Football, Migration and Racism examines the complex intersections of racism, antiracism, football, and migration in contemporary global contexts. Drawing from a themed issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies, the volume investigates how race influences football cultures across different national settings.

The collection features empirical studies from West Africa, Czechia, Sweden, Costa Rica, England, and Italy, offering diverse theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding racialisation processes in football. It addresses critical gaps in sports sociology by explicitly connecting football to broader patterns of racial and ethnic relations. Contributors explore racialised stereotypes of African players, media representations, grassroots anti-racism initiatives, and the colonial legacies that continue to shape contemporary football cultures. Each chapter provides detailed analysis of how migration patterns, talent development systems, and institutional practices perpetuate or challenge racial hierarchies within football.

This book will be of great interest to scholars and students in sociology of sport, race and ethnic studies, migration studies, and cultural studies.

Displaced Persons and the Reshaping of American Immigration after World War II traces the journey of U.S. policy toward displaced persons (DPs) in post-war Europe, examining how America transformed from a nation resistant to accepting refugees to one that ultimately created a groundbreaking resettlement program.

Despite initial public apathy and political resistance, America eventually welcomed roughly 400,000 refugees through a nationwide program, reopening the gates of U.S. immigration that had been largely shuttered since the 1920s. This book meticulously examines the factors that drove this remarkable shift: the persistent advocacy of humanitarian champions, the recognition of DPs' potential contributions as workers and community members, and crucially, President Harry Truman's leadership and commitment to human dignity. Through an exploration of legislative battles, implementation challenges, and varying state and local responses, the narrative reveals how America's refugee policy was shaped by competing interests and perspectives. The author provides a balanced understanding of how public policy evolves through denial, delay, and eventual action. It is an instructive story of the makings, workings, and effects of American public policy and one that provides lessons for the advances and reversals of U.S. efforts on behalf of refugees in more recent years.

Essential reading for students of American history, immigration policy, and humanitarian affairs, this book offers valuable insights into the historical precedents of today's refugee debates and the complex interplay between American ideals and practices.

For much of the twentieth century, research on Black families was dominated by narratives of deficits and dysfunction. This groundbreaking book tells a different story-one of strength, resilience, and adaptive processes within Black marriages and families. Drawing on decades of scholarship and original research, it highlights how Black couples and families navigate stress, racism, and adversity through faith, social support, fictive kin networks, and community ties. Through compelling interviews and national data, the book explores themes of hope, forgiveness, relational sanctification, and intergenerational care, offering a powerful reframing of Black family life.

This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in family studies, sociology, and African American studies. It is also highly relevant for anyone seeking to understand the enduring strength and resilience of Black families.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Marriage & Family Review.

Presenting the most comprehensive Black policy agenda produced in a generation, offering concrete, actionable recommendations across every dimension of Black life in America, this book features contributions from over 100 leading scholars, policymakers, and community organizers to transform research into policy action.

Born from the State of the People movement, a national call to action rallying, restoring, and reimagining what's possible for Black communities, The Black Papers: A Policy Agenda for Black Liberation in the 21st Century stands in the lineage of the 1905 Niagara Movement, the 1972 Gary Political Convention, and decades of Black political organizing to address what previous efforts left incomplete: sustained infrastructure for collective liberation. Through 26 rigorously researched policy briefs, the volume covers economic justice, education reform, health equity, democratic governance, criminal justice transformation, environmental justice, reparations, and specialized policy domains. Each chapter provides specific federal, state, and local recommendations, translating complex policy analysis into accessible frameworks for action. The Black Papers deliver what policymakers, organizers, educators, and community members need most: evidence-based roadmaps for systemic change. Contributors include university professors and grassroots activists, former White House officials and community organizers, attorneys and artists-representing the breadth of Black genius and the depth of collective commitment to Black flourishing.

