Springer Nature Switzerland AG The Palgrave Handbook of Youth Mobility and Educational Migration
Book SynopsisThis handbook provides an overview of developments in the youth mobility and migration research field, with specific emphasis on movement for education, work and training purposes, encompassing exchanges sponsored by institutions, governments and international agencies, and free movement. The collection features over 30 theoretically and empirically-based discussions of the meaning and key aspects of various forms of mobility as practiced in contemporary societies, and concludes with an exploration of the costs and benefits of moving abroad to individuals and societies at a time when the viability of free circulation is being called into question. The geographical scope of the book covers Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas, and takes into account socio-economic and regional inequalities, as well as recent developments such as the refugee crisis, Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic. The book integrates the fields of youth mobility and migration studies, creating opportunities for the establishment of a new paradigm for understanding the spatial circulation of youth and young adults in the twenty-first century.Table of Contents1.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Why Demography Matters
Book SynopsisDemography is not destiny. As Giacomo Casanova explained over two centuries ago: 'There is no such thing as destiny. We ourselves shape our own lives. ' Today we are shaping them and our societies more than ever before.Trade Review"Demographers threaten us with a world population explosion, an unsupportable burden of pensioners, migration run wild, even a eugenic threat! But Dorling and Gietel-Basten give us heart. Some threats turned into blessings while other proved as hopelessly inaccurate as economic forecast."Richard Wilkinson, co-author of The Spirit Level "Dorling and Gietel-Basten demonstrate how much we don't know when it comes to demographics. With encyclopedic incision, the authors enjoin readers to consider the meaning, measurement, and manipulation of demographics, eschewing hyperbole for common sense. Rejecting demographic fear mongering and cloudy statistical thinking, Why Demography Matters provides a critical assessment of who counts and why, and the meaning of one of the world's most important drivers of change."Amy Glasmeier, Massachusetts Institute of Technology"As authors Danny Dorling and Stuart Gietel-Basten remind us in their excellent text, [the] misinterpretation of demographic work is not uncommon. They remind us that the work of demographers is inherently political. […] Ultimately, Dorling and Gietel-Basten ask, can demography be optimistic and personal? And their convincing response is yes. This is why I think this book should be a required supplemental text to any demography class as well as an essential read for anyone involved in demographic work."Canadian Studies in PopulationTable of Contents 1.

Springer International Publishing AG Migration and Identity through Creative Writing:
Book SynopsisThis open access book brings together storytelling and self-narrative, creative writing and narrative enquiry to explore a variety of topics in migration from an experiential lens. The volume is hybrid and multi-genre as it contains both scholarly chapters grounded in academic perspectives, as well as personal essays and creative non-fiction. In addition to critical reflections on key migration topics and concepts – like, identity and diversity, integration and agency, transnationalism and return – the scholarly chapters also propose a particular methodology for ‘workshopping’ migration narratives, and writing about (personal) lived experiences through iterations of scientific reflection, narrative enquiry, and creative imagination. The book explores the potential of a new conceptual paradigm and methodological process to learn more, and also `differently,’ about the migration experience. Finally, this volume asks a bigger question too – how do we define the boundaries of research; is it possible to entirely separate the spatial, temporal and methodological parameters in which projects are developed and pursued; and how can the specifics of these multiple contexts contribute to shaping the knowledge being produced?Table of Contents

Grey House Publishing Inc Defining Documents in American History: The Great
Book SynopsisAlso known as the Great Northward Migration and the Black Migration, this movement of more than six million African Americans from American's rural southern regions to its urban northern regions occurred over more than 50 years, from 1916 to 1970. Some historians separate this great move into two periods — the first from 1916 to 1940, during which 1.6 million people moved from the rural south to the industrial north, and the second following the Great Depression, from 1940 to 1970, which saw more than 5 million people, many with urban skills, move north and west.Two main causes for this massive migration were poor economic conditions and racial segregation and discrimination in Southern states when Jim Crow laws were upheld. The Great Migration was historic for its sheer number, called ""the largest and most rapid internal movements in history."" It also brought historic change to the cities the migrants moved to, where African Americans established influential communities of their own at a time when these cities were already exerting cultural, social, political, and economic influence in the country.

