Book Synopsis Finding Ways Through Eurospace by : Joris Schapendonk
Download or read book Finding Ways Through Eurospace written by Joris Schapendonk and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying the im/mobility trajectories of West Africans in the EU, this book presents a new approach to West African migrants in Europe. It argues that a migration lens is not necessarily the best starting point to understand these dynamic im/mobility processes. Rather than seeing migrancy as the primary marker of their lives, this book positions these trajectories in a wider social script of mobility and discusses how African migrants are confronted with rigid mobility regimes, but also how they manage to transgress and circumvent them.
Book Synopsis Finding Home in Europe by : Luis Eduardo Pérez Murcia
Download or read book Finding Home in Europe written by Luis Eduardo Pérez Murcia and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together the voices of nine individuals from an archive of over two hundred in-depth interviews with transnational migrants and refugees across five European countries, Finding Home in Europe critically engages with how home is experienced by those who move among changing social and cultural constraints. Highly conscious of the political strength of their voices, migrants and asylum seekers speak out loud to the authors, as this volume seeks to challenge the narrative that these people are ‘out of place’ or cannot claim their right to belong.
Book Synopsis Navigating the European Migration Regime by : Anna Wyss
Download or read book Navigating the European Migration Regime written by Anna Wyss and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2022-08-29 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND. Amid the heavy politicisation and problematisation of male migrants in Europe, this ethnographic study casts new light on their experiences, struggles and everyday resistance. The author follows the journeys of those who seek, but have little hope of achieving, permanent residence status in European countries, tracking their successive migrations, detentions and deportations within and beyond the continent. She explores migrants’ tactics, the impact of precarity on their lives and the dual feelings of enduring hope and powerless vulnerability they experience. This is a sensitive and insightful analysis of how the European migration regime shapes, and is shaped by, migrants’ practices.

Book Synopsis We are All Africans Here by : Kristín Loftsdóttir
Download or read book We are All Africans Here written by Kristín Loftsdóttir and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is often described as "flooded" by migrants or by Muslim "others," with Western African men especially portrayed as a security risk. At the same time the intensified mobility of privileged people in the Global North is celebrated as creating an increasingly cosmopolitan world. This book looks critically at racialization of mobility in Europe, anchoring the discussion in the aspiration of precarious migrants from Niger in Belgium and Italy. The book contextualizes their experiences within the ongoing securitization of mobility in their home country and the persistent denial of racism and colonialism that seeks to portray the innocence of Europe.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Translocal Development and Global Mobilities by : Annelies Zoomers

This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely Handbook demonstrates that global linkages, flows and circulations merit a more central place in theorization about development. Calling for a mobilities turn, it challenges the sedentarist assumptions which still underlie much policy making and planning for the future.
Book Synopsis Revisiting Migrant Networks by : Elif Keskiner
Download or read book Revisiting Migrant Networks written by Elif Keskiner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides new conceptualisations on the networks of migrants and their descendants in accessing the labour market. Although references to social networks are common in discussions of migration, simplified ideas of co-ethnic networks often obscure the reality, for example confounding ties with co-ethnics and 'strong ties'. This open access book addresses key questions about the role of networks in migration contexts, particularly in relation to how migrants and their descendants, access the labour market and develop their employment trajectories over time. Rather than adopting a narrow essentializing ethnic lens, the research presented in this book explores intersectional identities of class, generation and gender. By focusing on the kinds of capital circulating between ties, including the dark side of social capital, the book offers insights into power dynamics and the potentially exclusionary dimension of networks. Taking a long term view, across generations, the research in this book shows how migrants and their descendants mobilize resources to tackle discrimination and enhance their position within particular labour markets. Drawing on robust quantitative and rich qualitative data, this book provides a primary source to students, scholars and policy-makers focusing on issues of migration, social networks, social mobility as well as labour market inequalities.
Book Synopsis Migration in the Making of the Gulf Space by : Antia Mato Bouzas
Download or read book Migration in the Making of the Gulf Space written by Antia Mato Bouzas and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining visual and literary analyses and original ethnographic studies as part of a more general political reflection, Migration in the Making of Gulf Space examines the role of migrants and non-citizens in the processes of settling in the Arab States of the Gulf region. The contributions underscore the aspirational character of the Gulf as a place where migrant recognition can be attained while also reflecting on practices of exclusion. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars and includes an original contribution by the acclaimed author of the novel Temporary People, Deepak Unnikrishnan.
Book Synopsis The Handbook of Displacement by : Peter Adey
Download or read book The Handbook of Displacement written by Peter Adey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 817 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook provides the knowledge and tools needed to understand how displacement is lived, governed, and mediated as an unfolding and grounded process bound up in spatial inequities of power and injustice. The handbook ensures, first, that internal displacements and their everyday (re)occurrences are not overlooked; second, it questions ‘who counts’ by including ‘displaced’ people who are less obviously identifiable and a clearly circumscribed or categorised group; third, it stresses that while displacement suggests mobility, there are also periods and spaces of enforced stillness that are not adequately reflected in the displacement literature; and fourth, it re-evokes and explores the ‘place’ in displacement by critically interrogating peoples’ ‘right to place’ and the significance of placemaking, unmaking, and remaking in the contemporary world. The 50-plus chapters are organised across seven themes designed to further develope interdisciplinary study of the technologies, journeys, traces, governance, more-than-human, representation, and resisting of displacement. Each of these thematic sections begin with an intervention which spotlights actions to creatively and strategically intervene in displacement. The interventions explore myriad meanings and manifestations of displacement and its contestation from the perspective of displaced people, artists, writers, activists, scholar-activists, and scholars involved in practice-oriented research. The Handbook will be an essential companion for academics, students, and practitioners committed to forging solidarity, care, and home in an era of displacement.
Book Synopsis Tangled Mobilities by : Asuncion Fresnoza-Flot
Download or read book Tangled Mobilities written by Asuncion Fresnoza-Flot and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-07-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emotional, social, and economic challenges faced by migrants and their families are interconnected through complex decisions related to mobility. Tangled Mobilities examines the different crisscrossing and intersecting mobilities in the lives of Asian migrants, their family members across Asia and Europe, and the social spaces connecting these regions. In exploring how the migratory process unfolds in different stages of migrants’ lives, the chapters in this collected volume broaden perspectives on mobility, offering insight into the way places, affects, and personhood are shaped by and connected to it.

