This book explores the complex intersections of ageing, migration, and transnational family life. Migration reshapes family structures and alters the quality and dynamics of relationships across generations and borders. Rather than viewing ageing solely from the perspective of older adults, this edited volume conceptualizes ageing as a life-long process, offering important connections to life-course perspectives on families and intergenerational relationships. Amid intensified global mobility and population ageing, the chapters present both quantitative and qualitative research from diverse contexts around the world. Together, they illuminate underexamined groups and social settings in the fields of ageing and migration, expanding and deepening current scholarly debates. Drawing on data from a range of social science disciplines, the volume provides rigorous analyses of aged care, health, parenthood, gender, and culture. It reveals the multifaceted ways in which ageing shapes family relationships within the context of migration and transnationalism. The contributions examine how ageing migrants navigate their own experiences of growing older while living apart from their adult children and kin, and how migrants engage with notions of well-being, care, and filial obligation in relation to ageing parents who remain in their countries of origin. Interdisciplinary in scope, this book will appeal to scholars and students of migration studies, family sociology, social gerontology, diaspora studies, and anthropology, offering new insights into the lived realities of ageing and care in a transnational world.

This book highlights the experiences of people with disability and their family members from Syrian and Iraqi refugee backgrounds who have resettled in Australia over the past decade.
Based on in-depth life history interviews, the book details the challenges people faced as refugees adapting to a new country. Some of these challenges are consistent with those faced by people from refugee backgrounds, but the book sheds special light on difficulties which are specific to or exacerbated by the disability experience. Taking a scholarly perspective, the Angela Dew explores the implications of these challenges and recommends alternative approaches which may diminish the challenges and enhance the benefits that can accrue to not just the individuals seeking refuge, but the societies receiving them. Bringing together four conceptual frameworks-life course theory, ecological theory, social capital theory, and journey theory-the book explores how the application of these theories offers complimentary viewpoints to provide a deeper understanding of the experiences of people with disability from refugee backgrounds. By affirming that people with disability and their family members who seek asylum and those who are accepted as refugees in resettlement countries deserve safety, security and support following traumatic life experiences which are compounded by their disability, Dew offers a vision for a richer, more equitable society.

This book shows how racial perception goes beyond the limits of sight. Drawing on Semiotic Cultural Psychology, it challenges the dominant visuocentric paradigm that equates race with visually apprehended phenotypic traits. Through an in-depth case study of a congenitally blind individual, the author demonstrates that racial distinctions are not self-evident to the senses but emerge through socially mediated, symbolic, and affective processes.

Integrating insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and disability studies, the volume explores how race operates as a dynamic, culturally constructed sign within intersubjective relations. It critically revisits Brazilian racial classification systems, affirmative action controversies, and heteroidentification procedures, exposing the contradictions between race as a social construct and the visual essentialism embedded in current practices. The book advances a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes racial identity as a dimension of body image-biopsychosocial, historically situated, and affectively charged.

Combining rigorous theoretical analysis with qualitative methodology, Race Beyond Vision: A Semiotic-Cultural Study of Racial Perception and Blindness contributes to debates on race, perception, and embodiment by revealing how blind individuals participate fully in the social construction of race. It will appeal to scholars and graduate students in cultural psychology, critical race studies, semiotics, and disability studies, as well as researchers interested in epistemology and qualitative inquiry.

While Deafness can function as a cultural-linguistic identity with its own language and community norms, Deaf individuals may belong simultaneously to other social groups while sharing a Deaf identity.

Throughout this work, Belenyi and Flora interpret Deafness and ethnicity through the lens of Social Identity Theory (SIT), which posits that individuals derive part of their self-concept from membership in social groups and predicts that group memberships shape self-concept and self-esteem. While SIT has its limitations, newer adaptations, such as self-categorization theory and identity process theory, allow for more nuanced interpretations. With a focus on Hungarian ethnic-minority Deaf people in Romania-and their partners and communities-the authors examine these insights to understand how Deaf people in Romania balance their ethnic and Deaf identities.

