Empire Loyalists, created obstacles in the quest for upward social mobility. Both Canadian and Irish historiographies are sorely lacking in examinations of masculinity compared with those investigating American, French, Australian, or British manliness. This gap in the literature becomes even more apparent outside of a twentieth-century focus. Violent Loyalties aims to fill these lacunae in the histories of colonial Canada and the Irish diaspora.Trade Review'A novel and significant contribution to studies of the Irish diaspora in Canada.'Dr William Jenkins, York University, Canada'[Violent Loyalties] is full of cracking stories. This narrative flair is intercut throughout with theoretical buttressing, where the ideas of Judith Butler, Joan Scott and others provide a framework for an innovative account of this period in Canadian history that is thoroughly engaged with transnational and empire perspectives.' Jim MacPherson, Canadian Journal of Irish Studies‘With a strong sense of scholarly analysis and yet a fluency and anecdotal vigour that will appeal to many readers, Violent Loyalties provides much-needed insight into White settler masculinities during a formational part of central Canada’s colonial past… [McGaughey’s] work in the archives has been masterful and wide-ranging; what she has done with this evidence is pioneering, with excellent work in reading across the grain for insights on gender… this is an excellent piece of scholarship and highly deserving of our consideration. I hope to see it adopted in academic curricula in both Irish and Gender History/Studies.’ Willeen Keough, Histoire sociale/Social HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction1. Bodies of Men2. Wanted?

Book SynopsisThe redistribution of welfare resources to migrants continues to polarise society. Not only politicians from the radical right but also from more mainstream parties are capitalising on the idea of ‘welfare for our kind’, or welfare chauvinism. In this innovative book, Gianna Maria Eick provides a comprehensive analysis of welfare chauvinism in Europe, skilfully exploring how it is shaped by education, economy and culture.Constructing an extensive overview of welfare chauvinism’s causes and consequences, Welfare Chauvinism in Europe sheds light on the multidimensionality of welfare chauvinist attitudes across countries, time, social policies, and different migrant groups. Eick unveils hidden nuances regarding welfare chauvinism that are frequently overlooked in current discourse, particularly concerning socioeconomic cleavages in Europe. Using high-quality data on public attitudes and macro-level conditions, this thought-provoking book investigates the common misperception that higher levels of education universally lead to more tolerant attitudes and argues that governments and welfare institutions play a crucial role in shaping public opinion.Providing an in-depth exploration of welfare chauvinism, this timely book is a crucial resource for academics, researchers and students working across social policy, political science, sociology, social work, geography, economics and law. Its analysis of novel cross-national survey data on welfare chauvinism is also of significant intere– Martin Ruhs, European University Institust to policy makers and policy practitioners across the globe.Trade Review‘Gianna Maria Eick guides the reader expertly through the complex nature of welfare chauvinism, across a decade when European societies came under economic and political stress. By separating empirical patterns from erroneous assumptions this book provides rich insights to established scholars as well as newcomers to the field.’ -- Tom van der Meer, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands‘In this excellent book, Gianna Maria Eick provides novel analysis of why some Europeans want to exclude migrants from access to “their” national welfare states. Her nuanced study of the role of education and national contexts in shaping welfare chauvinism is a thought-provoking and highly recommended read for all those working in the fields of migration, welfare states, and European integration.’ -- Martin Ruhs, European University Institute, Italy‘With migrant populations rising across Europe, welfare chauvinism - the desire to exclude migrants from social safety nets - has become one of the great political issues of our time. Why do native citizens shun migrants in this way, and what can be done to build more inclusive welfare systems? This outstanding new book from Gianna Maria Eick brings a wealth of new data and analysis to bear on these important questions. Required reading for anyone interested in how to build welfare states fit for a diverse and mobile world.’ -- Robert Ford, University of Manchester, UK‘Gianna Maria Eick provides a comprehensive yet nuanced picture of the empirical relationship between higher education and welfare chauvinism and in doing so challenges the notion that higher education unfailingly bestows individuals with liberal sociopolitical attitudes. Her analyses reveal that countries’ economic conditions, cultural norms, and welfare state institutions affect the size of the educational gap, thereby limiting higher education’s liberalizing potential. These findings have implications not only for our understanding of higher education’s so-called liberalizing effects but also the determinants of welfare chauvinism. A timely read for scholars of comparative welfare states in an era of increased immigration and neo-nationalism.’ -- Maureen A. Eger, Umeå University, Sweden‘Through rigorous analyses of survey data, Gianna Maria Eick nuances our understanding of public opinion towards denying migrants access to welfare provisions. Most centrally, she demonstrates that welfare chauvinism is also found among the higher educated and that the “enlightenment-effect” is absent in some European contexts. The book also highlights patterns in public opinion that could pave the way for more inclusive welfare states. Do not read this book if you want a sweeping statement. Read this book if you want to understand under which conditions the public wants to deny, and give, migrants access to welfare provisions.’ -- Christian Albrekt Larsen, Aalborg University, Denmark‘The tension between migration and welfare is at the heart of current political conflicts. In her book, Gianna Maria Eick provides a profound and nuanced account of the scope of solidarity and the willingness to include “others” by looking at educational cleavages as well as their cross-national and temporal variations.’ -- Steffen Mau, Humboldt University of Berlin, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: Preface and acknowledgements 1 Migration, welfare and education in times of crisis 2 What is welfare chauvinism? 3 Explanations for welfare chauvinism in the public 4 Welfare chauvinism across countries 5 Welfare chauvinism across time 6 Welfare chauvinism across policies 7 The future of European welfare states Bibliography Index

Book SynopsisFocusing on the social impact of migration, this book explores migration as an inevitable part of rural development and transition in light of the sharp political divides in European and national political arenas on the topic. It provides an innovative immigration impact assessment based on recently conducted empirical work to enhance local development in European rural and remote regions, looking to promote change in the perception of migration and related policies and practices.The book concentrates on third country nationals (TCNs), considering the spaces in which TCNs settle down as both the input and output of a process of collective production of places. Chapters analyse how the particular traits of rural and remote contexts interact with TCNs’ integration paths and impact, looking at how demographic trends, socio-economic dynamics and migration patterns to a specific region affect the opportunities, policy responses, societal attitudes and perceptions towards TCNs.With empirically grounded recommendations and advice on strategies and solutions to improve the local governance of migration, this book will be a useful tool for European policymakers. It will also be an informative and interesting read for regional studies, governance and human geography scholars focusing on migration.Trade Review‘With this book, the researchers of the MATILDE project fill an important research gap. Through the diversity of the case studies, the range of opportunities and challenges experienced in remote areas through third-country nationals are impressively exemplified. The book is a valuable addition to the literature, especially for migration studies and rural studies.’ -- Birte Nienaber, University of Luxembourg, LuxembourgTable of ContentsContents: 1 On the potential of immigration for the remote areas of Europe: an introduction 1 Jussi P.

