The motivations of migrants for travelling to Europe vary, and the quality of the processes involved in their settlement and contribution to social and economic development are inextricably linked to their prospects of finding and sustaining good-quality work. This book explores the labour market integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers across seven European countries: the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. Using empirical data from the Horizon2020 SIRIUS Project, it investigates how legal, political, social and personal circumstances combine to determine the work trajectory for migrants who choose Europe as their home.

Taste the Sweetness Later: Two Muslim Women in America was informed by more than 200 hours of personal interviews, Author Connie Shoemaker shares the stories of two women living in the grip of murderous dictators. Nisren, a Kurdish Iraqi whose childhood is plagued by Saddam Hussein's "eyes that are watching" is married to an interpreter for the U.S. Army. She escapes to America with her family after anti-US factions threaten to kill her husband. Eman, a Libyan growing up in the shadow of madman Muammar Gaddafi, persists in her dream of higher education by fighting for a scholarship that will take her from her sheepherding family of 22 siblings to graduate study in the United States. Nisren grows up and marries in Baghdad, Iraq, haunted by Saddam Hussain's "eyes that are watching." As a Kurdish woman, she suffers the poverty that results from the dictator's numerous forays into war, UN sanctions, and restrictions against the Kurds. Soon after the U.S. invades Iraq, her husband Raad is becomes an interpreter for the US Army. As anti-U.S. sentiment develops after the invasion, Raad's twin brother, also an interpreter, is assassinated. The family is warned they are next, so they obtain a refugee visa to come to the United States. While her husband works to support the family, Nisren learns English, enrolls the children in school, and, in spite of depression and PTSD, discovers the strength to defend her choice to wear her native dress in the face of the rude gestures and shouts of "go home to your own country." US citizenship is awarded to the whole family just in time for Nisren and Raad to vote in the 2016 presidential election. Eman, a bright young Libyan woman, attacks all the obstacles that block the path to her goal of a scholarship to study in the United States. In spite of cultural restrictions on women and loyalty to her family, she persists with guidance from her grandmother's words: "Swallow it now, and taste the sweetness later." After a six-year struggle, marriage and a baby, the scholarship is awarded just at the time of the revolution against Dictator Muamar Gaddafi. Amidst bombs, air strikes and blockaded roads, Eman, husband Sami, and son Saif fly from Tripoli to the United States. In spite of economic hardship, Eman becomes fluent in English, gives birth to a second son, and conquers her lack of technology background to receive an M.S. in computer science. She has achieved her goals but does not want to take her family home to Libya until it is safe. Will it be possible for her to stay in America with a new US President who is tightening immigration restrictions?Nisren and Eman speak to readers in an intimate conversation encompassing values that all women share: relationships with their husbands, education to better their own and their children's lives, and the freedom to make individual choices. Sharing their stories is a step toward bridging the social and political chasm that divides America today. Just as ignorance of another person condemns us to the bondage of fear, knowledge frees us and makes us more able to function correctly. Nisren and Eman display the courage, determination, and unwavering hope that are essential to the true spirit of America. Their stories serve as inspiration for anyone who faces difficult and seemingly insurmountable hardships. The wisdom of Eman's sheepherding grandmother sums it up: "Swallow it now, and you will taste the sweetness later."Taste the Sweetness also includes The women's stories are set against the backdrop of historical and cultural information. Bonus: Discussion Questions to stimulate conversation about immigration issues.

I write because the struggles of immigration grieve me in a personal way, a way that for a long time divided my family to near disrepair. Despite this, I believe my very conservative Christian, Indian parents attempted to understand why this American-born Indian girl had to do things a bit differently than what they had planned. And what I wanted was exactly the opposite of what had been customary for thousands of years. I, a female, wanted to make my own life choices.Often, the shame related to making independent, very "American" decisions has led to heartbreaking consequences in some families and particularly for females. These endings are often preceded by children of immigrants desiring to adapt to American society while balancing Indian roots. These endings are also preceded by parents quickly becoming disillusioned as they begin to see the land of milk and honey for what it really is. Sometimes, it doesn't receive families with open arms or flowing vats of opportunity. It is a place that takes far more than it can ever offer - hopes, time, a longing for family back home, culture and many, many tears. But above all things, it wants their children the most.

Translation of: Once I was you: a memoir of love and hate in a torn America.

