Migration, immigration and emigration Books

Book SynopsisThis volume provides an important assembly of research findings for all who are interested either in changing or reinforcing present immigration policy. Both comprehensive and up-to-date, the study of the demographic, economic, and social interaction between immigration and internal mobility in the U.S. is based on a fresh analysis of the most recent data from all major available sources.Covering the past century through the present, the research reflects the concerns and problems of communities that receive migrants, as well as those of the migrants themselves. It provides a factual basis for negotiation between the strong demands for liberalized immigration laws and the equally strong public reaction toward unauthorized immigration. Emphasis is placed upon metropolitan areas, and their central cities and suburban communities. The authors study the role of mobility in neighborhood 'turnover' from one ethnic group to another, and how mobility both sustains and weakens clustering by income class, and individual motives for mobility. They find that the hypothesis of the 'healthy immigrant' does not extend into, but is in fact reversed, in old age. The book documents how the long-term economic and social adjustment of immigrants is highly dependent upon their skill level and education at time of entry, and discusses the implications of unauthorized immigration. This multidisciplinary and highly readable volume will appeal to demographers, economists and public policy specialists, as well as academics in labor and industrial economics, sociology, and geography.Trade Review'It is a lucid account, replete with detail, supported by extensive tables, and written in a form that will be readily accessible to a wide readership.' -- Martin Bell, Journal of Population ResearchTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisThis timely book examines the immense surges in immigration since the mid-1990s in Australia and the United States, two of the world's most important settler-receiving countries.Australia's shift to a points-based, skills-oriented system is contrasted with the political deadlock that has prevented any basic change in US immigration policy during this period. Focusing on immigration policy trends, effects on labour markets, successes and failures in integrating massive numbers of new immigrants, and the future of multiculturalism, the book ponders many of the policy dilemmas that confront both countries.Drawing on extensive research findings in the field of immigration policy, this book will prove a fascinating read for both scholars and postgraduate students working on immigration, as well as undergraduates studying courses on Australia and comparisons of the Australian and American policy arenas. Public servants engaged in administering Australian and US immigration policies will also find this book invaluable.Trade Review'. . . the true strength of this book is the chapters stand as well alone as they do together, allowing the reader to peruse those of most interest. This work provides enough to whet the intellectual appetite, providing an overview and basic introduction to some of the current key issues on immigration in the two countries, and provides many references for readers interested in learning more.' -- Nikoleta Rukaj, Journal of Population Research'. . . the volume provides an important contribution to international immigration (policy) studies and will serve as a useful resource for students and expert readers alike.' -- Martina Boese, Pacific Affairs'The book will be a good addition to policymakers', faculty, and student libraries, and they will find themselves going back to the book time after time for data and information that they can compare with their own country's history and statistics. Even though the focus is on two specific countries, it is a timely piece of scholarship and one that should be read by all those in the field of immigration. The editors are to be congratulated for putting together an excellent and timely book on immigration issues.' -- James Frideres, Canadian Studies in Population'These papers capture the pluralist phenomenon of two of the largest immigrant-receiving countries of all time. Within this 200+ page volume, then, is to be found a truly informative mass of data (complete with graphs, tables and statistics) and learned analyses pertaining to the twin-focus of its title which will serve as a valuable tool of reference and reflection by all who have an interest in the subject.' -- Ramnik Shah, Immigration, Asylum and Nationality LawTable of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Book SynopsisThis fascinating study compares and contrasts the immense internal migration movements in China and Indonesia. Over the next two decades, approximately two-thirds of the rural labour force is expected to migrate, transforming their respective societies from primarily rural to urban based. Whilst both countries face similar challenges as hundreds of millions of people move, the policies implemented and their consequences are very different. Using an extensive range of qualitative and quantitative data, the contributors explore the impact of migration on migrants and their families, as well as the rural communities they leave behind and the urban communities they enter. They discover that migrants earn less and face discrimination in the urban labour market, although more so in China where there are greater restrictions. However migration contributes to a more equal distribution of income in urban China and to lowering poverty in rural China, and migrants fare better on health and poverty indicators in Indonesia.The Great Migration will strongly appeal to researchers, economists and sociologists with a special interest in migration and development studies. Policy-makers in both China and Indonesia will also find much to fascinate them within this highly original book.Trade Review‘The Great Migration represents a milestone in the study of Chinese migration. After two decades of research on the largest migration in human history, the authors seek to contextualize this process by contrasting it with rural–urban migration in Indonesia. Moreover, their carefully constructed data set offers the potential to study the evolution of this dynamic process over time from a variety of perspectives. . .’ -- Kenneth Roberts, The China Journal‘After a quarter century of double-digit growth, 135 million rural migrants were living in China’s cities by 2007. This massive migration exceeds anything else recorded in human history. Based on new survey data, The Great Migration explores cause and effect while comparing China’s restrictive with Indonesia’s liberal migration policies. The result is the best book on rural-urban migration thus far.’ -- Jeffrey G. Williamson, Harvard University and University of Wisconsin, Madison, USTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThis unique book synthesizes and extends the immigrant-trade literature and provides comprehensive coverage of this timely and important topic. In that vein, the author contributes to the understanding of the relationship between immigration and trade and sheds light on a noteworthy aspect of globalization that both confronts policymakers with challenges and offers the potential to overcome them. Roger White documents the pro-trade influences that immigrants have on US imports from, and exports to, their respective home countries. Variations in the immigrant-trade link are addressed, as are the underlying factors that may determine the existence and operability of that link. The findings have direct implications for US immigration policy, suggesting that too few immigrants are currently admitted to the country and that a more liberal immigration policy may enhance social welfare. This book contains valuable economic analyses for undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, educated laypersons and practitioners who are interested in public policy, international trade and economics, migration studies, international relations and globalization.Table of ContentsContents: Part I: What is the Immigrant–Trade Link and Why it Matters 1.

