Book SynopsisThis book deals with the ethnic formation among the 1990s immigrants from the former Soviet Union in Israel, in light of both domestic changes, and developments in the Israel- Arab conflict. Based on a broad variety of quantitative and qualitative methods, the book presents a detailed analysis of identity patterns among these immigrants, their orientation in matters of religion, society, culture and politics, and their relationships with all the constituent groups in Israeli society – including the Palestinian minority. The book provides a new critical perspective on questions of immigration, ethnicity and society in Israel. The analysis is placed in a global theoretical context that challenges the dominant approach in the sociology of immigration in Israel, which is based on the Zionist paradigm.Table of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisA central element of contemporary border regimes is their application to migrants before they reach a state's territory. The main forms of this extraterritorial immigration control are visa requirements, pre-embarkation immigration controls and the interception of irregular migrants at sea. This work analyses the complex relationship of the law to these practices, as legal guarantees are potentially avoided, while the legality of control is often uncertain. It examines the international law framework, including the law of the sea and the extraterritorial application of principles of non-refoulement contained in the Refugee Convention and in international human rights law. The work also includes detailed case-studies of the legal challenges posed by extraterritorial immigration controls in Europe, Australia and the United States.Table of ContentsPreface; List of contibutors; Part I: Overviews 1.

Book SynopsisMigration is the talk of the town. On the whole, however, the current situation is seen as resulting from unique political upheavals. Such a-historical interpretations ignore the fact that migration is a fundamental phenomenon in human societies from the beginning and plays a crucial role in the cultural, economic, political and social developments and innovations. So far, however, most studies are limited to the last four centuries, largely ignoring the spectacular advances made in other disciplines which study the ‘deep past’, like anthropology, archaeology, population genetics and linguistics, and that reach back as far as 80.000 years ago. This is the first book that offers an overview of the state of the art in these disciplines and shows how historians and social scientists working in the recent past can profit from their insights.Trade ReviewReading this book is rewarding in many ways. It raises the awareness that migration is an intrinsic feature of human existence, indicative of as well as instrumental to development. The confrontation with 200,000 years’ development of the ‘homo sapiens’ puts the present perception of ‘globalisation’ into a perspective, which opens up a considerably wider scope for the future. The confrontation of the diverse approaches not only widens our horizon but serves, at the same time, as an antidote against prejudices based on incidental single aspects."

Book SynopsisThe Chinese migration to the Latin America/Caribbean region is an understudied dimension of the Asian American experience. There are three distinct periods in the history of this migration: the early colonial period (pre-19th century), when the profitable three-century trade connection between Manila and Acapulco led to the first Asian migrations to Mexico and Peru; the classic migration period (19th to early twentieth centuries), marked by the coolie trade known to Chinese diaspora studies; and the renewed immigration of the late 20th century to the present. Written by specialists on the Chinese in Latin America and the Caribbean, this book tells the story of Asian migration to the Americas and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the Chinese in this important part of the world.Trade Review"This compilation brings together a rich and diverse array of studies centered on Chinese migration in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) from the sixteenth century to the present...The Chinese in Latin America and the Caribbean demonstrates the diversity and richness of the experiences of the Chinese in this region."

