Cambridge University Press The Best Are Leaving
Book SynopsisClair Wills's The Best Are Leaving is an important and wide-ranging study of representations of Irish emigrant culture and of Irish immigrants in Britain in post-war Europe. It analyses stereotypes of the Irish across a range of discourses, including official documents; sociological texts; documentary fiction and memoir; and Irish realist fiction, drama, and film.Trade Review'Sharp and illuminating … [Wills'] study is deeply impressive in the scope of its learning and the range of its sympathies.' Sunday Business Post'A fine study of an absorbing subject.' Irish Mail on Sunday'… Wills has written a thoughtful, open-minded and lucid book that shows that the 'great silence' which enveloped commentary on the Irish language in independent Ireland often characterized the emigrant experience too. One of the most moving and beautiful aspects of this compelling narrative is Wills's account of her own mother and of her attempts to negotiate for her family between two exacting cultures. She succeeded magnificently - and one outcome is this valuable and necessary book.' Breac'[This] book … brings to the forefront an often overlooked era in twentieth-century Irish culture … [the author shows us] that this period of departure and radical social change deserves the same rigorous engagement that so frequently attends to global political concerns and earlier twentieth-century periods in Ireland … Wills' focus brings insight and originality born from top-notch research throughout the book.' Maria McGarrity, Irish Literary SupplementTable of Contents1. The best are leaving: fitness, marriage, and the crisis of the national family; 2. Pink witch: women, modernity, and urbanisation; 3. British paddies: realism and the Irish immigrant; 4. The vanishing Irish: assimilation, ethnicisation, and literary caricature; 5. Clay is the flesh: looking at manual labour.

Cambridge University Press The Making of Japanese Settler Colonialism
Book SynopsisThis innovative study demonstrates how Japanese empire-builders invented and appropriated the discourse of overpopulation to justify Japanese settler colonialism across the Pacific. Lu defines this overpopulation discourse as ''Malthusian expansionism''. This was a set of ideas that demanded additional land abroad to accommodate the supposed surplus people in domestic society on the one hand and emphasized the necessity of national population growth on the other. Lu delineates ideological ties, human connections and institutional continuities between Japanese colonial migration in Asia and Japanese migration to Hawaii and North and South America from 1868 to 1961. He further places Malthusian expansionism at the center of the logic of modern settler colonialism, challenging the conceptual division between migration and settler colonialism in global history. This title is also available as Open Access.Trade Review'Brilliantly researched and conceptually sophisticated, this book offers a new interpretation of Malthusianism and will have a huge impact on the way we think about Japanese migration while complicating the divide between studies of the Japanese empire and Japanese immigration to the US, Hawaii, Latin America and other locations in Asia-Pacific.' Takashi Fujitani, University of Toronto'The Making of Japanese Settler Colonialism offers a bold new synthesis of the histories of Japanese imperialism and diaspora. It shows vividly how Japanese ideologues from the late nineteenth century straight through until after World War II were driven by anxieties about overpopulation and by the ideology of race competition.' Jordan Sand, Georgetown University, Washington DC'Sidney Lu's wonderful new book delves into the history of Japanese migration and its relation to the quest for power on the world stage. It's the story of a nation's fixation with overpopulation: how Malthusianism gained traction in the 1860s and why it flamed out in the 1950s. This is an important addition to the literature on Japanese empire and settler colonialism.' Louise Young, University of Wisconsin, Madison'Lu (Michigan State Univ.) presents a well-written, innovative study of how Japanese empire builders invented and promoted the discourse of overpopulation to justify Japanese settler colonialism across the Pacific between the early Meiji and post-WW II periods … Including stories from Japanese who participated in this movement to the far corners of the Pacific Rim, this book is highly recommended for anyone interested in modern Japanese history and transnational colonialism.' M. D. Ericson, Choice'I recommend without reserve to scholars and students of Japanese imperial expansionism and trans-Pacific migration, as well as any reader interested in the history and policies of modern Japan.' Hugues Canuel, Global Maritime History'As Lu's erudite book reveals, the shift in colonial imaginations expressed in the characters offers a distinctively Japanese inflection to theoretical understandings of colonial migration-one that is best understood in its transpacific manifestations.' Martin Dusinberre, Project MuseTable of ContentsIntroduction: Malthusian expansion and settler colonialism; Part I. Emergence, 1868–1894: 1.