Book SynopsisThis insightful study explores the growth of the two largest post-industrial immigrant nations since the Second World War - Australia and Israel. Almost one in four Australians were born outside the country, more than one in three Israelis. Immigration and Nation Building brings a comparative approach to the discussion of patterns of immigration, legal structures, the labour market, civil society, public opinion, and integration of the second generation. The result is a thought provoking analysis of the distinctive and universal in the development of two immigrant nations. By comparing the experiences of these two countries, this ground-breaking study of immigration and its impact will appeal to policy analysts and researchers in government and academia, as well as students in the areas of sociology, politics, economics and history.Trade Review‘. . . the book is an important study on immigrants in Australia and Israel in the twentieth century, and has important implications for social policy formation, immigration policy, and the creation of a sense of nationhood in these two diverse countries, even as both of them signify the need for convergence and adoption of a humane approach to the sensitivities of migrant polulations. The book is thus a welcome addition to the existing literature on immigration, and would prove useful to researchers of social and political policies. The presentation, production and editing of the book are also of appreciable quality, and overall the book offers stimulating reading at an affordable price.’ -- Biswajit Chatterjee, The Indian Journal of Labour Economics‘Immigration and Nation Building examines a dilemma shared by Israel and Australia with many other countries: they are nations of immigrants, but continued immigration introduces fractures and inequalities that could undermine the sense of nationhood. Systematic comparisons across many dimensions help the reader to view each country’s experience from a new perspective. The analyses here provide a solid basis for addressing the underlying policy questions: Whose Israel? Whose Australia?’ -- John R. Logan, Brown University, US‘This book provides a comprehensive perspective on the role of immigration in nation building. It does so not only through the demographic change that migration brought about, but by revealing how immigration impacted on major spheres of life in both Australia and Israel. The central focus on the comparative perspective makes this book distinctive. Rather than providing parallel stories of two societies, the chapters are structured in a way that specifically fleshes out similarities and differences in major areas of immigration policy and immigrant incorporation. It should appeal to students of international migration as well as those interested more directly in understanding Australian and Israeli societies.’ -- Noah Lewin-Epstein, Tel Aviv University, Israel‘This is a concise yet comprehensive analysis of the role of immigration in the nation building of Australia and Israel. With contributions by leading scholars and a thoughtful examination of recent data and research the book provides an important contribution to the study of immigration in each society, while also convincingly demonstrating the benefits of comparative cross-national analysis. It deserves to be widely read by social scientists and others who are interested in the factors that have shaped Australian and Israeli societies and who also want to understand how immigration continues to be central to their future development.’ -- Mark Western, The University of Queensland, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Andrew Markus and Moshe Semyonov 1.

Book SynopsisThis engaging book addresses the question of how diverse communities, whether in a nation, city or organization, can live together and prosper whilst retaining and enjoying their cultural differences. This is a particularly pertinent issue in the context of the modern world where mass migration and immigration are pervasive global phenomena. This volume brings together a series of contributors from various disciplines and cultural settings to address two central questions: how does cultural diversity contribute to or hamper central notions of sustainability such as human welfare, social cohesion or socio-economic development? how can cultural diversity unfold in a positive way through particular forms of interactions, processes and structures? The authors offer a conceptual discussion on the meaning and operationalization of sustainability within various contexts and settings. They provide concrete examples of the contribution of sustainable diversity to prosperous nations, communities and companies, but also identify a number of tensions which may undermine this positive potential. They highlight recognition, empowerment and inclusion as the three fundamental pillars on which policies should be built in order to create the necessary trust and legitimacy that provide the foundations for truly sustainable diversity Combining extensive theory and practice, this unique volume will be required reading for post-graduate students and researchers in a wide range of subjects connected to cultural diversity such as economics, sociology, anthropology, public policy and organization studies.Trade Review‘In the global context of mass migration, this book is a timely and valuable contribution to urban policy and organization studies. . . Recommended’ -- D.A. Chekki, Choice‘This is a very useful book on a very important subject. The preservation of the rich and diverse body of cultures that history and continued diversity provide is of great significance for humanity and the welfare of society. The failure to appreciate, and even to hate other cultures, is surely a threat to world peace and civilization. I particularly value the chapters that focus on policy and provide evidence indicating what policy approaches are effective and which are not.’ -- William J.

Book SynopsisIn this noteworthy collection, the editors present the key articles published over the past twenty years which illustrate three related 'modes' of governing migration: a national mode, an international mode and a transnational mode. In recent years a new phase of migration policy-making has emerged: nation states, international organizations and NGOs have increasingly directed their efforts towards cooperative management of transnational flows and networks.

Book SynopsisMigration and Culture marks a first in providing a comprehensive collection of published articles linking migration and culture. Prior approaches to migration have often stressed statistical and economic factors. The theoretically challenging and comparative accounts represented here are part of a new wave of thinking which illustrates the meaning of migration and its profound cultural implications. With an original introductory essay by the editors, this title will be of great interest and value to sociologists, anthropologists, and those interested in cultural studies, diaspora, transnationalism and post-colonialism and the cultural aspects of globalisation.Trade Review‘Cohen and Jónsson have assembled an impressive array of contributions that will interest researchers, teachers, and students who wish to understand the complex relationships between migration and culture. They begin with their own original essay on the complicated relationship between culture and migration. Informative and wide-ranging, it performs the important task of defining culture. . . This introductory essay provides a good, substantive overview of issues surrounding the topic of migration and culture. . . This book deserves the attention of all scholars who study migration. The contributions vividly reflect the international character of research on migration and culture, demonstrating that social scientists around the world, analyzing migration in its many different contexts, are profoundly advancing knowledge about the relationship between it and culture. . . In addition, the collection convincingly reveals that ethnographic methods of investigation are shedding new light on the noneconomic causes and consequences of migration that have been unduly neglected by quantitative studies. Economists, sociologists, and geographers would gain an appreciation of this brand of qualitative research by consulting the volume. Finally, the contributions provide rich evidence that the traditional model of migration, settlement, adaptation, and assimilation that has guided research should be replaced by a fresh theoretical approach that conceptualizes migration in terms of transnational identities and transnational communities.’ -- Robert L.

Book SynopsisIn this important collection, Professor Hugo draws together key articles and papers by leading scholars and agencies which investigate the current and future effects of climate change on migration. Topics covered include the impact of climate change on the movement of people within and across countries, the economic and social effects of the forced displacement and resettlement of migrants, the flows of migration resulting from environmental disasters, the risks of conflict and the implications of climate change for vulnerable areas e.g deltas, atolls and coastal regions. The title concludes with an examination of what the policy responses of governments and international agencies are and should be.Trade Review‘Graeme Hugo assembled an excellent collection of previously published articles on all aspects of the connection between migration of people and climate change. . . . those included here would be an excellent place to state if someone wanted to cover most of the important topics and researched areas in the overlap between migration and climate change during the last 20 years. This collection provides a good mixture of theoretical and empirical studies, with several articles combining both theory and data.’ -- Bill Marr, Canadian Studies in PopulationTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction Graeme Hugo PART I ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND MIGRATION 1.

Book SynopsisTo what extent does development influence migration? How does migration affect development? In recent years, there has been a huge amount of research into such questions about what has come to be known as the migration-development nexus. In this important collection, Oliver Bakewell draws together key articles by leading scholars which investigate past and current thinking on the complex linkages between migration and development. The volume studies the impacts of levels of development on both internal and international migration and the impacts of migration on economic and social change in both origin and destination areas. Further topics covered include the influence of transnationalism and diasporas. It presents the reasons for the rise of the migration-development nexus and concludes by offering some critical perspectives on it.With an original introductory chapter by the editor, this volume will be of great interest and value to scholars and policymakers alike.Table of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements Introduction The Development and Migration Journey Oliver Bakewell PART I EARLY OVERVIEWS OF LINKAGES BETWEEN MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT 1.

