This book examines the education-mobility nexus at an individual and EU policy level. With particular reference to second generations and highly-qualified 'knowledgable' movers, the authors present empirical research on young and adult migrants in Italy, and Italian professionals in European and non-European destinations. This original, data-driven book contributes to wider debates on education policy, the sociology of education and migration studies.

This edited volume chronicles the movements of Black and Afro-descendant women across intellectual, geographic, temporal, gender, and cultural boundaries. In the interdisciplinary tradition of Black Feminism, the contributors explore the redefinition and evolution of Black women and place. Researchers, activists, and academics present diverse perspectives on the strategies through which Black and Afro-descendant women confront racism and sexism in their communities. The chapters also examine the knowledge and pathways generated by Black and Afro-descendant women in both historical and contemporary contexts.

The book is organized in three sections. "Historical Trajectories" situates the experiences of Black women in the legacies of the past that continue to shape present-day activism. "Community Experiences" reflects on the importance of Black and Afro-descendant women's work in sustaining the social fabric of their communities. Finally, "Narrative as Methodology" offers innovative approaches to narrating the personal experiences of Black and Afro-descendant women in education, research, and activism.

Over the past 20 years, 33,000 North Korean refugees have escaped to South Korea, though their plight in South Korea is largely unknown to the Western World. These North Korean refugees who have made it to freedom are struggling.

Within South Korea, North Koreans find themselves in a land of plenty but can't seem to move on. For many, they are not in danger for the first time in decades but cannot turn off the traumatic memories from their lives in North Korea and the peril they faced during their escape. After fleeing North Korea, refugees travel the 6,000 mile modern day underground railroad in China and other Asian countries.

Gathered from the author's work with the NGO, Crossing Borders, this book shares the real life stories of North Koreans trapped under the weight of lingering trauma, depression, and discrimination in South Korea. These stories help us to imagine what the future might hold for North Korea and North Korean refugees in a changing world.

This edited book is a rich and diverse collection of chapters examining the educational transitions of marginalized and multilingual migrant youth across six countries in Northern Europe. Contributions analyze and discuss the transitions from intersectional perspectives such as religion, nationality, socio-economic condition, gender, and language. This intersection of background, personal, societal, cultural, and educational variables emphasize the need to remove barriers and adapt educational spaces to be more inclusive and socially just. The book will be of interest to students and academics in education, child and youth studies, migration studies, sociology and sociolinguistics.

This anthology brings together a diverse array of perspectives and histories that weave together notions of Black-ness, British-ness, and dance. It offers a starting point for those interested in these topics, signposting readers to other sources while also providing an extensive overview of companies, artists, events, and artworks that compose a foundational account.

The chapters foreground Black-ness within the multicultural landscape of British dance, addressing gaps in narratives of dance history, development, and innovation from a British perspective. Engaging with Black-ness as diasporic multiplicities-expressed through the lived contexts of Caribbean British, African British, Black British, and Afro-Indigenous British lineages, alongside African American influences that have been lived and developed within Britain-the collection highlights artists whose work has profoundly shaped and continues to enrich the British dance landscape. More than a record of the past, this book reflects the living, evolving presence of Black-ness in British dance today.

This book explores how language-in-use shapes the soul, identity, and spirituality of Asian American Christian women in diaspora, focusing on the theological and semiotic significance of language.

In employing an interdisciplinary framework cutting across Christian theology, linguistic anthropology, and feminist theory, the author suggests the concept of street-smart spirituality-a form of everyday mysticism embodied in vernacular speech acts. Focusing on the Korean term maum (heart-mind-soul), the book argues that everyday utterances, gestures, and vocal practices convey qualia-textured signs of internal experience-that articulate Christian subjectivity beyond institutional orders or dominant linguistic norms. Tracing the rhetorical tradition of sermo humilis and vernacularity from Augustine to Dante, and placing it in conversation with Marguerite Porete and Yi Suni, the book reveals how Christian vernaculars have functioned as vehicles of resistance, intimacy, and transformation. In grappling with the racialized demands of "standard" American English, this work affirms the power of fragile, diasporic, and accented speech as a site of divine encounter and theological agency. The book invites readers to rethink what makes language "Christian," what renders a person "American enough," and how voice becomes a sacred medium of becoming.

