The Muhajir Qaumi Movement (MQM), propelled by ethnic violence and led by university students with lower-middle-class backgrounds, transformed the cities of the southern Pakistani province of Sindh into an ethnic majoritarian stronghold at the unlikely height of a military dictatorship. The more novelaspect of the MQM's platform was it demand for the recognition of Muhajirs as a separate, 'oppressed nationality' within Pakistan. Questioning Migrants is a granular historical and ethographic study of the MQM's capacity to think beyond the exlusivism of Muhajir nationalism toward its contingency and toward a more plural and subaltern framing of the universal. It speaks to significant themes in Pakistan Studies: the legacies of Partition, the rise of the martial state, and the dynamics of urbanization and democracy.

Atal, Mojib Rahman, Institutional Violence against Afghan Refugees: An Analysis of Violence in Institutions in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden from A Comparative Perspective. 184 pp. 2024:10 (Springer VS, GW) <736-973>
ISBN 978-3-658-46369-4 paper ¥23,536.- (税込) EUR 99.99

The long-lasting political instability in Afghanistan since the Soviet Union invasion in 1979 has displaced millions of Afghans, both internally and internationally. Despite their growing numbers, the challenges that Afghan refugees encounter in public institutions and everyday interaction with members of their host countries have remained largely uninvestigated. This research thus explores perceived institutional violence against Afghan refugees in Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The semi-structured interviews provide evidence on the occurrence of perceived verbal violence, and differential and poor treatment in institutions. The quantitative analysis lends empirical evidence to the extent, factors, grounds, and consequences of institutional verbal violence, institutional failure, everyday discrimination, and sense of belonging. Permanent residence, school education, age, having children, country of residence, citizenship, and employment were identified as factors significantly affecting the experiences and perceptions of respondents. Respondents reported negative experiences mostly in institutions that often deal with migration and asylum matters. Legal status, ethnic origin, religion, unemployment, appearance, and lower language proficiency seem to be the main grounds for institutional violence.

Baumel-Schwartz, Judith Tydor, The Next Generation: A Jewish Immigrant's Granddaughter and Her Life in Late 20th and Early 21st Century America and Israel. 234 pp. 2024:7 (P. Lang, SZ) <736-974>

"The Next Generation" tells the story of a unique group: the American-born granddaughters of early 20th century Jewish immigrants to the United States who were also children of Holocaust survivors, and particularly those who later moved to Israel. Through an examination of her own life and experiences, the author presents it as a case study of this group, and sheds light on how the combination of being both the "next generation" and the "Second Generation" ? children of Holocaust survivors ? and moving to Israel, affected their lives.

Woodson, Hue, The Black Marxist Feminism of bell hooks: Towards an Intersectional Theory of White-Supremacist Capitalist Patriarchy. (Marx, Engels, and Marxisms) 492 pp. 2025:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-766>
ISBN 978-3-031-74696-3 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book explores bell hooks' trajectory of work and cohesiveness of thought about the meaning and meaningfulness of black womanhood in terms of a Black Marxist feminism, which uniquely confronts the dimensions of feminism and womanism; the relations between the secular and the religious; the problems of gender and sexism; and the structural and systemic issues of oppression, domination, white supremacy, and capitalism. In making sense of black womanhood in its philosophical, social, cultural, institutional, and historical complexities, hooks' Black Marxist feminism constructs an intersectional theory about what hooks describes as white supremacist capitalist patriarchy. In this sense, hooks' Black Marxist feminism conceptualizes the ways and means by which white supremacist capitalist patriarchy imposes intersectional predicaments upon black womanhood, drawing foundationally on Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels, working within the purview of a host of Marxisms in Antonio Gramsci, Louis Althusser, Karl Kautsky, Nikolai Bukharin, and Georgi Plekhanov, and speaking to the Marxist proclivities of Cedric Robinson, Cornel West, Charles W. Mills, James H. Cone, Stuart Hall, and Angela Y. Davis.

Caballero-Velez, Diego / Roberts, James C. (eds.), International Migration Governance and Public Goods. (Mobility & Politics) 135 pp. 2025:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-775>
ISBN 978-3-031-74465-5 hard ¥9,412.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This edited volume will take an expansive view of the "publicness" of both the policies and the effects related to migration, immigration, and refugees. It will include examinations of international systemic factors and local economic factors. Because migration governance varies geographically, the book will be organized by region. It will include chapters on Africa; Australia; New Zealand and the Pacific Islands; Europe; North America; and SouthAmerica. The book will be focused on how public goods theory provides deep understanding of the factors that affect migration governance and on how understanding the public goods nature of migration governance can help develop effective policies for addressing these problems.