Book SynopsisStructural needs for immigrant labor in health care, restaurant, tourism, agricultural and other economic sectors, together with harsher economic circumstances in most sending countries, almost certainly ensure the continuation of large-scale immigration to the US and Australia. But in harder times, especially in the US, sustaining this immigration while managing immigrants' economic and social integration are daunting tasks. This illuminating book analyzes how well, and in what ways, the US and Australia will meet these challenges. This companion volume to Nations of Immigrants examines immigration to the US and Australia during the difficult economic times following the paralysis of financial firms and markets in New York and London in autumn 2008, quickly affecting Australia and most other OECD countries. The contributors - prominent American and Australian immigration specialists - discuss how the financial crisis has altered the nexus of domestic labor markets and immigration, how public fears spurred by harder times are affecting border protection and support for immigration, whether serious abrasions between foreign- and native-born populations are resulting, and the extent to which the politics of immigration is being transformed. Immigration and the Financial Crisis will prove a thought provoking read for academics and students with an interest in immigration, and American and Australian policy arenas. The book will also prove an invaluable reference tool for public servants engaged in administering US and Australian immigration policies.Trade Review‘This book is a valuable addition to the literature on contemporary immigration trends in the US and Australia and the role of economic factors in influencing these trends. The various chapters show that economic migrants are affected by, and respond to, changes in labour market conditions, but specific outcomes vary and are also dependent on other (non-economic) factors. Similarly, other factors besides economic conditions determine immigration policies and politics in the two countries. The book’s narratives and empirical analyses of what happened to immigration and immigrants during the financial crisis years of 2008–2009 in the two countries constitute an important record of the two countries’ immigration experience during those years.’ -- Siew-Ean Khoo, Journal of Population ResearchTable of ContentsContents: Foreword 1.

Book SynopsisWhat will citizenship mean to the peoples of a new, wider Europe? Welfare state retrenchment and technological change in the work place are undermining social citizenship rights and provoking a critical assessment of the West European concept itself. In the light of these changes, what models can the democratic, industrialized states of the West offer the transitional economies of the East?This innovative book presents new work by an international group of leading social scientists offers historical analysis and empirical description, as well as theoretical and political assessments, of work and citizenship in Europe. It examines the erosion of the welfare state, the emergence of poverty and the underclass, and the rights and duties connected with social citizenship. After a review of labour rights and obligations in the former socialist countries, it also assesses the state of industrial citizenship. It asks why the technological transformation of work tends to create segmentation and exclusion and argues for a debate about economic citizenship rights.Work and Citizenship in the New Europe concludes with theoretical and political arguments in favour of specific social policies on work and citizenship, examining such issues as labour participation, basic income guarantees and durable economic growth.Table of ContentsPart 1 Work and citizenship in central and eastern Europe: citizenship and the right to work in Bulgaria, Dimitrina Dimitrova and Stefan Dimitrov; citizenship and the organization of work under "perestroika", Gregory Andrusz; unification, solidarity and equality - dilemmas of trade union strategies in Germany, Jens Bastian.

Book SynopsisRegional integration, mass migration and the development of transnational organizations are just some of the factors challenging the traditional definitions of citizenship. In this important new book, Rainer Baubock argues that citizenship rights will have to extend beyond nationality and state territory if liberal democracies are to remain true to their own principles of inclusive membership and equal basic rights. In Transnational Citizenship theoretical discussion of the definition and extension of citizenship rights is combined with comparative policy analysis on rules of naturalization and expatriation in liberal democratic states. An important distinction is drawn between nominal citizenship, which refers to the legal status of membership, and substantial citizenship, which concerns the distribution of basic rights in a state. Three areas where states can become more open to the acceptance of migrants as citizens are suggested: naturalization, the extension of citizenship rights to non-citizens and the admission of immigrants. Although the author still regards citizenship in terms of membership of territorially bounded states, he argues that it can no longer be defined by the model of national communities.In exploring what it means to accept migrants as members of liberal democracies, Rainer Baubock has made a singular contribution to our understanding of citizenship and the right to migration. Innovative without being utopian, this important book will be welcomed by political and sociological theorists, migration researchers and lawyers concerned with issues of migration and naturalization.Trade Review’This is a provocative and timely book. . .’Table of ContentsPart I Membership: territorial boundaries; attributed membership; foundational consent; consent in entry; consent in exit; membership decisions and associations; collective membership and self-determination. Part II Rights: entitlement and liberties; special and general rights; scarcity and alienability of rights; collective rights; rights and obligations; migration rights.

Book SynopsisAt the end of the twentieth century with the increased flows of capital, ideas, commodities and peoples, migration - a central concern of early sociology - has again assumed global significance.The Sociology of Migration is a collection of over 15 articles covering such themes as the peculiarity of migrant labour, the dynamics of international labour migration, women migrants, enclaves and labour markets, the effects of remittances and return migration to the country of origin, migration and the social structure, refugees and displaced persons, the brain drain, migration in Asia and the effects of migration on the state-system.This substantial, skilfully edited volume addresses a difficult and complex area that cannot easily be studied through one textbook. This collection present - in one accessible volume - the articles and papers required to form a clear understanding of the area ensuring it will be widely used by sociologists and migration scholars.Trade Review'A collection like this is useful as it helps save time in the search for relevant literature and helps finding interesting articles from less-known journals one might have missed otherwise. Together the volumes comprise a large collection of contributions to migration research, and therefore may have great practical value to those engaged in it - particularly those just starting their research.' -- Clara H.

Book SynopsisThe Politics of Migration is an authoritative collection which includes the most important articles and papers that document and analyse the political impact and consequences of migration since World War II. It assesses the impact of migration on class conflict and politics in the host country and the strategies adopted by the state to manage the political activities and demands of new ethnic minority communities. It also covers the rise of racist politics, especially electoral support for anti-immigrant far right parties. Special emphasis is placed on the politics of citizenship and political engagement as the new settlers adopt political strategies in order to combat exclusion, racism and oppression and to achieve recognition and legitimacy.Trade Review’The politics of migration is an understated dimension of international migration but, perhaps, over the long haul the most important. Immigration affects politics in multiple ways: it introduces potential new actors into a political system, links at least two different polities, and can have an important effect on political institutions and forces on the homeland and the receiving country. Study of the politics of migration was rare until the 1990s. The volume does a good job of bringing together key pieces from the1970s and 1980s.’- Mark J.

Book SynopsisLaw and Migration is an authoritative volume which draws on statutory and case law to expose the limitations of the law in protecting the individual caught in the complex web of national and regional constraints on migration. International law provides for the exercise of the sovereign power of states to control the entry of non-nationals. However, more recent international conventions have shown a growing awareness of the failure of the law to protect individuals and their families from violation of their human rights and civil liberties. Whilst avoiding open conflict with the principle of sovereignty, national courts have strived to comply with the spirit of human rights conventions and have often decided in favour of individuals. Despite this, border and internal controls on entry continue to proliferate. Globally the failure to establish an adequate legal framework which takes account of forced migration caused by wars and natural disasters has provoked a debate beyond the traditional legal norms. This volume presents a selection of published work from a variety of countriest and addresses the theoretical questions and policy issues which will continue to tax lawyers in the twenty first century.Trade Review'Law and Migration provides the reader with an impressive compilation of articles on immigration law and its effects on the individual within a transitory global society. . . . Law and Migration, through its efficient presentation of important recent scholarship, succeeds in providing a series of articles that focus on some of the most pressing issues in Western immigration law.'Table of ContentsPart I International law and the protection of human rights. Part II International law and refugees. Part III Constiutionalism, due process and the courts. Part IV Race, gender and class issues in immigration and asylum law.