This volume will serve undergraduate and graduate courses in public policy, sociology, African American studies, urban planning, and education while remaining accessible to undergraduate students, advocacy professionals, and general readers. Developed alongside the State of the People Power Tour, which activated grassroots movements in thirteen cities nationwide, the project integrates scholarship with community organizing. Companion digital resources at stateoftheppl.com provide multimedia content, data visualizations, and advocacy tools that extend the book's impact beyond the page.

This book explores how Black-produced films, hip hop songs, and magazines shape the way we think about the African American high school experience. Using critical media literacy as its foundation, the book treats media as a powerful teacher, one that sends messages about race, school, success, and who is expected to thrive.

Rather than seeing these images as harmless entertainment, the book shows how repeated media stories help normalize certain ideas about Black youth and education. Qualitative content analysis is used to closely examine popular films, songs, and magazines, looking for patterns in how Black students are portrayed and what education is said to offer them. Beyond theory and method, the book focuses on real-world impact, calling for transformative storytelling that celebrates the diversity and resilience of African American culture while fostering equity in education and media representation.

Offering tools for educators, parents, media creators, and students to develop critical media literacy skills, challenge harmful stereotypes, and demand more authentic, complex, and empowering representations of Black youth and their educational experiences, this book will interest scholars and students of media studies, film and TV studies, education studies, cultural studies, African American studies, sociology, and communication studies.

In the Shadows of Los Angeles traces the multiple struggles of African Americans, Chicanas/os, and white allies for fair housing and ethnic studies and against police brutality in the East San Gabriel Valley from the late 1950s through the 1970s. They fought for racial integration, equal access to the American dream, and the promise of Black spaces for community, joy, and love as part of a larger movement working toward change within suburban neighborhoods. In defiance of the historical erasure that posits suburbs as solely white spaces, Gilda L. Ochoa details the often-overlooked efforts of activists, including many women and girls of color, who have advocated for their communities against a patriarchal, white-supremacist society across generations-and laid the foundation for contemporary struggles for housing justice and resistance to police brutality.

Every migrant journey reshapes both the people undergoing it and the places it encounters.

This book explores how Lebanese-Australians navigate settlement as they rework the resources they bring and acquire new ones. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research across generations, it highlights the cultural, temporal and generational dimensions of migration, showing how everyday practices shape belonging, identity and social opportunity. The book also extends Bourdieusian theory, emphasizing cultural complexity and the 'pedagogic imperative.'

This is essential reading for sociologists, migration scholars and anyone interested in how migration transforms lives, communities and social fields.

Interpreting the Indigenous South reframes public history as a space of Indigenous authority and self-representation, where communities define how their histories are told, their knowledge preserved, and their relationships to place understood.

In the American South, where Indigenous histories have long been obscured by narratives of disappearance, Native nations are not only present but are actively reclaiming how their stories are told. Drawing on vivid examples from across the region, this book shows how tribal nations have transformed museums, archives, landscapes, and public platforms into instruments of cultural survival and continuity. The book reveals how Indigenous communities are using public history as a living practice to sustain their identities and project their futures. From environmental stewardship and commemorative journeys to digital storytelling and intergenerational teaching, what outsiders may dismiss as performance or tourism emerges as a strategic practice.

By exploring different methodological approaches and providing multiple examples of how tribal communities are involved in the co-production of knowledge and historical interventions, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Native American studies and history, as well as public history practitioners.

Race, Protest, and the Power of the Body in Sport explores how and why athletes use public performance to bring audience's attention to structural racism.

The book it focuses on the case of Colin Kaepernick and his decision to take the knee, which eventually became a global gesture for bringing attention to structural racism. In doing so, the book provides the reader with a clear understanding of how audiences respond to athlete activists in the US and in global contexts who seek to bring their attention to structural issues. Through the central case study of taking the knee, the book analyses how Kaepernick was able to bring attention to structural racism, and why taking the knee eventually became a global gesture for bringing attention to police brutality. The book also situates taking the knee in a history of athlete activism to recognise patterns in public response to athlete activism and suggests why different performative features can reduce the hostility athlete activists face.