University of Arkansas Press Arkansas Travelers: Geographies of Exploration
Book SynopsisAward-winning author and teacher Andrew J. Milson takes readers on anenthralling tour with four travelers as they faced treacherous rivers,drunken scoundrels, and repulsive food on the Arkansas frontier. But Milson also cautions thatthe dramatic imagery, provocative epithets, and frightful anecdotescommon in travel narratives too often result in distorted geographicalunderstandings of a place. Milson explains how the language in each ofthese travelers' published narratives reveals perceptions of places andlandscapes that can be mapped. When mapped, travelers' perceptionsreveal not just what the traveler said, but where he said it. Theresulting maps of these travelers' perceptions of Arkansasillustrate the places experienced and perceived rather than simply thespaces they traversed.Arkansas Travelers: Geographies of Exploration and Perception, 1804-1834, is the first book to capture the fascinating stories of William Dunbar, Thomas Nuttall, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, and George William Featherstonhaugh. A deeper understanding of the Arkansas past and the early nineteenth century American frontier is unveiled through maps of their stories and perceptions.Trade Review[A] truly eye-opening volume, which lays aside the traditional travels of so long ago, and neatly places each excursion within two major themes—that of place and landscape. … Milson has given us a new way to examine these travels and the Arkansas Travelers themselves." —Maylon Rice, Fort Smith Historical Society Journal, September 2019

Agenda Publishing Social Movements in Latin America: Mapping the
Book SynopsisSocial movements play a significant role in the political and social landscape of Latin America. They emanate from different sections of society and are motivated by many different concerns, including workers’ rights, agrarian and land reform, the rights of indigenous peoples, gender inequality and the fight against environmental degradation. Ronaldo Munck explores the mosaic of interlocking and connected issues that make up the complex map of social movements in Latin America and shows why, despite being a fragmented political force, these movements are at the centre of any future progressive politics in the region. As such they require careful understanding and, he suggests, a more nuanced theoretical approach than previous studies have offered. Combining insights from Latin American approaches to social movement theory and detailed empirical case studies, the book provides readers with an understanding of the vital role social activism plays in the region and offers students the methodological tools to develop their own research agendas.Trade ReviewA tour de force of the theories, debates and methods for making sense of Latin American social movements. Munck’s comprehensive overview skilfully speaks to ideas that will be of interest to both regional specialists and to social movements scholars more widely. Readers will no longer be able to approach either social movements or Latin America without a deep appreciation of how they have shaped each other. -- Sam Halvorsen, Queen Mary University of LondonA useful and well-written overview of the diverse social movements in Latin America ... a great resource for students. -- Benjamin Selwyn, University of SussexBuilding on extensive research on Latin America's inequalities, Munck's vibrant account has it all: in-depth case studies convey the dynamics on the ground, set within a clear overview of Latin American and North Atlantic theories and a methodological appendix covering key ethical and practical issues.

Springer International Publishing AG Crises and Migration: Critical Perspectives from
Book SynopsisThis book critically examines the association between the notions of crisis and migration in the context of Latin America, and from three different perspectives: first, it analyzes the discourses based on the concept of crisis employed by the media, academic researchers, civil society organizations and the state to frame human mobility issues; second, it investigates migrants’ agency under conditions of crisis; and third, it discusses whether “migration crisis” is a conjunctural or structural phenomenon in the region. Chapters in this contributed volume investigate the crisis-migration nexus in seven Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua and Uruguay – by discussing different human mobility phenomena, such as the migrant caravans that departed from Central America bound to Mexico and the United States; the Nicaraguan exodus caused by the political crisis in the country; the perception of Venezuelan migrants in Colombia’s media; the presence of Caribbean migrants in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Crisis and Migration: Critical Perspectives from Latin America will be of interest to a wide range of social scientists interested in migration studies, as well as to policy makers and civil society organizations. This book offers a fresh look at the way we conceive, represent, and think about the relationship between crisis and human mobility. As the volume’s contributions show, a critical examination of the notion of crisis is a first step towards a more comprehensive understanding of the plight of present-day migrants worldwide.Table of ContentsAt the Crisis-Migration Crossroads: Scope and Limits Part I Venezuelan Migration and Crime in Colombia: Migrant Stigmatization in the Media and its Connection to a Crisis of (Failed) Integration of Said Migrants “Migration Crisis” and Migrant Caravans (October 2018-January 2019) in Mexico: An Analysis from Contemporary Academic Publications Emerging from Crisis: Transformations in Uruguayan Migration Management of Venezuelan Migration Part II The COVID 19 Pandemic as Crisis: Immobility of Workers in Chubut, Patagonia, Argentina Parting and Keep on Existing.