Book SynopsisEuropean integration, the collapse of state socialism and the relative decline of social democracy have left only two dominant European ideologies: nationalism and the free market. In Citizenship and Democratic Control in Contemporary Europe a distinguished group of scholars argues that a democratically reconstructed Europe requires a new approach centred around a concept of citizenship which is neither individualistic nor ethnically based but is concerned with the empowerment of individuals. The authors propose the development of a well-structured and pluralistic civic society which encourages active citizenship and a definition of democratic citizenship which can be expressed through self-organized social activity. Addressing issues central to the future of European democracy - including politics and political processes, economic and social policy, and ideology, language and communication - this important book challenges many of the existing assumptions about the revolutions of 1989, their aftermath and the future of post-Cold War Europe. Insightful and policy relevant, this book will be welcomed by sociologists, political scientists and economists interested in the ideologies underpinning European society.Trade Review'A stimulating work that challenges many of the existing assumptions about the revolutions of 1989, their aftermath and the future of post-Cold War Europe.'Table of ContentsPart 1: Nation-states, European institutions, and citizenship, Mary Kaldor; democracy and nationalism in Czechoslovakia, Zdenek Kavan; German identities - the impact of unification, Peter Lambert; from single European act to Maastricht - the creation of the European Union, Peter Holmes; gender and citizenship in east Central Europe after the end of state socialist policies for women's emancipation, Barbara Einhorn.

Book SynopsisThis major reference collection describes and reviews the contribution which geographers have made to the charting, description, analysis and understanding of this age-old phenomenon. Migration is one of the dominant forces reshaping modern societies. The traditional concerns of geographers with flows, spatial differentiation and the power of place have given them unique understandings in the study of migration relevant to contemporary problems. Geographers have been able to make a distinctive contribution to knowledge about this phenomenon, from the laws of Ravenstein to the humanistic accounts of those caught up in refugee movements.Geography and Migration includes macrolevel descriptions to examine whether migration takes place in discernible flows and whether there are regularities in migration patterns or in the characteristics, origin and behaviour of migrants. Micro and macro-level explanations follow and address the impact of life cycle, quality of life and search factors. The final section includes essays and papers on the impact of migration on participants, source areas and destinations.Trade Review’The papers for inclusion are judiciously selected and will prove invaluable for lecturers and students needing to put their hands quickly on references. The selection includes both classic texts and less familiar material.’- Ceri Peach, Journal of Ethnic and Migration StudiesTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Part I: Macro-Level Description Part II: Micro-Level and Macro Level Explanations Part III: Impacts Upon Participants, Source Areas, Destination Regions and Destination Countries Name Index

Book SynopsisMigration in Europe is a pressing social and political issue for the policy makers of the 1990s. Drawing upon a wide body of knowledge, expertise and analysis, European Migration in the Late Twentieth Century combines an important survey with a series of detailed country studies on migration in Europe.The authoritative overview essay by the editors examines migration to and within Europe. They compare the flows during the last forty years with the present situation, detailing both the magnitude and geography of migration over this period. This is followed by thirteen individual country studies each of which features an historical introduction to emigration and immigration in the featured country, quantitative data sets and a detailed assessment of the social and political implications. These studies - specially prepared by leading scholars - cover the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Israel, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, the former Yugoslavia and the former USSR.This comprehensive and scholarly book will be welcomed by teachers and researchers of social sciences and history for presenting new insights on one of the key political, social and economic issues facing modern Europe.Trade Review'The discussions of migration to Switzerland, Italy and Austria give this book a special flavour, since these countries are not often included in studies of foreign migration . . . One important contribution of this book is that the case studies show how migration, in spite of numerous differences, can give rise to similar issues. The historical approach brings the second contribution into perspective: continuity of debate and of policy reactions.' -- Jan van Weesep, European Journal of Population'On the whole, the volume has handbook-like qualities and will remain both a reference work and a summary of major issues for a long time. It will do so even if new developments should invalidate some of the well-reasoned analyses of trends. No scholar venturing beyond the limiting confines of mono-country research will be able to do without it.' -- Dirk Hoerder, International Migration Review'The chapters on East Europe do an excellent job of laying out what is known about population movements to and from the region, both in the past and since the upheaval in the Communist world in the late eighties.' -- Gary P. Freeman, Journal of Public Policy'The migration specialist will probably be most interested in the section on East-Central Europe, and find much of the content on western Europe fairly familiar. The more general reader, coming to the subject fresh, will value this book as a thorough entry into major trends, issues and debates, on both international and national scales. For both, it will provide access to useful statistical material and interpretations in a wide range of foreign languages. . . . a welcome addition to the literature in this important field.' -- Political Geography'. . . a good summary of the state of knowledge of aspects of recent migration trends in Europe.' -- Dudley Baines, Population StudiesTable of ContentsContents: Part I: Introduction 1.

Book SynopsisThis two-volume collection of articles on European migration during the 19th and 20th centuries examines the motivations for migration, drawing on the particular experience of Irish, German, Scottish, Italian, Scandinavian and other European migrants, as well as those who migrated to Europe, such as West Indian migrants into Britain. The first volume examines the hostility faced by migrants, both in their home countries and their countries of destination. The second volume considers the contributions migrants have made to their host countries, and compares the experiences of different migrant groups. In addition, the continuing links between migrants and their countries of origin is explored through a series of essays and papers. Altogether there are 51 articles, dating from 1950 to 1994.Table of ContentsVolume 1: general studies; an historical overview; neglected groups; hostility. Volume 2: new lives in new environments; comparative perspectives; links with the past and the road home; the future history of migration.

Book SynopsisThe major industrialized countries are undergoing a significant demographic transition associated with low fertility rates combined with reduced mortality rates. A major consequence of the current transition is that populations are expected to age substantially over the next forty years. This innovative book studies the effects of population ageing with the associated factor of immigration, on social expenditure and public finance.The authors begin by providing an introduction to some of the main issues concerning population ageing and migration. This is followed by a discussion of the demographic and economic aspects of the transition towards an older population which is taking place in the major industrialized countries. Within this framework the impacts of ageing on government budgets and the labour market are analysed. The book then turns to a discussion of some of the economic, social and demographic issues related to immigration. Particular emphasis is placed on the Australian economy, which provides an interesting case study in view of its high immigration levels, particularly over the last fifty years. The authors project population structure and social expenditure patterns under a variety of assumptions concerning the number and composition of immigrants. The quantitative techniques developed to produce these projections can be applied without modification to any other country. Population Ageing, Migration and Social Expenditure will be of use to academics and students with an interest in public finance, public policy and population studies.Trade Review'. . . the study has been useful for its exploration of the effect of decomposition and issues such as social expenditure and the ratio of social expenditure to GDP. The ideas for the research were commendable, the literature review with its examples from other countries was most revealing, and the economic skills of the authors were clearly evident.'Table of ContentsContents: Part I: Introduction Part II: Population Ageing and Migration Part III: Population Decomposition Part IV: Population and Expenditure Projections Index