Magazzini, Tina / Eleftheriadou, M. / Triandafyllidou, A., The Non-radicalisation of Muslims in Southern Europe: Migration and Integration in Italy, Greece, and Spain. (Rethinking Political Violence) 124 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-823>
ISBN 978-3-031-71995-0 hard ¥9,412.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This open access book explains why southern European countries with significant Muslim communities have experienced few religiously inspired violent attacks - or have avoided the kind of securitised response to such attacks seen in many other Western states. The authors provide a unique contribution to the literature on violent extremism - which has traditionally focused on countries such as France, the US and the UK - by studying the causes of relatively low rates of radicalisation in Greece, Italy and Spain. The book explores many of the dynamics between (non) radicalisation and issues such as socioeconomic inequality, experiences of conflict, and systemic racism and other forms of discrimination. It establishes a new analytical framework for the development of, and resilience against, violent radicalisation in the region and beyond.

Tasis Moratinos, Eduardo / Chang, Ti-han et al. (eds.), A Transdisciplinary Study of Global Mobilities: Identities on the Move. 296 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-856>
ISBN 978-3-031-74538-6 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

Identities on the Move interrogates the categories given and adopted by people on the move through a transdisciplinary and global approach that includes social and political sciences and the arts. It brings together experiences of displacement from a variety of cultural and national backgrounds, including Brazilians, Chinese, Koreans, South Italians, Africans, Muslims, Arabophobe migrants, Iranians, Pakistanis, Bosnians, Latin Americans and Eastern Europeans. It looks at their identity-negotiating processes in different geographies across the globe, namely Japan, UK, Palestine, Italy, Australia, Europe and North America. This multi-geographical and multi-disciplinary approach allows us to decentralise previous narratives of migration by reformulating them against coloniality and invisibility and presenting them within a richer and changing contemporary map of dynamic identities. The global scale of the case studies included in this volume also allows for a wider exploration of thematic concepts within the (trans)formation of displaced identities, such as assimilation versus alienation, memory and trauma, stigmatisation, enculturation, acculturation and deculturation. In a nutshell, this volume highlights current complexities of identity formation in a global scene that is moving away from homogenous nations by presenting a multi-layered and multi-spatial notion of belonging.

ISBN 978-3-031-74865-3 hard ¥11,766.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This open access book provides a state-of-the-field of the interactions between emerging national asylum governance systems and the 2018 United Nations Global Compact for Refugees (UN GCR). It provides a detailed examination of the relationship and compatibility between asylum governance and refugee protection and human rights, and the responsibilities for states and other implementing actors in cases of human rights violations. This book analyses the characteristics and impacts of existing and emerging asylum governance instruments and their practical implementation in selected countries hosting large communities of refugees around the world. Particular focus is given to the cases of Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Jordan, Niger, Serbia, South Africa and Turkey. Attention is put into regional and country-specific asylum instruments and actors from the perspective of their effectiveness, fairness and consistency with refugee protection and human rights standards as well as the UN GCR commitments. By doing so, the book identifies key lessons learned and offers a critical view on policies framed as `promising practices' so as to inform future steps in the UN GCR implementation and asylum governance more generally. As such, the book provides a better understanding of the concept of "mobility" in asylum governance, and the ways in which it is articulated into legal and policy instruments framed as "protection" and - in the language of the UN GCR - "third country solutions" for refugee mobility, including resettlement, private/community sponsorships, humanitarian corridors, in the European Union and around the world.

Chowdhury, Jahid Siraz / Vadevelu, Kumarashwaran et al., The Intersection of Faith, Culture, and Indigenous Community in Malaysia and Bangladesh. (SpringerBriefs in Social Work and Social Change) 118 pp. 2024:12 (Springer, GW) <736-939>
ISBN 978-3-031-74299-6 paper ¥11,766.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This book is a comprehensive study of the intersection of religion, Indigenous culture, and community life, featuring an in-depth examination of the Orang Asli in Malaysia and the Santals in Bangladesh that aims for a socially inclusive, harmonious, and peaceful society. It dives into the impact of conversion on Indigenous identities, employing extensive ethnographic and phenomenological methodologies. The authors explore the conversion process attentively, revealing hidden isolation. This compact volume offers intriguing insights into Southeast and South Asia's rich tapestry, including nuance to discussions concerning religious pluralism, human rights, and the pursuit of social justice. Readers gain a better understanding of varied religious communities and Indigenous perspectives in order to promote a more inclusive and fair society. In the book, the authors provide real-life experiences, extensive analysis, and practical solutions for Indigenous populations in Malaysia and Bangladesh. They blend together thoughts and narratives, encompassing sociopolitical and historical themes. With visuals, case studies, and varied views, the volume builds respect for global variety while driving societal inclusion with the spirit of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The Intersection of Faith, Culture, and Indigenous Community in Malaysia and Bangladesh addresses pressing social justice and human rights issues, pushing for rights-based society and diversity, while balancing academic rigor and accessibility. The book is intended for scholars and researchers interested in Indigenous peoples, religious conversion, social justice, and human rights. It offers detailed insights into the conversion experiences of Malaysian Orang Asli and Bangladeshi Santal groups, and provides commentary on civil freedoms following conversion and reveals complex views of these communities, making the volume useful for scholars researching intersectionality in religious conversions and the dynamics surrounding Indigenous populations. Policymakers in Malaysia, Bangladesh, and other Asian countries dealing with comparable concerns with converted Indigenous people might benefit from the book's evidence-based insights and challenges, promoting more inclusive and culturally sensitive policies and urging Malaysian and Bangladeshi governments to recognize conversion-related issues.