This book is intended for students and scholars interested in athlete activism, sports, and how sports fans respond to activism.

Waiting as a Racialised Phenomenon offers a powerful and original account of the lives of migrants from East, West, North, and Sub-Saharan Africa in Tuerkiye, grounded in rich ethnographic research. Challenging dominant understandings of waiting as a neutral or purely temporal condition, the book argues that waiting is a deeply racialised process shaped by migration governance, labour regimes, and spatial marginalisation.

Moving beyond conventional accounts of migration as a linear journey, it reveals how migrants live through prolonged periods of uncertainty, suspension, and constrained mobility. These experiences vary significantly, shaped by the intersections of race, migration status, class, gender, religion, and the social spaces migrants inhabit. In this context, waiting operates as a governance tool that reinforces inequality, shaping access to employment, housing, and participation in society. At the same time, the book foregrounds migrants' agency, showing how they navigate these conditions by building networks of solidarity, care, and mutual support. Waiting thus emerges not only as a form of domination but also as a space where resilience and collective strategies of survival take shape. The book ultimately provides a new conceptual tool with which to explore the links between waiting and racism in the context of the global South, arguing that waiting is a racialised phenomenon which can lead to additional exploitation.

This innovative and timely book will appeal to academics and post-graduate students with interests in migration and borders, race and racism, temporality and the politics of time, anthropology, and international development.

Following the last war, after the revelation of Nazi crimes and the Holocaust, a powerful school of thought, championed by "a small but vocal group of researchers" (who have become increasingly numerous and vocal), attempted to definitively discredit racism by arguing that the concept of race had no biological basis and therefore that racism was nonsensical. This has been called "an absolute paradigmatic shift". However, many scientists today continue to use human continental populations as units of analysis ("proxies") in numerous studies, particularly in the biomedical field, resorting (not always) to unsatisfactory euphemisms ("ethnic groups," "ancestry groups," "geographic populations") to avoid the term of "race". A recent trend (David Reich, Harvard University, Pierre-Andre Taguieff, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France) is to consider that the dismissal of the concept of biological race was premature and could be challenged by current genomic data ("race realists").

The present book offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in biology (genetics, genomics, evolution, epigenetics, paleogenomics) in the study of the biological variability of past and present human populations. I propose that the question of the existence or non-existence of human races is poorly framed, as it is to a large extent a matter of definitions. I emphasize that it is dangerous to base antiracism on scientific data that is inherently provisional and fluctuating. I advocate a mutual respect ("reciprocal sanctuarization") between science, on the one hand, and ethics and politics, on the other. Ethics and politics should not interfere with the scientific process, which is based on the rational analysis of objective data. It is dangerous to assume that a scientific theory is necessarily false simply because it appears scandalous from the perspective of the prevailing morality, which is notoriously variable depending on time and place. Such an a priori condemnation based on morality, rather than on scientific arguments, was the fate of heliocentrism (Nicolaus Copernicus), the theory of evolution (Charles Darwin), the hypothesis of the antiquity of humankind (Jacques Boucher de Perthes), and the concept of childhood sexuality (Sigmund Freud). Conversely, while scientific data must be open to free discussion, societal choices ultimately rest on ethical and political considerations, regardless of scientific findings, and in accordance with the values of the society in question. Antiracism, in our society, is one of these key values. Rather than a scientific statement, it is a moral stance and a political choice, which decision-makers must enforce with the full force of the law. "Racism is not an opinion, it is a crime". The principle of mutual respect ("reciprocal sanctuarization") that I propose can constitute a sound basis for such a renewed antiracism, far more so than a "scientific antiracism" that imprudently relies on scientific data, which is inherently unpredictable and provisional.

This book adopts a triangulated approach to explore the complexity of migration discourses, bringing together argumentation analysis and corpus linguistics to the study of the "European refugee" crisis.

