Download or read book Youth Transitions among Descendants of Turkish Immigrants in Amsterdam and Strasbourg written by Elif Keskiner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book maps the youth transitions of descendants of migrants from Turkey living in Amsterdam and Strasbourg, through a comparative mixed-methods research design. As such, it is of interest to discussions in youth sociology, social mobility and second-generation research. The book follows transition trajectories of the second-generation, from school to activity or inactivity in the labour market, to marriage or further study and, deepens our understanding of transitions by unravelling the macro and micro mechanisms behind individual pathways. On the one hand, the author reveals the ongoing significance of distinct macro institutional settings as well as social structures such as social class, ethnicity and gender in shaping the youth transition experience. On the other, she shows that youth transitions are not predestined to social reproduction when institutional and social structures create conditions for the development of resources necessary for social mobility. Therefore, through an examination of how immigrants’ descendants develop forms of capital in their social trajectories, in relation to institutional and social structures, the book advances the theoretical discussion on Bourdieu’s capital theory. Moreover, in times when native-born descendants of immigrants are at the forefront of public debate being subjected to normative integration demands, the book significantly shifts the lens and draws our attention to the daily challenges and realities faced by ethnic minority youth.
Download or read book Trajectories and Origins Survey on the Diversity of the French Population written by Cris Beauchemin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the main findings of a ground-breaking survey on immigrants and the second generation in France. The data, collected from more than 20, 000 persons representative of the population living in France, offer invaluable insights into the trajectories and experience of ethnic minorities. The book explains how France has been an immigrant-receiving country for over a century and how it is now a multicultural society with an unprecedented level of origin diversity. While immigrants and their descendants are targets of clichés and stereotyping, this book provides unique quantitative findings on their situation in all areas of personal and working life. Is origin in itself a factor of inequality? With its detailed reconstitutions of educational, occupational and conjugal trajectories and its exploration of access to housing and health, this book provides multiple approaches to answering this question. One of the work’s major contributions is to combine objective and subjective measures of discrimination: this is the first study in France to focus on racism as experienced by those subjected to it, while opening up new methodological perspectives on the experience of prejudice by origin, religion, and skin colour.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1981. Immigrant children often have significant ethnic, linguistic and cultural differences from children of the host country and require special teaching arrangements. This book is a country-by-country survey of this problem. Each chapter begins by examining the general background to the problem, outlining the nature and extent of immigration in the country in question, and portraying the relationships between immigrant groups and the indigenous population. Each chapter then considers how children’s academic performance, social relations, self-esteem and academic and vocational expectations are affected by their immigrant status, and concludes by describing and analysing the special educational programmes adopted to help immigrant children.

Seamlessly integrating findings of national reviews, the editors and contributors analyse how national contexts of race/ethnic relations shape the character and content of educational inequalities, and deftly map out new directions for future research in the area. Global in its perspective and definitive in content, this one-stop volume will be an indispensable reference resource for a wide range of academics, students and researchers in the fields of education, sociology, race and ethnicity studies and social policy.

Download or read book Mon p re ce h ros Petite histoire de l Immigration Portugaise written by Luis Coixao and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mon père, dans un lit d'Hôpital, quelques mois avant de mourir, ici en France, m'a raconté sa traversée de la frontière entre le Portugal et l'Espagne. Son émigration clandestine vers la France. A partir de cette petite histoire très émouvante, et en m'appuyant sur des éléments historiques et autobiographiques, j'ai voulu écrire notre épopée familiale, décrire la vie à Freixo de Numão, un petit village du nord du Portugal, dans les années 60 avant que mon père ne parte "a salto", son arrivée dans l'un des plus grands bidonvilles portugais de France, celui du Franc-Moisin à Saint-Denis, l'émigration clandestine de sa femme et de ses enfants, et les trois années pendant lesquelles nous avons habité ces baraques d'infortune. A travers ce récit, j'ai voulu refaire une nouvelle fois cette traversée clandestine des deux frontières qui a bouleversé le destin de centaines de milliers de personnes, ce voyage sans fin qui m'obsède depuis l'enfance, entre le rêve et la réalité, entre le Portugal et la France.

Download or read book Situating Children of Migrants across Borders and Origins written by Claudio Bolzman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access wide-ranging collation of papers examines a host of issues in studying second-generation immigrants, their life courses, and their relations with older generations. Tightly focused on methodological aspects, both quantitative and qualitative, the volume features the work of authors from numerous countries, from differing disciplines, and approaches. A key addition in a corpus of literature which has until now been restricted to studying the childhood, adolescence and youth of the children of immigrants, the material includes analysis of longitudinal and transnational efforts to address challenges such as defining the population to be studied, and the difficulties of follow-up research that spans both time and geographic space. In addition to perceptive reviews of extant literature, chapters also detail work in surveying the children of immigrants in Europe, the USA, and elsewhere. Authors address key questions such as the complexities of surveying each generation in families where parents have migrated and left children in their country of origin, and the epistemological advances in methodology which now challenge assumptions based on the Westphalian nation-state paradigm. The book is in part an outgrowth of temporal factors (immigrants’ children are now reaching adulthood in more significant numbers), but also reflects the added sophistication and sensitivity of social science surveys. In linking theoretical and methodological factors, it shows just how much the study of these second generations, and their families, can be enriched by evolving methodologies.This book is open access under a CC BY license

The chapters examine the influence of different education systems, migration status, race and ethnicity, social class, gender, and resilience on the success of transitions to higher education and the labour market.

Policymakers will find this book useful in informing policy development in education and the labour market.