This book examines how media shapes the public's perception of migration, exploring the framing strategies that dominate coverage and policy debates across Europe, with Italy as a focal case. Analyzing thirty years of media narratives, it delves into recurring frames-such as crime, humanitarianism, and security risks-that create narrow yet powerful interpretations of migration. Through a sociological lens and mixed-method analysis, the authors provide a model to understand these frames and their impact on public opinion, policy, and activism. This book will interest scholars, students, and practitioners in media studies, sociology, and political science.

Open Casket brings political and philosophical clarity to bear on the brutal murder of Emmitt Till and his mother's decision to show the world her son's body.


The open casket is a central motif, a political and ethical focal point, for thinking about Mamie Till-Mobley's pain and suffering and her profound act of truth-telling as she wanted the world to bear witness to the gratuitous, despicable, and atrocious dimensions of anti-Blackness. The critical and powerful essays within this book capture both the horror of Emmett Till's murder/lynching and the powerful agency and the indomitable Black maternal love and courage that Mamie Till-Mobley demonstrated. Through the open casket, Mamie Till-Mobley reclaimed her son's body, and re-signified his dignity and familial-relational meaning to white America, Black America, and the world. It was her agency-in spite of the horror of his disfigured body and the unbearable affective weight that she experienced by such a site/sight-that forced white America to witness the terror of anti-Blackness, to tarry with its own egregious systemic racism.


In solemn recognition of the 70th anniversary of Till's murder, George Yancy and A. Todd Franklin gather interdisciplinary voices to articulate the political, spiritual, and existential significance of Black hope in the face of seeming hopelessness.

This book analyses media and political discourses surrounding the acceptance of refugees in contemporary Japan.

Drawing on critical discourse analysis, which sees the use of language as a form of social practice, this book traces changing discourses on refugees in Japan and explores ideologies embedded in them. By adopting the analytical concepts of national identity, state identity, ontological security, governmental belonging, kokusaika (internationalisation) and tabunka kyosei (multicultural coexistence), it explores the rationale that underpins these discourses over a nearly half-century period - from 1975, when the first Vietnamese refugees arrived on Japanese shores, to 2023, when a controversial bill to amend Japan's Immigration Control and Refugee Recognition Act was approved by the National Diet. Given the increasing number of refugees worldwide, this timely discussion will provide valuable insights into research on refugees not only in Japan but also within an international, comparative framework.

Contributing to understandings of not only refugee issues but also broader issues of Japan's national identity and ethnic diversities in Japan, this will be a valuable resource to students and scholar of Japanese Studies, Multiculturalism and Migration Studies.

It could happen anywhere in America. And it could happen today.

Stopping the Deportation Machine tells the true story of one undocumented student's journey to America to escape death threats, reunite with his family, and pursue an education. In the blink of an eye, Wildin Acosta's dream of becoming the first member of his family to graduate high school in the United States turned into a nightmare when undercover immigration agents in Durham, North Carolina, arrested him one morning before school, intending to deport him to his native Honduras.

This is a book about immigration, education, and community. Written by the school's journalism teacher, it also tells the story of one educator's awakening to the plight of undocumented students and a system that sometimes treats them as little more than cogs in a deportation machine. Based in part on accounts by student journalists and extensive interviews with Wildin Acosta, Christopher tells the story of how, with assistance from teachers, community leaders, and elected officials, four high school students fought all the way to Washington, DC, to get Wildin released from a government detention center and back in school.