Book SynopsisLooking beyond urban immigration, this ground-breaking book explores how immigrants can become a part of local communities in remote regions. Contributors argue that immigrant integration is place-dependent, and develop new theories, methodologies, and policies that address the specific dynamics of immigration to peripheral areas.Emphasising migrants’ attachments to the places they reside in, this book adopts a bottom-up approach to immigrant integration, prioritising the needs of individual agents. It highlights the various methodological flaws and ideological biases of existing theories of integration and provides novel solutions to integration problems. Chapters examine key features of immigration to remote places, including transnational social networks developed by migrants, and translocal and global understandings of place. Ultimately, the book reveals the multi-faceted, multi-layered and socially-constructed nature of immigrant integration.New Methods and Theory on Immigrant Integration will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars in international migration, human geography, ethnic relations, European studies, and sociology. It will also be essential reading for professionals in NGOs and political institutions seeking to develop effective immigration integration policies.Trade Review‘In our day and age, when migrants in the West are no longer confined to cities and metropoles, but also increasingly make their mark in the countryside and small towns, there is a dire need for scholarly research on migration outside urban areas. Wait no more. In Daniel Rauhut’s New Methods and Theory on Immigration Integration, all those sorely overlooked topics are carefully analyzed from refreshing perspectives by distinguished scholars in the field. Along with it, conventional wisdom is being challenged. Certainly, an extremely valuable research and teaching resource!’ -- Göran Adamson, Uppsala University, SwedenTable of ContentsContents: Preface ix 1 Methodological and theoretical perspectives on immigrant integration in rural and remote areas: an introduction 1 Daniel Rauhut 2 Theorising immigrant integration: a critical examination 13 Daniel Rauhut and Jussi P.

Book SynopsisThis authoritative Handbook provides an interdisciplinary appraisal of the field of return migration, advancing concepts and theories and setting an agenda for new debates. Structured into four parts, the Handbook maps the contemporary field of return migration, examining the effects and politicisation of return migration, before moving on to explore the theme of reintegration and the impact of return migration on development in the migrants’ countries of origin. Taking an intersectional approach, expert contributors delve into the economics of return migration, deportation, the psychological wellbeing of migrants, student mobility and second-generation ‘return’ migration. The Handbook opens up new avenues for research, including new theories and conceptualisations of return migration, and articulates key issues that should be considered, both for research and for policy and practice. This Handbook will be a valuable resource for scholars and advanced students interested in migration and human rights. Its use of empirical examples and case studies will also be beneficial for policy-makers seeking an insight into the current issues in return migration.Trade Review‘Russell King and Katie Kuschminder have brought together a multidisciplinary team to cover return migration from multiple conceptual, theoretical, empirical and political angles. The volume focuses on the intersection of these approaches to provide a general but also detailed survey of the field. Given the multidisciplinary nature of this collection, this volume will be useful across the field of migration studies as well as within the specific discipline approach of each individual chapter. In particular, scholars and practitioners working in the area of migration and ethics, especially human rights, should find this collection valuable.’ -- James Barry, Ethnic and Racial Studies‘Return migration used to be the Cinderella of migration studies. This Handbook is an indispensable corrective, containing a marvellously rich and diverse collection of case studies together with a “state of the art” review of the relevant literature by the editors.’ -- Robin Cohen, University of Oxford, UK‘In this collection of eye-opening contributions on return migration, Russell King and Katie Kuschminder have assembled a highly productive group of authors who give guidance in this quickly emerging field. The contributions convincingly employ insights from various branches of migration and mobility studies, and establish new ground in topics ranging from assisted return and deportations to reintegration and engagement in local development. The individual chapters draw a differentiated portrait of a crucial but so far underappreciated dimension of migration. We have waited a long time for such a truly stimulating Handbook.’ -- Thomas Faist, Bielefeld University, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction: definitions, typologies and theories of return migration 1 Russell King and Katie Kuschminder PART I THEORISING AND CONCEPTUALISING RETURN MIGRATION 2 The economics of return migration 24 Jackline Wahba 3 Return and transnationalism 38 Özge Bilgili 4 Gendering return migration 53 Russell King and Aija Lulle 5 Theorising voluntariness in return 70 Marta Bivand Erdal and Ceri Oeppen 6 Departheid: re-politicising the inhumane treatment of illegalised migrants in so-called liberal democratic states 84 Barak Kalir 7 Return visits and other return mobilities 96 Md Farid Miah PART II THE POLITICISATION OF RETURN MIGRATION 8 Critical reflections on assisted return programmes and practices 108 Ine Lietaert 9 The contours of deportation studies 122 Martin Lemberg-Pedersen 10 The Return Directive: clarifying the scope and substance of the rights of migrants facing expulsion from the EU 137 Alan Desmond 11 The return industry: the case of the Netherlands 153 Marieke van Houte 12 The legitimisation of the policy objective of sustainable reintegration 167 Rossella Marino and Ine Lietaert 13 Corruption and return migration 185 Erlend Paasche PART III EXPERIENCES OF RETURN AND REINTEGRATION 14 Reintegration strategies 200 Katie Kuschminder 15 Labour migrants and the retirement–return nexus 212 Claudio Bolzman 16 Return migration and psychosocial wellbeing 226 Zana Vathi 17 The return migration of children: (re)integration is not always plain sailing 241 Daina Grosa 18 Student mobility: between returning home and remaining abroad 255 Elisa Alves 19 Returning lifestyle migrants 270 Katie Walsh 20 Revisiting second-generation ‘return’ migration to the ancestral homeland 283 Nilay Kılınç 21 Return migration experiences: the case of Central and Eastern Europe 299 Anne White PART IV RETURN MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT 22 Exploring the return migration and development nexus 314 Russell King 23 Diaspora return and knowledge transfer 331 Charlotte Mueller 24 Return migration, entrepreneurship and development 344 Giulia Sinatti Index

Book SynopsiscThis cutting-edge book presents a unique focus on nationalism and migration, exploring the relationship between these two concepts in countries throughout the world. Combining theoretical and empirical discussions from a range of disciplinary perspectives, the book questions the rise of nationalism in the 21st century instead of simply assuming its ascendancy.Featuring contributions from leading scholars in the field, this book not only conceptualises ethno-nationalism, but also details its effects. From Islamophobia and racism in Europe and North America, to xenophobia in China and South Africa, the book critically examines the many forms of discursive and material exclusions that exist across the globe. Rejecting a simple framework that links the supposed rise of ethno-nationalism to the limits of neoliberalism, it instead argues that nationalism and neoliberalism may in fact be combined. It also considers how this leads to discourses, policies and practices of differential inclusion and exclusion, and vice versa.International and multidisciplinary in scope, Migration and Nationalism will be a beneficial read for academics, researchers and students in politics and public policy, geography, sociology and social policy, urban and regional studies, and development studies. It also will be of benefit to policymakers within these fields.Trade Review‘A particularly impressive contribution by this book is that not only does it greatly enhance understanding of the relationship between immigration and nationalism, but by doing so, it provides important insights into the contemporary condition of societies and politics in Europe and North America and the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion that they maintain and sustain.’ -- Andrew Geddes, European University Institute, Italy‘We cannot separate immigration from nationalism. This book offers fresh insights into this understudied relationship. It helps us understand how populism, right-wing politics, and neoliberalism affect migration policies.

