Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipino migrants constitute one of the largest global diasporas today. In Australia, Filipino settlement is markedly framed by the country’s on-going nation-building project that continues to racialise immigrants and delineate the possibilities and limits of belonging to the national community. This book explores the ways in which Filipino migrants in Australia experience, understand and negotiate racism in their everyday lives. In particular, it explores the notion of everyday anti-racism – the strategies individuals deploy to manage racism in their day to day lives. Through case studies based on extensive fieldwork the author shares ethnographic observation and interview material that demonstrate the ways in which Filipinos are racially constituted in Australian society and are subject to everyday racisms that criss-cross different modes of power and domination. Drawing on theoretical approaches in critical race scholarship and the sociology of everyday life, this book illuminates the operation of racism in a multicultural society that persists insidiously in exchanges across a range of public and private spaces. More importantly, it explores the quotidian ways in which ‘victims’ of racism cope with routine racialised domination, an area underdeveloped in anti-racism research that has tended to focus on institutional anti-racism politics. Shedding light on a neglected corner of the global Filipino diaspora and highlighting the complexity of lived experiences in translocal and transnational social fields, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of diaspora and migration studies, the study of race and racism and ethnic minorities, with particular reference to the Asian diaspora.

Book Synopsis Expressions of Resistance: Intersections of Filipino American Identity, Hip Hop Culture, and Social Justice by : Stephen Alan Bischoff
Download or read book Expressions of Resistance: Intersections of Filipino American Identity, Hip Hop Culture, and Social Justice written by Stephen Alan Bischoff and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unique relationship to colonization for Filipinos has challenged Filipino Americans in their identity development and understanding of Philippine history. Although American exceptionalism has been heavily indoctrinated into the Filipino diaspora due to the colonial education system in the Philippines, Filipino American youth have been able to still recognize themselves as a marginalized community in the U.S. due to their lower socioeconomic status and interactions with racism. By focusing specifically on Filipino Americans and the ways in which hip hop culture has been a site for expressing resistance through identity, my work will expose why hip hop culture has appealed to many Filipino Americans as a tool to resist and subvert oppression.
Book Synopsis Everyday Racism and Resistance by : Kristine Aquino
Download or read book Everyday Racism and Resistance written by Kristine Aquino and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, the over theorisation of racism has lost connection with political struggles to end racism. To better understand why racism continues to endure, more research needs to be undertaken to make concrete our abstract ideas of race and the taken for granted ways of thinking about how racism operates. But more importantly, there is much to learn about how racialised individuals resist ongoing racist marginalisation,subjugation, and humiliation in their ordinary day to day lives. This thesis investigates how Filipino migrants living in Australia experience, understand, and manage racism in their everyday lived experiences. Through ethnographic fieldwork conducted with Filipinos living in Sydney, the study explores how 'race' is produced and racism is experienced ineveryday routine situations across diverse social spaces; and, moreover, unearths the quotidian tactics of resistance - material and subjective that Filipino migrants deploy to cope with everyday racism.The analysis is themed broadly around the complex intersection of race, class, and gender;the transnational nature of Filipino lives; and the struggle for respect and recognition. Race,class, and gender, intersect in intricate ways to shape the content of racisms experienced by Filipino migrants and the kinds of cultural and economic resources they mobilise as tactics of resistance. Such junctures also shape the varied ways in which Filipinos understand these experiences and generate ways of being in the world. In addition to this, the findings suggest that the regimes of power that structure experiences of everyday racism and antiracism for Filipino migrants can have a transnational nature. The transnational character of racial systems, racist practice, and acts of resistance is yet to be fully elaborated in racism literature which has a tendency to fix migrant experiences within local nation-state frameworks. Lastly, central to the findings is the idea that amongst other things, racism is a mode of misrecognition which compels Filipino migrants to redeem respect in varying ways in the face of the constant denial of dignity.This thesis essentially aims to reconnect theory and politics with empirically grounded research to reconnect the abstract notions of race and racism with the lives that racismcontinues to distress in both violent and measured ways. Moreover, it attempts to contribute to research on antiracism by expanding on the micro struggles people undertake to counteract racism. Such infrapolitics have the potential to change the often limited scope in which existing notions of antiracism is conceived.

