Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre évoque les migrations internationales qui affectèrent l’Amérique du nord et l’Europe du nord-ouest, entre le milieu du XIXe siècle et le milieu du XXe siècle. Tout en décrivant la cartographie des migrations et en faisant le point sur l’histoire des systèmes de contrôle, il accorde une large place à l’expérience des migrants et offre quelques beaux portraits d’hommes et de femmes en migration. Proposant au lecteur une synthèse claire d’une historiographie riche mais difficile d’accès, il rappelle l’ancienneté des migrations de masse dans les pays occidentaux, ainsi que ce que nos sociétés contemporaines doivent à des exodes parfois oubliés. Le Temps des migrations blanches nous projette dans un monde parfois étonnamment proche du nôtre. Traversé par des migrants transnationaux, il est le théâtre d’exils de masse, de gigantesques déplacements de main-d’oeuvre, que tentent de réguler des Etats confrontés à des pulsions xénophobes et racistes et à de violents soubresauts économiques et politiques. L’ouvrage incite alors tant à réfléchir à la genèse des systèmes migratoires contemporains et à celle de leur régulation, qu’à s’interroger sur ce que les migrations contemporaines ont de neuf et de spécifique. Ouvrage d’historien et mise au point historiographique, il entend par là contribuer à la compréhension du monde contemporain en mettant à mal quelques évidences, telle celle qui veut que les migrants blancs et européens des siècles passés furent bien accueillis par les sociétés qu’ils rejoignirent et y trouvèrent facilement leur place.

Download or read book The Atlas of Migration in Europe written by Migreurop and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the journeys of those fleeing war, poverty or political crises, risking their lives as they attempt to find sanctuary in Europe. Over the past 25 years, almost 40,000 migrants have been reported missing or died due to drowning or exhaustion on the borders of Europe. 6,000 migrants died in 2016 alone, making it the deadliest year on record. Growing numbers of arrivals since 2015 have caused a wave of panic to sweep across the countries of the European Union, which has responded with an increasingly entrenched policy – the only one it considers appropriate – of fortifying its external borders. As a result, numerous walls and fences have sprung up to "regulate the flows", new camps have been opened and reception centres have been set up beyond the frontiers of Europe, all accompanied by the steady militarisation of surveillance and repression. The EU has thus been just as active in precipitating this "migrant crisis" as it has been in prolonging its effects. Indeed, this crisis calls into question the entire European system for border management and policies on immigration and reception. Deconstructing preconceptions, changing the way we see others, probing borders and mapping the nexus of control and detention, the collection of articles, maps, photographs and illustrations in this Atlas provide an important critical geography of migration policies. Perfect for journalists, activists, students of geopolitics at school or university, this Atlas seeks, above all, to give migrants a voice.
Download or read book Towards Agricultural Change written by Pierre Jacquet, Rajendra K Pachauri, Laurence Tubiana and published by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI). This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Planet for Life 2012 focuses on agriculture and its relation to development, food and the environment. At the end of the 2000s, a consensus has emerged and points to the urgent need for massive investment in the agricultural sector, which is (once again) viewed as one of the prime engines for development and food security, as well as for poverty reduction. But what exactly does this consensus cover?While the idea of investing in agriculture is gaining ground and although several countries or regions appear to be offering opportunities for investment in agricultural land, debates are going on as to which agricultural models to choose and how agricultural policies should be implemented.A Planet for Life called on many highly specialized authors from different countries and perspectives, and invites the reader to discover the sector in all its complexity, upstream and downstream of agricultural production.At the crossroads of the challenges posed by development, food security and the environment, the transformation of the agricultural sector is at the heart of the global stakes of sustainable development. To help steer these changes towards greater sustainability, this book makes us aware of how crucial it is to also change our representations of agriculture, change the visions that guide projects for change and the policies regulating this sector.