Book SynopsisBringing together prominent scholars in the field, this Handbook provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the complex interrelationship between migration and welfare. Chapters explore the extent to which immigration policy affects – and is affected by – welfare states, from both economic and political perspectives. This Handbook also examines the effects of emigration on sending societies, exploring issues such as the impact of remittances, diasporas, and skill deterioration as a result of human capital flight on capacity building and on economic and political development more generally. Contributors draw on both qualitative and quantitative research to illuminate the contours and patterns of this complex relationship. This includes the assumed tension-reducing role of multiculturalist and integration policies, the shaping of native beliefs about migrants by socio-economic constraints and the potential for the extension of social rights to migrants to influence and increase pro-redistributive attitudes. Investigating the drivers of welfare chauvinism and its effects on social trust between native and immigrant groups, the Handbook also provides insights into the latest theoretical and empirical findings regarding the progressive’s dilemma, one of the most formidable policy challenges leaders of modern societies face. Breaking new theoretical and empirical ground, this cutting-edge Handbook is essential reading for academics, researchers and students in political science, economics, sociology, social policy and political philosophy, particularly those focused on global migration and changing attitudes to welfare. It will also benefit policymakers looking for new data and pioneering perspectives on immigration policy and the future of welfare states in a changing world economy.Trade Review‘The volume provides an excellent summary of the challenges of migration today and tries to show the dilemmas of both receiving and sending countries. I recommend the volume to all those who wish to conduct research in the field of migration and or who would like to gain more insight into the subject.’ -- Szandra Kramarics, European Journal of Social Security‘Migration and welfare spell an uneasy relationship. Membership and deservingness have come to delineate newcomers' access to social goods in host societies across the globe. Yet there is no unitary relationship between the entities. Context and politics matter. This Handbook delivers a unique set of analyses to grasp these complexities.’ -- Grete Brochmann, University of Oslo, Norway‘This Handbook tackles two of the thorniest questions of the twenty-first century: how do we ensure the collective welfare of others, and who counts as a member of “our” collective? The impressive range of contributions, across disciplines and methodologies, provides a wealth of data and valuable ideas for scholars and those who are making critical policy decisions about who gets what in the coming decades.’ -- Irene Bloemraad, University of California Berkeley, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Handbook on Migration and Welfare: The contours of contested concepts 1 Markus M.

Book SynopsisForced migration in the 21st century is closely linked to three global developments: climate change, rapid urbanization and the lack of solutions faced by millions of displaced people. The Handbook on Forced Migration brings a critical lens to the study of these issues. By adding the often overlooked disciplines of history and philosophy, this Handbook challenges narratives on forced migration, explains contemporary challenges, and provides a call for action.Each section of the Handbook presents diverse perspectives and a range of case studies on the interaction between forced migration and climate change, urbanization and solutions. The Introduction challenges different forced migration narratives, and the Conclusion makes new arguments for standards in forced migration research. A final chapter explores potential problems for forced migrants around digital technology,This fascinating Handbook will be an important read for human rights, humanitarian and development practitioners, and for urban studies and migration scholars and students. The research-centred approach will benefit academics and policymakers undertaking new investigations.Trade Review‘As global displacement is seen to be ever increasing in scale and complexity, this collection of perspectives – from a truly remarkable group of contributors – is essential reading for anyone that seeks to more fully understand this enduring phenomenon.’ -- James Milner, Carleton University, Canada‘The Handbook on Forced Migration provides a wide-ranging and iconoclastic set of reflections on forced migration across disciplinary perspectives. The first-rate and diverse set of contributors prove excellent guides through the thicket of this fundamental issue of our time.’ -- Matthew J.

Book SynopsisThis insightful book thoroughly examines how the EU's return acquis is inspired by, and integrates, international migration and human rights law. It also explores how this body of EU law has shaped international law-making relating to the removal of non-nationals.Set against the background of the classic doctrine on the 'autonomy of EU law' and the EU's objective to 'develop international law', Tamás Molnár depicts a legally sound and elaborate picture of the EU’s return acquis vis-à-vis international law, both internally and externally. From the perspective of the EU legal order, it offers important insights into this field from both a constitutional perspective and from the point of view of the substantive area of migration law. Chapters provide in-depth analysis of the EU's return-related legislative developments reflecting international law and the expanding return-related jurisprudence of the EU Court of Justice.Bridging the gap between EU and international law, which both have unique characteristics and are often studied in different spheres, this book will appeal to academics and practising lawyers dealing with the expulsion of migrants in irregular situations. It will also be a useful read for law scholars, practitioners and postgraduate students who wish to further their understanding of the interactions between these two legal orders.Trade Review‘Overall, the volume’s most remarkable contribution is the examination of the theoretical foundations of EU legal order vis-à-vis international law from a migration law perspective, one that has been so far largely disregarded. Molnár provides a very comprehensive and detailed overview of the interactions between EU and international law in this field; in doing so he has also illuminated the topic of migration and expulsion of irregular migrants, drawing attention to the field beyond its immediate sector and attempting to draw conclusions that contribute to a more comprehensive debate on general principles of EU law.’ -- Eleonora Celoria, Common Market Law Review‘By exploring the question of return from the perspective of a multifaceted relationship between EU and international law, the book proves to be a unique contribution to the existing literature in the field. It enriches the literature devoted to both the EU and international legal orders. This book is timely and relevant as the negotiations on the recast Return Directive are ongoing and an overriding objective of the EU’s new Pact on Migration and Asylum19 is to increase the number of returns.’ -- Izabella Majcher, Hungarian Yearbook of International Law and European Law‘Molnár’s book brilliantly helps us understand how the EU has been and will be able to influence the international law making in the field of migration and human rights.’ -- Andrea Maria Pelliconi, City Law Forum'This book is not only an extremely interesting one on the return of irregular migrants that is a must read for migration specialists, but it is also an excellent essay about the complex subject of the autonomy of EU law and its relations with international law to recommend to all EU lawyers.' -- Philippe de Bruycker, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium'This book is a must read for anyone interested in the intersection of EU and international law in the area of migration and specifically expulsion (known as ''return'' in EU parlance). The book is both authoritative and profound in its examination of the relative weakness of the EU's incorporation of international standards in this area as opposed to more generally. The arguments are exceptionally well developed and supported.' -- Elspeth Guild, Queen Mary University of London, UK'In times when return and readmission policies shape public and policy discourse in the area of migration management both within the EU but also internationally, this book could not be more timely. It is an important milestone in the study of the EU and international law relating to return of irregular migrants, masterfully elucidating not only the interaction between the two legal regimes but also the way the EU can exercise its normative power in this important domain.' -- Sergo Mananashvili, Senior Advisor, Migration Dialogues and Cooperation, ICMPD‘Analysing interactions between EU and international law in the specific field related to return of migrants, this book reveals intriguing dynamics. As a unique contribution to legal scholarship, it explores how the EU Return Directive has been inspired by international law, whereas CJEU case law has prioritized autonomy of EU law. Yet, attempting to shape international law, the EU engaged with UN and regional standard-setting processes on returns. Dr Molnár convincingly demonstrates that the EU seeks to influence international law from which it claims autonomy and which the Union is constitutionally committed to respect.’ -- Izabella Majcher, European Council on Refugees and ExilesTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisWhile mobility trajectories and experiences are key in migrants’ lives, they are relatively neglected in the field of migration studies. Using mobility as a unique angle of approach, the Handbook of Human Mobility and Migration is a pioneering assessment of the theoretical concerns, empirical questions and issues of governance surrounding international mobility and migration today.Adopting an empirical interdisciplinary approach, Ettore Recchi and Mirna Safi draw together incisive contributions from a wide range of experts in the fields of sociology, geography, political science and demography. Chapters explore circular migration, public opinion on immigration, visa and border infrastructure and debates on whether international migration is truly global. They examine the critical research gap between mobility and migration, and address paramount questions using state-of-the-art theories and evidence.Providing concise overviews of issues at the top of the current research agenda in the field, this timely Handbook will be an essential reference for students and academics of migration studies, sociology, social policy, political science, human geography, demography, and international relations. It will also be of significant interest to researchers and policy professionals operating in these fields.Trade Review‘What truly sets this Handbook apart is its robust empirical foundation, drawing from both established and innovative data sources. It is, without a doubt, a truly “handy” Handbook, an indispensable resource for aspiring scholars entering the field and a must-have for anyone seeking to remain at the forefront of recent advancements and research trends.’ -- Stefano M. Iacus, Harvard University, US‘If to be human is to be mobile, then what is special about migration? The answer is to be found in the elegantly written, deeply informative chapters that comprise this Handbook, an essential guide to a core phenomenon that is shaping our world. Highly recommended to scholars and students alike.’ -- Roger Waldinger, University of California, Los Angeles, US‘The Handbook of Human Mobility and Migration is a powerful volume that brings a new framework to a crowded field of studies on mobility and migration. In fact, it is precisely the crowded nature of these fields that creates a need for a synthetic and reflective volume such as this one. Anchored in their careful consideration of mobility and migration, the authors encourage us to move forward and understand the broader trends of human movement. We have all spent too many years publishing in narrow and outdated perspectives. Therefore, the Handbook will be valuable for a wide range of scholars looking to understand the next generation of research on these topics.’ -- Rahsaan Maxwell, New York University, US‘This is an innovative Handbook bringing together different types of mobility and migration and asking how they are connected from analytical and policy perspectives. Ettore Recchi and Mirna Safi have brought together a distinguished group of scholars to review critically different types of migration and related policies and practices. The result is a selective but highly innovative book that will be an important read for both students and researchers in the field.’ -- Anna Triandafyllidou, Toronto Metropolitan University, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Handbook of Human Mobility and Migration: Human mobility as hallmark of our age xii Ettore Recchi and Mirna Safi PART I RETHINKING 1 Is Homo sapiens a growingly mobile species (in the very long run)? 2 Massimo Livi Bacci 2 Have migrants become a distinct category in social stratification research? 12 Mirna Safi 3 Are migrants a select population? 34 Mathieu Ichou 4 Is there an end to mobility?