Book SynopsisSince the start of the 1990s, Central Asia has been the main purveyor of migrants in the post-Soviet space. These massive migrations due to social upheavals over the last twenty years impact issues of governance; patterns of social adaptation; individual and collective identities; and gender relations in Central Asia. This volume raises the importance of internal migrations, those at a regional, intra-Central Asian, level, labor migrations to Russia, and carries us as far away to the Uzbek migrants based in Istanbul, New York, or Seoul, as well as to the young women of Tashkent who head to Germany or France, and to the Germans, Greeks, and Jews of Central Asia who have returned to their “ethnic homelands”. Contributors include Aida Aaly Alimbaeva, Stéphanie Belouin, Adeline Braux, Asel Dolotkeldieva, Olivier Ferrando, Sophie Hohmann, Nafisa Khusenova, Erica Marat, Sophie Massot, Saodat Olimova, Sébastien Peyrouse, Luisa Piart, Madeleine Reeves, Elena Sadovskaya.Trade Review"This volume provides a thought provoking and richly detailed assessment of key migration issues in Central Asia. Included contributions address the valuable resilience labor migration provides to family budgets and regime stability across Central Asia, while also highlighting the risks of migration reliance in term of dependence on foreign labor markets and global economic shifts. Both the inclusion of leading scholars from Central Asia and the quality of the field-based insights across the chapters make this a uniquely valuable volume, whose contributions add to our understanding of macro issues related to regional development and micro issues linked to gender and social expectations. Covering key topics in Economics, Anthropology, Political Science and Sociology the collection will be of importance to a wide community of scholars interested in issues of migration and development within Central Asia and across the globe." – Cynthia Buckley, Professor of Sociology,The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Book SynopsisSettler colonialism was a major aspect of the imperial age that began in the sixteenth century and has encompassed the whole world unto the present. Modern settler societies have together constituted one of the major routes to economic development from their foundation in resource abundance and labour scarcity. This book is a major and wide-ranging comparative historical enquiry into the experiences of the settler world. The roles of indigenous dispossession, large-scale immigrant labour, land abundance, trade, capital, and the settler institutions, are central to this economic formation and its history. The chapters examine those economies that emerged as genuine colonial hybrids out of their differing neo-European backgrounds, with distinctive post-independence structures and an institutional persistence into the present as independent states. Contributors include Stanley Engerman, Susan Carter, Henry Willebald, Luis Bertola, Claude Lützelschwab, Frank Tough, Kathleen Dimmer, Tony Ward, Drew Keeling, Carl Mosk, David Meredith, Martin Shanahan, John K Wilson, Bernard Attard, Grietjie Verhoef, Tim Rooth, Francine McKenzie, Jorge Alvarez, Jim McAloon, as well as the editors.Trade Review"The [...] volume is a warmly welcomed addition to [the] expanding literature on the unity of the settler economy experience. [...] Settler Economies in World History provides an entertaining and valuable snapshot of the state of research in different branches of the economic history of settler societies. [...] [I]t represents a worthwhile addition to our growing knowledge of settler societies and their economies." – Gary B.

Book SynopsisIn Migration and Membership Regimes editors Ulbe Bosma, Gijs Kessler and Leo Lucassen bring together ten essays in an analytical framework which looks beyond the Transatlantic migration of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in a deliberate attempt to incorporate the experience of earlier periods and other continents into historical migration studies. The focus of analysis is on the mechanisms of interaction between polities, from city-states and emerging statehoods to empires, and migrants joining or taking over these polities, by force, choice or co-optation. It reconceptualises the migrant-state relationship as an engagement over the terms of membership and explores the variety of different outcomes this has had across time and space. Contributors include: Nicholas Breyfogle, Derek Heng, Ralph W. Mathisen, Christel Müller, Mu-chou Poo, Susan Elizabeth Ramírez, Ibrahima Thiaw, Maartje van Gelder, Mark D.

Book SynopsisProletarian and Gendered Mass Migrations connects the 19th- and 20th-century labor migrations and migration systems in global transcultural perspective. It emphasizes macro-regional internal continuities or discontinuities and interactions between and within macro-regions. The essays look at migrant workers experiences in constraining frames and the options they seize or constraints they circumvent. It traces the development from 19th-century proletarian migrations to industries and plantations across the globe to 20th- and 21st-century domestics and caregiver migrations. It integrates male and female migration and shows how women have always been present in mass migrations. Studies on historical development over time are supplemented by case studies on present migrations in Asia and from Asia. A systems approach is combined with human agency perspectives.

