Book Synopsis Migration, Citizenship and Intercultural Relations by : Michele Lobo
Download or read book Migration, Citizenship and Intercultural Relations written by Michele Lobo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration, Citizenship and Intercultural Relations reflects on the tensions and contradictions that arise within debates on social inclusion, arguing that both the concept of social inclusion and policy surrounding it need to incorporate visions of citizenship that value ethnic diversity. Presenting the latest empirical research from Australia and engaging with contemporary global debates on questions of identity, citizenship, intercultural relations and social inclusion, this book unsettles fixed assumptions about who is included as a valued citizen and explores the possibilities for engendering inclusive visions of citizenship in local, national and transnational spaces. Organised around the themes of identity, citizenship and intercultural relations, this interdisciplinary collection sheds light on the role that ethnic diversity can play in fostering new visions of inclusivity and citizenship in a globalised world.
Book Synopsis Intercultural Relations and Migration Processes by : Nadia Rania
Download or read book Intercultural Relations and Migration Processes written by Nadia Rania and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International migration is an increasingly critical issue in the world today. In the international community, individual nations are struggling with the question of how to effectively manage migration. Immigration involves several challenges at the individual level and in the relationship with the host community. Migration is one of the most disorganising individual experiences; it affects identity and wellbeing as migrants negotiate roles and cultural values. At the social level, immigration is related to relevant changes in community life as well as in the use of urban space and social welfare, and involves demographic, educational, and sociological aspects. In our society, various positions make migration a complex phenomenon. The authors intention is to open a dialogue concerning this crucial theme of human existence from the perspective of individual and collective experiences, as well as from the scientific position this phenomenon is analysed. This book proposes several studies about migration and intercultural relationships from multiple viewpoints, and from a multidisciplinary perspective through psychological, educational, sociological, anthropological, historical and geographical approaches. Moreover, the book addresses the main theoretical frameworks that characterise the international debate and analyses intercultural challenges and opportunities that may arise in different areas and at different stages of the life cycle. The main constructs this book addresses are acculturation, negotiation, and integration in various contexts (eg: family, school, etc.,) at different stages of life (e.g., minors, adolescents, parents, etc.). Furthermore, the book reflects on different typologies of migration (eg: refugees, unaccompanied minors, etc.,) and different methodologies to examine the phenomenon (eg: videoethnography, in depth interviewing, questionnaires, territorial and space analysis, etc.,). Intercultural Relations and Migration Processes present a complex, rich picture of these issues and the problems related to the phenomenon, in which experience and national research data are intertwined with the acquisition of experience gained in the international arena.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education by : Barreto, Isabel María Gómez
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education written by Barreto, Isabel María Gómez and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration movements have been a constant in the societies of the past, as well as in postmodern society. However, in the past ten years, the increase in political, economic, and religious conflict amongst nations; the increase of the poverty index; and many and various natural disasters have duplicated the forced displacement of millions of people across the seven continents of the planet. This situation brings important challenges in terms of the vulnerability, inequity, and discrimination that certain peoples suffer. Professionals from the fields of the social sciences, education, psychology, and international law share the fact that education represents an opportunity for children and young migrants to become members with full rights in the societies they arrive in. Empirical studies show that that the implementation of the right to education for migrants presents some challenges and dilemmas to the governments of host countries and more specifically to the education centers, NGOs, universities, and the professionals working in them, hence the need for more research on these issues of immigration, refugees, social justice, and intercultural education. The Handbook of Research on Promoting Social Justice for Immigrants and Refugees Through Active Citizenship and Intercultural Education provides visibility to issues such as the increase in migration and displacement and the difficulties in political agreements, educational contexts, and in cultural issues, stigmatization, vulnerability, social exclusion, racism, and hatred amongst host communities. This book gives possible solutions to this current complex situation and helps foster and promote sensitivity, perspective, and critical thinking for a respectful and tolerant coexistence and promotion of equity and social justice. The chapters promote cultural diversity and inclusion in classrooms by offering knowledge, strategies, and research on organizational development for educational institutions and multicultural environments. This book is essential for administrators, policymakers, leaders, teachers, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the promotion of social justice in education for immigrants and refugees.