Book SynopsisContributing to the shaping of education and migration as a distinct field of research, this forward-looking Research Handbook explores cross-cutting questions on the range of challenges facing education systems, migrant children and students today. Covering an impressive range of local, national and educational contexts, this Research Handbook explores diverse case studies, educational initiatives, approaches and policies that have been developed to support migrant and mobile students, educational professionals and schools. Chapters offer a broad understanding of the multifaceted nature of global migration today, exploring varied theoretical and methodological perspectives, and examining the educational challenges and opportunities presented by migration. The Research Handbook ultimately stresses the importance of interdisciplinary research into the complex phenomenon of global migration and its impact on education systems and the educational trajectories of migrant children. Students and scholars in the fields of education, migration, childhood studies and globalization studies will find this Research Handbook an invaluable reference. Its wide range of case studies on different educational provisions designed to support migrant children in schools will further benefit educational practitioners and policymakers.Trade Review‘This superb Research Handbook could not be more welcome. The emergent field of migration and education is handsomely illustrated in the exemplary, original research represented here. Despite investigating so many diverse national contexts, the chapter authors concur that migration of children and youth is today enriching, disrupting and reshaping educational systems globally in ways that demand our attention. By addressing the challenge of inclusivity from various angles, they engage critically with policy discourses around the right to education, identifying implementation problems especially where national/local hostility occurs, whilst highlighting transformative agendas associated with the presence and voices of migrant youth, whether in schools or higher education. All education practitioners and researchers need to ingest the messages contained in this Handbook, to look at their own assumptions about migration and to address, politically and pedagogically, the exclusionary Othering and potential alienation of the millions of displaced or migrant young people in the world today.’ -- Emerita Professor Madeleine Arnot, Co-founder of the Centre for the Study of Global Human Movement, University of Cambridge, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction: education and migration as a field of research 1 Halleli Pinson, Dympna Devine and Nihad Bunar PART I APPROACHES TO THE EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION OF REFUGEE AND MIGRANT CHILDREN 2 The border within: decolonizing refugee students’ education 22 Fabio Dovigo 3 Inclusive systems as relational space in and around schools for supporting migrants in education: transitions from diametric to concentric spatial systems 37 Paul Downes 4 Migration and acculturation: supporting migrant students’ school adjustment in multicultural schools 54 Elena Makarova and Petra Sidler 5 The organization of school integration for refugee children and youth in Germany: identifying gaps in the current state of knowledge 68 Mona Massumi, Christina Brandl and Annette Korntheuer 6 Inclusion of newly arrived migrant students in Swedish schools: organizational models and support measures 83 Nihad Bunar 7 Young refugees’ inclusion and belonging upon entering upper secondary education in Norway 98 Lutine de Wal Pastoor 8 Perceptions of immigrant parental engagement in primary schools in Ireland 114 Dympna Devine, Merike Darmody and Emer Smyth 9 School choice of West African migrants in Ghana 130 Daniel Owusu Kyereko and Daniel Faas PART II SUPPORTING PRACTICES IN SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY: LANGUAGE(S) AND LEARNING SUPPORT 10 Evidence-based instructional responses to opportunity gaps experienced by immigrant-background students 142 Jim Cummins 11 Measuring the academic progress of newly arrived migrant and refugee youth: an Australian school-based longitudinal study 157 Sue Creagh 12 Language brokering and immigrant children’s everyday learning in home and community contexts 173 Marjorie Faulstich Orellana and Inmaculada García-Sánchez 13 Migration, special educational needs and inclusive education 189 William Kinsella, Amalia Fenwick, Paula Prendeville and Michelle Kelly 14 Complementary schools as heritage language communities of practice: reaching beyond language maintenance 203 Yongcan Liu and Lottie Hoare 15 Educational services of informal local refugee support organizations in Türkiye: their role and practices 221 Ozlem Erden-Basaran 16 Mentoring and other educational support for children of immigrants: research, policy relevance, and good practice 236 Jens Schneider PART III VULNERABILITY, VOICE AND AGENCY 17 Representing vulnerable, Syrian migrant children’s insights: testimonies of inclusion and exclusion in schooling 249 Eleanore Hargreaves and Jumana Al-Waeli 18 Rethinking inclusion: empowering the children of sex workers in Kalighat, Kolkata, India 262 Khaleda Gani Dutt 19 The education of left-behind children in rural China 272 Rachel Murphy and Yan Zhang 20 Push up, be grateful, and tell us your challenges: youth caught between dependency and self-reliance in Kakuma Refugee Camp 285 Michelle J.

