Migration, immigration og emigration

Gesellschaften, die durch globale Entwicklungen, Migration und sozialen Wandel geprägt sind, stehen vor Herausforderungen, die den Zusammenhalt und Nachhaltige Entwicklung beeinflussen. Das Buch bietet eine Sammlung von Fachtexten, die aus sozialwissenschaftlichen, psychologischen und migrationspädagogischen Ansätzen abgeleitet sind. Für Akteur*innen der Sportpolitik definiert es strukturelle Voraussetzungen für ein ganzheitliches sportbezogenes Bildungsverständnis. Pädagog*innen in unterschiedlichen Sportsettings erhalten wichtige Impulse, um Bildungsprozesse systematisch anzuregen und gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt durch Sport zu fördern. Wenn der Sport eine Ressource für soziale Kontakte, die Erfahrung von Zugehörigkeit und erfülltes Freizeitleben für Alle sein soll, dann sind transformatorische Prozesse notwendig. Die Beiträge zeigen auf, wie durch Organisationsentwicklung, Netzwerke und Bildungslandschaften, vielfaltsgerechte Sportdidaktiksowie durch Qualifizierung im Kontext von Sport for Development (SfD)-Programmen die Transformation gelingen kann.

"Working-class Britons played a crucial role in the pioneering settlement and integration of South Asians in imperial Britain. Using a host of new and neglected sources, Imperial Heartland revises the history of early South Asian immigration to Britain, presenting a fresh and inspiring picture of settlement and inter-racial tolerance"--

This work identifies people from the old counties of West Lothian, Mid Lothian, East Lothian, Berwickshire, Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, and Peeblesshire, now known as Lothian and Borders, for the period 1800 to 1850. The information derives from a wide range of contemporary sources such as court records, newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The main families traditionally found in the region, which stretches from the Firth of Forth to the border with England, include Home, Lindsay, Elphinstone, Seton, Dundas, Hamilton, Scott, Elliot, and Douglas.

Uniquely informed by a sociological perspective, this major new textbook introduces the underlying origins and consequences of international migration, placing individuals within a broader social, cultural and historical context. This comprehensive introduction analyses international migration and its effects on those who migrate, their families, and their places of origin and destination. Drawing on illustrative examples from around the world, the book covers the major theories concerning the origins of international migration and the manner, degree and consequences of migrants' incorporation into the societies to which they move. It also includes in-depth discussion of how international migration is relevant to key issues - gender, the family, and religion; the so-called refugee 'crisis' in much of the developed world; and offers insights throughout into cutting-edge research from emotions and lifestyle migration to the proliferation of digital communication technologies. This text expertly offers students the necessary skills to unpack common myths that are used to inform policy and media discourse, including abstract distinctions between 'refugee' and 'economic migrant', the complex and ambiguous nature of migrant national identity, and that while many richer countries of the world are characterized by a perceived refugee 'crisis', it is in fact poorer and developing countries that see the vast majority of the world's refugees and displaced persons.

The second half of the 18th century saw the construction of the New Town of Edinburgh, to the north of the medieval burgh and across the Nor' Loch. During the first half of the 19th century, Edinburgh and Leith remained as two distinct communities. Leith only became a burgh in 1833 and remained so until it was formally integrated into Edinburgh in 1922. This book is based largely on contemporary newspapers and magazines, monumental inscriptions around Edinburgh, and a host of sources found in archives. The entries combine information on people who went abroad as well as those who remained in Edinburgh. The Scottish Enlightenment gave Edinburgh much of its international renown. Edinburgh became the capital of the Scottish professional classes, and it also was the center of publishing, banking, the Church, and insurance companies, as well as distinguished educational establishments. Transportation improvements, such as the Leith Docks, introduction of the railways, and construction of bridges within the city, enabled Edinburgh to expand. During the 19th century, the affluent would abandon the Old Town in favor of the New Town, the middle classes and the skilled workers moved out to the suburbs, while those who had no option remained in the Old Town. Leith functioned as the port of Edinburgh. The import-export trade initially was confined to western Europe but eventually became worldwide. Timber was imported from Scandinavia, grain from the Baltic, and wine from France and Spain, while coal from nearby coalfields was exported to Scandinavia and the Netherlands. Leith was famous for its glass and bottle-making works, brewing, distilling, and warehousing. Leith was also an important shipbuilding center, and many immigrant transports sailed from Leith.

In this unique and insightful book, Markus Bell explores the hidden histories of the men, women, and children who traveled from Japan to the world's most secretive state-North Korea.