Book SynopsisIn this work Moritz Jesse analyses the legal framework within which inclusion of immigrants into the receiving societies can take place. The inclusion of immigrants cannot be enforced by law. However, legislation must provide the room within which integration can take place legally. By studying residence titles, procedures and other sources in a comparative and critical way, Jesse wants to discover whether the legal potential for integration in the EU and the three Member States is sufficient for the inclusion of immigrants.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Tables and Figure 1 Immigrant Integration as a Historic Challenge 1.1 Immigrant Integration as a Historic Challenge 1.2 Objective, Hypothesis, Methodology & Structure of This Book 2 Immigrant Integration and Civic Citizenship 2.1 A Legal Definition of Immigrant Integration 2.2 A Legal Definition of Civic Citizenship 2.3 Dimensions of Citizenship and Immigrant Integration 3 Immigration Facts and Immigration Governance in the Case Studies 3.1 Immigration and Integration in Numbers 3.2 Migration History, Current Situation and Discourse in the Case Studies 3.3 Locating Rights and Competences for Migration 3.4 Available Residence Permits in EU and National Legislation 4 Common Rules and Non-discrimination 4.1 Acquisition of Residence Titles 4.2 Losing Residence Titles 4.3 Enjoying Residence (Titles): Equal Treatment and Non-discrimination 5 Employment and Occupation 5.1 Categories, Markers, and Applicable Legislation 5.2 Citizens of the Union 5.3 Turkish Nationals 5.4 Non-economic Immigrants from Third Countries 5.5 Economic Immigrants from Third Countries 5.6 Conclusions: Employment and Occupation 6 Researchers and Students 6.1 Researchers 6.2 Students 6.3 Conclusions: Researchers and Students 7 Family Life 7.1 Applicable Legislation 7.2 The Right to Family Life under Article 8 ECHR and Article 7 Charter 7.3 EU Law 7.4 National Legislation 7.5 Conclusions: Similar but Distinguishable Rights to Family Life 8 Permanent Residence Permits 8.1 EU Law 8.2 National Legislation 8.3 Conclusions: Permanent Residence Statuses 9 The (Legal) Value of Integration Measures 9.1 Mandatory Civic Integration Measures and Integration Conditions 9.2 Other EU Immigrant Integration Measures and Initiatives 9.3 Conclusions: Nature and Purpose of Integration Trajectories 10 Conclusions: Immigrant Integration and Civic Citizenship 10.1 The Legal Potential for Integration 10.2 Civic Citizenship for Third-Country Nationals in the European Union 10.3 (Guessing) Future Developments 10.4 Concluding Remarks Bibliography; Index.

Book SynopsisGlobalizing Migration History is a major step forward in comparative global migration history. Looking at the period 1500-2000 it presents a new universal method to quantify and qualify cross-cultural migrations, which makes it possible to detect regional trends and explain differences in migration patterns across the globe in the last half millennium. The contributions in this volume, written by specialists on Russia, China, Japan, India, Indonesia and South East Asia, show that such a method offers a fruitful starting point for rigorous comparisons. Furthermore the volume is an explicit invitation to other (economic, cultural, social and political) historians to include migration more explicitly and systematically in their analyses, and thus reach a deeper understanding of the impact of cross-cultural migrations on social change. Contributors are: Sunil Amrith, Ulbe Bosma, Gijs Kessler, Jelle van Lottum, Jan Lucassen, Leo Lucassen, Mireille Mazard, Adam McKeown, Atsushi Ota, Vijaya Ramaswamy,Osamu Saito, Jianfa Shen, Ryuto Shimada, Willard Sunderland, and Yuki Umeno.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements, Jan Lucassen & Leo Lucassen About the Authors List of Tables, Figures and Maps List of Abbreviations SECTION 1: EUROPE AND SIBERIA Measuring and Quantifying Cross-Cultural Migrations: An Introduction, Jan Lucassen & Leo Lucassen Catherine’s Dilemma: Resettlement and Power in Russia 1500s-1914, Willard Sunderland Measuring Mmigration in Russia: A Perspective of Empire, 1500-1900, Gijs Kessler SECTION 2: SOUTH ASIA Mapping Migrations of South Indian Weavers before, during and after the Vijayanagar Period: Tthirteenth to Eighteenth Centuries, Vijaya Ramaswamy South Indian Migration, c. 1800-1950, Sunil S.