Rosenberg, Shoshana, Zipporah, Queen of the Desert: Living as Queer and Trans Jews in Australia. (Counterpoints 553) 168 pp. 2024:7 (P. Lang, SZ) <736-949>
ISBN 978-1-63667-640-1 paper ¥10,533.- (税込) SFR 42.00

This book delves into the lived experiences of queer and trans Jewish people living in so-called Australia. The volume weaves interviews, personal stories, and political analysis together to form a work which explores how queerness, transness, and Jewishness interplay in the context of living in the modern-day colony. Through discussions of Zionism, queer liberation, and community-making, the book provides insight into the historical and contemporary relationships queer and trans Jews have to ourselves, each other, the nation-state, and the world. In typical Jewish fashion, Zipporah is less about answers than it is about questions: how do we live a Jewish life queerly or a queer life Jewishly? What role do queer and trans Jews play in the tapestry of personal, national, and international politics? And perhaps most importantly, what can queer and trans Jewish experiences in Australia tell us about how we move forward in solidarity with our own communities and those who share in our struggles?

Klakla, Jan Bazyli, Law and Acculturation: Conceptualisation and Empirical Case Study: Slavic Migrants in Poland. 434 pp. 2025:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-497>
ISBN 978-3-031-72458-9 hard ¥37,660.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book is one of the first attempts to directly explore the relationship between law and acculturation. By exploring the theoretical basis of the concept of culture, the ideas of law and various models of acculturation, it brings a nuanced theorization and problematization of the intricate connection between law and acculturation. It does this through theory and then presents the findings of the author's qualitative empirical study conducted with a group of long-term Slavic migrants residing in Poland. The book culminates by demonstrating how the law can be integrated into one of the theoretical models of acculturation, specifically the Relative Acculturation Extended Model.

人種主義と「言論の自由」
Mondal, Anshuman A., Racism and 'Free Speech'. 264 pp. 2025:1 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <736-543>

'Free speech' has become central to discussions about racism, and is increasingly weaponised against anti-racist movements. This book argues that the weaponization of 'free speech' across the political spectrum, particularly by the far-right/alt-right, has been central to the resurgence, rehabilitation and normalisation of racism within the mainstream politics of western liberal democracies in the last decade. The dilemma then, for anti-racist movements, is how to respond to such a challenge - for if 'free speech' allows racism, then it follows that the elimination of racism is not possible. Anshuman A. Mondal argues that liberalism has made it look as if there is something called 'free speech' when, in fact, speech is enabled by the structures of power within which we are all embedded. These structures determine who gets to say what, and whose voices are heard. They create and sustain racism, and anti-racism should look beyond the mythology of 'free speech' and focus instead on creating expressive regimes that foster racial and social justice by reshaping social discourse and transforming racialized structures of power.

EU移民政策と欧州委員会の役割
Carrera, Sergio / Colombi, Davide, Irregularising Human Mobility: EU Migration Policies and the European Commission's Role. (SpringerBriefs in Law) 91 pp. 2024:12 (Springer, GW) <736-548>
ISBN 978-3-031-74020-6 paper ¥11,766.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This is an open access book. What is the history and current state of play of EU law and policy covering irregularised human mobility? What has been the role and contributions of the 2019-2024 European Commission as regards EU migration policy? This book investigates how migration policies have been problematised at the EU institutional level, in particular by the European Commission. It critically assesses the assumptions lying behind the Commission's political priorities, agendas and policy outputs. Through the concept of irregularity assemblages, the book examines how EU policy professionals and bureaucracies in the relevant Commission services problematise their respective mandates/portfolios; how they interact with each other and even compete; and how they frame certain forms of human mobility as being an 'irregular migration problem' or not. After retracing key historical developments in the framing of irregularised human mobilities at the EU level, the book identifies six policy approaches in the work and structures of the 2019-2024 European Commission. It finds that a home affairs and criminalisation approach that prioritises a law enforcement understanding of cross-border and intra-EU mobility, and pursuing a Ministry of Interior-like agenda, has prevailed. This approach stands at odds with human dignity and other legitimate public policy approaches, such as those giving priority to employment and social inclusion, non-discrimination, and fundamental rights, where the administrative migration status of the individual is not the entry point. The overriding priority driving EU migration policy has been the expulsion, policing and criminalisation of people framed or categorised as 'irregular migrants'. The analysis shows how Commission has failed to effectively perform its role as guardian of the Treaties and unequivocally enforce and comply with EU Treaty constitutive values, EU law and Better Regulation commitments in migration policies.