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Handbook explores the fundamental concepts surrounding the ageing-migration nexus. It is indispensable reading, presenting interdisciplinary research to investigate the unique experiences of older migrants, migrant eldercare workers and older people left behind.Illustrating the various contemporary topics of study used to explore the connections between migration and ageing, the Handbook discusses how the research interest surrounding this interrelation has developed. Chapters explore two central factors that have influenced the ageing-migration nexus, namely population ageing and the globalization of international migration. It aptly draws attention to conclusions drawn from already completed research ventures, before considering what research still needs to be conducted.This innovative Handbook will be an ideal resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to familiarize themselves with the field. It will also be beneficial for more experienced researchers studying topics such as migration, welfare states and social gerontology, as well as academics looking to become more informed on the connections between migration and ageing.Trade Review‘The Handbook on Migration and Ageing represents a comprehensive overview of one of the major social and public policy issues of our time. It offers both a detailed conceptual framework for understanding the relationship between migration and ageing, as well as a state-of-the-art survey of empirical research. A major virtue of the Handbook is demonstrating the diversity of migrants and the migration experience, ranging over a wide variety of subjects and themes. It represents a major editorial achievement and will be a key reference work for academics, policymakers and practitioners alike.’ -- Chris Phillipson, University of Manchester, UK‘In this ambitious and wide-ranging collection, the authors advance understandings at the nexus of ageing and migration by bringing together cutting-edge conceptual and empirical work.

Book SynopsisDrawing on the concept of the 'politics of compassion', this Handbook interrogates the political, geopolitical, social and anthropological processes which produce and govern borders and give rise to contemporary border violence.Chapters map different aspects of structural violence and mobilities in some of the world's most contentious border zones, highlighting the forms and practices that connect with labour exploitation, legal exclusion and a severe absence of human rights. International interdisciplinary contributors, including renowned sociologist Saskia Sassen, draw attention to the forms and spaces of resistance available to migrants and activists, contemplating how advocates attempt to provide protection and human security to those subjected to border violence. Offering empirical analyses of critical border spaces, the book covers extensively the US-Mexico border region and border zones around the Mediterranean. Border issues in South, Central and North America, Eastern Europe, Northern Europe, the Middle East, Central Africa and East and Central Asia are also discussed. The Handbook thus provides a truly transnational approach to borders and migration, demonstrating the dynamic but asymmetric relationship between the social structure of border enforcement and the human agency of migrants and global activists.Combining theoretical insights into structural violence and human rights with key case studies of border zones, this comprehensive Handbook is crucial reading for scholars and researchers of social and political science investigating human migration, the humanitarian, border control and human rights. Its practical insights will also benefit policy-makers involved in borders and migration, as well as advocates and NGOs working with migrants and refugees to create secure environments.Trade Review’Human security is one of the most pressing issues of our time. As the world becomes more connected through globalization, barriers and borders simultaneously stifle and oppress world migrants. This Handbook should be required reading for understanding this problematic, in the U.S, Mexico, Europe and beyond, using a social science lens.’ -- - Howard Campbell, The University of Texas at El Paso, USTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Handbook on Human Security, Borders and Migration 1 Natalia Ribas-Mateos and Tim Dunn PART I THE ICONIC US–MEXICO BORDER REGION 1 The militarization of the US–Mexico border in the twenty-first century and implications for human rights 32 Timothy J.

Book SynopsisThis volume demonstrates the ways in which a gender perspective has been incorporated into existing themes and methods of migration research and has also led to the development of new areas of interest. It draws together the most important published articles on gender and migration in North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia in order to highlight major theoretical developments relating to employment, gender relations, household organisation, identity, citizenship, transnationalism and migration policy. In the introduction the editors provide an overview of these key developments in gender and migration research, as well as suggesting topics for future research.Gender and Migration will be a valuable resource for demographers, geographers and gender studies researchers.Trade Review'. . . introduces the reader to a range of informative, interesting, persuasive and well-argued papers on gender and migration. As such, it represents an important and overdue acknowledgement of the centrality of gender to explanations and accounts of international migration.' -- Allen White, Progress in Human Geography'This collection belongs on migration researchers' shelves, and should be adopted as the primary text in seminars on gender and migration. But it should also be read more widely than its title implies, because the work collected suggests future directions for a range of various subfields within the discipline. The editors have done the discipline a service by bringing together such a powerful collection of writings, and by organizing this research under the rubric of gender and migration studies.' -- Rachel Silvey, Annals of the Association of American GeographersTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements • Introduction Part I: Gender and Migration Theory 1.

Book SynopsisThis comparative analysis of growth, structural change and labour market dynamics in the Greater Mekong countries (Yunnan Province in China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar) of Southeast Asia is the first of its kind. It explores economic integration and cooperation, the possibilities for improving the functioning of labour markets and facilitating mutually beneficial labour flows in the region.The book begins with a comparative overview of policy reforms, economic performance and structural changes, focusing on economic relations in the Greater Mekong countries. It then examines the salient features of labour market structures and policies, patterns of cross-border migration, and information systems, paying attention to the similarities and differences between countries. It is especially timely in the context of economic transition from socialist systems in the three Indochina countries, the ongoing policy reforms in Yunnan Province and Myanmar, and in light of the Asian financial crisis in shaping growth trends. The analysis yields policy recommendations for improvement in labour market performance.The book will be of great interest to development and labour economists and those working in the field of Asian studies, as well as to policymakers.Trade Review'This is a good short introduction to an important topic.' -- Adam Fforde, Asian Journal of Social Science'This book by Athukorala, Manning and Wickramasekara is a welcome addition to the literature. . . The book unquestionably provides a useful summary of recent macro-level change and trends in and among the countries considered.' -- Ronald Skeldon, Asia and Pacific Migration Journal'There is much to recommend this book. It is well written and free of economic jargon, and will therefore be easily accessible to scholars in many disciplines. It provides an excellent overview of economic and labor issues in a region that has been rather neglected by academics. . . . a well-written volume that represents an important addition to the literature on Southeast Asia and transitional economies. It should be an essential reference to students and scholars interested in Southeast Asian economic development.' -- Kavita Pandit, Papers in Regional Science'. . . being useful seems to be the main purpose of this fine book, as there are no new interpretative theories or counterintuitive propositions, but the authors assemble and organize their data in such a way as to lead to operational conclusions and policy recommendations. . . .