Book SynopsisIn the age of globalization, the importance of migration for the industrialized countries has increased. Inflows of migrants have steadily risen in the 1980s and the early 1990s. Yet while the public debate about policy responses to these developments continues unabated, research findings of economists are often ignored. In this four-volume collection the editors have selected some of the most significant contributions on the economics of migration, which provide an overview of the present state of empirical migration research. Topics covered include the migration decision, the integration of immigrants into the labor market and society, their economic behavior, empirical and theoretical contributions to migration policy, and the effects of immigrants on the native population.Trade Review'. . . it should be difficult to find a better compilation of fine research work on the microeconomics of migration covering the period from 1919 to 2000. The four volumes should therefore be a must for researchers and recommended reading for students and policymakers interested in regional and cross-border labour flows.' -- Federico Foders, Review of World Economics'The collection of reprinted, scholarly articles is useful both for economists starting research in the field and as a guide to the literature for graduate students.' -- Sandra E. Belanger, American Reference Books Annual 2003'This collection brings together every article on immigration that I have ever used in my graduate and undergraduate labour economics courses (plus a number of others as well). Many of these are quite old and thus hard to locate, but are still the best on their topics. All aspects of immigration are covered, ranging from the determinants of individuals' migration decisions, to the impacts of those decisions on the individual, to their effects on both sending and receiving countries. All in all, it is nice to see these 'old friends' collected together in one convenient place.' -- Daniel S.

Book SynopsisThere is a common assumption that immigrants contribute significantly to the breakdown of social cohesion. However, researchers and policymakers find that, on the contrary, immigrants contribute much to their adopted societies economically, socially, culturally and politically. This volume includes a variety of key works which explore this relationship between migration and social cohesion. The articles by some of the foremost writers in the field cover models and frameworks of immigrant incorporation, debates in multicultural policy, immigrant and ethnic minority political participation, citizenship, entrepreneurship and language and sociocultural adaptation.This authoritative collection will be of interest to students and professional researchers in sociology and anthropology, political science, cultural studies and migration and ethnic studies.Trade Review'The volume under review can be described as a teacher's goldmine . . . the volume can serve well as a general introduction to a complex field of study.' -- Hans van Amersfoort, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies'With its very comprehensive introduction and representative selection of articles, this volume will serve as a well-guided tour through the wilderness of concept and theories on immigrant incorporation.' -- Eva ostergaard-Nielsen, The Ethnic Conflict Research DigestTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements • Introduction Part I: Frameworks 1.

Book SynopsisThis authoritative collection brings together the most significant papers by leading scholars in an increasingly important area of study. Social scientists and political analysts are becoming more and more aware of the importance of long-maintained or newly embellished links between post-migration communities and the societies from which they originate. Closely tied to this field is a renewed interest in 'diasporas' or globally dispersed groups whose collective experiences often draw on deep historical roots in more than one place.The articles selected for this volume represent key contemporary theories, comparative research and case studies. Contributors are drawn from the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, economics, cultural studies, political science and history. Migration, Diaporas and Transnationalism will be a valuable resource for students and professional researchers who have an interest in migration, globalization, ethnic relations, culture and identity.Trade Review'. . . this book is a valuable resource which has collected together an important range of contributions, many of which may not be easy to track down for the individual scholar.' -- Claire Dwyer, Progress in Human Geography'. . . this collection is a fine overview of contributions to an interesting and promising new research field, and it will be a good resource for professional scholars and especially for students in the field.' -- Boris Slijper, Journal of International Migration and IntegrationTable of ContentsContents: Acknowledgements • Introduction Part I: Reappraising Contemporary Migration 1.

Book SynopsisMigration and Public Policy brings together the most significant papers by leading scholars on both international and internal migration. It investigates the role of governments in encouraging, discouraging or forcing such migration.

Book SynopsisDuring the growth process inequality may rise or decline, and the change in the level of inequality may, in turn, affect growth. An increase in inequality in one place and better prospects of growth and earnings elsewhere can trigger migration. As a result of these close affecting links between factors, each of the eighteen studies - a mix of both theoretical and empirical - is concerned with at least two of these issues, and is classified into one of three general parts in accordance with the theme that is mostly emphasised. The main focus of the papers appearing in the first part of the book is on inequality and its effects on growth, labour market integration and government policies. The book continues by dealing with migration, its determinants and its possible effect on the host country's output, employment and standard of living. Finally, the authors discuss economic growth and its relationship with trade, capital accumulation and internal and external debts.Economists and researchers studying development economics and migration studies will find this original book, with its innovative state-of-the-art studies, of great interest.Trade Review'The studies in this volume are state-of-the-art, uniformly well written, and address important themes. . . This volume deserves to be in every research holding dealing seriously with issues of migration, economic growth, and inequality.' -- Derek Hum, Journal of International Migration and Integration'This book is certainly a great reference for anyone interested in development economics not only because of the specific issues that it covers, but also in terms of the general approaches that it presents. Economists and researchers studying development economics and migration studies will find this collection of works of great usefulness and interest.' -- Christopher Bajada, Economic RecordTable of ContentsContents: Preface Part I: Inequality: Implications for Growth, Labour Market Integration and Policy 1.

Book SynopsisEuropean governments are now engaging in one of the largest exercises in social engineering that the continent has seen since the Second World War. Hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers and refugees in Europe are now being denied their basic right to choose where they live and are instead being compulsorily dispersed. Spreading the 'burden' is: · the first book-length study of dispersal policies; · explicitly comparative in nature and written by three national experts; · highly topical and controversial as the review of dispersal policies is under way in many countries; · a valuable case-study of how society deals with 'outsider' groups and space. The book is essential reading for national and local policy makers, those interested in human rights, social policy and refugee studies, as well as human geographers and sociologists.Trade Review"The authors of this insightful book delve into asylum in a way that will appeal to many readers. This is an excellent book." Community Care"This book is definitely a frontrunner as it sets out to dispel widespread myths fuelled by the media's hype about 'the burden' of settling and integrating refugees. The authors offer a sophisticated analysis of 'the problem of dispersal' expressed in a clear and accessible language and with a persuasive argumentation that helps to discern logic from media and politicians' misrepresentations on this highly emotional political issue." Journal of Social Policy "This book does what it says on the cover. It will undoubtedly be of interest to a wide variety of policy people, whether they be politicians, government workers or those in the media ... most timely." Housing Studies"... a timely publication which throws open the debate on this political placebo. Its well-researched and intelligently written critique and comparison of dispersal policies in the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom make this essential reading for policy makers ... an important publication for anyone interested in the treatment of global refugees." Journal of European Affairs "This timely volume opens the way for debate, challenging dispersal policies while taking the policy-makers at their word." Journal of International Migration and Integration"The authors offer a sophisticated analysis of 'the problem of dispersal' expressed in a clear and accessible language and with a persuasive argument that helps to discern logic from media and politicians' misrepresentations on this highly emotional political issue." Journal of Social Policy"This book is well worth reading just for its up to date and comprehensive account of UK policies. To have such thorough discussions from other countries, making for easy comparisons with the UK, is a major bonus." Jamie Harding, School of the Built Environment, Northumbria University"Dispersal policies have been a political placebo, not an effective policy. This excellent book throws open this debate. It provides a systematic analysis of the effectiveness of dispersal policies and demonstrates best and worst practice." Ceri Peach, Department of Geography, University of OxfordTable of ContentsIntroduction; Defining the 'problem'; Dispersal policies in the Netherlands; Dispersal policies in Sweden; Dispersal policies in the UK; What works?