This book is inspired by my personal experience of living in the United states of America (commonly referred to as America, and/or USA) as a legal immigrant from Nigeria. This book basically is a guide to living in America, written by an "experienced" immigrant to a "newcomer" or "rookie" immigrant. the book gives you a comprehensive basic knowledge of America, and of living in America. By the time you are done with this book, you would have learned some basic but very important things about America and found some new confidence living in your new country.This book serves a guide to people coming to America as immigrants (permanent residents), and non-immigrants planning to stay for an extended period, for example, students. It can also be utilized by illegal immigrants, (I probably shouldn't say that, but it's true, that's the reality we live in now), however the target audience for this guide are legal immigrants to the USA. In addition, this guide would make an interesting read for other "experienced" immigrants, green card holders, and to all citizens of the USA.When I came to the USA, now my home, nobody gave me a comprehensive guide, I wish I had some guidance. What I had were tit bits, hearsays, myths, half-hearted advices, and basically had to live and learn from experience (which is the best teacher). Failing, falling, making mistakes, picking myself up, correcting myself, and through self-motivation, and self-education, now I am "soaring on wings like the eagle". Glory to God Almighty! Can I just say here, that falling, or failing is not a problem; it is what you do after falling that may result into a problem or result into a sure path toward success. Word!!This book (or guide) reflects my personality; down to earth, humble, no hype, straight shooting, honest, humorous, bold, and full of courage, among other winning qualities. Lol. The contents of this book are sincere, and I don't wish you to make mistakes others made (including my humble self) and trust me they can be costly. You don't have to make these same mistakes, so my sincere wish is that the contents of this book will help jump start your new life in America, and help you make the right decisions, the first time, all the time. In essence hit the ground running.

Our Borders, Ourselves details the fraud foisted upon the American people in the name of diversity. Published posthumously, Our Borders explains how the Immigration Act of 1965 led to the erasing of white America and the nihilist culture we live in today.

Den skandinaviske udvandring til Sydafrika i slutningen af 1800-tallet skyldtes de store guld- og diamantfund i boerstaterne Transvaal og Oranje Fristaten. Men mange danskere og skandinaver kom i klemme i det, der udviklede sig til Den Anden Boerkrig 1899-1902. En krig mellem det mægtige britiske imperium og de to små boenstater.I krig under Sydkorset afdækker et vigtigt og næsten ukendt område af den danske og fælles skandinaviske udvandringshistorie og kaster lys over de skandinaver, som på forskellig vis befandt sig på boerstaternes side. Enten i direkte væbnet kamp mod den britiske kolonimagt eller i politi- og ambulancetjeneste. Flere af disse skandinaver blev som krigsfanger senere deporteret til fjerntliggende fangelejre. Andre skandinaver blev interneret i briternes berygtede koncentrationslejre. Bogen kaster lys over disse udvandrerskæbners dramatiske og turbulente historie.I dag står Det Skandinaviske Monument fra 1908 og det bemærkelsesværdige Skandinaviske Gravmonument fra 1927 ved slagmarken Magersfontein og vidner om den danske, svenske, norske og finske indsats i den proces, som Afrikas sydligste nation er rundet af.Peter Agerbo Jensen (f. 1974) er cand.mag. i historie og samfundsfag. Han har været gymnasielærer, konsulent på Christiansborg og uddannelsesansvarlig. Peter Agerbo Jensen har skrevet artikler og boganmeldelser om kulturhistoriske emner samt uddannelse. I krig under Sydkorset er hans første bog.

"The movement of people--what Americans call 'immigration' and the rest of the world calls 'migration'--is among the defining issues of our time. Technology and information crosses countries and continents at blistering speed. Corporations thrive on being multinational and polyglot. Yet the world's estimated 244 million total migrant population, particularly those deemed 'illegal' by countries and societies, are locked in a chaotic and circular debate about borders and documents, assimilation and identity. An issue about movement seems immovable: politically, culturally and personally. Dear America: Notes Of An Undocumented Citizen is an urgent, provocative and deeply personal account from Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who happens to be the most well-known undocumented immigrant in the United States. Born in the Philippines and brought to the U.S. illegally as a 12-year-old, Vargas hid in plain-sight for years, writing for some of the most prestigious news organizations in the country (The Washington Post, The New Yorker) while lying about where he came from and how he got here. After publicly admitting his undocumented status--risking his career and personal safety--Vargas has challenged the definition of what it means to be an American, and has advocated for the human rights of immigrants and migrants during the largest global movement of people in modern history. Both a letter to America and a window into Vargas's America, this book is a transformative argument about migration and citizenship, and an intimate, searing exploration on what it means to be home when the country you call your home doesn't consider you one of its own"--

Integration and New Limits on Citizenship Rights is a state-centered analysis of citizenship, immigration and social identity. It explores the increasing role of nation states as critical actors in using social policy to affect the social location of immigrants and ethnics and also to redefine what it means to be a full citizen.

Leading migration researcher Louise Ryan's topical and intersectional book provides rich insights into migrants' social networks. It draws on more than 200 interviews with migrants who followed various transnational routes in every decade since the 1940s, in order to build valuable longitudinal perspectives and comparisons. With a particular focus on London, it charts how social networks are formed and sustained, how trust is developed and how social support is accessed, and explores the key opportunities and obstacles that migrants encounter. This is a seminal fusion of migration studies and social network analysis that casts new light on both subjects, essential for those interested in immigration, ethnicity, diversity and inequalities.