Book Synopsis The Intercultural City by : Giovanna Marconi
Download or read book The Intercultural City written by Giovanna Marconi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The resulting cultural differences can often create problems and conflict. In Europe alone, the sheer scale of migration is forcing the issue to the top of the political agenda. The Intercultural City brings together scholars from a range of disciplines - including urban studies, geography, planning, sociology, political science and spatial design - to explore both the failings of existing policies to manage diversity and to examine how one might begin to create ways to remove obstacles and enhance the integration of migrants and minorities. Combining fresh theoretical insights with studies from cities in Europe, North America, Asia and Africa, The Intercultural City offers a timely and important contribution to the challenge of managing diversity in the city of the twenty-first century.

Book Synopsis Governing diversity by : Isabelle Rorive
Download or read book Governing diversity written by Isabelle Rorive and published by Editions de l'Université de Bruxelles. This book was released on 2019-05-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 2000s, the European Union has witnessed a significant change in terms of integration policies for immigrants. This book intends to address the relationship between, on the one hand, cultural diversity resulting from migration, and, on the other hand, social cohesion and social justice within Western societies. In order to do this, the authors examine what can be described as two contradictory trends in recent public policies towards foreign people or people with a foreign origin. A book that aims to provide a trans-disciplinary analysis of the construction of “otherness” in North America and Europe. EXTRAIT In October 2010, in a very polemic context on immigration and immigrant integration, the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, announced that Germany was to be considered a multicultural failure, words that were soon echoed by the Belgian Prime Minister Yves Leterme. A few months later, the British Prime Minister David Cameron and the French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the failure of multiculturalism in almost identical terms. These sensational statements, which by and large avoid defining the concept of multiculturalism, are based on a reaffirmation of “Western values” and strengthening of national identity. These statements express the need to review the policies on integration of immigrants, in the sense that they should be more active and voluntarist, more organized by the state and more supported by the EU. In the background, one can see fear for Islamic extremism, but also the idea that the nation states can put some obligations on immigrants, and that for a too long time we have been focusing on “those who arrive”, rather than on “the society that welcomes them”. These speeches are situated in a politico-legal context that in recent years was characterized by an ambivalent attitude towards diversity in Europe. On the one hand, we have seen accusations of racial, ethnic and religious discrimination, based on antidiscrimination legislation boosted by a strong European equality legal framework. On the other hand, we have seen denouncements of the perceived risk posed by Islam in Europe. These policy statements are also a result of numerous publications, often widely discussed in the media that outline the dangers of Islam in Europe (especially in the Netherlands). These political positions have also led to political decisions demonstrating the lack of legitimacy of Islam in Europe, such as the ban on building minarets in Switzerland or the Burqa bans adopted in the name of protecting national values and the “living together”, notably in France and Belgium (2011).

Book Synopsis Rethinking Second Language Learning by : Marisa Cordella
Download or read book Rethinking Second Language Learning written by Marisa Cordella and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates a project where formal classroom learning of a second language was supplemented with informal, natural interactions with older native speakers of the target language, delivering a number of pedagogical and societal benefits. The authors introduce a model of intergenerational, intercultural encounters which aims to promote the use of community language resources; enrich the experiences of young learners; foster greater understanding between generations; break down cultural stereotypes; encourage appreciation of different cultures and enhance the quality of life and community engagement of older people with a bi/multilingual background. It draws on theories of language acquisition, discourse analysis and psychosocial perspectives to propose a model of language learning for students that can be used for any language or locality. It is therefore an essential resource for graduate students, researchers and language teachers as well as for education, aged and youth care policy makers, practitioners and community services workers who are interested in innovative language pedagogy.