Book SynopsisThis book offers an ethnographic account of contemporary Christian Palestinian lives in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Through individual life stories, Bård Kårtveit shows how Christians in the District of Bethlehem strive to live meaningful lives. Lives which are shaped by Christian-Muslim relations within the national community, the impact of Israeli presence in the Palestinian Territories, migration and homeland-diaspora relationships, and which are heavily influenced by changes in their local community and traditional family structures. By situating these stories in the changing political contexts of Palestine, from late Ottoman to Israeli/Palestinian Authority rule, the author engages with these general processes of patriarchal resistance to social change; the role of minorities in nation-building processes; the impact of Western interventions in the region; the rise of political Islam; and the impact of emigration in the Arab World.Trade Review“Kårtveit succeeds admirably in integrating the historical, political, and religious processes since Ottoman times. Well researched, this is a required read for anthropologists and Middle East scholars.” L.D. Loeb in CHOICE July 2015. “The author is commendably attentive to the nuances of individual stories and deftly links these to the wider context of a society subject to hostile occupation as well as to internal tensions between social change and the assertion of tradition as a defense against that change and the occupation.” Glenn Bowman in Journal of Palestine Studies 175, volume XLIV, Number 3 (Spring 2015), 63-64. “Kårtveits bok er betimelig i en tid da fremveksten av islamistiske bevegelser gjør at kristne og andre religiøse minoriteter i Midtøsten opplever økt press og usikkerhet. Boken er essensiell lesning for alle som er interessert i den arabisk-israelske konflikten generelt og minoriteter og migrasjon i Midtøsten spesielt.” Cathrine Thorleifsson in Norsk antropologisk tidsskrift / Norwegian Journal of Anthropology 03-04/2015, p. 310-311.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Preface Introduction: Palestinian Christians in the West Bank Ch. 1: Bethlehem between tradition and modernity Ch. 2: Christian-Muslim relations: land, law and family protection Ch. 3: National identity, attachments and solidarity Ch. 4: The Israeli occupation: a politics of paralysis Ch. 5: Bethlehem emigration and diaspora relations Conclusion and epilogue Appendices References Index

Book SynopsisThe Walls between Conflict and Peace discusses how walls are not merely static entities, but are in constant flux, subject to the movement of time. Walls often begin life as a line marking a radical division, but then become an area, that is to say a border, within which function civil and political societies, national and supranational societies. Such changes occur because over time cooperation between populations produces an active quest for peace, which is therefore a peace in constant movement. These are the concepts and lines of political development analysed in the book. The first part of the book deals with political walls and how they evolve into borders, or even disappear. The second part discusses possible and actual walls between empires, and also walls which may take shape within present-day empires. The third part analyses various ways of being of walls between and within states: Berlin, the Vatican State and Italy, Cyprus, Israel and Palestine, Belfast, Northern European Countries, Gorizia and Nova Gorica, the USA and Mexico. In addition, discussion centres on a possible new Iron Curtain between the two Mediterranean shores and new and different walls within the EU. The last part of the book looks at how walls and borders change as a result of cooperation between the communities on either side of them. The book takes on particular relevance in the present circumstances of the proliferation of walls between empires and states and within single states, but it also analyses processes of conflict and peace which come about as a result of walls.

In parallel, the book analyzes the processes of conflict and peace that occur as a result of the construction of walls."

Book SynopsisDomestic and caregiving work has been at the core of human existence throughout history. Poorly paid or even unpaid, this work has been assigned to women in most societes and occasionally to men often as enslaved, indentures, "adopted" workers. While some use domestic service as training for their own future independent households, others are confined to it for life and try to avoid damage to their identities (Part One). Employment conditions are even worse in colonizer-colonized dichotomies, in which the subalternized have to run the households of administrators who believe they are running an empire (Part Two). Societies and states set the discriminatory rules, those employed develop strategies of resistance or self-protection (Part Three). A team of international scholars addresses these issues globally with a deep historical background. Contributors are: Ally Shireen, Eileen Boris, Dana Cooper, Jennifer Fish, David R.