Deaf people in East-Central Europe, especially in the multi-ethnic context of Romania, inhabit overlapping minority worlds. Although nation-building policies often emphasize linguistic and ethnic homogeneity, in practice Hungarian-Romanian relations within Deaf families and communities can reveal unexpected cultural bridges. This book combines a theoretical synthesis of Deaf identity, culture, and ethnicity with empirical life-course research to shed new light on how Deaf and ethnic identities intersect.

This book examines the way that migrant workers' everyday experiences are being shaped by precarious conditions in the receiving countries. Utilising a mixed methods approach, the case studies of migrant workers in Thailand and Thai migrant workers in Taiwan, South Korea and the USA from 2005-2020 are analyzed to compare the strategies used toward justice in various contexts such as labour, permanent residency, and human rights. Revealing the limitations for true economic and social integration, the author argues that precarious conditions and exclusion from legal protections are the forces that limit noncitizens' access to remedies against wage theft, labour trafficking, forced labour and related human rights violations. NGOs advocating alongside Southeast Asian migrant workers therefore exemplify how transnational labour rights are negotiated to increase state social protections for foreign nationals abroad, working in dirty, dangerous, and degrading jobs globally. Advancing the growing literature on labour migration and precarities in South East Asia and the USA, the author combines labour and anti-trafficking theories with practices utilized by NGO and trade unions to participate in setting the agenda of this interdisciplinary field of migrant precarity. The implications are therefore not just of interest to scholars of migration from and in Asia but appeals to international practitioners in trade unions and policy makers.

Tax matters. It structures our societies, influences our choices, and reflects our values. Yet the meaning and impact of taxation are constantly changing in step with a world marked by climate transitions, demographic shifts, digitalisation, globalisation, and migration.

This open access book addresses critical questions surrounding attitudes to tax and tax compliance through the lens of 'fiscal belonging,' demonstrating the value of qualitative approaches to tax research. It explores the lived experience of immigrants to the UK, and how feelings of belonging, exclusion, reciprocity, and obligation shape their encounters with the tax system. The book illuminates the many different facets of fiscal belonging, including the right to work and access to employment, as well as histories of colonialism and the economic history of different communities on a national scale. By foregrounding personal narratives and the complexity of social worlds, this book argues for more methodologically diverse and inclusive approaches to understanding why people do, or do not, pay tax. It will be of interest to scholars across disciplines, as well as tax professionals working in business, consultancy, and public administration.

This book explores the complex nexus of climate change, labour, and migration with a specific focus on women and children, using Indonesia as a case study. It provides a comprehensive analysis of intersecting issues, drawing on transdisciplinary academic knowledge from fields such as law, social work, gender studies, public health, engineering, and urban planning.

The book examines the future of climate change law in Indonesia, gender-based adaptation strategies, and the role of local leaders in managing sea level rise impacts. It investigates the effects of climate change on labour migration, social protection for informal workers, and economic resilience strategies for women and children. Additionally, it analyzes immobility and adaptation strategies, forced migration, and the role of local government in addressing migration and climate change. Special emphasis is placed on the legal frameworks and policies necessary for effective climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as the principles of green criminology in understanding environmental injustices.

This volume offers valuable insights and recommendations for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to develop holistic climate change mitigation strategies that address the needs of vulnerable communities. It is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of climate change, migration, labour, law, and green criminology.

Addressing a significant gap in the field, Introduction to Religions of the African Diaspora brings together key themes-Africa, the Diaspora, colonialism, race, Black identity, and religion-into one cohesive and accessible volume.
The text draws on over thirty years of the author's experience studying and teaching African and African Diasporan spiritualities and is informed by the recognition that many students arrive in the classroom with limited understanding of cultural and historical contexts-often carrying preconceived notions about Africa and Black people. The author, a Black U.S. scholar, approaches these topics with both personal insight and academic rigor, having personally navigated many of these same misconceptions. This perspective enriches the material, incorporating the history of Black Studies to challenge prevailing assumptions about the African continent and its diasporas.