Book SynopsisRural-urban migration is an important aspect in the development of countries. Until the late 1980s China was one of the few countries that controlled population movement both directly and indirectly through policies of economic and social control. The gradual relaxation of these policies has resulted in greater freedom of movement for the population, the effects of which are discussed in this significant volume.The book concentrates on the migration of minorities from a social, economic and ethnic perspective and attempts to quantify the overall level of movement. In particular, the authors examine the relationships between education, ethnicity and migration and identify the policies and conditions conducive to achieving positive outcomes for minority migrant households. The book aims to increase our understanding of the effects of movement, on the social, economic and ethnic status of migrant families. Taking existing census data as a starting point, the book makes a new contribution by drawing on a unique survey in four different regions, the data from which is used as the basis for detailed case study analysis. The study of internal migration is vital, the authors argue, in order to understand the change process from a centrally planned economic system to a market orientated society in China. The internal mobility of minorities can be regarded equally, as both a product of, and a contributing factor to, this social transformation. This notable and very readable book will be of significant interest to policymakers, international and development economists and researchers and students of Asian economics and demographics.Trade Review'The book is certainly worth reading for those interested in the political and social aspects of internal movement in China today. It focuses on a topic that deserves a great deal more attention in the debates about the social and political consequences of rural-urban mobility in China - both for the urban regions, but also for the regions which migrants leave behind.' -- Mette Halskov Hansen, China Information'Contemporary Minority Migration, Education and Ethnicity in China breaks important new ground in studying the interrelationships of migration, ethnicity and education.' -- Hein Mallee, The China Journal'This is an excellent book that will go a long way in introducing readers to many important and relevant demographic issues of the minorities of China.' -- Dudley L. Poston, Jr. - Journal of Population Research'Offering an in-depth analysis of this internal migration, the book proves indispensable for gaining a better understanding of the changes inherent in China's transition from a planned to a market economy.' -- Isabelle Attane, China Perspectives'Migration scholars will welcome this data-rich treatment of what is currently the most important movement of people world-wide - namely the eight million or more people moving from rural to urban areas in China each year. This is a milestone book, showing extensive and fruitful collaboration between Australian and Chinese scholars. The fieldwork is accomplished and professional, while the results reported are genuinely original and stimulating.' -- Robin Cohen, University of Warwick, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisReginald Appleyard occupies an eminent position in the field of international migration and development studies. This enlightening volume of essays, in his honour, brings together contributions from a distinguished group of scholars who have known him for many years and hold him in high esteem. Combining judgements and expertise from all fields of the social sciences, this unique book provides a truly inter-disciplinary analysis of one of the most significant emerging problems of the 21st Century.The authors examine different aspects of migration from an international perspective, evaluating the nature and significance of change in the movement of people, and attempting to predict emerging trends in the volume, direction and composition of global migration. The book questions the causes of illegal and refugee migration, the politics of selection and restriction, and the changing determinants of return migration. In particular, the authors emphasise that original approaches and theories are required to study and understand the rapidly changing trends in international migration associated with new technology and globalisation.By addressing issues which are likely to be of growing significance during the 21st century, this thought-provoking book will be of immense value to students, scholars and researchers in the social sciences, and especially the theory and policy of international migration.Trade Review'This volume is a fitting tribute to one of Australia's most celebrated migration scholars.' -- Russell King, International Journal of Popular Geography'International Migration into the 21st Century is most scholarly and original in its contribution to migration and refugee studies.' -- Anthony H. Richmond, Journal of Refugee Studies'. . . there is no doubt that the volume will provide interesting reading. The essays highlight not only the increasing complexity of international migration in the twenty-first century but also society's need to respond innovatively and to courageously challenge established social, economic, and political norms. It is the focus on future developments in international migration that makes the volume a valuable contribution to the migration literature. It is also an excellent focus for a volume to honour Reginald Appleyard, who dedicated his entire academic life to our understanding of international migration.' -- Brigitte Waldorf, The Professional Geographer'This volume of papers is among the best to appear in the prolific literature on international migration published during the last two decades. It should be of value both to the migration specialist and to readers interested in this increasingly critical area of population research.'Table of ContentsContents: Preface In Honour of Reginald Appleyard 1.

Book SynopsisThis book examines the overall trends and labour patterns of migrants, their relationship with the state, and the impacts they have on the societies in which they work and sometimes settle. The book adopts a multidisciplinary perspective which encompasses economics, history, politics, geography, and sociology, and presents a unique body of new empirical research that forms the basis of many of the chapters.The book emphasises the growing importance and value of transnational communities and multiple identities. It covers many of the diverse migration patterns that have recently emerged - from rural out-migration in China, to international labour movements in the Asia Pacific region as a whole. The conditions of many migrant workers are far from satisfactory and this is highlighted in a number of the chapters. Settlement outcomes, when and where they occur, have major policy and social implications and are changing the ethnic composition of many countries in the region. The growth of civil society in Singapore, increased ethnic diversity in Japan and the emergence of New Zealand's multicultural population are all examples of some of the developments that host nations are having to come to terms with.This extensive book presents state-of-the-art research on migration in the Asia Pacific, specifically focusing on the economic, political and social identities of migrants, and the responses of different states to this complex issue. It will be extremely worthwhile reading for students, scholars and researchers in the social sciences, especially those with an interest in geography, demography and the theory and policy of international migration.Trade Review'. . . this is a substantial volume which includes a great deal of material of interest to scholars of international migration. . . the book is to be strongly recommended to scholars and policymakers of Asian migration.' -- Graeme Hugo, Journal of Population Research'This volume offers a comprehensive analysis of migration issues both in terms of geographic coverage and aspects considered. . .

Book SynopsisThis authoritative Handbook provides a comprehensive account of migration and economic development throughout the world, in both developed and developing countries. Some of the world's most experienced researchers in this field look at how population redistribution patterns have impacted on urban development in a wide selection of advanced and developing countries in all the major regions of the world over the past half century. The study results show that, despite local differences there are signs of remarkable similarities in the underlying forces that drive the migration process and urban development across the development spectrum.The International Handbook of Urban Systems is a must for social and economic geographers, urban and regional planners, regional scientists, urban, regional and development economists and sociologists.Trade Review'The volume makes a timely contribution to the international study of urban systems. It is a useful source of theoretical and empirical information on migration urbanization in both developed and developing societies. And it should be consulted by all scholars and students of urban studies, especially those who are interested in comparative, multidisciplinary research on cities and regional economic development.' -- Robert L. Boyd, Journal of Regional Science'This is an extremely useful collection of up-to-date cas studies focusing on the links between population redistribution, migration and urbanisation.' -- Geography'It is difficult to underestimate the potential contribution of this corpus to the understanding of urban systems in spaces that have often been out of bounds to Anglo-American readers, owing to linguistic, cultural and physical barriers. Possibly the greatest strength of the book is its genuinely global character, drawing from a rich body of locally situated knowledge that has hitherto been marginalized in the mainstream geography literature.' -- Stefan Buzar, Progress in Human Geography'This book might be considered a benchmark of demography and urban geography at the beginning of the 21st century, a snapshot of this rapidly changing situation . . .

Book SynopsisIrregular Migration is an extremely timely and topical book, analysing the fundamental tensions at the core of present attempts to manage the movement of population in today's world. Recent events around the globe have prompted a reappraisal of the emerging consensus on migration control. Business demands free movement while nations fear unregulated population flows. The replacement of immigration control with migration management is the aim of First World governments as irregular migration challenges states' attempts to find a balance between recruitment of labour, humanitarian protection and national security. This book provides a theoretical framework for the analysis of mobility and border crossings in an age of globalisation. It draws upon the authors' pioneering research on people working in the UK without proper immigration status, the organisations that support immigrants, and the responses of control agencies and public services. Losers in the global economy, who vote with their feet as economic migrants, are making a claim to justice as well as trying to improve their standards of living. The book concludes with an evaluation of the justification for border controls, and of the prospects for migration regimes under conditions of growing inequality.This fascinating book will be warmly welcomed by academics and researchers in economics, politics, migration studies, social policy and economic geography. NGOs and policymakers concerned with immigration, asylum and public service provision will also find this invaluable reading.Trade Review'Bill Jordan's and Franck Duvell's book is a welcome intervention.