ISBN 978-0-7556-5015-6 hard ¥24,310.- (税込) GB￡ 85.00

The eBook editions of this book are available as open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Sciences Po.The Arab region has played an oversized role in hosting refugees. Yet a paucity of literature exists on how the region has contributed to shaping the international refugee regime. This anthology presents the first comprehensive study of how Arab states interact with the international refugee regime. It offers a multidisciplinary perspective bringing together historical, political, legal, sociological, and anthropological approaches. Through a wide range of case studies, the anthology explores how Arab states have created norms and practices of refugee governance beyond - and not necessarily aligned with - international refugee law. It also analyses how Arab states have negotiated and contested international agreements and processes. In doing so, the book 'de-exceptionalizes' the Arab region, positioning states and societies as norm shapers with an impact on global politics beyond the Arab world.

Odih, Pamela, Black British Postcolonial Feminist Ways of Seeing Human Rights. 349 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-552>
ISBN 978-3-031-71876-2 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book traces the feminine soul of Afrobeat from tumultuous colonial (her)stories through to the vibrant heterotopias of the urban spaces and times of Black British youths of African racial heritage. Communicative action is a human right, as per the portents of the United Nations in its 1948 declaration, which recognises the human right to communication. Borne from the cultural political struggles against persistent coloniality in post-independence Nigeria, Afrobeat is communicative action. Afrobeat is the music of Nigerian dissent, that has become the music of an African diaspora. Unique in its way of seeing intergenerational decolonial diaspora studies through the refracted prism of Nigerian Afrobeat, this book's extensive empirical and theoretical basis is directed toward the question: How to be Black British born in a country that colonised our maternal ancestors? It will be of interest to scholars and students in gender studies, African studies, decolonial studies, sociology, and media studies.

Heffernan, William C., Social Justice/Criminal Justice: Race and Class in the Administration of Criminal Law. 148 pp. 2025:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-608>
ISBN 978-3-031-75396-1 hard ¥9,412.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book builds on Heffernan's last book Rights and Wrongs: Rethinking the Foundations of Criminal Justice by examining the class and racial disparities at the heart of current law - disparities that, according to many, generate a system of criminal injustice. It argues that these disparities run throughout the legal system; they're present in policing, corrections, and sentencing. It discusses the relationship between the two kinds of justice - social justice and criminal justice and how to ensure fairness in state-imposed punishment. It theorises the extent to which criminal law must address considerations of social justice to ensure a fair system. It proposes a framework for analyzing disparities, provides an overview of contemporary research concerning them, and offers reform proposals for addressing them. Written in an accessible way, it introduces readers to philosophical theory and doctrines in constitutional law and thus it speaks to a wide audience concerned about racial and class disparities in the criminal justice system. It responds to a half-century's worth of public concern about the legitimacy of the state's exercise of its penal power while explaining the pertinence of social justice principles to the criminal justice system.

Huhta, Helena, Ethnicity, Race and the Prisoner Community: Shaping Meanings in Finnish Male Prisons. (Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology) 315 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-610>
ISBN 978-3-031-54989-2 hard ¥28,244.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book draws on an in-depth ethnographic study to explore the meanings and consequences of race and ethnicity in daily life within two Finnish male prisons. Set within the context of Finnish immigration, it provides an excellent backdrop for studying social processes in the prison environment launched by a rapid growth in the number of foreign national prisoners. It builds on the sociological attempts to comprehend the nature of the prisoner community from the perspective of ethnicity and race which has gained attention since the 2000s. It explores how ethnic categories are formed in the prison space, prisoner hierarchy and its logics, conflicts and conflict-solving, discrimination and prison officers and development of distinctive prisoner cultures. The study captures the consequences that signifying ethnicity and race have on daily practices, equality, and safety in prison. This book shows how ethnic and racial categories are formed in social action and further, how their meanings are in a constant process of change.

Lisbon, April J. / Jones, Charemi A. / Williams, Richard D., The Narrative of the Black Incarcerated Man: Mass Incarceration, Prison Reform, and Rehabilitation. (SpringerBriefs in Offending Populations & Correctional Psychotherapy) 50 pp. 2025:1 (Springer, GW) <736-615>
ISBN 978-3-031-73837-1 paper ¥10,589.- (税込) EUR 44.99

This book examines the criminalization of Black men and the need for penal system reform that allows for their mental, physical, financial, and emotional rehabilitation. Told through the lens of a former US Air Force veteran facing a history of trauma throughout childhood and into adulthood, it portrays widespread experiences Black males face as early as preschool, including unwarranted criminalization, psychiatric hospitalizations, and eventual incarceration. Ideal for practitioners working with Black men in schools, detention facilities, and within social advocacy groups, this book provides recommendations on how to change the narrative of incarcerated Black males in America to help them survive and thrive outside of prison.