Book SynopsisIn Migration as Transnational Leisure: The Japanese Lifestyle Migrants in Australia Jun Nagatomo discusses a new type of migration in which “lifestyle” is at the core of middle class aspirations to migrate. Traditionally, international migration has been commonly seen as resulting from economic, political and religious causes. However, this book studies an intriguing new dynamic between the social transformation and the Japanese engagement with tourism and migration. Since the 1990s, when Japan was struggling with the recession, increasing numbers of young middle class Japanese began to drift from the safe and assured life course model and chose to live abroad. This book explores how lifestyle values affect migration decision of Japanese migrants in Australia and settlement processes in the migration destination.

Book SynopsisMemories of Belonging is a three-generation oral-history study of the offspring of southern Italians who migrated to Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1913. Supplemented with the interviewees’ private documents and working from U.S. and Italian archives, Christa Wirth documents a century of transatlantic migration, assimilation, and later-generation self-identification. Her research reveals how memories of migration, everyday life, and ethnicity are passed down through the generations, altered, and contested while constituting family identities. The fact that not all descendants of Italian migrants moved into the U.S. middle class, combined with their continued use of hyphenated identities, points to a history of lived ethnicity and societal exclusion. Moreover, this book demonstrates the extent of forgetting that is required in order to construct an ethnic identity.Trade Review"it is a nearly irreplaceable book for classes in research methodology, oral history, and immigration history".

Book SynopsisThe volume satisfies the researcher with an interest in exile as an historical and literary phenomenon. The first eight essays focus on the British and Irish dimension. The following four widen the discussion to encompass continental Europe. And finally, the historical dimension is deepened with contributions the marginalisation of the mass emigration of the Jews within German memory, and the ‘exile’ of princesses.Table of ContentsTable of Contents Illustrations/Permissions Acknowledgements Ian Wallace: Foreword Richard Dove: Obituary ‒ J.

Book SynopsisHuman Rights, Hegemony and Utopia in Latin America: Poverty, Forced Migration and Resistance in Mexico and Colombia by Camilo Pérez-Bustillo and Karla Hernández Mares explores the evolving relationship between hegemonic and counter-hegemonic visions of human rights, within the context of cases in contemporary Mexico and Colombia, and their broader implications. The first three chapters provide an introduction to the book´s overall theoretical framework, which will then be applied to a series of more specific issues (migrant rights and the rights of indigenous peoples) and cases (primarily focused on contexts in Mexico and Colombia,), which are intended to be illustrative of broader trends in Latin America and globally.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Illustrations 1.

Book SynopsisEthnicity and the Colonial State analyses, through a comparison of three West African communities (Wolof, Temne, and Ewe), the ways in which ethnic labels and arguments are used (or omitted) in dealings with colonial administrations. It follows these strategies and choices over more than a century, between the conquest periods and independence. Where state structures were weak as a factor of group cohesion, ethnic arguments were especially likely to come into play. The analysis discusses internal fissures and conflicting interests within the communities as other incentives for ethnic coalition-building. The observations made in this book are put into the context of a global historical perspective, for which “ethnicity” has so far remained a badly defined concept.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements ... vii Maps ... x 1 Introduction ... 1 2 Group Identifications: African and Global Categories ... 36 3 Wolof and Wolofisation: Statehood, Colonial Rule, and Identification in Senegal ... 84 4 Fragmentation and the Temne: From War Raids into Ethnic Civil Wars ... 158 5 ‘Ethnic Identity’ as an Anti-colonial Weapon?

Book SynopsisUntil recently migration did not occupy a prominent place on the agenda of students of Roman history. Various types of movement in the Roman world were studied, but not under the heading of migration and mobility. Migration and Mobility in the Early Roman Empire starts from the assumption that state-organised, forced and voluntary mobility and migration were intertwined and should be studied together. The papers assembled in the book tap into the remarkably large reservoir of archaeological and textual sources concerning various types of movement during the Roman Principate. The most important themes covered are rural-urban migration, labour mobility, relationships between forced and voluntary mobility, state-organised movements of military units, and familial and female mobility. Contributors are: Colin Adams, Seth G. Bernard, Christer Bruun, Paul Erdkamp, Lien Foubert, Peter Garnsey, Saskia Hin, Claire Holleran, Tatiana Ivleva, Luuk de Ligt, Elio Lo Cascio, Tracy L.