Book SynopsisGlobalisation and social transformation theorists have paid significantly less attention to the movement of people than they have to the movement of capital. This book redresses the balance and provides timely insights into recent developments in return skilled migration in four regions in the Asia Pacific - Bangladesh, China, Taiwan and Vietnam. The authors believe that the movement of skilled migrants, and the tacit knowledge they bring with them, is a vital component in the process of globalisation.The authors examine the patterns and processes of return migration and the impacts it can have on migrants, their families and communities (including gender relations), as well as the effects on both the original source country and the host country. They highlight the many considerations which can influence the decision to return home, including social factors, career-related prospects, and the economic and political environment. Government policies in facilitating return migration through the promotion of entrepreneurship, education and training can also play a crucial role. In the long term, fears of a 'brain drain', under certain circumstances, may be replaced by the prospect of a 'brain gain' or 'global brain circulation', where emigration and immigration (or return migration) co-exist and are supplemented by short-term circulatory movements as a country becomes more integrated into the global economy.This is a pioneering comparative study of return migration in the Asia Pacific based on original primary data. Researchers, academics and students interested in migration, globalisation, demography and social transformation will find this a valuable and highly rewarding book.Trade Review'This edited volume is timely and is probably the first to survey the increasingly prominent phenomenon of return skilled migration in the Asia Pacific. Comprising country-specific studies on Bangladesh, China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, the various contributors seek to capture the nuances of the 'brain drain reversal' and the impact on their home economies as well as the host countries. . . The value of this volume also lies in its being empirically rich. The use of primary data involving a conscious engagement with common methodology and a comparative perspective allows for a 'common language' with which to make comparisons and longitudinal assessments on the developing patterns and trends of return migration.' -- Eugene K.B. Tan, Ethnic and Racial Studies'There are few studies on return migration in general and even fewer on migrants who have returned to their home countries in the Asian and Pacific region. Much is heard about "brain drain' but much less about "brain drain reversal". This book is to be welcomed as the first multi-country study to be published on the return of skilled and business migrants and the impact that they can have on their home economies in Asia and the Pacific. That impact is shown to be various and to change over time, the contributions clearly varying depending upon the nature of the environments to which the migrants have returned. The book presents valuable material from Bangladesh, China, Taiwan and Viet Nam, together with a contextual analysis of migrant communities from these economies in Australia.' -- Ronald Skeldon, University of Sussex, UKTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisImmigration has become a significant public policy issue in all of the developed countries, as well as an important area of study for academic researchers. Barry R. Chiswick has been a pioneer in research on the economics of immigration and has published numerous seminal studies on the labor market, the educational and linguistic adjustment of immigrants, and the impact of immigrants on the host economy. He has also written extensively on various aspects of immigration policy. Now his most influential and widely-cited papers, published over a span of 25 years in a variety of journals and conference volumes, are available in a single volume. The author has written an original essay introducing this valuable collection.Scholars of economics, public policy, sociology, anthropology and immigration will find this book an essential addition to their libraries.Trade Review 'The author presents the findings of a selected number of path-breaking studies regarding the economics of migration. . . this book contributes a series of valid findings on migrants and their pervasive role in the economies of receiving countries. This is achieved by the author's clear and innovative approach to various topics, grounded in solid theory and the detailed observation of a variety of factors contributing to the complex processes of migration . . . Overall, this book is an enlightening account on immigration and its economic effects, which all those joining the migration debate should acknowledge. On a technical level, some readers might be put off by the fact that certain arguments are repeated in different chapters - representing reproducions of original articles published elsewhere. This being so, selected chapters from each part of the volume might be a choice to consider for those more interested in the broader migration topics under discussion. Those with specialist interest in the details of migration, however, should find the sometimes marginal contributions of different chapters useful, as they are synthesised out of a vast literature, spanning three decades of specialised research.' -- Liliana Hiris, Economic Issues'The Economics of Immigration is a valuable omnibus of Chiswick's representative works. By assembling the time-stretched, topic-wide, scattered pieces together, not only does this book offer a convenient reference resource on the subject, but it allows readers to gain retrospective and perhaps prospective insights into the issues examined and to rethink about these issues. . . This excellent book will be an asset for scholars of immigration research, in either economics or other disciplines, and policy-makers and analysts interested in immigration issues.' -- Philip Q. Yang, Ethnic and Racial Studies'Barry Chiswick was a brilliant pioneer on the economics of migration long before it caught the attention of mainstream economists. This collection of his best papers illustrates clearly why he has that favored reputation.' -- Jeffrey G. Williamson, Harvard University, US'A fine collection of outstanding articles documenting Barry Chiswick's role as the Jacob Mincer of migration economics.

Book SynopsisIrregular Migration is an extremely timely and topical book, analysing the fundamental tensions at the core of present attempts to manage the movement of population in today's world. Recent events around the globe have prompted a reappraisal of the emerging consensus on migration control. Business demands free movement while nations fear unregulated population flows. The replacement of immigration control with migration management is the aim of First World governments as irregular migration challenges states' attempts to find a balance between recruitment of labour, humanitarian protection and national security. This book provides a theoretical framework for the analysis of mobility and border crossings in an age of globalisation. It draws upon the authors' pioneering research on people working in the UK without proper immigration status, the organisations that support immigrants, and the responses of control agencies and public services. Losers in the global economy, who vote with their feet as economic migrants, are making a claim to justice as well as trying to improve their standards of living.

Book SynopsisMoving People and Knowledge provides a fresh examination of the processes of highly skilled science migration. Focusing on intra-European mobility and, in particular, on the new dynamics of East-West migration, the authors investigate the movement of Polish and Bulgarian researchers to and from the UK and Germany. Key questions include: who is moving, how long for, and why? In addressing the motivations and experiences of mobile scientists and their families, insights into professional and personal motivations are provided, demonstrating how relationships, networks and infrastructures shape decision-making. This book provides a useful perspective on the implications of increasing researcher mobility - for both sending and receiving regions and the individuals concerned - which is necessary for the construction of future policies on sustainable scientific development. This empirical account provides a nuanced analysis of the duration and flow of scientific mobility showing the prevalence of repeat and shuttle moves in science careers. It will be of particular interest to researchers in European social policy, migration studies and EU law, as well as policymakers in the field of highly skilled migration - especially those working on the free movement of persons provisions and the European Research Area and European Area of Higher Education.Trade Review'The book can be seen as a welcomed contribution to this field of study. . . [it] raises some important questions and problems of scientific mobility.' -- Hogni Kalso Hansen, Papers in Regional Science'This is a very timely book looking at East-West migration, which has recently become a hot political issue in various West European countries. It does an excellent job in laying out the intricacies of mobility that affect different groups, particularly "knowledge migrants". The book successfully shows that "knowledge migrants" follow different motivational routes than other groups of migrants in their choice of mobility between institutes and nations. It makes a valuable contribution to a growing body of research that seeks to change established thinking and rhetoric about migration and to shift it from a dualistic thinking of migration in terms of economic vs. non-economic migrants. What this book shows is that the professional identity of people often supersedes their nationalities in relation to why and where they move.' -- Sami Mahroum, NESTA, UK'Based on excellent empirical research on migrating scientists from Poland and Bulgaria to the UK and Germany, this book follows an innovative agenda which is crucial to the world today - the movement of people and the movement of knowledge. It achieves this by a creative blend of analysing personal stories, embedded in their professional and family networks, on the one hand, and macro-scale discussions of brain drain, brain gain and national and European policy implications on the other.' -- Russell King, University of Sussex, UK'This book makes a timely contribution to understanding the circulation of scientific knowledge via international mobility. It skillfully combines an analysis of structural and institutional changes, with a focus on individual circumstances, life courses and motivations. The outcome is a compelling account of the role of international migration in the transfer of knowledge across borders, and in shaping the careers of individual scientists. This places people and human mobility at the heart of the debate about how the knowledge economy is produced and reproduced.' -- Allan Williams, London Metropolitan University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Marek Okólski 1.