The book thoughtfully engages with both Western European and U.S. cultural norms, bringing them into conversation with the worldviews and values embedded within African and Diasporan religious traditions. By offering these comparative insights, the text serves as a valuable resource for students across disciplines, including religious studies, international studies, and history.

Designed as an accessible and engaging introduction, the book is ideal for undergraduate courses and provides clear definitions and contextual explanations to support student comprehension. Each chapter is framed with a broad, inclusive lens and acknowledges the diversity of student backgrounds, including those engaged in mission work or service projects by providing them the critical tools needed for thoughtful and respectful engagement with African and diasporic communities.

A robust ethnography of Islamic Relief explores difficult questions about the extensive reach of white supremacy

An ethnography of Islamic Relief (IR), the largest Islamic NGO based in the West, Racializing the Ummah explores how a Muslim organization can do good in a world that defines Muslimness as less than human. Rooted in more than a decade of international research, Rhea Rahman's study on the organization's projects, methods, and limitations reveals how racial capitalism permeates all aspects of humanitarianism.

Beginning with a counterhistory of Muslims in the United Kingdom following World War II, Rahman analyzes IR's mission and transnational activities in and across places including the UK, South Africa, and Mali in the broader context of global white supremacy. She shows how IR's approaches often effectively secularize Islam to evade anti-Muslim racism and Islamophobia, implicating concepts such as the "good" Muslim aid worker, who complies with War on Terror surveillance while attending to victims of Western colonialism. Meanwhile, Rahman theorizes the tactics of aid workers on the ground, who creatively draw on an Islamic Black radical tradition to drive real change.

Through her engagement with IR and other organizations, Rahman paints a frank, nuanced portrait of the constraints Islamic aid entities face in the effort to disentangle themselves from neocolonialism and Western hegemony. Yet she also locates the possibility of escape from the all-encompassing dictates of racial capitalism in alternative visions of doing good-ones that are grounded in Islam as the foundation of a revolutionary praxis.

In this sensitive work, Whyte examines issues and ambiguities within Bonhoeffer's writing-as well as complexities in his biography-that imply gaps in his understanding of the full theological implications of Christ's solidarity with suffering.

Whyte explores how, whilst Bonhoeffer ardently opposed white supremacist oppression enacted by the National Socialists, he also evidenced persistent entanglement with white supremacist logics and primary longings. Bonhoeffer scholars who ignore, miss, or dismiss these entanglements display vulnerability to those same logics.

This book engages with a wide range of thinkers, including: Reggie Williams, Lisa Dahill, Michael Mawson, Katie Cannon, Gustavo Gutierrez, and Keri Day. It also considers the distinct responses to white supremacy offered in the early 20th Century by Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., Pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, and the leadership of the Azusa Street Revival as evidence that Bonhoeffer's view was not the only theological 'view from below'.

Ultimately, Whyte offers a constructive theological ethical method for repentance away from white supremacy that builds on, critiques, and moves beyond Bonhoeffer. This method seeks to overcome the primary longings at the root of white supremacy to better resist the manifestations of white supremacist in our day. This work honors Bonhoeffer whilst seeking to go further along the paths of repentance he walked by addressing issues he did not consider.

This book focuses on global education, and policy reforms for refugee and displaced children, which has ascended in importance due to increased conflict migration worldwide. The synthesis of research evidence suggests that there is great need to understand how host nations, non-governmental organizations, and international development agencies grapple with the challenges and opportunities posed by large refugee or displaced populations, especially in terms of educational provision for children and youth.

The book discusses the strategic directions and shifts in educational policy and practice to address global displacement. It discusses issues such as schooling and citizen identity formation, gender, societal integration (inclusion and exclusion), educational provision, and student marginalization or alienation amid conflict migration and displacement. The book also examines challenges posed by centralization/decentralization, diversity/uniformity, and curriculum standardization issues. It also explores new approaches to further develop and improve educational policy and practice, for refugee and displaced populations in non-Western countries.

Centering the voices and experiences of women of color in community college leadership is a mandate for meaningful institutional change. In doing so, we not only deepen our understanding but also empower a more inclusive and effective leadership model.