Gyasi, Charles, Mission, Migration, and Integration: Perspectives on African Pentecostals Response to African Refugees in a European Context. (African Theological Studies / Etudes Theologiques Africaines 24) 166 pp. 2024:8 (P. Lang, SZ) <736-201>
ISBN 978-3-631-91893-7 hard ¥13,041.- (税込) SFR 52.00

This book examines the responses of African Pentecostal Churches in a European context to the plight of African refugees and asylum seekers. It reveals the pressing needs of African refugees and asylum seekers including language skills, basic legal orientation, emotional therapy, accommodation, employment and prayer support. It also draws attention to the lack of proactivity and compassion in the response of African Pentecostal Churches in Europe to the refugee crisis, despite the many helpful ways in which they support these refugees and asylum seekers. The author’s analysis points out that this lack of proactivity and compassion has led to many creative survival tactics that African refugees and asylum seekers use in Europe. The data collected facilitates a fruitful, insightful and practical academic discussion on contemporary issues in mission, migration, and integration, lending support to constructive mission praxis within African Pentecostal Christianity. Missiologists and non-missiologists will learn from the book the critical themes of Pentecostalism and contextualization, Pentecostalism and transformation, mission and migration, identity as a tool for mission and integration, religious response to social challenges and effect of volunteerism on mission.

Kumar, Rebecca / Lee, Seulghee (eds.), Queer and Femme Gazes in AfroAsian American Visual Culture. 260 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-1170>
ISBN 978-3-031-67697-0 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

Queer and Femme Gazes in AfroAsian American Visual Culture is a scholarly collection that takes comparative Black-Asian representations in televisual culture from queer and femme perspectives. AfroAsian representations on screen-as well as their attendant critical gazes-have historically emphasized cross-racial masculinities at the expense of queer and/or femme visions. The prevalence of these previous televisual artefacts-and the ways they have been watched-has contributed directly to white heteronormative legacies within film and visual studies. The collection intervenes by excavating the intimacies and political possibilities within AfroAsian femme, queer, and transgender life. The authors offer alternative ways of looking at racial representation in their attendance to developments in AfroAsian visual culture: music videos, video games, genre serials, and independent and short films.

Tan, Mely G., The Chinese of Sukabumi: A Study of Social and Cultural Accommodation. 2nd ed. (Engaging Indonesia) 292 pp. 2025:1 (Springer, GW) <736-1221>
ISBN 978-981-9794-98-0 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book explores the historical and contemporary experiences of the Chinese in Sukabumi, Indonesia, including their migration to the region, their economic activities, and their relationships with the local population. The book also examines the cultural practices of the Chinese in Sukabumi, including their religion, language, and traditions, and how they have adapted to the local culture. Through extensive research and analysis, the author provides a detailed account of the ways in which the Chinese of Sukabumi have navigated their place in Indonesian society, and the challenges they have faced in doing so. Presented as a co-published edition with Yayasan Pustaka Obor Indonesia, and released in memoriam to the late Mely G. Tan, this edition of The Chinese of Sukabumi honours this original comprehensive study of the social and cultural adaptation of the Chinese community in Sukabumi with the aim of bringing it to a wider international audience. It is an essential resource for scholars and students of Southeast Asian studies, as well as anyone interested in the cultural and social dynamics of the Chinese diaspora.

Alkis Kuecuekaydin, Mensure / Ulum, H. et al. (eds.), Silencing Refugees' Voices in Educational Practices: Perspectives on School Textbooks. 186 pp. 2024:12 (Springer, GW) <736-1223>
ISBN 978-3-031-73517-2 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book foregrounds silenced voices by correlating refugee experiences with educational practices, while questioning how we address the educational rights of individuals affected by conflicts and wars. Accordingly, the book presents a novel perspective within the field of education. Within the context of the most prevalent educational instruments, textbooks, this work endeavors to highlight the muted perspectives of immigrants in education and make significant advances towards resolving this problem. Through extensive research and analysis of the relevant literature, the authors shed light on the challenges refugee students face in their educational trajectories and offer innovative suggestions for adopting more equitable and inclusive approaches within our educational systems. The book not only addresses an educational dilemma, but also emphasizes humanity's shared responsibility. Supporting the educational rights of refugees promotes not only their personal growth, but also more tolerant, compassionate, and sustainable societies. At the same time, this work promotes a critical comprehension of refugee experiences in education by presenting both problems and solutions to the readership. In this way, it demonstrates how a more equitable and egalitarian approach to education can be adopted and it ultimately encourages readers to adopt a broader perspective on the world, embracing humanitarian values and social responsibility.