Book Synopsis Family Practices in Migration by : Martha Montero-Sieburth
Download or read book Family Practices in Migration written by Martha Montero-Sieburth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-24 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book places family at the centre of discussions about migration and migrant life, seeing migrants not as isolated individuals, but as relational beings whose familial connections influence their migration decisions and trajectories. Particularly prioritising the voices of children and young people, the book investigates everyday family practices to illuminate how migrants and their significant others do family, parenting or being a child within a family, both transnationally and locally. Themes covered include undocumented status, unaccompanied children’s asylum seeking, adolescents' "dark sides", second generation return migration, home-making, belonging, nationality/citizenship, peer relations and kinship, and good mothering. The book deploys a wide range of methodological approaches and tools (multi-sited ethnographies, participant observation, interviews and creative methods) to capture the ordinary, spatially extended and interpersonal dynamics of migrant family lives. Drawing on a range of cross-cutting disciplines, geographical areas and diversity of levels and types of experiences on part of the editors and authors, this book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of migration, childhood, youth and family studies.

Book Synopsis Citizenship in European Cities by : Karen Kraal
Download or read book Citizenship in European Cities written by Karen Kraal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are relatively few books that provide comparative analysis of European cities in relation to immigrants and political participation. This fresh and insightful volume, from the same team that published Multicultural Policies and Modes of Citizenship in European Cities in 2001, analyzes how the presence of immigrants is perceived in politics, how this affects their status and how far minorities are able to (politically) participate in European cities. The comparative studies address the influence of (minority) politics, as well as that of migrant mediators and ethnic organizations on the participation of minorities. There are a variety of case studies from northern and southern Europe, offering insights into countries that differ in their modes of citizenship. The volume will be of specific interest to scholars, researchers and policy makers in migration, citizenship and multiculturalism, as well as a more general audience of sociologists, political sociologists, political scientists, anthropologists and social geographers.
Book Synopsis Citizenship, Migrant Activism and the Politics of Movement by : Peter Nyers
Download or read book Citizenship, Migrant Activism and the Politics of Movement written by Peter Nyers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-02-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration is an inescapable issue in the public debates and political agendas of Western countries, with refugees and migrants increasingly viewed through the lens of security. This book analyses recent shifts in governing global mobility from the perspective of the politics of citizenship, utilising an interdisciplinary approach that employs politics, sociology, anthropology, and history. Featuring an international group of leading and emerging researchers working on the intersection of migrant politics and citizenship studies, this book investigates how restrictions on mobility are not only generating new forms of inequality and social exclusion, but also new forms of political activism and citizenship identities. The chapters present and discuss the perspectives, experiences, knowledge and voices of migrants and migrant rights activists in order to better understand the specific strategies, tactics, and knowledge that politicized non-citizen migrant groups produce in their encounters with border controls and security technologies. The book focuses the debate of migration, security, and mobility rights onto grassroots politics and social movements, making an important intervention into the fields of migration studies and critical citizenship studies. Citizenship, Migrant Activism and the Politics of Movement will be of interest to students and scholars of migration and security politics, globalisation and citizenship studies.
Book Synopsis ISS 10 Muslims in the West and the Challenges of Belonging by :
Download or read book ISS 10 Muslims in the West and the Challenges of Belonging written by and published by Melbourne Univ. Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensational reporting by the media has led to attitudes that racialise Muslims and frame them as potential threats to national security, placing them outside the circle of trustworthy citizenship. Muslims in the West are increasingly confronted with the pressure of conforming to dominant core values and accepting 'mere tolerance' from society, or else risk exclusion and even hostility when exercising their rights to maintain diverse cultural norms and religious practices. Muslims in the West and the Challenges of Belonging offers not only rigourous accounts of current difficulties, but also new thinking and deeper understanding about race relations and intercultural engagement in multicultural societies. It explores the increasing visibility of Muslim migrants in the West and the implications this has for multicultural co-existence, cultural representations, belonging and inclusive citizenship.