Download or read book Child Migration and Biopolitics written by Beatrice Scutaru and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a fresh interdisciplinary analysis into the lives of migrant children and youth over the course of the twentieth century and up to the present day. Adopting biopolitics as a theoretical framework, the authors examine the complex interplay of structures, contexts and relations of power which influence the evolution of child migration across national borders. The volume also investigates children’s experiences, views, priorities and expectations and their roles as active agents in their own migration. Using a great variety of methodologies (archival research, ethnographic observation, interviews) and sources (drawings, documents produced by governments and experts, films and press), the authors provide richly documented case studies which cover a wide geographical area within Europe, both West (Belgium, France, Germany) and East (Romania, Russia, Ukraine), South (Italy, Portugal, Turkey) and North (Sweden), enabling a deep understanding of the diversity of migrant childhoods in the European context.
Download or read book Place and Locality in Modern France written by Philip Whalen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Place and Locality in Modern France analyses the significance and changing constructions of local place in modern France. Drawing on the expertise of a range of scholars from around the world, this book provides a timely overview of the cross-disciplinary thinking that is currently taking place over a central issue in French history. The contributed chapters address a range of subjects that include: the politics of administrative reform, decentralization, regionalism and local advocacy; the role of commerce in engendering narratives and experience of local place; the importance of ethnic, class, gender and race distinctions in shaping local connection and identity; the generation and transmission of knowledge about local place and culture through academia, civic heritage and popular memory. As a reconsideration of the 'local' in French history, Place and Locality in Modern France bridges the divide between micro- and macro-history for all those interested in ideas of locality and culture in modern French and European history.

Download or read book FOUNDATIONS OF BIOPOLITICS Race Ethno genopolitics Population Volume Migrations written by Jacques de Mahieu and published by Cariou Publishng. This book was released on 2023-08-28 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "biopolitics" had long been in use when it was brought into vogue in Academia by Michel Foucault to designate the liberal administration of health, hygiene, food, sexuality, the birth rate, etc., through various flexible and continuous measures such as insurance pressures, proposed hygiene rules, incentive policies, with a view to controlling individuals and populations. The French sociologist Jacques de Mahieu (1915–1990), who used it as early as in the 1950s, gives it a quite different meaning: "In the course of our research, we shall see that the ethnic problem, when it has been posed, has been too narrowly defined, or, to be more precise, that alongside the problem of races as such, there is a question of the same order, which is already hinted at in everyday language. We say of a human being, as we do of a horse, that it “has breeding”. This does not mean that he belongs to a particular ethnic group, but rather that he is distinguished by certain characters within his ethnic group. Once we have established that these characters are hereditary, we will have to admit, willingly or not, that within racial groups, there are categories of the same biopsychic nature as ethnic communities, in the true sense of the word. And once we have seen that these categories are of social importance, we will have to supplement ethnopolitics with genopolitics, and consider all hereditary processes, insofar as they play a part in the life of human communities. This is what biopolitics is all about." As a preamble to the presentation of genopolitics and ethnopolitics, a number of questions, which are also the subject of Julius Evola’s Elements of Racial Education, are addressed: the fact of race; the zoological concept of race; the fallacy of the "pure race"; heredity; the double effect of crossbreeding; mutation; heredity of acquired traits; hereditary memory; the action of the environment; the double effect of the environment; limits to environmental action; race creation. Ethnopolitics is about race classification; the melting-pot; the inequality of races; race and community polyethnic communities; racial specialisation in an organic society; slavery; segregation; race dialectics in a polyethnic community; dialectic of races in the world. Genopolitics studies biopsychology and social order; biopsychic social specialisation; the family, lineage; the social stratum, the origins of social stratification; hereditary differentiation and functional specialisation; natural selection; economic differentiation; backward selection; aristocracy and elites, etc. Population volume is about the demographic factor, population density, natural demographic balance, demographic composition, active and passive population, demographic pace, demographic pressure, living space, etc. Finally, the study of migrations involves examining emigration and immigration, their causes and consequences; biotypology of the emigrant; the process of assimilation; migration planning.