Book SynopsisImmigration, particularly asylum, has become a major political issue in Britain and Europe and its impact on welfare, employment and 'social cohesion' highly contested. While asylum policy has become more punitive, dependence on immigrant labour has been increasingly acknowledged by governments which attempt to 'manage' migration to secure the benefits without the presumed costs. The book provides an essential background to understanding these debates. Based on documentary sources and primary research, it focuses mainly on Britain within an international and European context. The first part examines different theoretical approaches to understanding migratory flows and strategies. It explores forced and voluntary migration, the gender dimension in migration decisions and transnational links maintained by migrants. Part two focuses on continuities and change in migration policy and how boundaries have shifted to exclude and include different groups. It explores links between immigration policy, welfare and social exclusion, and migrants' experiences in negotiating and challenging these policies. The book concludes by questioning whether immigration controls can be justified on either ethical or practical grounds. The book will be a key text for students and researchers of migration and ethnicity, and of social policy and welfare. It will be of interest to professionals working with migrants and refugees and to all those concerned with migrant rights.Trade Review"Understanding Immigration and Refugee Policy ... is a readable textbook on modern-day migration ... strong on current policy development, including the implications for the often overlooked theme of gender ... [the book is] particularly effective at tracing the recent debate on Britishness and citizenship." Bulletin, Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, Autumn 2007"For an explanation of the history and the current position [on immigration and refugee policy], I must recommend Professor Rosemary Sales' book... In a six-month period, 1509 press articles were mainly characterised by an alarmism likely to spread fear and bigotry. Her book gives the facts." Bob Holman, The Herald, Society Section, 26/06/07"This book provides an excellent addition to the literature and a much needed overview to the key concepts and issues in global migration and the development of immigration and asylum policy. It addresses crucial themes enabling the reader to understand not only the complexity of international migration in the 21st century but also the development of policy and its impact on the the lives of migrants. The book is thought provoking and deserves to be read widely."

Book SynopsisThis book is the first specifically to explore methodological issues relating to the involvement of refugees in both service evaluation and development and research more generally. It builds on a two-year seminar series funded by the ESRC and attended by members of a range of statutory and voluntary organisations, as well as academics and refugees themselves. The participants jointly drew up a set of good practice guidelines that are re-produced in the book for the first time. Key features include a focus on the methodology for active involvement of refugees; a discussion of barriers to involvement; suggestions for overcoming barriers; analysis of existing practices and ideas for change and a discussion of the implications for policy, research and practice. Doing research with refugees is essential reading for anyone working with in the field. This includes academics, researchers, health and social care providers and voluntary organisations. Refugees themselves who are interested in their role in service evaluation, development and research will also find the book of interest.Trade Review"... a lively, accessible book with a humane and open approach to the subject. ... this is a useful and thorough guide for anyone planning to undertake research in this area. It is a thought provoking and sometimes moving account of a diverse group of people who have used research in an attempt to give refugees a greater voice in society."

Book SynopsisThe book is distinctive in combining theoretical discussion on the role of networks, resources and social capital with fieldwork evidence and interviews with members of RCOs, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and statutory authorities. It critically examines the impact of dispersal and current legislative change on refugee communities and RCOs; explores the integrative role of RCOs; assesses the race relations framework in Britain and its effects on refugee organisations and provides a thorough and up-to-date literature review. Refugee community organisations and dispersal is essential reading for practitioners and policy makers, academics, researchers and students of social policy, social geography, sociology and politics.

Book SynopsisIn no other society in the world have urbanisation and industrialisation been as comprehensively based on migrant labour as in South Africa. Rather than focusing on the well-documented narrative of displacement and oppression, A Long Way Home captures the humanity, agency and creative modes of self-expression of the millions of workers who helped to build and shape modern South Africa.The book spans a three-hundred-year history beginning with the exportation of slave labour from Mozambique in the eighteenth century and ending with the strikes and tensions on the platinum belt in recent years. It shows not only the age-old mobility of African migrants across the continent but also, with the growing demand for labour in the mining industry, the importation of Chinese slaves. The essays and visual materials traverse homesteads, chiefdoms and mining hostels in their portrayal of migrant workers’ and their families’ attempts to maintain contact across large distances and uphold their rural customs, traditions and rituals in new spaces and locations. Together, they provide multiple perspectives on the lived experience of migrant labourers and celebrate their extraordinary journeys. A Long Way Home was conceived during the planning of an art exhibition entitled ‘Ngezinyawo: Migrant Journeys’ at the Wits Art Museum. The interdisciplinary nature of the contributions and the extraordinary collection of images selected to complement and expand on the text make this a unique collection.Table of ContentsNgezinyawo: Migrant Journeys; Slavery, Indenture and Migrant Labour: Maritime Immigration from Mozambique to the Cape, c.1780-1880; Walking 2 000 Kilometres to Work and Back: The Wandering; A Century of Migrancy from Mpondoland; The Migrant Kings of Zululand Benedict Carton; The Art of Those Left Behind: Women, Beadwork and Bodies; The Illusion of Safety: Migrant Labour and Occupational Disease on South Africa's Gold Mines; 'The Chinese Experiment': Images from the Expansion of South Africa's 'Labour Empire'; 'Stray Boys': The Kruger National Park and Migrant Labour; Surviving Drought: Migrancy and the Homestead Economy; Migrants from Zebediela and Shifting Identities on the Rand, 1930s-1970s Sekibakiba; Verwoerd's Oxen: Performing Labour Migrancy in Southern Africa; 'Give My Regards to Everyone at Home Including Those I No Longer Remember': The Journey of Tito Zungu's Envelopes; Sophie and the City: Womanhood, Labour and Migrancy; Bungityala; Migrants: Vanguards of the Worker's Struggles?; Debt or Savings?

Book SynopsisBetween 1550 and 1750 tens of thousands of immigrants, many of them religious refugees escaping persecution on the Continent, settled in Britain and its colonies, and in Ireland. They brought with them their formidable energies and talents and quickly assimilated themselves into the host society. The essays range from general considerations of trends towards integration in the immigrant communities to detailed case-studies of the movement into British society of individual immigrants; from studies of popular attitudes and government policy towards the newcomers to examinations of relations within the immigrant communities themselves and their structures for self-sufficiency. The immigrants' contributions to art, scholarship, manufacturing, theology and politics are also explored.Table of ContentsContents: Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales; Introduction; The Netherlandish presence in England before the coming of the stranger churches, 1480-1560; Bringing Reformed theology to England's rude and symple people' Jean Veron, minister and author outside the stranger church community; Discipline and integration: Jan Laski's Church Order for the London Strangers' Church; Nicolas des Gallars and the Genevan connection of the stranger churches; Acontius's plea for tolerance; Europe in Britain: Protestant strangers and the English Reformation; Protestant refugees in Elizabethan England and confessional ; conflict in France and the Netherlands, 1562c.1610; Fictitious shoemakers, agitated weavers and the limits of popular xenophobia in Elizabethan London; The Dutch in Colchester in the 16th and 17th centuries: opposition and integration; Mayntayninge the indigente and nedie': the institutionalisation of social responsibility in the case of the resident alien communities in Elizabethan Norwich and Colchester; Melting into the landscape: the story of the 17th-century Walloons in the Fens; Insiders or outsiders?