Book SynopsisIn Expectations Unfulfilled: Norwegian Migrants in Latin America, 1820-1940 scholars from Europe and Latin America study the experiences of workers, sailors, whalers, landowners, intellectuals and investors who migrated from Norway to Latin America during the age of mass migration. One recurrent theme is the absence of a large migratory stream from Norway to Latin America. In relative terms, Norwegian emigration was among the highest in Europe. Latin America was one of the principal receivers of migrants in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Why, then, did so few Norwegians end up in Latin America? Combining different levels of analysis, the authors explain how Norwegians experienced Latin America, and how their experiences were communicated to potential migrants at home. Contributors are: María Alvarez Solar, Cecilia Alvstad, María Bjerg, Mieke Neyens, Synnøve Ones Rosales, Ricardo Pérez Montfort, Steinar A. Sæther and Ellen Woortmann.Trade Review"On l’aura compris, cet ouvrage a le mérite de proposer un ensemble d’articles sur l’immigration norvégienne en Amérique latine (Brésil, Argentine, Mexique, Cuba, Guatemala) par l’étude de très petits groupes d’immigrants si on les compare aux autres groupes d’immigrants européens dans ce vaste territoire. il montre combien le champ est large, pourquoi le phénomène demeure peu connu et combien il reste à faire dans le domaine. Comme lecteur, on ne peut qu’encourager la mise en route d’autres études, notamment sur des colonies ou communautés plus construites, études qui pourraient intégrer une dimension comparative avec les communautés norvégiennes aux états-Unis à la même époque." - Marie-Pierre Arrizabalaga, in: Annales de Démographie Historique, 2017 n° 1 pp. 205 -209Table of ContentsAcknowledgements ... vii List of Figures, Tables and Maps ... viii List of Contributors ... x 1 Introduction ... 1 Steinar A.

Book SynopsisThis volume focuses on coalitions and collaborations formed by refugees from Nazi Germany in their host countries. Exile from Nazi Germany was a global phenomenon involving the expulsion and displacement of entire families, organizations, and communities. While forced emigration inevitable meant loss of familiar structures and surroundings, successful integration into often very foreign cultures was possible due to the exiles’ ability to access and/or establish networks. By focusing on such networks rather than on individual experiences, the contributions in this volume provide a complex and nuanced analysis of the multifaceted, interacting factors of the exile experience. This approach connects the NS-exile to other forms of displacement and persecution and locates it within the ruptures of civilization dominating the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Contributors are: Dieter Adolph, Jacob Boas, Margit Franz, Katherine Holland, Birgit Maier-Katkin Leonie Marx, Wolfgang Mieder, Thomas Schneider, Helga Schreckenberger, Swen Steinberg, Karina von Tippelskirch, Jörg Thunecke, Jacqueline Vansant, and Veronika Zwerger

Book SynopsisThis volume offers an expansive approach to interactions between Romans and those beyond the borders of Rome. The range of papers included here is wide, both in terms of subject matter and with respect to approach. That said, a number of important themes bind the essays. Who is an insider, and who the outsider? How were these categories of person, or identity, fashioned and/or recognized in antiquity? How shall we recognize them now? What are the categories, or standards, for measuring or determining inside and outside in the Roman world? And then, of course, what are the repercussions when inside and outside come into contact? What happens when the outside is in, or the inside out?Trade Review"The entire work broadens our understanding of the Roman Empire as a fluid system in constant contact with the worlds and systems beyond its frontiers. This is an important endeavor at a time when trends in scholarship on Rome are focusing increasingly on the reciprocal nature of relationships between Rome and the territories within its sphere of influence. (...) Many of the individual contributions also draw on recent scholarship in other fields, such as anthropology, sociology, and science and technology studies, which greatly enhance the theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of Rome and the worlds beyond its frontiers."
