This book identifies the people resident in Glasgow and in neighboring Clydesdale (alias Lanarkshire), as well as persons abroad who originated in these locations, during the first half of the 19th century. The information derives from a wide range of sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The entries bring together emigrants, their origins, and destinations"""especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia"""with their kin who remained in Scotland. The best sources for those researchers with their roots in or around Glasgow are two Family History Societies: the Glasgow and West of Scotland FHS and the Lanarkshire FHS. The best single genealogy library in the area is the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, which claims to be one of the largest reference libraries in Europe. By 1800, the economy of Glasgow, already dependent on transatlantic trade, had begun to industrialize. Capital increasingly was invested in collieries and iron mines, engineering, shipbuilding, and textile factories to produce goods for export. The burgeoning population of Glasgow, partly stemming from immigrants from the West Highlands and from Ireland, also caused an expansion of agriculture along the Clyde Valley. The expanding population, however, gave rise to poverty, social unrest, and the spread of diseases such as typhus and cholera, which in turn fueled emigration to North America, the West Indies, and Australasia. Glasgow's skilled, white-collar work force was in demand abroad, especially in the rapidly industrializing United States, thus also contributing to emigration for this more affluent economic class.

Drawing on an ethnographic study on young Moroccan immigrants in Europe (France and Italy), this book analyses the hegemonic power of heteronormativity and its plural expressions.

This book explores the complex legal, cultural, economic and human rights issues associated with development-induced displacement and resettlement (DIDR) in Vietnam.As in many parts of the world, urban expansion and large-scale infrastructure projects in Vietnam often rely on forced land acquisition, which can result in the involuntary resettlement of households and entire communities. This book examines the adequacy of monetary and in-kind compensation and the support that resettlees need for successful integration into host communities and for sustainable livelihoods and improved well-being. It presents new paradigms and practices that place affected households at the centre of project planning and implementation to fully address the needs of the most vulnerable. This includes women, the elderly, and ethnic minority groups. Bringing together research evidence, practical experience, and insights of distinguished researchers, this book is the first to systematically examine DIDR in Vietnam, a single-party state seeking to balance state interests with the demands of investors and civil society for human rights and participation by affected people.Combining the latest evidence and research findings on development-induced displacement and resettlement in Vietnam with practical experiences in project implementation, this book will be a useful guide for researchers across development, migration, and Southeast Asian Studies, as well as practitioners and policy makers. Its lessons will also be relevant to other countries facing rapid development.

Through engaging the themes of co-ethnicity, intersectionality and postcoloniality, this book contributes to extant studies of migration. It will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of Sociology, Social and Political Geography, Social Anthropology, History and Politics.

With contributions from six leading scientific countries of the Global North and from the general European Higher Education Area, this book questions the predominant view on academic freedom and pleads for a holistic approach.

Dieses Buch bewertet systematisch die politischen und sozialen Werte der mehr als 1,3 Milliarden Katholiken auf der ganzen Welt, der bei weitem größten Konfession des westlichen Christentums. Auf der Grundlage einer umfassenden Analyse von Daten aus dem World Values Survey und anderen globalen Meinungsumfragen wirft das Buch ein neues Licht auf die Wertesysteme und Meinungen der Katholiken. Die Autoren heben zentrale Probleme und Herausforderungen hervor, mit denen die Kirche derzeit bei der Anpassung an die moderne Welt konfrontiert ist, einschließlich des katholischen Antisemitismus, der religiösen und sexuellen Toleranz und der Meinungen zur Demokratie, und bieten gleichzeitig eine anthropologische Reflexion darüber, wie gut sich die Kirche an die Anforderungen einer offenen Gesellschaft anpasst oder nicht.

The Newcomer's Dictionary is an A to Z of words that explore aspects of relocating. Whether you have moved or are considering a move, this dictionary will help to identify and describe the experience of being a newcomer. Filtered through Joyce Agee's memories and illustrated by her sister, Ellen Agee, this book identifies the often hidden and complex feelings that can be experienced by newcomers - whether first-time, seasoned or expatriate - as they relocate to a new suburb, city or country. Now an Australian citizen, in writing this book Joyce has brought together the experiences of a nomadic expat with those of a newcomer child. She reflects on how her life has been impacted by the family's frequent moves while she was growing up. Books, television programs and films were to become an emotional lifeline for the two sisters, giving them a sense of stability and continuity when everything else around them was constantly changing. The Newcomer's Dictionary also explores how language, which evolves over time and across cultures, influences our perception of newcomers. It describes the newcomer identity, experiences and emotions - above all the feelings of being an outsider and the need to belong.

This work identifies people in or from the neighboring counties of Renfrewshire, Ayrshire, Dumfries-shire, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Wigtownshire between 1800 and 1850. South West Scotland originally contained about 150 parishes, some of which subsequently merged. The main burghs were Renfrew, Greenock, Largs, Kilmarnock, Paisley, Ardrossan, Troon, Ayr, Stranraer, Wigtown, Kirkcudbright, Sanquhar, Dumfries, and Annan. The information derives from a wide range of sources such as court records, contemporary newspapers and journals, monumental inscriptions, and documents found in archives. The entries bring together emigrants, their origins, and destination"""especially in North America, the West Indies, and Australasia"""with their kin who remained in Scotland. The south west regional economy was based on farming, fishing, mining, iron and steel manufacture, engineering, textiles, and it possessed trading links especially with Ireland and North America. Emigration from South West Scotland to Ulster was substantial in the 17th century, but by the 19th century the destination shifted increasingly to North America and Australasia. The best sources for historical context are the Old Statistical Reports of the 1790s and the New Statistical Reports compiled between 1832 and 1845. These Reports were produced by parish ministers and covered a wide range of subjects such as geography, education, history, the economy, agriculture, shipping, population, and religion. They are available on the website of the National Library of Scotland.

“Absolutely extraordinary...A landmark in the contemporary literature of the diaspora.” —Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror“If Concepcion were only about Samaha’s mother, it would already be wholly worthwhile. But she was one of eight children in the Concepcion family, whose ancestry Samaha traces in this. . . powerful book.” –The New York TimesA journalist's powerful and incisive account reframes how we comprehend the immigrant experienceNearing the age at which his mother had migrated to the US, part of the wave of non-Europeans who arrived after immigration quotas were relaxed in 1965, Albert Samaha began to question the ironclad belief in a better future that had inspired her family to uproot themselves from their birthplace. As she, her brother Spanky—a rising pop star back in Manila, now working as a luggage handler at San Francisco airport—and others of their generation struggled with setbacks amid mounting instability that seemed to keep prosperity ever out of reach, he wondered whether their decision to abandon a middle-class existence in the Philippines had been worth the cost.Tracing his family’s history through the region’s unique geopolitical roots in Spanish colonialism, American intervention, and Japanese occupation, Samaha fits their arc into the wider story of global migration as determined by chess moves among superpowers. Ambitious, intimate, and incisive, Concepcion explores what it might mean to reckon with the unjust legacy of imperialism, to live with contradiction and hope, to fight for the unrealized ideals of an inherited homeland.