Book SynopsisIt is now over 100 years since Cunningham wrote Alien Immigrants to England, which focused heavily upon the impact of immigration in later 16th and early 17th century England: it has yet to be supplanted by a comprehensive, up-to-date survey. Although much research has been completed on the subject, particularly during the past three decades, relatively little of this has appeared in mainstream history journals, while more general surveys have tended to concentrate upon the second wave of migration that followed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685.Trade Review"Fascinating and timely, this important book of essays restores the experience of immigration to its proper place as a vital part of England's history." -- Penelope Corfield, University of London."Indeed, the book deserves to be read by anyone with an interest in the history of the early modern period." -- Judith Spicksley, Local Population Studies, No. 76, Sprin 2006."...Goose gives an admirably thorough, authoritative, and balanced account of the important contribution made by these aliens to English economic developments in this period." -- Paul Slack, Population Studies, Vol. 60, No. 2, 2006."This wide-ranging volume overflows with ideas for further research. Its relevance is forcefully underlined by a recent headline in The Times (December 18, 2005), heralding a 'new Baltic state of East Anglia'; many migrants are arriving now from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to work in Eastern England.

Book SynopsisBulgarian writer and international migration expert Yva Alexandrova tells the story of Eastern Europeans in the UK, and argues that progressive politics needs to be grounded in migrants’ actual experiences and not political expediency. She shows how attitudes to immigration have changed in the last twenty years in the wake of Brexit and a new wave of nativism that has swept across Britain, and makes a passionate and vivid argument for migrants as full participants in social and political life. At a time when racism, xenophobia and nationalism dominate politics in the UK and around the world, Here to Stay avoids the usual racist vox-pops and sensationalist political debate and instead tells the stories of the people whose voices rarely feature in debates about immigration: the migrants themselves.Trade Review"Yva Alexandrova excoriates the British media, political elite and even the labour movement over their condescension and hostility to East European migration. She tells the story of what it's like to be the target of a wave of nativism that swept through British politics in the last decade, from the lived experience of those around her." “Provocative and well-informed, Alexandrova gives voice to people who are a vital part of Britain’s political and social life, yet too often talked about rather than listened to. Pay attention.”

Book Synopsis'The Tiber has been joined by the Orontes'. So wrote the Roman satirist Juvenal, in a complaint about immigration to the Empire's capital. Rome was constantly sustained by immigrants. Some were voluntary: craftworkers, soldiers, teachers and intellectuals. Countless others came as slaves. What happened to them after their arrival? Did they try to keep contact with their homelands? Did they form distinctive communities within Rome? This book is a systematic study of Rome's foreign-born element. The author uses inscriptions and literature to explore the experiences of newcomers to the capital. The results are compared with the colourful Roman stereotypes of different immigrant groups.Table of ContentsIntroduction Section I: Evidence and Ancient Attitudes 1. The Evidence and the Problems 2.

Book SynopsisFrom Columbus's first voyage to "the Indies" in 1492, Basques participated in Spain's American enterprise. Supported by centuries of experience as mariners, shipbuilders, traders, miners, and ironworkers; encouraged toward emigration by restrictive inheritance laws and a land-poor territory; and conditioned by a culture that prized hard work and social solidarity, the Basques were poised to play a significant role in the exploration and development of the New World. The first Basques arrived with Columbus, and well into the twentieth century they continued to arrive seeking livelihood and refuge.Possible Paradises, José Manuel Azcona Pastor's engaging and meticulously researched study of Basque emigration to the Americas, is a path breaking work of monumental importance. Ranging over the entire former Spanish American empire from Tierra del Fuego to the U.S. Southwest and covering over five centuries of history, Azcona examines the roles and fates of the Basques who came to the New World. He also studies the impact of the New World on the Basque Country, from the importance in the modern Basque diet of such American foodstuffs as corn and beans to the encouragement given to traditional Basque industries by the colonizers' demand for ships and iron tools. He considers the role of Basques in the Spanish imperial expeditions of exploration and conquest; their participation in transatlantic commerce and communication.The Basque diaspora, although worldwide in dimension, has had its greatest presence and importance in the Americas. Azcona's pioneering study views the Basque presence in the New World through the broadest possible lens, linking Basque communities and activities from Argentina to the North American West.Foreword by William A. Douglass. Translation by Roland Vazquez.Trade ReviewAzcona Pastor gives an excellent and anecdotally detailed description of the activities of Basque individuals in the colonization period of Latin America....This publication will be especially useful to students of history and a must-read for beginning specialists in Basque involvement in Latin America."" - Journal of Contemporary European Studies""Azcona Pastor's use of archival and contemporary published materials lends fascinating detail to the narrative."" - The International History Review

Book SynopsisBasque Immigrants and Nevada's Sheep Industry is a rich and complex exploration of the history of Basque immigration to the rangelands of Nevada and the interior West. It looks critically at the Basque sheepherders in the American West and more broadly at the modern history of American foreign relations with Spain after the Second World War.Between the 1880s and the 1950s, the western open-range sheep industry was the original economic attraction for Basque immigrants. This engaging study tracks the development of the Basque presence in the American West, providing deep detail about the sheepherders' history, native and local culture, the challenges they faced, and the changing conditions under which the Basques lived and worked. Saitua also shows how Basque immigrant sheepherders went from being a marginalized labor group to a desirable, high-priced workforce in response to the constant demand for their labor power.As the twentieth century progressed, the geopolitical tide in America began to change. In 1924, the Restrictive Immigration Act resulted in a truncated labor supply from the Basque Country in Spain. During the Great Depression and the Second World War, the labor shortage became acute. In response, Senator Patrick McCarran from Nevada lobbied on behalf of his wool-growing constituency to open immigration doors for Basques, the most desirable laborers for tending sheep in remote places. Subsequently, Cold War international tensions offered opportunities for a reconciliation between the United States and Francisco Franco, despite Spain's previous sympathy with the Axis powers.This fresh portrayal shows how Basque immigrants became the backbone of the sheep industry in Nevada. It also contributes to a wider understanding of the significance of Basque immigration by exploring the role of Basque agricultural labor in the United States, the economic interests of Western ranchers, and McCarran's diplomacy as catalysts that eventually helped bring Spain into the orbit of western democracies.Trade Review"This is a story that is simultaneously transnational and intensely local. Historians of the American West are deeply indebted to this fine young historian."— Steven M. Avella, professor of history, Marquette University, Milwaukee"Iker Saiatua provides a fresh perspective on the story of Basque migration to the American West.