Springer International Publishing AG Immigrant and Asylum Seekers Labour Market
Book SynopsisThrough an inter-subjective lens, this open access book investigates the initial labour market integration experiences of these migrants, refugees or asylum seekers, who are characterised by different biographies and migration/asylum trajectories. The book gives voice to the migrants and seeks to highlight their own experiences and understandings of the labour market integration process, in the first years of immigration. It adopts a critical, qualitative perspective but does not remain ethnographic. The book rather refers the migrants’ own voice and experience to their own expert knowledge of the policy and socio-economic context that is navigated. Each chapter brings into dialogue the migrant’s intersubjective experiences with the relevant policies and practices, as well as with the relevant stakeholders, whether local government, national services, civil society or migrant organisations. The book concludes with relevant critical insights as to how labour market integration is lived on the ground and on what migrants ‘do’ with labour market policies rather than on what labour market policies ‘do’ to or for migrants.Trade Review“Immigrant and Asylum Seekers Labour Market Integration upon Arrival: NowHereLand is a must read book that allows a prismatic point of view onto the lives of migrants, their bodies, trajectories, and personal journeys … .” (Angela Cacciarru, EuropeNow, europenowjournal.org, February, 2023)Table of Contents

Springer International Publishing AG Syrian Refugees in Turkey: Between Reception and
Book SynopsisThis open access book provides a comprehensive analysis of Turkey’s response to Syrian mass migration from 2011 to 2020. It examines internal and external dimensions of the refugee issue in relation to Middle Eastern geopolitics as well as the salience of controlling irregular migration to the European Union. The book focuses on policies and discourses developed in the fields of border management, reception, asylum and protection, and integration of refugees with an emphasis on continuities, ruptures and changes. One of its main goals is to compare differences in policy practices across provinces in order to better capture ways in which Syrian refugees claim agency, develop belonging and experience integration in the context of cultural intimacy, precarity and temporariness. By providing rich empirical evidence, this book provides a valuable resource for students and scholars in migration studies, political science, anthropology, sociology and public administration disciplines as well as policy makers, stakeholders and the general public.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the relationship between Vikings, Rus' and nomadic (mostly Turkic) steppe dwellers during the course of the Viking Age (c. 7501050) in a geographical area stretching from Eastern Scandinavia through the Kievan Rus', Byzantium, the Islamic world to the Western Eurasian steppes.The primary focus is the steppe influence on the development of Scandinavian-Rus' culture. It illustrates the effects of Turkic (nomadic) cultures on the evolving Scandinavian-Rus' communities in their military technology and tactics, as well as in everyday customs, ritual traditions and religious perceptions, whilst paying attention to the politico-commercial necessities and possible communication channels tying these two cultures, normally considered to be distinct, together. The arguments are supported by a multi-disciplinary analysis of diverse historical and archaeological materials occasionally supplemented with linguistic evidence. The result is a comprehensive evaluation of theTable of Contents1: Introduction; 2: The steppe and the Viking world; 3: Armed conflicts; 4: Trade; 5: Retinues; 6: Customs and religion(s); 7: Communication; Conclusions; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rethinking Migration and Return in Southeastern
Book SynopsisThis book provides an important new analytical framework for making sense of return, remigration and circular mobility, conceptualising them as different phases of a wider migration process. Using an in-depth case study of Albania and its two main destination countries, Italy and Greece, the book demonstrates that instead of being viewed as a linear path between origin and destination, migration should be seen as a segmented, or cyclical pattern that may involve several localities and more than two countries. Characterised by important previous historical, social, economic and political linkages, geographical proximity but also high migration volatility and sustained flows in either directions, Albanian migration to Italy and Greece offers an optimal case study for analysing complex return, reintegration and mobility processes. While interesting as a unique regional migration system, the lessons learned cast light on important migration and mobility dynamics that are relevantTable of Contents1. Rethinking return, reintegration, and mobility in south-eastern Europe. 2. Setting the analytical framework: reconceptualising return, reintegration, and mobility. 3.