Bayley, Imogen, Postwar Migration Policy and the Displaced of the British Zone in Germany, 1945-1951: Fighting for a Future. (Palgrave Studies in Migration History) 288 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-1227>
ISBN 978-3-031-73985-9 hard ¥32,952.- (税込) EUR 139.99

?This book examines the experiences of refugees who populated the Displaced Persons (DP) camps in the British Zone of Allied-occupied Germany after the Second World War. With a specific focus on Polish and Jewish communities, it explores the interaction between migration policy and the migration strategy of refugees - or in other words - the relationship between DP policy and individual choices, and how these evolved over time. The book aims to harmonize often contradictory images of displaced persons in the British Zone of occupation by taking a comparative approach and analysing conflicting identifications and state-individual relations. Drawing on the records of the International Tracing Service, refugee memoirs, DP publications distributed in the camps themselves, and personal petitions and correspondences, the author sheds light on the experiences of displaced persons and illustrates the difficulty of making clear-cut distinctions between forced and voluntary migration. Today, as in the post-war period, refugees' access to social rights and welfare, settlement rights, and the possibility of family reunification, can all be determined by the same labels that were so fiercely contested after 1945. A dichotomy between so-called 'economic' and 'political' migration endures, and many claims to asylum are today rejected on the grounds of applicants not being formally recognized as 'genuine' refugees and recipients of aid. This book therefore adds to our growing understanding of the plight of refugees and the need to ensure access to justice for all through the ongoing building of an effective, accountable, and inclusive refugee regime.

Evans, Neil / Williams, Charlotte (eds.), Globalising Welsh Studies: Decolonising History, Heritage, Society and Culture. (Race, Ethnicity, Wales and the World) 336 pp. 2024:11 (U. Wales Pr., UK) <736-1234>

Interest in race and ethnicity research in Wales has grown apace in the last decade, opening up wider debates about the nature, focus and content of what collectively is called Welsh Studies. Across a range of disciplines, we are witnessing not only a 'global turn' placing Wales more substantively within a plethora of global interconnections, but also a 'decolonial turn' that involves the questioning of disciplinary traditions and knowledge production, and highlighting the colonial legacy that shapes academic pursuits. In the present text, we explore the development of Welsh Studies through the lens of race/ethnicity. Contributors from history, heritage studies, literature, film, policy, social and cultural studies offer case analyses adopting new perspectives, theoretical routes and methodological innovations, with the aim of illustrating aspects of the decolonising of knowledge production.

Hill, Emma, Navigating the (Post)Colonial Pathways of Somali Migration to Scotland: Between the Edges of Empire. (Palgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship Series) 224 pp. 2024:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <736-1239>
ISBN 978-3-031-74196-8 hard ¥30,598.- (税込) EUR 129.99

What happens when migration takes place between sites defined by different types of 'colonial difference'? This book asks this question in the context of Somali migration to Scotland, which it maps over a century of colonial relations, independence movements, and the reorganisation of the (post)colonial Somali and British states. Framing both Somalia and Scotland as sites of marginality in the matrices of colonial power, it tracks through a combination of archival material and contemporary testimonies the operation, development and divergence of (the) colonial(ity of) power in shaping Somali migration and citizenship experiences in Scotland. However, whilst the book has a grounded and localised focus, it makes the argument that Somali-Scottish migration cases present the urgent need for a holistic approach to the operation of coloniality, which not only emanates from the so-called 'centre' of Empire, but also at and between its edges.

This book offers perspectives on how "education as we know it" is being challenged by the complexity of "nextness" that no longer allows for taking deeply grounded assumptions on the meaning of education as granted. This book interrogates ontological, ethical, and political challenges that immigrant children face. With the global situation in which more and more children are displaced, direct intergenerational transmission is broken, suspended, or complicated and made incoherent, and "things of concern" may be radically different for policymakers, for teachers, students, or their parents. Even the concept of the child as one who needs to be educated before they start participating in adult life cannot be taken for granted in this context. What needs and what can be passed on - and what is worth passing in this context? How do we conceptualize education to encounter newcomers in their realities of being both native and strange, inmate and neighbour or alien, temporal and spatial - and how do we address them all as worth of address? These questions will shine through the authors' reflections on crisis, education, and migration in the complex context of war, climatic catastrophe, displacement, hospitality and institutionalised hostility. This book suggests significant ideas for educational theory and practice responsive to the multi-dimensional crisis of which massive migrations is the most pressing feature in school nowadays.

In this book, we argue that authoritarian forces are working harder than ever to maintain, reinstate, and pass laws and policies that are antithetical to a kind, equitable, and socially just society that meets all of its citizens' needs. American cultural hegemony-the dissemination process by which people are persuaded through laws and policies, institutional and cultural ideologies, norms, values, and practices to privilege the interests of powerful, disproportionately white, highstatus, and wealthy individuals and families-is ubiquitous. We learn to take for granted that the capitalist, social caste system in which we live, in largely segregated, racial, ethnic, and social class communities, is the best and fairest of all possible systems and just 'the way things are.' For example, large numbers of media and educational programs sell white supremacy, racism, social caste, sexism, and other forms of discrimination, as normal, natural, and common sense. Few schools teach children to become critically conscious of the hegemonic process by which social hierarchy in the United States has been handed down over more than four hundred years. Our research in this book names some of the above-mentioned laws, policies, and ways of framing reality that maintain the inequitable system in which we live, and silence and traumatize students, faculty, staff , and social justice activists in education and beyond. It also includes some alternative narratives being enacted by extraordinary educators, supporting collective action, critical consciousness, accountability, hope, equity, and social justice. Despite some social change, social caste continues to de- ne our lives. So, those of us who value democracy, equity, and social justice need to contribute, collectively and individually, to help our students and communities see through the gaslighting that conceals the lack of historical and current equity in our society-in other words, to recognize how cultural hegemony works to reproduce inequities.

