Migration, immigration og emigration

A TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Solito is my travel book of the year.' Telegraph 'Heartbreaking A rare, eye-opening rendition of the brutal reality of border-crossing.' Lea Ypi ';If there's any justice, Solito will someday be considered a classic.' Rumaan Alam Young Javier dreams of eating orange sherbet ice cream with his parents in the United States. For this to happen, he must embark on a three-thousand-mile journey alone. It should last only two weeks. But it takes seven. In limbo, Javier learns what people will do to survive and what they will forfeit to save someone else. This is a memoir of perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, and pointed guns. But it is also a story of tasting tacos for the first time, of who passes you their water jug in the crippling heat, and of longing to be in your mother's arms.

"When Javier Zamora was nine, he traveled unaccompanied by bus, boat, and foot from El Salvador to the United States to reunite with his parents. This is his memoir of that dangerous journey, a nine-week odyssey that nearly ended in calamity on multiple occasions. It's a miracle that Javier survived the crossing and a miracle that he has the talent to now tell his story so masterfully. While Solito is Javier's story, it's also the story of millions of others who have risked so much to come to this country. A memoir that reads like a novel, rooted in precise and authentic detail, Solito is destined to be a classic of the immigration experience"--

This book explores the possibilities of understanding the concept of climate refugees in order to ascribe to a consensual agreement that climate refugees are evident and this situation is a reality.A framework to study both empirically and theoretically is presented in a detailed manner so that it may become a resource for understanding the challenges of climate refugees.Through discussion and analysis the book presents potential answers to such questions as:¿ Why has the international system been so short-sighted and has not given importance to the problems of climate migrants and refugees?¿ How to identify a climate refugee?¿ How do you justify a climate refugee or a migrant?¿ What are internally displaced people? Should we call them just refugees?The book covers the interdisciplinary nature of climate refugees and the perspectives of social science. The empirical findings provides an edge to holistically understanding climate refugees.This book discusses the concept of, what really is a climate refugee, and the necessary factors to make it an important part of the climate discourse. The legality of the term is missing in international parlance, and the academic discourse should provide the necessary critique required for the evolution of the subject under study. Therefore, the major objective of the book is to make the subject of climate migration known to all.

How do migration and integration change when ¿crisis becomes normalcy¿? This open access book investigates this question in the present context of turbulent times when, instead of dealing with one crisis, migrants, governments and whole societies have to cope within a complex web of multiple unsettling events that create anxieties about migration. Emphasising a plurality of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, as well as a variety of geographical settings in Europe and beyond, the chapters bring new insights into migrations produced by global political events, national political shifts, economic downturns and the Covid-19 pandemic. Special attention is given to both migrants¿ experiences and policy outcomes. The result is an impressive rethinking of the concepts and terminology applied to migration and integration, of interest to students, social scientists, and policy-makers.

An unlikely friendship, a four-thousand-mile voyage, and an impenetrable frontier-this dramatic odyssey reveals the chaos and cruelty US immigration policies have unleashed beyond our borders.Axel Kirschner was a lifelong New Yorker, all Queens hustle and bravado. But he was also undocumented. After a minor traffic violation while driving his son to kindergarten, Axel was deported to Guatemala, a country he swore he had not lived in since he was a baby. While fighting his way back through Mexico on a migrant caravan, Axel met Levi Vonk, a young anthropologist and journalist from the US. That chance encounter would change both of their lives forever.Levi soon discovered that Axel was no ordinary migrant. He was harbouring a secret: Axel was a hacker. This secret would launch the two friends on a dangerous adventure far beyond what either of them could have imagined. While Axel's abilities gave him an edge in a system that denied his existence, they would also ensnare him in a tangled underground network of human traffickers, corrupt priests, and anti-government guerrillas eager to exploit his talents for their own ends. And along the way, Axel's secret only raised more questions for Levi about his past. How had Axel learned to hack? What did he want? And was Axel really who he said he was?Border Hacker is at once an adventure saga-the story of a man who would do anything to return to his family, and the friend who would do anything to help him-and a profound parable about the violence of American immigration policy told through a single, extraordinary life.