Taylor & Francis Inc Trajectories and Imaginaries in Migration
Book SynopsisThis book draws attention to the various factors that characterize migrant flows and mobilities, calling into question familiar concepts such as push and pull, migration as a life project and sociocultural integration. It highlights processes such as fl exible migrant routes, temporary and return migration, mental aspects of migration processes and transnationalism, which are organised around the themes of shaping trajectories, frictions in space, and the migrant mental framework. It brings together work from scholars from Europe and beyond, with the contributions collected emphasizing the social and mental processes that underpin the migratory process, which can be seen as the soft side' of migration. Too often, this side is neglected when the governance of migration is discussed. The novel ideas expressed here also help to overcome the mechanistic view of migration as a push-pull event. Thus, the book suggests a different understanding of migration and mobility as relational, non-Trade Review"The book does what it promises: it focuses its reader’s attention on the increasing variety and flexibility of current migration flows, both voluntary and forced, and considers their interconnections. The book discusses migration as a global phenomenon. The definite advantage of the book is its global focus, and inclusion in the analysis the localities and local knowledge of migration outside of Europe. The empirical work discussed by the authors is insightful."Tiina Sotkasiira, University of Eastern Finland, Nordic Journal of Migration Table of ContentsList of Figures, Tables and BoxesSeries Editor’s PrefaceAcknowledgementsList of AbbreviationsList of Foreign Words and PhrasesNotes on Contributors1.

Book SynopsisIn the post-Cold war period new security threats have arisen in Western Europe. Amongst these, organized crime and illegal immigration are acknowledged to represent significant security challenges. The European Union and Internal Security analyses the nature of these challenges and investigates how the EU has been evolving to counter them.

Manchester University Press Stories from a Migrant City: Living and Working
Book SynopsisNationalists and nativists often blame the figure of the immigrant ‘other’ for society’s ills, contrasting this with the ‘local’ or ‘native’ whose livelihood and way of life are seen as under threat from immigration. Being at ease with difference is seen as the worldview of a cosmopolitan elite.Stories from a migrant city argues for an urgent transformation of how such terms are understood and deployed. Drawing on eight years of research in an English provincial city and a biographical approach to oral history, this book challenges the ways in which people have come to be seen as ‘migrants’ or ‘locals’ and understood to have opposing interests. Non-elite cosmopolitanism is shown to be alive and well, in spite of racism, the legacies of empire and the devastating effects of four decades of neoliberalism.Trade Review'Stories from a migrant city is a beautifully written book mapping the consolidation of a complex culture of multi-ethnic working class cosmopolitanism amid the rise of reactionary populisms.Drawing on a decade of painstaking research on local workplaces and neighbourhoods, Rogaly uncovers the shared histories of mobility and fixity as well as how they continue to be disrupted by class inequalities and racisms. He should be applauded for not only producing an analytically sophisticated book but one which provides us with some of the resources of hope that might one day help to plot a path towards a more open and democratic future for all.'Professor Satnam Virdee, University of Glasgow 'A powerful, thoughtful and much needed contribution'Fatima Manji, Correspondent, Channel 4 News 'In the face of the most ugly uses of ‘place’ as a code for racialised exclusivity, this poignant and necessary book encourages us to think more expansively - of varieties of inclusion and exclusion, of unexpected conviviality and cosmopolitanism from below, of tactics of racial capitalism that set us against each other and spaces of imagination that can bring us together. All in the form of a kind of love-song to... Peterborough.'Professor Gargi Bhattacharyya, University of East London'In this extraordinary book Ben Rogaly shows us that we need to rethink who is considered a ‘migrant’ and who is a ‘local.’ The urgent lesson contained in these pages is that any step towards challenging the racism that distorts and confines the immigration debate needs to listen out for what is emerging in the ordinary life of cosmopolitanism from the bottom-up.'Professor Les Back, Goldsmiths, University of London'Ben Rogaly succeeds in dissolving the distinction between ‘local’ and ‘migrant’ to illuminate everyday forms of working-class multicultural interaction and conviviality. A ‘must-read’ book in an age of Brexit uncertainty, changing global macro-economic processes and the rise of nationalist nostalgia.'Professor Anoop Nayak, Newcastle University'This book is for anyone interested in British identity. You don’t need to have spent your Saturdays as a teenager hanging around the Queensgate shopping centre to find it informative and compelling. But Rogaly also resists using the city merely as a way to explain something bigger, as a stand-in for other provincial places.In Stories From a Migrant City, Peterborough exists, in and of itself, as a distinct place. We need more books that do the same for other cities and towns in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world.'Charlotte L. Riley, New Humanist'Rogaly’s Stories from a Migrant City challenges contemporary understandings of immigrant inclusion and exclusion and xenophobic antipathy in the aftermath of Brexit. Rogaly (Univ. of Sussex, UK) criticizes common analyses of Brexit as a clash between open-minded, cosmopolitan elites and racist, native-born, working-class whites. Instead, using a politics of place in Peterborough (a small, provincial city outside of London), coupled with illuminating oral history data drawn from "locals," "newcomers," "immigrants," and "elites," he reveals that the politics that put Brexit into play are more complicated than the superficial images presented in the media and in much academic discourse. Rogaly demonstrates that cosmopolitanism is regularly practiced in the everyday lives of Peterborough’s working- and middle-class inhabitants. Late-stage capitalism and neoliberalism have put everything in flux so that the terms "native" and "migrant" do not adequately reflect who lives in Britain and whose "authentic" British lifestyle is at stake from the promises and threats of Brexit. Disruption of continuity of place magnifies changes, making them seem more threatening to the national and local projects. Rogaly provides glimmers of hope highlighting historical moments of opportunities for unity.--R. A. Harper, York CollegeSumming Up: Highly recommended.