At a time when Americans continue to be deeply divided about the plight of undocumented children, Stopping the Machine breaks through the polarized rhetoric to put a human face on a problem that resides in communities across the nation. It will make readers change the way they think about why people come to America and how our government decides who can and cannot stay.

Notes from the EU's Eastern Edge is a bold, singular book-auto-ethnography with analytic bite, theoretically literate without scholasticism, and ethically self-aware. It shows how Kremlin "migration engineering" met a ready-made European script of fear, pride, and denial along the Belarus-Poland frontier. It traces how memory politics and securitized compassion turn migrants into symbols in border forests, as well as in newsrooms, museums, and classrooms, while bilingual gatekeepers launder hard edges into "responsible" discourse. The book's core contribution is to shift Polish-populism studies from monist typologies to a processual account of a dialectical, polycentric regime of managed antagonisms, refusing the easy pejorative of "populism" and retaining an emancipatory horizon. Vivid reportage sits with compact documentary mini-cases to show how trauma, sovereignty and solidarity are being rewritten at Europe's edge. Definitive for debates on borders, memory and the political unconscious in Central Europe.

In the first pages of The Souls of Black Folk, W. E. B. Du Bois meditates on the question, "How does it feel to be a problem?"

In this profound response to that question, Zahi Zalloua endeavours to think through the shared Black and Palestinian experience of being racialized as a problem. Zalloua argues that today's anti-Blackness is not a lingering feature of a regrettable past that only occasionally manifests its ugly face. Rather, anti-Blackness permeates white civil society. Black being stands for the anti-human, its being is barred and degraded. And while Black being denotes criminality, Palestinian being denotes terrorism - a problematic being produced by Orientalism and used to legitimize oppression. Both the Black and Palestinian are framed as existential threats that undermine the very structures of white and Zionist dominance.

To Exist as a Problem provides a searing critique of such assumptions, arguing that Blacks and Palestinians do exist as a problem, but a different problem than the one dictated by the petrifying white and settler gaze. They exist as a threat because the mechanisms of structural racism make them so. In order for racism to thrive, they must be othered in the profoundest sense. In asking how a politics can be constructed in the face of this hegemony, Zalloua constructs a model of solidarity that places Black lives and Palestinian liberation at the forefront of the anti-racist struggle.

This book explores and discusses the different perspectives stemming from the visa as a tool of international mobility. A visa has a multifaced nature. It is a `key' which allows foreign nationals to reach the door of the State. It is also a tool for the State to govern migration and border control. In humanitarian and international protection terms, it is also a tool for human rights protection. Against this background, this book assesses the legal and socio-political implications arising from the multipurpose nature and scope of visas. It is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the visa as an instrument for migration control, contextualizing the rationale behind its invention and the legal challenges it raises. The second part focuses on the visa as a tool for asylum, examining its use for humanitarian purposes, including resettlement schemes and emergency-related evacuation initiatives put in place in different legal systems. It will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Migration and Asylum Law, International Human Rights Law and Political Science.

This book explores how social work can navigate and shape the rapidly evolving dynamics of race, ethnicity, and culture. At a time when national debates and global changes are intensifying, this book provides a much-needed intellectual space to critically examine the current landscape and envision a future that aligns with social work's core values of justice, equity, and inclusion.

Through a collection of thought-provoking chapters, the book delves into the challenges and opportunities that race, ethnicity, and culture present for social work practice, research, and education. Each chapter offers a reflective and critical appraisal of the present while proposing creative, preventive, and innovative solutions to promote racial and social justice. The authors encourage readers to embrace future thinking-an equity-centered, proactive approach that empowers us to co-create a more just and inclusive world rather than passively accept one dictated by external forces.

This book is an essential resource for students, social work practitioners, educators, and researchers interested in racial and social justice, cultural competence, equity-centered practice, and innovative approaches to social work education.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Ethnic & Cultural Diversity in Social Work.