Drawing on a corpus with data from across British, Polish, and Spanish newspapers, Zawadzka-Paluektau explores how migration from Asia and Africa to Europe over the 2015-2018 period was conceptualised as a period of crisis for Europe. This volume makes the case for a triangulated approach to understanding these dynamics more fully with its combination of robust quantitative corpus-based studies and richly detailed qualitative discourse analysis. Zawadzka-Paluektau uses this perspective to draw readers' attention to recurring patterns in how refugees were represented in the European press across geographic contexts but also differences owing to extra-linguistic factors, including historical, cultural, and sociopolitical factors. In light of growing forced displacement and migration "crises" globally, this volume offers important insights into the study of immigration discourses in Europe and beyond and future directions for further research.

This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, political discourse, media discourse, and migration studies.

In The Attention Gap in College Sports, Joshua Woods delves deeply into data on social media activity among college teams and college athletes and critically examines the ways attention-and attempts to gain it-are reconfiguring power and profit in college sports.

Since a landmark ruling in collegiate athletics granted student athletes the right to profit from their name, image and likeness (NIL), thousands have pursued endorsement deals and business ventures. Important shifts in the time since have accelerated the rise of what this book refers to as an "attention economy," wherein the value placed on athletic performance and success has moved perceptibly online and toward public visibility and influence. The chapters in this book seek explanations for the uneven distribution of NIL opportunities and how these are driven, in part, by gender and race. This book also considers the broader ways in which these opportunities are reshaping college sports, fan engagement and athlete well-being. This book's analysis theorizes the relationships between attention capital and other forms of capital, building a sociological perspective on attention, why it matters in the field of college sports and its far-reaching implications in other fields and across society.

Grounded in its command of social media data and its discerning view, The Attention Gap in College Sports is a valuable look at consequential issues happening within college sports. Its important discoveries about social media use in this competitive landscape contribute meaningfully to conversations about sport and society, sports media, and sports business and management.

Drawing on the influence of Collins' Black Feminist Thought, this book explores how Latinx feminists create theories about intersecting inequalities via their social movement practices-particularly as these relate to reproductive justice.

Many people in the United States associate reproductive politics primarily with the contentious debates surrounding abortion and contraceptive access. Yet, Rocio R. Garcia argues the United States also has a persistent preoccupation with the reproductive lives of people of Latin American descent, evidenced in debates about undocumented immigration and birthright citizenship, the politics regarding social services to help Latinx families out of poverty, and past and contemporary examples of the coerced sterilization of Puerto Rican and Mexican-origin Latinxs, among many other issues. At the intersections of these reproductive inequalities are a growing group of Latinx feminists in the movement for reproductive justice-a social movement across the United States led by women of color who equally fight for everyone's human right to have a child, to not have a child, and to parent in safe and healthy conditions. Latinx feminists in the reproductive justice movement mobilize against reproductive inequalities by addressing how the intersections of racism, colonialism, sexism, classism, and other systems of oppression shape Latinxs reproductive lives. In the process, Latinx feminists reveal that reproductive politics are far more expansive and complex than often imagined-that reproduction, just like life, is messy. Drawing on ethnographic data and interviews with Latinx feminists in the movement for reproductive justice in California, Garcia reveals how Latinx feminist theories are cultivated in social movements contexts in the pursuit of justice, dignity, and social transformation. Garcia focuses on the cultural processes by which Latinx feminists make politics as they navigate the simultaneity of inequalities to expand understandings of reproduction by centering Latinx feminist thinking.

An essential read for students, scholars, and practitioners in post-colonial studies, gender and sexuality studies, reproductive health care, and Latin American studies, Latinx Feminist Thought invites us all to recognize the necessity of Latinx feminist knowledge to lean into the messiness of being human and make new worlds invested in reproductive justice for all.

Synthetic Hate investigates how extremists exploit artificial intelligence (AI) to modernize the world's oldest hatred. Antisemitism - rooted in religious discrimination, medieval blood libels, Nazi propaganda, and contemporary Islamist and far-right conspiracies - has found new life through generative tools that can produce persuasive text, images, audio, and video at scale.