Download or read book Liminal Moves written by Flavia Cangià and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving, slowing down, or watching others moving allows people to cross physical, symbolic, and temporal boundaries. Exploring the imaginative power of liminality that makes this possible, Liminal Moves looks at the (im)mobilities of three groups of people - street monkey performers in Japan, adolescents writing about migrants in Italy, and men accompanying their partners in Switzerland for work. The book explores how, for these ‘travelers’, the interplay of mobility and immobility creates a ‘liminal hotspot’: a condition of suspension and ambivalence as they find themselves caught between places, meanings and times.
Download or read book Pacing Mobilities written by Vered Amit and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turning the attention to the temporal as well as the more familiar spatial dimensions of mobility, this volume focuses on the momentum for and temporal composition of mobility, the rate at which people enact or deploy their movements as well as the conditions under which these moves are being marshalled, represented and contested. This is an anthropological exploration of temporality as a form of action, a process of actively modulating or responding to how people are moving rather than the more usual focus in mobility studies on where they are heading.
Book Synopsis Children, Education and Geography by : Lauren Hammond
Download or read book Children, Education and Geography written by Lauren Hammond and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the intersections between children, education and geography. With a particular focus on children’s geographies and geographies of education, the book draws upon cutting-edge research to consider how geographical education can be enhanced through increased engagement with these fields. The book is underpinned by the position that the lives of children and young people are inherently geographical, as are educational institutions, systems and processes. The volume explores the ways in which the diverse relationships between children, education and geography can enrich research and work with, and for, children and young people. Chapters in this book consider how in/justices are (re)produced through education. Chapters also explore how insights generated by thinking in, and across, geography and education can be used to support and empower young people in both formal education and in their everyday lives. Ultimately, this book is written for children and young people. Not as the readership, but as people, often marginalised in decision making at a variety of scales in education, and who, we contend should be at the heart of all educational thinking. The book is of value to undergraduate and post graduate students interested in geography education and children’s geographies, as well as teachers of geography, both new and experienced.
Book Synopsis Onward Migration and Multi-Sited Transnationalism by : Jill Ahrens
Download or read book Onward Migration and Multi-Sited Transnationalism written by Jill Ahrens and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book brings novel perspectives to the scholarship on transnational migration. The book stresses the complexity of migration trajectories and proposes multi-sited field studies to capture this complexity. Its constituent chapters offer examples of onward migration spanning all major world regions. The contents exemplify a range of interdisciplinary approaches, including both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The result is an impressive remapping and reconceptualisation of global migration and mobility, of interest to students and policy-makers alike.
Book Synopsis African Perspectives on South–South Migration by : Meron Zeleke
Download or read book African Perspectives on South–South Migration written by Meron Zeleke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the diverse and dynamic forms of migration within Africa. Centring themes of agency, resource flows, and transnational networks, the book examines the enduring appeal of the Global South as a place of origin, transit, and destination. Popular media, government pronouncements, and much of the global research discourse continue to be oriented towards migration from the Global South to the Global North, despite the fact that the vast majority of migration is South-South. This book moves beyond these mischaracterisations and instead distinctly focuses on the agency of African migrants and the creative strategies they employ while planning their routes within and across the African continent. Case studies explore the flow of resources such as people, money, skills, and knowledge throughout the continent, while also casting a light on the lived experiences of migrants as they negotiate their sometimes precarious and vulnerable positions. Underpinned by intensive empirical studies, this book challenges prevailing narratives and provides a new way of thinking about South-South Migration. Composed by a majority of scholars from the Global South, the book will be crucial reading for researchers, students, and policy makers with a focus on South-South Migration, Migration and Inequalities, Migration and Development, and Refugee and Humanitarian Studies.
Book Synopsis Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders by : Petra Danková
Download or read book Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders written by Petra Danková and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-01-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders: Social Work, Migration Management and Resistance addresses the topics of social work and international migration, with specific focus on the consequences of EU border externalization policies. The increasingly authoritarian character of EU border management raises a number of issues related to the role of social work within a context that is heavily charged, both ideologically and politically. After theoretically and historically contextualizing externalization with explicit attention to (neo)colonial genealogies of the current migration regimes, this book examines the complex inter-relations of social workers with key actors, namely mobile people, policy makers or funders. Particular attention is paid to the socio-economic and political impacts of the global Covid-19 pandemic on social work with variously categorized people moving across borders or immobilized incamps. Finally, the book explores how social workers and refugees resist violent migration controls and increasing criminalization of cross-border movements. This volume brings together contributions located in the so-called countries of origin and transit targeted by EU externalization interventions, as well as EU countries, in which social workers deal with the effects of border externalization and internalization.