This book highlights the perspectives of 17 leaders from diverse backgrounds including African American, Asian Pacific Islander, and Latino/Hispanic communities. By sharing the reflections of current and former community college chancellors and presidents the book enriches our understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by these women leaders. By revealing how they perceive themselves, as well as how they are perceived by their peers, women of color illuminate their experiences as community college leaders, including navigating the intersections of race, ethnicity, and gender.

The book is divided into four parts, with chapters examining the unique pressures faced by women of color leaders in their roles in academia and emphasizing the importance of having a "voice at the table." It considers the dynamics of the proverbial glass ceiling as bent, cracked, broken, or shattered and offers valuable insights from this diverse group of women leaders while crystalizing the "hidden curriculum" that leaders of color must navigate within higher education.

Learn how libraries can develop and use collections, space, resources, and programs to expand racial literacy in their communities.

Libraries are no longer simply providers of basic literacy - they're evolving to meet community needs for an expanding list of literacies: digital, health, information, financial. Racial Literacy in Libraries argues persuasively that libraries need to add racial literacy to that list. Its authors and contributors teach you how to understand and communicate about race and racism.

Since readers are likely to begin with different backgrounds on race, Part One offers a primer written by experts on the science and history of skin color, the invention of race and racism in the United States, and the development of racial identity. Part Two helps librarians bridge the gap between theory and practice. Chapters discuss the important concepts of representation, equity, and access and offer practical examples of how to apply them in libraries, including through collection development. Part Three offers real-life examples of libraries across the country who are bringing racial literacy to their communities through collections, curated resources, and programs. A companion website offers tools you can use right away, whenever you're ready to put your racial literacy learning into practice.

All librarians who want to bring a more bias-free worldview to library work will benefit from this guide to racial literacy.

Women of the Diaspora: Generational Transformations offers fresh insights into the experiences of women who migrated in the aftermath of World War Two.
The contributors examine migration not just as a geographical shift but as a deeply economic, psychological, and intercultural journey-one that profoundly reshaped women's identities and understandings of ethnicity. The volume also explores the lives of the next generation-daughters of diasporic migrants-whose experiences are shaped by a constant negotiation between the cultural traditions of their parents and the values of their new homelands.

This book explores migrant students' struggles for equitable access to higher education in Canada, focusing on a first-of-its-kind bridging program at York University.
Through the concepts of "bordering" and "countering," Villegas and Aberman examine how students excluded due to immigration status resisted systemic barriers by forming supportive classroom communities and challenging dominant narratives. Providing essential insights for educators, policymakers, and advocates seeking to build more inclusive and just higher education systems, this book reveals how everyday acts of resistance can transform exclusion into opportunity and reimagine universities as sanctuaries.

How the "Asian girl" is central to the story of US imperialism and the formation of Asian America

Representations of the "Asian girl" as lucky objects of humanitarian rescue and rehabilitation have been used to advance America's imperial ambitions from World War II to the wars in Korean and Viet Nam. In this compelling work, Sharon N. Tran traces the production and instrumentalization of this figure through an examination of state documents, military newspapers, documentary photographs, and other archival materials. Theorizing "Asian girlhood" as a technology of imperial power, Tran exposes how the Asian girl is invoked as a shield that protects the innocence of US empire while she is excluded from innocence herself - relegated instead to a precarious position between child and adult, human and nonhuman, plaything and laborer.

Offering fresh insight into how imperial power operates, Tran analyzes figures such as the Japanese American school-girl in the context of World War II incarceration, the elusive "camptown girl," and the objectified image of the "Napalm Girl." Her innovative feminist approach interrogates the tendency to reclaim innocence for the Asian girl or to reframe her as an empowered woman. She engages the work of writers and artists such as Kiku Hughes, Nora Okja Keller, Aimee Phan, and le thi diem thuy to demonstrate how Asian American literature offers rich theoretical interventions for critiquing the child-adult dichotomy that underpins key structures of imperial domination, illuminating more capacious conceptions of girlhood.

