Book excerpt: This is a collection of self-selected papers presented at The Migration Conference 2021 London.

As usual we have invited participants to submit 2000 words papers for the proceedings book and this volume brings you these papers. Topics covered in the volume includes gender, education, mass movements, refugees, religion, identity, migration policy, culture, diplomacy, remittances, climate, water, environment and pretty much everything about migration. Most of the papers are in English, but there are some in French, Spanish and Turkish too. This is a great book for those who want short accounts on all aspects of migration and refugees.

Book Of Myths and Migration

Download or read book Of Myths and Migration written by Hussein Solomon and published by Unisa Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa and immigration is debated in the entire Southern African region, and in wider debates on global migratory trends. This study engages with some strands of this topic, for example South Africa's international legal obligations to immigrants, and its moral obligations to the Southern African countries given the impact of the apartheid regime on the region. It considers the tremendous pressure exerted on South Africa as a relatively prosperous country in a region beset with the kinds of socio-economic conditions and instabilities likely to generate economic migrancy and refugees; and sets this against the reality of the country's capacity and limitations to absorb more people, given its own economic problems. It further discusses how to distinguish between 'illegal' immigrants and refugees, and advises on the role of the South African state and stances it should adopt to manage these phenomena effectively.

Book Visual Methodology in Migration Studies

Download or read book Visual Methodology in Migration Studies written by Karolina Nikielska-Sekula and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores the use of visual methods in migration studies through a combination of theoretical analyses and empirical studies. The first section looks at how various visual methods, including photography, film, and mental maps, may be used to analyse the spatial presence of migrants. The second section addresses the processual building of narratives around migration, thereby using formats such as film and visual essay, and reflecting upon the ways they become carriers and mediators of both story and theory within the subject of migration. Section three focuses on vulnerable communities and discusses how visual methods can empower these communities, thereby also focusing on the theoretical and ethical implications of migration. The fourth section addresses the issue of migrant representation in visual discourses. Based on these contributions, a concluding methodological chapter systematizes the use of visual methods in migration studies across disciplines, with regard to their empirical, theoretical, and ethical implications. Multidisciplinary in character, this book is an interesting read for students and migration scholars who engage with visual methodologies, as well as practitioners, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, curators of exhibitions who address the topic of migration visually.

Book Young Migrants Crossing Multiple Borders to the North

Download or read book Young Migrants Crossing Multiple Borders to the North written by Ana Vila-Freyer and published by Transnational Press London. This book was released on 2021-11-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our focus on youth migration aims to unfold the theoretical and political constraints at play for these young migrants as they defy borders and national boundaries on their northbound journey. By placing the emphasis on young persons, this volume seeks to ponder on the challenges their movement is positing to governments and societies of the countries they are crossing by or settling in. Our goal is to go outside the perspectives constructed from a labor, adult-centered, breadwinner and family-head perspective. We recognize that the conditions that force them to flee uncertain economic conditions or to seek personal security may intersect, but by focusing on young migrants as actors in search of a decent and fair life, as well as on the hopes and resilience that every young person has, the point of view diverges. As they may be permanent or transit sojourners in local communities, we also propose to include the spaces, as the social and political communities reacts to this youth mobility. The chapters contained herein follow the migrant’s movement from South to North. Therefore, the authors focused on the analysis of several emerging issues in the migration dynamics in North America.

Book Experiencing Ruptures in Migration     The Ordinary and Unexpected Journeys of Global Migrants

Download or read book Experiencing Ruptures in Migration The Ordinary and Unexpected Journeys of Global Migrants written by Delphine Mercier and published by Transnational Press London. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to portray migratory experiences, documented in the form of biographical narratives. We are interested in the dynamic aspect of migration, which effectively becomes a complex trajectory, made up of stages, returns, and circulations and no longer simply, as in the industrial era, a bipolar exile (there and here). In these complex and dynamic movements, many trajectories become bifurcations, by which we mean shifting fates. In these stories we found paths, events, and bifurcations, all combined together, in terms of biographical construction based on accumulated experiences. These narratives are both very banal and very unusual journeys, portraying a new international human globalization. They are simultaneously stories of barriers to be crossed in chaotic situations interspersed with peaceful events in quiet contexts. These journeys reveal not only the weight of migration policies, but also the certification policies implemented and developed by various countries. This book presents itineraries, social logics of mobility; the routes become the analysts. If statistics record regularities, the personal approach captures specificities that produce meaning and contribute to a reinterpretation of current forms of mobility. “The superb collection of ethnographies that the reader will find in the pages to follow provide yet further insight into the ways in which movement across state borders represents a creative accomplishment. With cases selected from around the world – the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America, North America, and Europe – the chapter in this book demonstrate that migration is undertaken not only against states and their bureaucracies, but in tension with and possibly in opposition to migrants’ closest associates – precisely the people whom social capital theory paints as the font of the resources that make migration possible. ” – Roger Waldinger, University of California Los Angeles, USA Contents Foreword – Roger Waldinger Introduction – Víctor Zúñiga, Kamel Doraï, Delphine Mercier, and Michel Peraldi Part One: Migrant Families and Their Re-configuration Chinese Migrant Women Creating Meaningful Lives Despite Vulnerable Statuses – Hélène Le Bail Conflict and Migration from Iraq: Building a Life in Exile Amid the Twists and Turns of a Dramatic History – Cyril Roussel From Family Dispersion to Asylum-Seeking: Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon and Syria – Kamel Doraï Part Two: Children’s Movements Across Borders A left-behind child from El Alto.