Cambridge University Press The Comparative Politics of Immigration
Book SynopsisMany governments face similar pressures surrounding the hotly debated topic of immigration. Yet, the disparate ways in which policy makers respond is striking. The Comparative Politics of Immigration explains why democratic governments adopt the immigration policies they do. Through an in-depth study of immigration politics in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the United States, Antje Ellermann examines the development of immigration policy from the postwar era to the present. The book presents a new theory of immigration policymaking grounded in the political insulation of policy makers. Three types of insulation shape the translation of immigration preference into policy: popular insulation from demands of the unorganized public, interest group insulation from the claims of organized lobbies, and diplomatic insulation from the lobbying of immigrant-sending states. Addressing the nuances in immigration reforms, Ellermann analyzes both institutional factors and policy actors'' strategiTrade Review'With a sophisticated research design and deep knowledge of immigration politics across a range of liberal democracies, Antje Ellermann offers us a powerful explanation of why countries open and close their borders over time. The Comparative Politics of Immigration will be an instant classic in the field and a touchstone for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of immigration policy.' James F. Hollifield, Tower Center, SMU'I know of no book that more compellingly demonstrates the importance of political structures for explaining why some countries end up with liberal and others with restrictive immigration policies. Known for her brilliant previous book on deportations, Antje Ellermann is one of the leading political scientists studying immigration today.' Christian Joppke, University of Bern'The Comparative Politics of Immigration is the most intellectually satisfying analysis of immigration politics and policymaking available. Antje Ellermann masterfully combines high level theorizing, meticulous empirical research, and careful comparison to help us understand why contemporary liberal-democratic states have pursued such differing immigration policies despite facing similar challenges. A seminal work by an outstanding scholar.' Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos, University of Toronto'One of the book's greatest strengths is the clarity with which Ellermann presents a wide range of policy options in her case studies. She provides a nuanced analysis of immigration politics and policymaking that moves beyond the traditional approaches of immigration policies. Her focus on the policy dynamics is sustained by compelling arguments for each country examined.' Ariane Chebel D'Appollonia, Political Science QuarterlyTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Theorizing immigration policy: veto points and the insulation logics of policy arenas; 3. The making of Swiss immigration policy: explaining permanent and temporary economic admissions; 4.

Cambridge University Press Chinese Diasporas
Chinese Diasporas provides a concise and compelling new history of internal and external Chinese migration from the sixteenth century to the present day. Steven B. Miles places Chinese migrants and their families at the center of his narrative through a series of engaging case studies taking readers from the heart of Ming China to the global property markets of the twenty-first century. The focus on individual migrants and their descendants reveals the ways in which the ''Chinese diaspora'' has consisted of distinct paths of migration from specific emigrant communities to targeted destinations both within China and abroad. This is essential reading for those interested in the history of the Chinese diaspora and the overseas Chinese, and for those interested in the role of migration in the making of the modern world.

The University of Chicago Press Affective Circuits African Migrations to Europe
Book SynopsisThe influx of African migrants into Europe in recent years has raised important issues about changing labor economies, new technologies of border control, and the effects of armed conflict. But attention to such broad questions often obscures a fundamental fact of migration: its effects on ordinary life. Affective Circuits brings together essays by an international group of well-known anthropologists to place the migrant family front and center. Moving between Africa and Europe, the book explores the many ways migrants sustain and rework family ties and intimate relationships at home and abroad. It demonstrates how their quotidian efforts on such a mass scale contribute to a broader process of social regeneration. The contributors point to the intersecting streams of goods, people, ideas, and money as they circulate between African migrants and their kin who remain back home. They also show the complex ways that emotions become entangled in these exchanges. Examining how these circui

The University of Chicago Press Pathways of Desire
Book SynopsisWith Pathways of Desire, Hector Carrillo brings us into the lives of Mexican gay men who have left their home country to pursue greater sexual autonomy and sexual freedom in the United States. The groundbreaking ethnography brings our attention to the full arc of these men's migration experiences, from their upbringing in Mexican cities and towns, to their cross-border journeys, to their incorporation into urban gay communities in American cities, and their sexual and romantic relationships with American men. These men's diverse and fascinating stories demonstrate the intertwining of sexual, economic, and familial motivations for migration. Further, Carrillo shows that sexual globalization must be regarded as a bidirectional, albeit uneven, process of exchange between countries in the global north and the global south. With this approach, Carrillo challenges the view that gay men from countries like Mexico would logically want to migrate to a more sexually enlightened country like the United States a partial and limited understanding, given the dynamic character of sexuality in countries such as Mexico, which are becoming more accepting of sexual diversity. Pathways of Desire also provides a helpful analytical framework for the simultaneous consideration of structural and cultural factors in social scientific studies of sexuality. Carrillo explains the patterns of cross-cultural interaction that sexual migration generates and at the most practical level shows how the intricacies of cross-cultural sexual and romantic relations may affect the sexual health and HIV risk of transnational immigrant populations.

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

Book Synopsis The presence of Blacks in a number of European societies has drawn increasing interest from scholars, policymakers, and the general public.