Drawing on documented cases and controlled demonstrations, the book shows how large language models (LLMs), deepfakes, bots, and recommendation systems enable cheap, rapid, and adaptive propaganda - memes that evade moderation, fabricated "evidence," synthetic voices, and narrative laundering that spreads across platforms and into mainstream feeds. The result is not "new" hate, but hate that is faster, more convincing, and harder to police.

Crucially, Synthetic Hate goes beyond diagnosis, and it lays out a practical counterstrategy of technical safeguards, platform accountability and regulation, and education and resilience, so policymakers, researchers, and practitioners can blunt AI-amplified antisemitism and hate without sacrificing democratic values.

Far from the Model Minority centers the voices of five undocumented and mixed-status Chinese immigrant families in New York City and their sending communities in Fuzhou, China. Challenging dominant narratives about Chinese Americans and the model-minority myth, these families have experienced multigenerational exclusion from educational pathways and developed mobility strategies focused on attaining "face."

In China, low social standing led them to prioritize immigration and remittance work over education, as overseas success became the primary way to garner face. Yet in the United States, undocumented status and poverty created new barriers to their and their children's acculturation, and the intersection of undocumented life and the culture of remittances often undermined the intended face gain for families back home and reinforced social stagnation. Based on four years of ethnographic research, Jia-Lin Liu's work explores how these transnational families respond to enduring structural exclusions by reimagining achievement and dignity across borders.

Ghosts of Bandung makes the major new argument that the fates of the Black and Palestinian revolutions were bound together through the rise and fall of a larger Third World political project. Drawing on English and Arabic archives, Derek A. Ide shows how Afro-Arab solidarities shaped and were shaped by geopolitics and grand strategy. Through biographical vignettes of forgotten figures and underexplored groups, Ghosts of Bandung interweaves the histories of movement dynamics and those of contending states in the global Cold War. This story binds the United States and the Middle East-Detroit and Damascus, Oakland and Algiers-while spanning the globe. From the Sino-Soviet split to the Beijing-Jakarta Axis, this global retelling of Black Power and the Palestinian Revolution engages China, Cuba, Ghana, Indonesia, Jordan, and others. At the heart of this broader project is the hitherto untold story of CONEFO, Indonesian President Sukarno's attempt to construct an alternative United Nations-like organization in Jakarta. Centering on 1965 and the collapse of CONEFO, Ide links the fates of Black Power and the Palestinian Revolution to the fall of Third Worldism and the "Bandung Spirit."

Reframing the cultural narrative of Asian American motherhood-through these mothers' own voices and experiences.

The high stakes of motherhood today go beyond who qualifies as a good or bad mother, to who belongs and who is other. For Asian American mothers, these judgments have often been shaped by the enduring stereotype of the strict, academically driven "tiger mother."

In Not Tiger Moms, Miliann Kang explores the racist, xenophobic roots of this trope and how it undermines Asian American mothers, silencing their voices and inhibiting their connections to their children, to each other, and to other mothers, including their own. Through deeply personal and candid interviews, Asian American mothers who were born or grew up predominantly in the United States share stories that upend perceptions of them as both model minority reproducers and foreign threats. Instead, they chart new pathways to and through motherhood, imagining more expansive possibilities not only for Asian American mothers, but for all mothers.

Intersectionality as Epistemic Resistance is the first collection of scholarly essays devoted to the work of Patricia Hill Collins, one of the most influential Black feminist thinkers of her generation. Bringing together philosophers and political theorists, the volume takes stock of Collins's enduring theory of intersectionality and her impact on critical theory.