This book delves into the evolving dynamics of out-migration from Northeast India: a region historically associated with in-migration. It examines the shifting migration patterns, particularly the increasing trend of out-migration to Delhi and other parts of India, and the socio-economic implications for both migrants and their families left behind.

Focusing on the experiences of out-migrants from Northeast India, the book highlights their distinctive migration patterns characterised by predominant engagement in the service sector, setting them apart from the other migrants who are largely concentrated in construction and manual labour, challenging conventional narratives of migration. It explores the factors driving migration, the socio-economic characteristics of migrants, their employability, the increasing instances of discrimination, and the neighbourhoods they inhabit. Additionally, through its rich field-based studies, it presents a poignant analysis of the impact of migration on left behind family members, particularly elderly parents, offering an insightful perspective on the migration process.

This volume is a valuable resource for policymakers and scholars studying labour migration, urbanisation, and the socio-economic complexities of migration. It will particularly appeal to those interested in South Asian Studies, South Asian Economics, and the evolving patterns of migration in diverse socio-economic contexts.

This timely volume addresses the interpersonal, institutional, and structural factors underpinning inequities in healthcare access, experiences, and outcomes among racialised communities living in the United Kingdom (UK) today.

Bringing together researchers from the UK and Ireland, ranging from established scholars and early-career researchers to those working at the interface of research and community health, this volume assembles their trailblazing work to examine the complex relationship between race, racism, and health. Organised according to the following six themes: Questioning, Research and Data, Maternal Health, Mis/Trust in Services, Chronic Conditions and the Social Determinants of Health, and Beyond Resilience, the chapters uncover how racially unjust systems and practices generate unequal outcomes, while outlining the urgent changes needed to redress these systemic inequities. By examining how racial inequities are produced, sustained, and compounded across key domains of society, healthcare, and health research, the volume offers a critical guide for understanding and, more importantly, addressing racial and ethnic inequities in health in the UK.

This unique and important book is essential reading for educators, students, and policy makers within public health, medical education, public policy, and beyond.

This volume examines Muslim minority experiences across East and Southeast Asia through detailed case studies spanning China, Japan, Korea, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore.

Challenging both Western narratives about Muslim minorities and conventional scholarship focused on Muslim-majority Asian countries, this collection reveals how Muslim-minority communities navigate complex relationships with state power, colonial legacies, and globalisation. Through innovative methodological approaches, the authors analyse how these communities maintain religious identity while adapting to majority societies - from minority rights in China, property rights in Myanmar to digital engagement in Singapore and localised religious practices in Japan. By centring Asian perspectives through 'Asia as a method', the book illuminates the political, economic, and socio-legal challenges confronting these communities.

This book is essential for scholars of Asian studies, religious studies, and political science, as well as policymakers and researchers studying minority communities. It serves anyone seeking to understand diverse Muslim minority realities in a world where assumptions about religion, citizenship, and identity are constantly challenged.

American Antiblackness: Examining the Fields of Contemporary Racism details how, from its founding, antiblackness has been axiomatic for the United States. The goal of antiblackness is the delegitimization and dehumanization of actual Blackness, from its oral and written resistance narratives to its outstanding works of literature and science, and from its hard-won political achievements to its strivings for greater freedom and social justice. This centuries-long process of delegitimization has racially segregated lives to a much larger extent than is generally acknowledged. This book provides a compelling window into how antiblackness is embedded, reproduced, and challenged in specific US organizations and institutions-including educational systems, sports leagues, STEM fields, and healthcare institutions. It foregrounds how many generations of Black activists and scholars have aggressively countered these racially discriminatory traditions.

Through a notable mix of established and rising scholars across numerous disciplines, American Antiblackness unpacks how antiblackness has been analyzed in many areas of research. This book presents an intersectional approach to understanding common debates and threads in how these various fields have examined antiblackness, and it will be of critical importance to social justice activists and scholars across many disciplines, including African American studies, the social sciences, the physical sciences, the humanities, public policy programs, and art and literature studies.