Manchester University Press Sanctuary Cities and Urban Struggles: Rescaling
Book SynopsisSanctuary Cities and Urban Struggles makes the first sustained intervention into exploring how cities are challenging the primacy of the nation-state as the key guarantor of rights and entitlements. It brings together cutting-edge scholars of political geography, urban geography, citizenship studies, socio-legal studies and refugee studies to explore how urban social movements, localised practices of belonging and rights claiming, and diverse articulations of sanctuary are reshaping the governance of migration. By offering a collection of empirical cases and conceptualisations that move beyond 'seeing like a state', Sanctuary Cities and Urban Struggles proposes not a singular alternative but rather a set of interlocking sites and scales of political imagination and practice. In an era when migrant rights are under attack and nationalism is on the rise, the topic of how citizenship, rights and mobility can be recast at the urban scale is more relevant than ever.Table of Contents1 Introduction: Sanctuary Cities and Urban Struggles: Rescaling Migration, Citizenship and Rights - Jonathan Darling and Harald BauderPart I: Sanctuary cities 2 Urban sanctuary in context - Harald Bauder 3 Uncovering sanctuary cities: between policy, practice, and politics - Janika Kuge4 City of hope, city of fear: sanctuary and security in Toronto, Canada - Graham Hudson 5 Toronto’s sanctuary city policy: rationale and barriers - Idil Atak 6 Sanctuary artivism: expanding geopolitical imaginations - Jen Bagelman Part II: Urban struggles 7 Understanding local government’s engagement in immigrant policymaking in the US - M.

Manchester University Press Rethinking Settlement and Integration: Migrants'
Book SynopsisRethinking settlement and integration argues that concepts well-established in migration studies such as ‘settlement’ and ‘integration’ do not sufficiently capture the features of adaptation and settling of contemporary migrants. Instead, Grzymala-Kazlowska proposes the integrative and transdisciplinary concept of 'anchoring', linking the notions of identity, adaptation and settling while underlining migrants’ efforts at recovering their feeling of security and stability. Drawing on in-depth interviews and questionnaires with Polish migrants in the United Kingdom and Ukrainian migrants in Poland, ethnographic and autobiographical research as well as the analysis of texts from internet forums and blogs, this monograph demonstrates the applications of the author’s original concept of 'anchoring', and its foregrounding of the combination of sociological and psychological perspectives. Rethinking settlement and integration aims not only to examine the processes of adaptation and settling among today’s migrants, but highlights practical implications to better support individuals facing changes and challenges in new, complex and fluid societies.Table of ContentsIntroduction1 Rethinking settlement and integration: a critical and integrative literature review2 Developing the concept of anchoring: from a metaphor through a sensitising concept to an empirically grounded concept 3 Researching migrants' anchoring4 From mobility to anchoring: Ukrainian migrants in Poland 5 Anchored not rooted: Polish migrants in the UK 6 Towards a general model of migrants’ anchoring 7 Insecurities, constraints and inequalities in anchoring Conclusions: from theory to practical applications?Appendix: characteristics of intervieweesReferencesIndex