Book SynopsisThere are currently a record-setting number of forcibly displaced persons in the world. This number continues to rise as solutions to alleviate humanitarian catastrophes of large-scale violence and displacement continue to fail. The likelihood of the displaced returning to their homes is becoming increasingly unlikely. In many cases, their homes have been destroyed as the result of violence. Why are the homes of certain populations targeted for destruction? What are the impacts of loss of home upon children, adults, families, communities, and societies? If having a home is a fundamental human right, then why is the destruction of home not viewed as a rights violation and punished accordingly? From Bureaucracy to Bullets answers these questions and more by focusing on the violent practice of extreme domicide, or the intentional destruction of the home, as a central and overlooked human rights issue.Trade Review“This innovative and noteworthy book adds an important perspective to human rights scholarship with valuable insight into the use of domicide as a political and military strategy.” -- Scott Harding * associate professor, University of Connecticut *"Tracking the widespread and often unseen practices of domicide – the deliberate destruction of home – this book forces us to rethink the meaning of home as a human right.

Book SynopsisThe rise of digital media and globalization’s intensification since the 1990s have significantly refigured global cinema’s form and content. The coincidence of digitalization and globalization has produced what this book helps to define and describe as a flourishing border cinema whose aesthetics reflect, construct, intervene in, denature, and reconfigure geopolitical borders. This collection demonstrates how border cinema resists contemporary border fortification processes, showing how cinematic media have functioned technologically and aesthetically to engender contemporary shifts in national and individual identities while proposing alternative conceptions of these identities to those promulgated by the often restrictive current political rhetoric and ideologies that represent a backlash to globalization. Trade Review"While border aesthetics have attracted increasing attention over the last decade, this wide-ranging and innovative collection offers a dynamic argument about why border cinema has become a central direction in contemporary film. Intricately weaving the digital technologies that support it and the shifting global politics that are its target, the book intervenes precisely and provocatively in how we understand world cinema today.” -- Timothy Corrigan * author of A Short Guide to Writing about Film *"Examining media from around the globe, this collection of essays compellingly interrogates the relationship between the digital and border cinema aesthetics. As the editors show, the border has become multiple, even mobile borders; mediated representations of these third spaces call viewers to political action and ethical engagement while affording opportunities for re-imagining subjectivities in a post 9-11 world. Essential reading for those invested in the way cinema imagines liminal social spaces." -- Laura Isabel Serna * author of Making Cinelandia: American Films and Mexican Film Culture *"Recommended." * Choice *"While border aesthetics have attracted increasing attention over the last decade, this wide-ranging and innovative collection offers a dynamic argument about why border cinema has become a central direction in contemporary film.

Book SynopsisUnder Quarantine is the riveting story of Shaar Ha’aliya, a central immigrant processing camp opened shortly after Israel became an independent state. This historic gateway for Jewish migration was surrounded by a controversial barbed wire fence. The camp administrators defended this imposing barrier as a necessary quarantine measure - even as detained immigrants regularly defied it by crawling out of the camp and returning at will. Focusing on the conflicts and complications surrounding the medical quarantine, this book brings the history of this place and the remarkable experiences of the immigrants who went through it to life. Evocative and bold, Under Quarantine shows that we cannot fully understand Israel until we understand Shaar Ha’aliya. The gate of arrival for nearly half a million immigrants - a space of homecoming, conflict, exclusion and welcoming - here was the country’s crucible.Trade Review"With uncompromising care and sensitivity, Rhona Seidelman unpacks the 'great story' of 'Aliah to the newly created Israel and puts the medical dimension of migration at the center.

Book Synopsis2021 ISSR Best Book Award (International Society for the Sociology of Religion) Transnational migration has contributed to the rise of religious diversity and has led to profound changes in the religious make-up of society across the Western world. As a result, societies and nation-states have faced the challenge of crafting ways to bring new religious communities into existing institutions and the legal frameworks. Regulating Difference explores how the state regulates religious diversity and examines the processes whereby religious diversity and expression becomes part of administrative landscapes of nation-states and people’s everyday lives. Arguing that concepts of nationhood are key to understanding the governance of religious diversity, Regulating Difference employs a transatlantic comparison of the Spanish region of Catalonia and the Canadian province of Quebec to show how processes of nation-building, religious heritage-making and the mobilization of divergent interpretations of secularism are co-implicated in shaping religious diversity. It argues that religious diversity has become central for governing national and urban spaces. Trade Review“An excellent contribution to the scholarly literature on Western secularities and on the regulation of religion." -- James Spickard * author of Alternative Sociologies of Religion: Through Non-Western Eyes *“Fascinating and helpful…an absorbing and detailed study.” -- Roger Trigg * author of Religious Diversity: Philosophical and Political Dimensions *"Religious diversification and the rise of nationalism, coupled with increasing immigration and ever-contested state secularism, are dominant and far-reaching trends facing many societies today. Through an evocative comparison of Quebec and Catalonia, Marian Burchardt lucidly explores how these topics are framed in law, shaped by institutional practices and understood by political actors and ordinary members of the public. Regulating Difference is essential reading for anyone concerned with such profound issues marking our troubling times." -- Steven Vertovec * Editor of the Routledge international Handbook of Diversity Studies *"Marian Burchardt’s Regulating Difference is historically informed, theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich. By juxtaposing Québec and Catalunya, the book makes important contributions to the literature on secularism and small nations. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of nationalism, the sociology of religion and secularism, and politics and religion more broadly." -- Geneviève Zubrzycki * author of Beheading the Saint: Nationalism, Religion and Secularism in Quebec *Immigration and secularization have radically increased cultural diversity around the world. What happens when ‘diversity’ evolves from a means of description into a mode of governance? In this cleverly designed comparative study of two ’stateless nations’, Marian Burchardt shows how the logic of ‘religious diversity’ is refracted through the logics of nationalism and bureaucracy at the macro and micro scales. Required reading for anyone interested in contemporary debates about religion, politics and secularity. -- Philip S. Gorski * author of The Disciplinary Revolution: Calvinism and the Rise of the State in Early Modern Europe *Two stateless nations, Quebec and Catalonia, with historically majoritarian Catholic confessions, have become deeply secular societies. But Catalan and Quebecois nationalists with similar conceptions of laïcité or secularism have offered divergent responses to the challenges that the religious diversity brought by large numbers of new immigrants present to their national projects. Burchardt's book examines this comparative puzzle deftly, while enriching our understanding of the ways in which religious and secular cleavages and religious and national identities may become differently entangled. An important contribution to the emerging field of multiple secularities. -- José Casanova * author of Public Religions in the Modern World *"Burchardt’s study is illuminating in that it offers new frameworks for thinking about the relationship between national identity and religious identity. By examining the procedural and governmental frameworks that both enable and inhibit the inclusion of religious migrants, his study offers a needed corrective to studies that look to philosophical concepts such as “rights” to understand what it means for religious migrants to belong to a nation." * Reading Religion *"Regulating Difference is a methodologically rich and theoretically versatile addition to the fast-growing field of comparative historical secularity." * Journal of the American Academy of Religion *Table of ContentsContents Introduction Religious Diversity, Secularism and Nationhood 1 Theorizing Religious Diversity and Secularism 2 Contesting Religious Diversity and Secularism 3 Spatializing Religious Diversity: Urban Administration, Infrastructure and Emplacement 4 The Limits of Religious Diversity: Regulating Full-Face Coverings 5 Making Claims to Religion as Culture: The Rise of Heritage Religion Conclusions Notes List of Laws and Cases Bibliography Index