Restoring the dignity and agency of a figure too often denied both, Asian Girlhood in the Shadows of US Empire is a groundbreaking intersectional contribution to studies of gender, race, childhood, and state power.

This book offers a critical examination of how Black faculty in predominantly white institutions mobilize community cultural wealth to navigate systemic barriers, racial microaggressions, and institutional inequities in higher education.
Building on and extending Tara Yosso's Community Cultural Wealth framework, Melinda Jackson-Jefferson presents a nuanced analysis of six forms of capital-aspirational, linguistic, familial, social, navigational, and resistant-as essential tools of resilience and academic agency. Essential for academic libraries and scholars of critical race theory, educational equity, and faculty diversity, this work contributes original research and actionable strategies to advance structural change and inclusive practices in higher education institutions.

Showcases the lived experiences of racialized women in academia in their respective higher education institutions.

Through a collection of comprehensive, accessible essays, this volume discusses the key challenges that women of color in academia-faculty, administrators, and graduate students-face. The arguments presented in these chapters are based on multi-disciplinary empirical research and theoretical frameworks rooted in a variety of disciplines such as Indigenous studies, social work, psychology, health sciences, and education. This volume offers tangible remedies and approaches to address systemic inequities and promote meaningful institutional change for educators, administrators, and stakeholders in higher education on a national level.

A timely and compelling collection of twenty essays exploring the evolving landscape of Africana Studies in the twenty-first century.

Rooted in the radical legacy of the nation's first Black Studies department, established in 1968 at San Francisco State University, this collection of essays brings together leading voices to engage with the most urgent issues facing people of African descent today.

Drawing from the foundational mission of Africana Studies as a liberatory and community-centered discipline, contributors critically examine how Africana Studies continues to grow as a body of knowledge, theory, and methodology rooted in an African-centered worldview. With sections such as An Afrocentric Approach to Education, Africana Studies in the Digital World, Gendering and Queering Africana Studies, Africana Family Studies, Africana Health and Wellness, and Africana Social Science Research, the book offers a wide-ranging but cohesive exploration of new perspectives, current debates, and future directions in the discipline.

Twenty unique essays address the essential questions: What are the contemporary approaches and innovations shaping Africana Studies? How do Africana Studies scholars address modern challenges while staying grounded in the discipline's original commitment to racial justice, community empowerment, and social transformation?

With a focus on the changing political landscape, this book offers a fresh approach to increasing the HBCU value proposition for the next century.

While HBCUs are individually unique, they have similar missions, audiences, threats, and aspirations. This commonality suggests that they should unify in a way that preserves the identity of each, leverages shared resources, and strengthens their standing as an institution class. In this book, special attention is given to the opportunity for HBCUs to leverage Artificial Intelligence enterprise wide. Written for wide stakeholder engagement, Black College Blueprint proposes that the best way to accomplish collective HBCU advancement is to create an HBCU Consortium and an HBCU Think Tank to help structure and lead a new expression of Black college education nationally and globally.

This open access book explores the dynamics of human agency within the complex context of settlement-oriented immigration through an in-depth case study of immigrants from the former Soviet Union who embarked on their journey to Germany during the 1990s and early 2000s. Employing a transnational lens and an interpretive approach, the book presents a novel empirically grounded Immigrant Agency Theory. Bridging the realms of integration and transnationalism, the Immigrant Agency Theory is a multifaceted analytical tool encompassing representational aspects (identity formations and frameworks), expressive dimensions (language use, multilingual practices, and translanguaging), and operational facets (e.g., contrasting (non)economic actions as entrepreneurship and active leisure). These elements serve as mechanisms facilitating transition, engagement, resistance, and the expression of flexible ethnic boundary-making, cultural pluralism, and the maintenance of difference through auto-exoticism as exemplified by the studied population groups. This monograph is valuable for sociologists, migration scholars, social linguists, researchers of cultural studies and Eastern Europe interested in understanding the correlation between historical events and East-West European migration processes during the transition period of the Soviet and post-Soviet space.

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality.
Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.