Manchester University Press Border Images, Border Narratives: The Political
Book SynopsisThis interdisciplinary volume explores the role of images and narratives in different borderscapes. Written by experienced scholars in the field, Border images, border narratives provides fresh insight into how borders, borderscapes, and migration are imagined and narrated in public and private spheres. Offering new ways to approach the political aesthetics of the border and its ambiguities, this volume makes a valuable contribution to the methodological renewal of border studies and presents ways of discussing cultural representations of borders and related processes. Influenced by the thinking of philosopher Jacques Rancière, this timely volume argues that narrated and mediated images of borders and borderscapes are central to the political process, as they contribute to the public negotiation of borders and address issues such as the in/visiblity of migrants and the formation of alternative borderscapes. The contributions analyse narratives and images in literary texts, political and popular imagery, surveillance data, border art, and documentaries, as well as problems related to borderland identities, migration, and trauma. The case studies provide a highly comparative range of geographical contexts ranging from Northern Europe and Britain, via Mediterranean and Mexican-USA borderlands, to Chinese borderlands from the perspectives of critical theory, literary studies, social anthropology, media studies, and political geography.Trade Review'The collection succeeds in its intended purpose to contribute towards new approaches to the relevance and workings of borders.

Manchester University Press Expatriate: Following a Migration Category
Book SynopsisWho are expatriates? How do they differ from other migrants? And why should we care about such distinctions? Expatriate interrogates the contested category of ‘the expatriate’ to explore its history and politics, its making and lived experience. Drawing on ethnographic and archival research, the book offers a critical reading of International Human Resource Management literature, explores the work and history of the Expatriate Archive Centre in The Hague, and studies the usage and significance of the category in Kenyan history and present-day ‘expat Nairobi’. Doing so, the book traces the figure of the expatriate from the mid-twentieth-century era of decolonisation to today’s heated debates about migration.The expatriate emerges as a malleable and contested category, of shifting meaning and changing membership, and as passionately embraced by some as it is rejected by others. The book situates the changing usage of the term in the context of social, political and economic struggle and explores the material and discursive work the expatriate performs in negotiating social inequalities and power relations. Migration, the book argues, is a key terrain on which colonial power relations have been reproduced and translated, and migration categories are at the heart of the insidious ways that intersecting material and symbolic inequalities are enacted today. Any project for social justice needs to dissect and interrogate categories like the expatriate, and this book offers analytical and methodical strategies to advance this project.Trade Review‘By focussing on the trajectory of a social category so many of us take for granted, this book offers a creative, critical and provocative engagement with the discursive and postcolonial history of the ways we think about migration more generally. For anyone concerned about the ways migration and mobility have been, and continue to be, governed, imagined and experienced, this book is an essential read.’Tariq Jazeel, University College London‘Kunz’s delicate, scholarly tapestry of ethnography and Kenyan independence archives reveals how the category ‘expatriate’ is entangled in the shifting postcolonial power dynamics of migration and the murky politics of oil. A must read for migration scholars.’Caroline Knowles, Queen Mary, University of London‘Brilliant, insightful and often surprising, this book leverages the ever changing social category “expatriate” to explore the intersections of race, colonialism, management and migration.

Haymarket Books Coercive Geographies: Historicizing Mobility,
Book SynopsisResponding to the deteriorating situation of migrants today and the complex geographies they navigate, Coercive Geographies examines historical and contemporary forms of coercion and constraint exercised by a wide range of actors in diverse settings. It links the question of spatial confines to that of labor. Coercive Geographies represents an important attempt to bring together space, precarity, labor coercion and mobility in an analytical lens. Precarity emerges in particular geographical and historical contexts, which are decisive for how it is shaped. This volume analyzes coercive geographies as localized and spatialized intersections between labor regulations and migration policies, which become detrimental to existing mobility frameworks. Contributors include: Irina Aguiari, Abdulkadir Osman Farah, Leandros Fischer, Konstantinos Floros, Johan Heinsen, Martin Bak Jørgensen, Martin Ottovay Jørgensen, Apostolos Kapsalis, Karin Krifors, Sven Van Melkebeke, Susi Meret, and Vasileios Spyridon Vlassis.