Using a framework combining Critical Race Theory and Critical Reflection and Generativity for Transformative Praxis, this book examines both how white preservice teachers conceive of race and racism (habits of mind) and how they react when dealing with race and racism in the classroom (patterns of acting). With firm grounding in real-world data, the authors detail ways in which teacher educators can recognize and deal with preservice teachers who cannot-or will not-translate their reflections on race into actions against racism.

The figure of the supplicant negro-a figure famously represented in Josiah Wedgewood's eighteenth-century anti-slavery medallion-continues to sideline histories of radical Black anti-colonialist struggle. The End of the Supplication contends that Black freedom struggles are anti-colonial movements against anti-Blackness and the permutations of slavery, and as such they are ill-served by a dominant Civil Rights discourse that escapes neither the paternalism of white abolitionism nor the caricatures of minstrelsy. The book traces the roots of the white supremacist ideology behind the disarmed, supplicant-negro figure, and it shows how this ideology continues to inform present liberal presentations of Black people as passive subjects at the mercy of white power, which only reinforces the relatively light consequences white people generally incur for harming Black people. These discussions lead to the conclusion that in our contemporary context of rising, openly white-supremacist politics, the figure of the supplicant negro must be definitively destroyed in order to make way for more effective resistance to anti-Black racism. This book is a must-read for students and researchers interested in colonialism and decolonization, diaspora studies, critical race and whiteness studies, African American studies, Black studies, and indigenous studies. It is also of keen interest for anyone frustrated with the still-recurring admonition to "go slow" when it comes to eradicating structural racism.

This timely handbook responds to the international drive to know more about Whiteness - its origins, its impacts and, importantly, the means for diffusing it. Guided by critical Whiteness theory, the volume deconstructs, decodes and disrupts Whiteness as it is constructed and employed in contemporary and diverse contexts. To do so, the international contributors discuss and critique the role of 21st-century Whiteness across a range of professions and disciplines relevant to the needs of contemporary global citizens. Failure to deconstruct Whiteness as an ideology and the power structure underlying national and global racial inequalities undermines the efforts to improve social, health and economic outcomes for societies and nations on a grand scale. The handbook is comprehensive in its nature and contents, with 10 themed parts ranging from a more disciplinary-based approach, theoretical frameworks, and methodological frameworks, to different aspects of decolonized approaches to social, health, political and economic well-being. It navigates how various disciplines respond to the pervasive and persuasive nature of Whiteness in their operational settings, across individual, professional, organisational and systemic levels. The volume is unique in its dual focus on deconstructing Whiteness and providing examples and recommendations on how diverse groups seek to decolonize their communities and people through action. Examples and recommendations are discussed with particular focus on: 1) the interconnection between integrating indigenous and diverse knowledges and perspectives in deconstructing Whiteness; 2) the urgency for critical Whiteness discourse, dialogue and professional development across disciplines; and 3) institutional accountability to decolonisation and anti-racism. Considering the ongoing marginalization and institutional racism directed at non-White individuals and communities and the rise of White supremacy movements, critical Whiteness pedagogy and research is more important than ever. Handbook of Critical Whiteness: Deconstructing Dominant Discourses Across Disciplines is an essential resource for students, educators, academics, researchers, higher education administrators, practitioners, policy-makers, organisational leaders, government stakeholders, and other professionals in social sciences, medicine, STEM, allied/global/public health, legal and political disciplines, and health and social care institutions. It especially engages those interested in decolonisation, critical race theory, critical Whiteness theory, critical multiculturalism, social justice, anti-racism and Indigenous knowledges.?

This edited volume explores how migrant identities are created and constructed in discourse both by migrants themselves and by others. The contributors reveal how migrant identities are discursively constructed by those with lived experiences of mobility and those who view themselves as part of the 'host' population. This dual focus responds to a lack of previous research examining migration representation from both perspectives. Readers will discover how the discursive constructions of migrant identities in different domains relate to one another.The case studies include a broad range of text types from film, government documents and narrative accounts to newspapers and Twitter. They also cover a wide range of contexts including Argentina, Australia, Italy, Romania, and UK, making this is a more comprehensive account of the framing of migration than has been previously accomplished. The chapters all follow the same structure to help the reader learn how to investigate migration discourses using qualitative and quantitative (critical) discourse analytic approaches.

Inspired by decolonial thinking, this book challenges romantic images of Y Wladfa, the Welsh Patagonian settlement founded in 1865. Drawing on archival sources written in Spanish, Welsh and English, it exposes the complex human relationships of this settler colony, and in particular disrupts the myth of Welsh-Indigenous friendship by foregrounding Indigenous experience and revealing less familiar accounts in the record. A newly-developed framework applies three logics - possession, racialization/barbarisation, and assimilation - to make sense of settler colonialism in Patagonia and to debate Wales's complex position as both colonised and coloniser. A new analysis of contemporary cultural products (television, film, textbooks) further demonstrates how the romantic view continues to shape racial stereotypes today, concluding that such settler origin countries as Wales are vital sites of decolonial debate.