Book SynopsisThis is the first major book on Albanian migration, the most significant East-West migration since the collapse of the Soviet bloc. Prevented from leaving their country for over 45 years, the citizens of the Republic of Albania emigrated en masse during the 1990s and the exodus continues. According to the 2001 census, one in five Albanians was a migrant living abroad, mainly in Greece and Italy but also, and increasingly, in a range of other European countries and in North America. The volume offers a comprehensive and integrated understanding of Albanian migration, addressing its temporal and spatial dynamics, its diversity of types and destinations, and the implications of the migration for Albanian society and economic development. Its contributors comprise key researchers on Albanian migration from around the world. The book reflects the wide diversity of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches deployed by researchers studying this phenomenon.

Book SynopsisAdvanced media technologies -- satellite technology and the Internet -- have transformed immigrants' relations with their departure and arrival societies. Part I -- "Imagining Nation States from Afar" -- extends Benedict Anderson's model of the nation as an imagined community; discussion focuses on how immigrants are enabled to imagine their native national communities from afar, almost as if they never left their homelands. As a result, new typologies of migrants are created, such as the passive trans-national. A comprehensive analytic framework for the role of advanced media technologies in fostering relations between immigrants and their national communities of origin is presented. In addition the author explores, through biographical research with immigrants of diverse nationalities, the spectrum of responses imagination of national communities from afar invokes among different types of immigrants (the sojourner, the member of an ethnic community and the long-distance national). Part II -- "Imagining the Muslim Nation State from Afar" -- explores how Muslim-Arab religious scholars, envisioning the rise of a global Muslim nation, have developed over the past thirty years a theory that tasks Muslims living in the West with specific duties within the framework of their anticipated global Muslim nation. These Muslim-Arab religious scholars and other advocates were quick to discover the merits of advanced media technologies in enhancing their vision of global Islam. The author's biographical field research was conducted with devout Muslim-Arabs in five mosques in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. His research illustrates how the proliferation of this global Muslim media plays an increasingly important -- albeit yet still limited -- role in shaping the identity of Muslim immigrants. These specific challenges to the foundations of the modern liberal nation state are ripe for discussion given the world-wide concern over immigration and its consequences.Table of ContentsIntroduction; The Territorial Dimension of Modern National Imageries; National Imageries & Modern Migration; Imagination from Afar: Internet, Satellite Television & Migration; Imagining the Homeland from Afar; Constructing the Identity of Muslim Immigrants in the West: The Theoretical Makings of an Imagined Global Nation; Global Media for a Global Nation: Advanced Technologies in the Service of the Ummah; The Muslim Nation: European & German Contexts; Imagining the Muslim Nation from Afar; Index.

Book SynopsisThis collection of essays brings together leading experts in the study of exile and expatriation, whose historical and comparative perspectives enable readers to understand the phenomenon of forced displacement in the Americas. Political exile, a major political practice throughout most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, is still an under-researched topic. While ubiquitous and fascinating, with some notable and important exceptions, until recently it has been conceived as somewhat marginal for the development of these societies, instead being studied in the framework of traditional concepts and concerns in history and the social sciences. Following recent developments that highlight the centrality of diasporas and transnational studies, of transience and relocation, this book proposes that the study of exile should become a topic of central concern, closely related to basic theoretical problems and controversies on the structure of power, national representation and transnational displacement. The editors and contributors approach these issues through a nuanced reading of context and history. The work discusses the formative impact of exile in many of these societies at different times, while analysing how it evolved and changed its character throughout the centuries. The systematic studies brought together in this volume will likely generate new readings of history and the societies in the Americas and the Diasporas, moving away from the traditional understanding of national histories towards more regional, transnational and even continental dimensions.

Book SynopsisSoutheast Asia has long been a crossroad of cultural influence and transnational movement, but the massive migration of Southeast Asians throughout the world in recent decades is historically unprecedented. Dispersal, compelled by economic circumstance, political turmoil, and war, engenders personal, familial, and spiritual dislocation, and provokes a questioning of identity and belonging. This volume features original works by scholars from Asia, America, and Europe that highlight these trends and perspectives on Southeast Asian migration within and beyond the Asia-Pacific region. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach -- with contributions from sociology, political science, anthropology, and history -- and anchored in empirical case studies from various Southeast Asian countries, it extends the scope of inquiry beyond the economic concerns of migration, and beyond a single country source or destination, and disciplinary focus. Analytic focus is placed on the forces and factors that shape migration trajectories and migrant incorporation experiences in Asia and Europe; the impact of migration and immigration status on individuals, families, and institutions, on questions of equity, inclusion, and identity; and the triangulated relationships between diasporic communities, the sending and receiving countries. Of particular importance is the scholarly attention to lesser known populations and issues such as Vietnamese in Poland, children and the 1.5 generation immigrants, health and mental consequences of state sponsored violence and protracted encampment, ethnic media, and the challenges of both transnational parenting and family reunification. In examining the complex and creative negotiations that immigrants engage locally and transnationally in their daily lives, it foregrounds immigrant resilience in the strategies they adopt not only to survive but thrive in displacement.

Book SynopsisThe post-war decades of the 1950s to the 1970s saw a mass migration from Cyprus to the UK. More recent years, however, have witnessed a 'return' to Cyprus of the British-born children of Cypriot migrants in the UK. Drawing on multi-site fieldwork, and adopting a life narrative approach, this book offers a refreshing and contemporary account of the motives, experiences and life views of these second-generation British Cypriots, as they choose to build their lives in their parents' birth country: a Cyprus that has been dramatically altered by globalisation, mass tourism and immigration since the first generation of immigrants left for British shores. Unlike their parents, who moved from Cyprus to the UK mainly out of economic necessity, this new generation of migrants tends to view their relocation to Cyprus as a lifestyle choice. And while the first generation of Cypriot migrants in the UK generally worked and socialised within the bounds of the Cypriot community, the British-born 'return' migrants in Cyprus embrace a more international lifestyle, beyond primordial ethnic or national boundaries -- observations which challenge the hypothesis that second-generation return migration is based on an essential longing to go back to one's 'roots'. The author examines the complexities and ambivalences involved when exploring ideas of 'identity', 'return', 'home' and 'belonging' in the ancestral homeland -- demonstrating how boundaries of such notions are blurred, eroded and re-established by a new generation of migrants, reflecting their time, experiences, choices and ideologies. The book is essential reading for all those involved in Migration Studies and Cultural Anthropology.Trade ReviewA shining example of the very best of interdisciplinary migration studies scholarship. -- Russell King, Department of Geography, University of Sussex
