Book Synopsis Situating Children of Migrants across Borders and Origins by : Claudio Bolzman
Download or read book Situating Children of Migrants across Borders and Origins written by Claudio Bolzman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access wide-ranging collation of papers examines a host of issues in studying second-generation immigrants, their life courses, and their relations with older generations. Tightly focused on methodological aspects, both quantitative and qualitative, the volume features the work of authors from numerous countries, from differing disciplines, and approaches. A key addition in a corpus of literature which has until now been restricted to studying the childhood, adolescence and youth of the children of immigrants, the material includes analysis of longitudinal and transnational efforts to address challenges such as defining the population to be studied, and the difficulties of follow-up research that spans both time and geographic space. In addition to perceptive reviews of extant literature, chapters also detail work in surveying the children of immigrants in Europe, the USA, and elsewhere. Authors address key questions such as the complexities of surveying each generation in families where parents have migrated and left children in their country of origin, and the epistemological advances in methodology which now challenge assumptions based on the Westphalian nation-state paradigm. The book is in part an outgrowth of temporal factors (immigrants’ children are now reaching adulthood in more significant numbers), but also reflects the added sophistication and sensitivity of social science surveys. In linking theoretical and methodological factors, it shows just how much the study of these second generations, and their families, can be enriched by evolving methodologies.This book is open access under a CC BY license
Book Synopsis Migration Vulnerability by : Marius Olivier
Download or read book Migration Vulnerability written by Marius Olivier and published by African Sun Media. This book was released on 2024-09-10 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title explores the urgent and often overlooked issue of social protection for migrant workers, focusing on Africa's rapidly evolving migration landscape. As international labour migration continues to surge due to both push and pull factors, this book delves into the social protection deficits experienced by three key migrant groups: high-skilled professionals, informal economy workers, and those impacted by climate change. Organised into 15 insightful chapters, the book offers a cross-disciplinary examination of these challenges, drawing on perspectives from law, economics, social development, and environmental studies. By highlighting the limited access to social security benefits faced by these groups, it presents a compelling case for the need for robust policy interventions. This authoritative volume not only fills a critical gap in this research but also serves as a vital resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners dedicated to improving the welfare and security of migrants in Africa and beyond.
Book Synopsis Learning, Migration and Intergenerational Relations by : Pia Jolliffe
Download or read book Learning, Migration and Intergenerational Relations written by Pia Jolliffe and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the Karen people in Burma, Thailand and the United Kingdom, this book analyses how global, regional and local developments affect patterns of learning. It combines historical and ethnographic research to explore the mutual shaping of intergenerational relations and children’s practical and formal learning within a context of migration and socio-political change. In this endeavour, Pia Jolliffe discusses traditional patterns of socio-cultural learning within Karen communities as well as the role of Christian missionaries in introducing schooling to the Karen in Burma and in Thailand. This is followed by an analysis of children’s migration for education in northern Thailand where state schools often encourage students’ aspirations towards upward social mobility at the same time as schools reproduce social inequality between the rural Karen and urban Thai society. The author draws attention to international humanitarian agencies who deliver education to refugees and migrants at the Thai-Burma border, as well as the role of UK government schools in the process of resettling Karen refugees. In this way, the book analyses the connections between learning, migration and intergenerational relations in households, schools and other institutions at the local, regional and global level.

Book Synopsis African Immigrant Traders in Inner City Johannesburg by : Inocent Moyo
Download or read book African Immigrant Traders in Inner City Johannesburg written by Inocent Moyo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-14 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contests the negative portrayal of African immigrants as people who are not valuable members of South African society. They are often perceived as a threat to South Africa and its patrimony, accused of committing crime, taking jobs and competing for resources with South African citizens. Unique in its deployment of a deconstructionist theoretical and analytical framework, this work argues that this is a simplistic portrayal of a complex reality. Inocent Moyo lays bare, not only the failings of an exclusivist narrative of belonging, but also a complex social reality around migration and immigration politics, belonging and exclusion in contemporary South Africa. Over seven chapters he introduces new perspectives on the negative portrayal of African immigrants and argues that to sustain a negative view of them as the ‘threatening other’ ignores complex people-place-space dynamics. For these reasons, the analytical, empirical and theoretical value of the project is that it broadens the study of migration related contexts in a South African setting. Academics, students, policy makers and activists focusing on the migration and immigration debate will find this book invaluable.