Nel parlare di "luoghi della memoria" il primo riferimento è spesso a siti di interesse storico legati ad avvenimenti di carattere bellico. Tuttavia l'espressione "luoghi di memoria" racchiude nella sua matrice semantica una valenza assai più articolata. Un luogo di memoria può essere inteso come una unità significativa, tanto di ordine materiale che ideale, che la volontà degli esseri umani o il lavorio del tempo hanno reso elemento simbolico di una qualche comunità.-dall'introduzione

In recent years, UN agencies, global tech corporations, states and humanitarian NGOs have invested in advanced technologies from smart borders to digital identities to manage migratory movements. These are surveillance technologies that have intensified the militarization of borders and became a testing ground for surveillance capitalism. This book shows how these technologies reproduce structural inequalities and discriminative policies. Korkmaz reveals the way in which they grant extensive powers to states and big tech corporations to control communities. Unpacking the effects of surveillance capitalism on vulnerable populations, this is a much-needed intervention that will be of interest to readers in a range of fields.

Syrian refugees who gained asylum in Germany following the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 quickly entered into an 'integration regime' which produced a binary notion of 'well integrated' migrants versus refugees falling short of the narrow social and political definitions of a 'good' refugee. Etzel's rich ethnographic study shows how refugees navigated this conditional inclusion. While some asylum seekers gained international protection, others were left with limited agency to demand government accountability for the ever-moving target of integration. Putting a spotlight on the inconsistencies and failings of a universal approach to integration, this is an important contribution to the wider field of migration and anthropology of the state.

The turnover of labour and its significance for workers and employers has usually been considered at the organizational level as individual exit behaviour, and seldom in relation to the cross-border mobility practices of migrant workers within and without the workplace. Drawing from labour process theory, the autonomy of migration, social reproduction, and industrial relations, this book explores the relationship between labour mobility and international migration under a global and historical perspective. Uncovering both the individual and collective actions by migrants inside and outside worker organizations, the authors develop a new understanding of migrants' everyday mobilities as creative and life-sustaining strategies of social reproduction and labour conflict.

Migration is not a new phenomenon; it has a centuries-long history since the world's population has been characterized by the desire to relocate not only from one country to another, but from one continent to another as well. However, there is a significant difference between the migrations of the past and the current one. Today's migration is complicated by the strong emotional reaction and hostile attitude from society. The study of migration processes needs interdisciplinary approaches. The Handbook of Research on the Regulation of the Modern Global Migration and Economic Crisis presents emerging research and case studies on global migration in the modern world. Through interdisciplinary approaches, it further showcases the current challenges and approaches in regulation. Covering topics such as forced migration, human trafficking, and national identity, this major reference work is an excellent resource for migration specialists, government officials, politicians, sociologists, economists, students and educators of higher education, researchers, and academicians.

"A powerful argument for separating immigration enforcement from the criminal legal system, by one of the nation's foremost "crimmigration" experts"--

A mobilidade estudantil é uma das principais estratégias de internacionalização das instituições de ensino superior, as quais têm vindo a investir intensamente em políticas diversas de atração e acolhimento académico. No contexto da Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa, colocam-se problemáticas específicas e complexas no que diz respeito ao papel da língua portuguesa e das culturas nessa mobilidade, apenas parcialmente relativas à sua natureza de língua pluricêntrica: de que forma a língua portuguesa e as suas variedades regionais e nacionais surgem na mobilidade internacional de estudantes do ensino superior? Que representações das línguas e das variedades das línguas em presença podem ser identificadas? Essas representações apontam para discursos deficitários relativamente à variação ou, em oposição, para um entendimento da língua portuguesa, na sua diversidade intrínseca, como potenciadora de espaços dialógicos e de emergência de outras possibilidades de entender e observar o mundo, as sociedades e o conhecimento? Que desafios e potencialidades surgem do encontro entre diferentes culturas (pedagógicas, académicas, investigativas, epistemológicas ¿)? Será a heterogeneidade linguístico-cultural e pedagógico-académica considerada uma mais-valia ou um constrangimento? Em que aspetos e com que consequências e implicações individuais, sociais, linguístico-comunicativas e epistemológicas? Estas são algumas das principais questões abordadas neste livro onde se cruzam vozes de estudantes, professores, supervisores e instituições de Angola, Brasil, Moçambique e Portugal.