This book challenges pre-service and in-service educators to reflect critically on their assumptions and engage in praxis promoting racial and social equity. Grounded in policy contexts, historical understandings, and critical theories, this book describes innovative community-engaged approaches to resisting racism and promoting equity and features reflections and personal narratives from partners in change-including on-the-ground activists, voices from younger and older generations, educators, and first-time writers.

Fueled by the ideology of white supremacy for over four centuries that whites matter more than Blacks, the authors argue that racial inequities exacerbated during the Trump administration and the legacy of neo-liberal policies dating to the "New Federalism" fiercely necessitate invoking community-engaged strategies to advance equity.

This book advocates for collaboration among schools, community organizations, businesses, university centers, and community activists to address historically pressing issues, including systemic racism, declining educational opportunities, limited access to ongoing health care, and the decline of civility in public life.

With a chronology that spans from 1500 to the present day, Interracial Intimacies centers relationships as a historical force in the making of the modern world, rethinking world history from the ground up, and illuminating how everyday relationships helped produce global hierarchies and how people shaped their own lives within them.

The book moves from slave ships and battlefields to migrant neighbourhoods and courtrooms to show how relationships across racial, cultural, and imperial boundaries shaped systems of power, identity, and belonging. It highlights the intersection of social, political, and cultural factors that worked to segregate people based on race and how the development of interracial sexual relationships worked to threaten this division. Through personal vignettes and vivid global case studies, the book shows that interracial relationships were never merely private affairs. They were sites where race, gender, sexuality, and empire were negotiated, enforced, and sometimes resisted, especially by women and marginalized peoples navigating deeply unequal worlds. The book argues that racial boundaries hardened alongside the rise of modern states, capitalism, and scientific racism in a global setting; as governments used marriage laws, segregation, and moral policing to regulate intimacy, interracial relationships became flashpoints for anxieties about national belonging.

Written for advanced undergraduate students, Interracial Intimacies will be of interest to students of World History, Gender Studies, Race Studies, and Cultural Studies.

The Political Economy of Youth and Migration examines lived experiences to critique how the youth-NGO sector (youth complex) manages the fault lines of global capitalism and limits young peoples' activities.

Since the Arab uprisings and the migration crisis, young MENA refugees are portrayed as both threats to capitalism and valuable resilient workers, revealing mutually interdependent conditions that position them as both a political threat and a potential economic resource. This text considers how global conceptualizations of youth and adulthood define young people's relationship to work, learning, and civic participation through the youth complex where NGOs offer mobility and civic participation opportunities while cementing neoliberal visions of society. Drawing on Marxist feminism and interview data alongside NGO reports, the book critiques capitalism and liberal democracy rather than blaming individual migrants. This book thinks through the global economic and local political conditions that have positioned young refugees as subjects in the (re)making. It challenges assumptions about civil society, showing how NGOs shape refugee identities and define their border-crossing experiences and reframe capitalism's destruction as positive opportunities for displaced youth.

As an interdisciplinary study, this book will be useful to scholars of political economy, Marxist feminism, citizenship studies, and youth sociology.

This book critically examines the concept of refugee integration, challenging its colonial underpinnings and structural asymmetries while exploring alternative possibilities for inclusion. Through grounded case studies in Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Turkey, and Kenya, it delves into how education, labor, and social participation can foster more just and inclusive political arrangements. By centering the lived experiences of refugees navigating hostile environments and restrictive policies, the volume highlights spaces of agency, dignity, and relation. Rather than offering a singular model, it invites readers to imagine a decolonial politics of inclusion that resists categorization and prioritizes ethical participation beyond assimilation. This work rethinks the moral and political imagination of refuge, charting a critical path toward solidarity and justice.

The volume is aimed at scholars, policymakers, activists, and students engaged in migration studies, political science, sociology, and decolonial theory. It will also resonate with practitioners working in refugee support, human rights advocacy, and international development.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