After an introduction by coeditors Amy Allen and Eduardo Mendieta situating Collins's work within debates about intersectionality and critical theory, the volume opens with a substantial, previously unpublished essay by Collins. In it, she reflects on her intellectual and political praxis amid contemporary political turbulence, emphasizing the need to guard intersectionality against cooptation and dilution. Subsequent chapters explore how her work reshapes core concepts in critical theory, examining its relationship to the Frankfurt School and Indigenous theory as well as its significance for environmental philosophy and Black politics. The book concludes with a new essay in which Collins responds to her interlocutors and reflects on what it means to practice critical social theory at a moment when critical thought itself is under pressure.

An indispensable resource for students and scholars of critical theory, feminist philosophy, Black feminism, and intersectionality, this volume serves as a compelling introduction to Collins's thought and its continuing relevance.

In addition to Collins and the editors, the contributors to this volume include Kanisha D. Bond, William Paris, Maria Pia Lara, Nancy Tuana, and Sarah Tyson.

How policing has fundamentally shaped the Latinx experience.

The history of Latinx groups in the United States has been marked, from the beginning, by experiences of criminalization and violence at the hands of law enforcement. Marisol LeBron argues that policing has left an indelible mark on Latinx communities across the country and has come to shape our understanding of what it means to be Latinx.

Spanning the nineteenth century to the present, Policed examines how policing became a key component in the formation of Latinx identity and political consciousness, and still lies at the heart of many pressing issues confronting Latinx communities today, including immigration, employment, health, and housing. More than simply telling a story of police brutality and harassment, LeBron powerfully shows that Latinx people have continually resisted state violence and worked to build a more liberated future.

Black Women in the U.S. Economy: The Hardest Working Woman explores the impact of economic, structural, and policy changes since the 1970s on the status and well-being of Black women in the U.S. It examines the rise in income and wealth inequality and subsequent economic downturns on Black women and their families given the changing relationship between the state, markets, and families over this period of time.

The book assembles an interdisciplinary group of scholars who use Black Feminist frameworks along with applied microeconomics and econometrics to understand the multiple identities, roles, and experiences of Black women in the U.S. economy. The Hardest Working Woman is divided into three sections: 1) Black Women in the Market Economy, 2) Family and Community, and 3) Politics, Public Policy and Its Effects. The chapters are designed to stand alone or complement each other, offering a broad overview of Black women's work. The aim of this book is to challenge the popular rhetoric about Black women's work experiences, economic status, and role in providing for and sustaining their families and communities.

This important and illuminating study will be essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Black women's experiences within the political economy, as well as all those with an interest in Economics, Women's Studies, Africana Studies, Sociology, Political Science and Public Policy.

Race and Gender in the US Economy is the first economic and legal analysis of the economic status of women and Asian, Black, and Latinx Americans in the United States. Building on his decades of expertise, Gerald Jaynes argues that many economists undervalue the impact that changing antidiscrimination laws had on the behavioral norms of the American people as men and women fought to end discrimination in America's markets and other institutions. These fights often happened outside the economic marketplace-in courts, legislative bodies, and social institutions-and succeeded in improving the economic status of people of color and women.

Blending economic reasoning and data with bold historical narrative, this book examines the changing economic status of minoritized groups within the context of developing constitutional law, extending from the Thirteenth Amendment's abolition of slavery to and beyond the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Jaynes provides readers with an insightful new way of looking at long-standing issues concerning the effectiveness of political action in determining economic gains.

Offers a new theory of repair as refiguration through Shia Ismaili Muslim life in North America

Wars and forced migration disrupt people's sense of continuity in time and place, leaving them out of sync with dominant histories and imagined futures. Thinking Past Crisis examines how Shia Ismaili Muslims in North America have navigated such dislocations across the decades following migrations from East Africa, Central and South Asia, and other sites of Ismaili memory.

Rather than treating repair as return or restoration, Shenila Khoja-Moolji draws on Ismaili cultural and community-making practices from 1970 to 2025 to conceptualize repair as refiguration: a spiritual and cultural praxis through which communities reorganize memory, time, and place so that life remains possible amid rupture. Through the work of itinerant preachers, singer-songwriters, educators, novelists, and archivists, Ismailis create new ways of remembering the past and imagining the future. They multiply historical timelines, pluralize religious aesthetics, build solidarity with other minoritized communities, retell the past to confront trauma, and sustain connections across transnational circuits.