The notions of labour, mobility and piety have a complex and intertwined relationship. Using ethnographic methods and a historical perspective, Temple Tracks critically outlines the interlink of railway construction in colonial and post-colonial Asia, as well as the anthropology of infrastructure and transnational mobilities with religion. In Malaysia and Singapore, evidence of religion-making and railway-building from a colonial past is visible in multiple modes and media as memories, recollections and 'traces'.

"The last few decades have seen an increase in the migration of ageing people from richer Northern and Western countries to poorer Southern and Eastern countries. This book seeks to understand the motivation behind retirement migration and how precarity in later life contributes to this trend. Drawing on accounts of retirees from different nations, the book examines how welfare policies in their home country and their country of migration interact to shape their experiences of migration. It shows how ageism impacts social precarity across different social classes, and across economic, social and health dimensions. It also evaluates how local and global systems of inequalities influence retirement migrants' experience, providing both opportunities and constraints that differ across countries."--

Die Inobhutnahme nach unbegleiteter Einreise aus dem Ausland wird im Zuge aktueller Migrationsbewegungen zu einer Hauptaufgabe deutscher Jugendämter. Diese haben in der Inobhutnahme zu prüfen, wem die Maßnahmen der Jugendhilfe rechtmäßig zukommen. Alterszuschreibungen werden in diesem Kontext zu einer kritischen Bewertung, die Jugendliche zum Teil der Personenkategorie der unbegleiteten minderjährigen Flüchtlinge macht und andere davon ausschließt.Diese soziologische Analyse macht sich das administrative Verfahren der Inobhutnahme zum Gegenstand und fragt, wie Personen Teil obiger Personenkategorie werden. Inobhutnahmen nach unbegleiteter Einreise aus dem Ausland erscheinen hier als aktiv hervorgebrachter und konfliktiver Zuschreibungsprozess, dessen jeder neue Schritt neue Unsicherheiten erzeugt und jeder Beobachtung eine Vorläufigkeit einschreibt. Anhand der wissenssoziologischen Rekonstruktion von Einsichtnahmen in Ausweispapiere, Inaugenscheinnahmen und ärztlichen Untersuchungen macht die Analyse die administrative Realisierung von Ordnung sichtbar. Alterszuschreibungen erfolgen hier vor dem Hintergrund und in Auseinandersetzung mit westlich-hegemonialen Ideen über das Alter einer Person. Die Analyse des Inobhutnahmeverfahrens verhilft damit einem Merkmal zu Sichtbarkeit, über das Personen nur unter ganz bestimmten Umständen verfügen können.

This book is about homemaking in situations of migration and displacement. It explores how homes are made, remade, lost, revived, expanded and contracted through experiences of migration, to ask what it means to make a home away from home. We draw together a wide range of perspectives from across multiple disciplines and contexts, which explore how old homes, lost homes, and new homes connect and disconnect through processes of homemaking. The volume asks: how do spaces of resettlement or rehoming reflect both the continuation of old homes and distinct new experiences?Based on collaborations with migrants, refugees, practitioners and artists, this book centres the lived experiences, testimonies, and negotiations of those who are displaced. The volume generates appreciation of the tensions that emerge in contexts of migration and displacement, as well as of the ways in which racial categories and colonial legacies continue to shape fields of lived experience.