This book examines father-son relations and their role in the transfer of forms of masculinity and fathering practices. It also explores how far the psychosocial resources transferred from fathers to sons enable sons to navigate challenges in their everyday lives, particularly in contexts of disadvantage and marginalization. This study is a successor to an earlier book examining the inter-generational transfer of human wellbeing amongst Latin American migrant women and their daughters. By extending this analysis to the case of migrant fathers and sons this book explores the impacts of international migration on constructions of masculinity and fatherhood whilst investigating the utility of resources passed intergenerationally in a different social, political and economic environment.

The book project strives to establish and interpret the experiences and realities of African migration using African epistemology and philosophy. The significance of this book is triggered by an observation that seeks to propound the Eurocentric paradigm as not being the only dominating, acceptable, or legitimate approach to knowledge in explaining the evolution and dynamics of African migration. Africans have a long history of migration, both involuntary and voluntary. Contemporary African migrants have experienced three (3) types of migration, namely labour migration, forced migration or refugee movement, and skilled professional migration. These types of migration take place within the continent and between Africa and other continents. The book seeks to explore and cover a wide array of issues experienced by contemporary African migrants. This includes, but is not limited to, what and who a contemporary African migrant is; factors that influence contemporary African migration; the role and impact of regional institutions and other transnational entities on contemporary African migration; the challenges of contemporary African migrants; the impact of contemporary African migrants in national, regional, international politics and economy; the role of a contemporary African migrant on regional integration.

This book takes a critical macro-level political sociological perspective to understanding South African politics and society. Applying systemic racism theory to South Africa, the author argues that South African society through its exclusionary social mechanisms has assumed a systemically racist form that deeply compromises questions of truth and justice. Constitutive of, and embedded in, the structure of South African society, racism has a reach and a durability that runs deep through the successive stages of segregationism, apartheid, and liberal democracy. Showing the limits of the rule of law in a racist society, the author offers a theoretically-informed interpretation as to why the national liberation struggle has fallen short of its promise to deliver a "better life for all," and as to why truth and justice remain so deeply compromised in South African today. The arguments advanced are supported by over thirty semi-structured interviews conducted by the author with high-profile South African politicians, jurists, and intellectuals; as well as by using Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearing transcripts - both public and "top-secret." This thought-provoking book is driven by the imperative to offer a compelling and sustained argument for taking a systemic racism approach to interpreting South Africa for scholars and students of sociology, political science, race and ethnic studies, law, and South African history.

Housing has always had a close association with the lives refugees lead in exile and the settlement of refugees is, at its core, a housing issue. Refugees move from their home, perhaps through various other places, to finally arrive in a nation-state which provides them with security of status and the promise of assistance to continue their lives. At the foundation of this promise of refuge is the provision of a safe and secure home. Despite this, the knowledge base about housing and its significance in the lives of refugees is not fully understood and this risks understating the enormous impact housing has on the settlement of refugees more broadly. This book makes an important contribution to the literature on the relationship between sanctuary and housing. It draws on new empirical research to examine how refugees have transitioned through the housing system over the last three decades and how changes in policy and the routes into refugee status has mediated these experiences.

This book investigates everyday life within Lebanese Australian homes, documenting how these homes integrate Lebanese Australian culture into suburban Australian life. It explores how the homemaking practices of Lebanese Australian families both influence and are influenced by the context of suburban housing in Australia. Drawing from in-depth interviews, household tours, photographic documentation, mental mapping, and historical imagery data collection, the book illuminates homemaking practices that have evolved from creating a "home away from home" to practices influenced by a unique Lebanese Australian lifestyle, rooted in the perception of Australia as their home.

This book reviews photographic portrayals of contemporary Italian migrants living in the area between Lausanne and Geneva in Switzerland (Arc Lemanique). Drawing from the archives of Swiss-French illustrated magazines (L'Illustre and L'Hebdo) and other online publications, the author analyses the distinctive photographic representations of Italian migrants in Switzerland from the 1960s to 2019 and uses them to produce new photographic portraits of the 21st century Italian migrants on the Arc Lemanique. Challenging the narrative on the brain drain, the book showcases 24 portraits of Italians living in Switzerland with the aim to unveil the unique and complex nature of a new Italian diaspora in the age of globalization. The combination of theories, concepts, and methodologies used reflects the interdisciplinary and creative approach of this research, which brings together culture, identity, photography, and creative process. Based on the lived experience of the author as an Italian migrant in Switzerland, the book offers a profound analysis of the phenomenon of migration and identity through visual communication. The interviews included in chapter 4 were originally conducted and recorded by the author in Italian. The English version is the result of a translation done with the help of artificial intelligence. The author has subsequently corrected and revised the text further in an endeavour to refine the work stylistically.