At the center of these practices are Ismaili understandings of the nur (light) of Imamat, a source of continuity amid upheaval, along with an ethic of tawhid (oneness), justice, and one jamat (community). By tracing these practices, Thinking Past Crisis reframes repair as a form of ethical obligation, communal care, and place-based responsibility.

Centering a minority Muslim community often left at the margins of scholarship on Islam, the book reorients debates on crisis, migration, memory, and repair in Islamic studies, migration studies, and American religious history.

Aging, Migration, and Digital Technologies explores how processes of migration and aging are entangled with digital practices in the contexts of the Nordic countries (Sweden and Finland) and Japan. At the forefront of the digitalization of welfare services and the permeation of digital communication more generally, these regions provide a compelling lens through which to explore the shared and divergent experiences of aging, migration, and transnational families in a digital context.

Drawing on empirical case studies, this volume investigates the transformative effects of digital technologies on the experiences of older migrants and their interactions with aging native populations. Chapters examine diverse migrant populations of varied regional, national, and linguistic backgrounds, encompassing those shaped by colonial histories, refugee programs, and labor, marriage, and professional mobility. The book critically addresses cultural differences in the definitions of care, help, and mediation and examines how these notions have been reshaped by both migration and digital technologies. Simultaneously, it evaluates the extent to which digitalized welfare services enable social inclusion or whether they act as a barrier that exacerbates inequalities, offering a nuanced analysis of their role in shaping the aging trajectory.

Applying a cross-country comparative framework across diverse ethnic groups, the book underscores the need to further refine the analytical potential of the aging migrant category and advance the migration-aging-technology triad as a robust framework for understanding these phenomena. It will therefore appeal to scholars, researchers, and students of the sociology of migration, aging, digitalization, and welfare, as well as policymakers and practitioners in social services and integration.

The remarkable journey of a group of Black emigrants from the American South to Liberia after emancipation

In October 1865, six months after the Civil War ended, more than one hundred of the Black residents of Lynchburg, Virginia, left their homes to cross the ocean and begin their lives anew. Their destination was Liberia. They risked everything for the chance to live as full citizens, educate their children, own land, and make a good living-all of which they felt they stood a better chance to do outside the United States, despite their newfound freedom. Why did they leave so soon after the dream of emancipation had finally been realized? And what happened when they ultimately disembarked in West Africa? Out of Virginia tells their story.

In this deeply researched and powerfully written book, Joe Stinnett explores the complex motivations and circumstances that compelled hundreds of Black Virginians to leave the United States and recounts in vivid detail the world they encountered and how they fared after their arrival in Liberia. It also demonstrates in a way few books have done before the local, grassroots nature of the expatriation movement in nineteenth-century America. Above all, Stinnett underscores the depth of determination asserted by Black individuals and families to decide their future for themselves, regardless of the consequences.

Traces of Intimacy charts the shifting racial ideas about Native Americans and Mexican Americans from the Gold Rush to the age of mass incarceration. Developing a reading practice that illuminates how both groups navigated their proximity to each other amid settler colonialism and legal and cultural change, this book provides a relational history of Native and Mexican American racialization. Focusing on the entangled Sierra borderlands of Nevada and California, Jedediah H. Kuhn reads across histories, archives, and cultural texts to reveal that, despite their divergence as racial categories, Native and Mexican Americans have lived intimately as lovers, friends, neighbors, and rivals. As Kuhn demonstrates, these communities have strategically affirmed or denied their intimate connection to survive colonization. Through a series of case studies expanding how we think about intimacy-as recognition, sex, family, imagination, and violence-Kuhn presents a new way of understanding Native and Mexican Americans' deeply entwined pasts, presents, and futures.