Berghahn Books Space, Place and Identity: Wodaabe of Niger in
Book Synopsis Known as highly mobile cattle nomads, the Wodaabe in Niger are today increasingly engaged in a transformation process towards a more diversified livelihood based primarily on agro-pastoralism and urban work migration. This book examines recent transformations in spatial patterns, notably in the context of urban migration and in processes of sedentarization in rural proto-villages. The book analyses the consequences that the recent change entails for social group formation and collective identification, and how this impacts integration into wider society amid the structures of the modern nation state.Trade Review “Köhler’s work can be recommended to all those who are interested in pastoral nomadism and the societies of the West African Sahel region. It is also an inspiring congtribution to recent debates in social science mobility research.” • JRAI (Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute) “…a substantial addition to the body of literature that examines ongoing transformations in the lifestyles of contemporary nomadic Fulɓe societies. Its central thesis, which stresses the translocal networking ability of nomadic peoples, sheds valuable light on the adaptive strategies required to cope with increasing global resource scarcity.” • Nomadic Peoples “A highly welcome contribution to research on mobility in West Africa and more particularly in the West-African Sahel region in as far as it focusses on the complexity of mobility phenomena in a pastoral nomadic group.” • Elisabeth Boesen, Université du Luxembourg “This is a wonderful and deeply detailed study of a group of Wodaabe in Niger.

Berghahn Books Finding Ways Through Eurospace: West African
Book Synopsis Studying the im/mobility trajectories of West Africans in the EU, this book presents a new approach to West African migrants in Europe. It argues that a migration lens is not necessarily the best starting point to understand these dynamic im/mobility processes. Rather than seeing migrancy as the primary marker of their lives, this book positions these trajectories in a wider social script of mobility and discusses how African migrants are confronted with rigid mobility regimes, but also how they manage to transgress and circumvent them.Trade Review “… a beautifully written, thought-provoking book [that] will be of interest to migration and mobilities scholars across the humanities and social sciences. The author’s ability to turn ethnographic findings into compelling stories also makes the book accessible to nonacademic readerships. Despite—or perhaps because of—its efforts to set itself off from conventional migration studies, it is a crucial contribution to migration and mobilities research.” • Migration and Society “The deep empirical focus and reflections valuably document people’s lives as they recount complex, sometimes contradictory stories in ways that resist easy generalization… It suggests valuable ways of applying theory from urban studies, ethnography, sociology, and international relations. It illustrates concretely the value of applying concepts drawn from elsewhere to better understand migration and insert studies of human mobility into the disciplinary canon.” • The AAG (American Association of Geographers) Review of Books “…a valuable, important work which should be read by scholars working in the fields of migration/mobility, European integration or African diasporas. It will also be of interest to scholars interested in biopower and governmentally, given the level of control exercised by the state on movers across their lives.” • Irish Journal of Anthropology “Schapendonk’s remarkable book shows how movers are made into and unmake themselves as migrants. It openly defies any attempt at reducing West African trajectories through Europe to received categories and classifications in migration studies.” • Paolo Gaibazzi, Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient “The book… is an absolutely unique and thought-provoking contribution to current discussions about “migration” – especially from Africa – in Europe.” • Matthieu Bolay, The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, GenevaTable of Contents Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations Introduction Part I: Navigations Chapter 1.

Goodfellow Publishers Limited Tracking Tourists: Movement and Mobility
Book SynopsisUnlike previous texts that have focussed on migratory patterns of tourists and new mobilities in tourism, Tracking Tourists: Movement and mobility is the first text to address tourist movement in from a methodological angle in the post-digital era. It assesses how movement and migration has been recorded in the past, how it may be recorded and assessed now and the possibilities for exploring movement in the future. Using international case studies that are both current and historical, it explores the range of options that exist for assessing tourists’ movement, along with the relative merits of each method. It will give a special focus to new technologies that facilitate our understanding of movement, such as the use of big data, hashtag scraping, Wi-Fi tracking, farming data from mobile phone towers and cutting-edge GPS tracking. It discusses the positive and negative consequences of the use of these new technologies and tackles issues such as ethical dilemmas and future trends and technology needs. Tracking Tourists: Movement and mobility: * Serves as the definitive guide for understanding the methods involved in understanding tourist movements and tourist migration patterns’ * Uses international case studies from around the world, both current and historical to explore the range of options that exist. * Gives a special focus to new technologies that facilitate our understanding of movement.Table of ContentsIntroduction Section One: the Past 1.