Book Synopsis Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Racisms by : John Solomos
Download or read book Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Racisms written by John Solomos and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of contemporary forms of racism has expanded greatly over the past four decades. Although it has been a focus for scholarship and research for the past three centuries, it is perhaps over this more recent period that we have seen important transformations in the analytical frames and methods to explore the changing patterns of contemporary racisms. The Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Racisms brings together thirty-four original chapters from international experts that address key features of contemporary racisms. The Handbook has a truly global orientation and covers contemporary racisms in both the western and non-western geopolitical environments. In terms of structure, the volume is organized into ten interlinked parts that include Theories and Histories, Contemporary Racisms in Global Perspective, Racism and the State, Racist Movements and Ideologies, Anti-Racisms, Racism and Nationalism, Intersections of Race and Gender, Racism, Culture and Religion, Methods of Studying Contemporary Racisms, and the End of Racism. These parts contain chapters that draw on original theoretical and empirical research to address the evolution and changing forms of contemporary racism. The Handbook is framed by a General Introduction and by short introductions to each part that provide an overview of key themes and concerns. Written in a clear and direct style, and from a conceptual, multidisciplinary and international perspective, the Handbook will provide students, scholars and practitioners with an overview of the most pressing issues of Racisms in our time.
Book Synopsis The Filipino Migration Experience by : Mina Roces
Download or read book The Filipino Migration Experience written by Mina Roces and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Filipino Migration Experience introduces a new dimension to the usual depiction of migrants as disenfranchised workers or marginal ethnic groups. Mina Roces suggests alternative ways of conceptualizing Filipino migrantsas critics of the family and cultural constructions of sexuality, as consumers and investors, as philanthropists, as activists, and, as historians. They have been able to transform fundamental social institutions and well-entrenched traditional norms, as well as alter the business, economic and cultural landscapes of both the homeland and the host countries to which they have migrated. Mina Roces tells the story of the Filipino migration experience from the perspective of the migrants themselves, tapping into hitherto underused primary sources from the "migrant archives" and more than 70 interviews. Bringing the fields of Filipino migration studies and Filipina/o/x American studies together, this book analyzes some of the areas where Filipino migrants have forever changed the status quo.
Book Synopsis Scripts of Servitude by : Beatriz P. Lorente
Download or read book Scripts of Servitude written by Beatriz P. Lorente and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how language is a central resource in transforming migrant women into transnational domestic workers. Focusing on the migration of women from the Philippines to Singapore, the book unpacks why and how language is embedded in the infrastructure of transnational labor migration that links migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries. It sheds light on the everyday lives of transnational domestic workers and how they draw on their linguistic repertoires, and in particular on English, as they cross geographical and social spaces. By showing how the transnational mobility of labor is dependent on the selection and performance of particular assemblages of linguistic resources that index migrants as labor and not as people, the book provides a powerful lens with which to examine how migration contributes to relationships of inequality and how such inequalities are produced and challenged on the terrain of language.
Book Synopsis Antiracist Discourse by : Teun A. van Dijk
Download or read book Antiracist Discourse written by Teun A. van Dijk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-22 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antiracism is a global and historical social movement of resistance and solidarity, yet there have been relatively few books focusing on it as a subject in its own right. After his earlier books on racist discourse, Teun A. van Dijk provides a theory of antiracism along with a history of discourse against slavery, racism and antisemitism. He first develops a multidisciplinary theory of antiracism, highlighting especially the role of discourse and cognition as forms of resistance and solidarity. He then covers the history of antiracist discourse, including antislavery and abolition discourse between the 16th and 19th century, antiracist discourse by white and black authors until the Civil Rights Movement and Black Lives Matter, and Jewish critical analysis of antisemitic ideas and discourse since the early 19th century. It is essential reading for anyone interested in how racism and antisemitism have been critically analysed and resisted in antislavery and antiracist discourse.
Book Synopsis Youth Cultures in a Globalized World by : Gerald Knapp
Download or read book Youth Cultures in a Globalized World written by Gerald Knapp and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the relation between the phenomenon of globalization, changes in the lifeworld of young people and the development of specific youth cultures. It explores the social, political, economic and cultural impact of globalization on young people. Growing diversity in their lifeworlds, technological development, migration and the ubiquity of digital communication and representation of the world open up new forms of self-representation, networking and political expression, which are described and discussed in the book. Other topics are the impact of globalization on work and economy, global environmental issues such as climate change, political movements which put “nationalism first”, change of youth`s values and the significance of body, gender and beauty. The book highlights the challenges of young people in modern life, as well as the way in which they express themselves and engage in society – in culture, politics, work and social life.
Book Synopsis New Chinese Immigrants in New Zealand by : Liangni Sally Liu
Download or read book New Chinese Immigrants in New Zealand written by Liangni Sally Liu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-28 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on new immigrant families from the People’s Republic of China to New Zealand and investigates how these families have adapted to New Zealand immigration policy regime, which does not accommodate their cultural preference to live as multigenerational families easily. The book analyses a three-generation framework: First-generation adult immigrants, their children and older parents. It examines how migratory mobility and intergenerational dynamics configure migratory trajectories of individual family members and shape their family lives and sense of identity. The book sheds light on how different family generations pursue their own interests and goals while maintaining family unity and cohesiveness in contexts of increasing transnational mobility opportunities and constraints. It also investigates how familial ties, transnational connections and a sense of identity and belonging are defined and redefined during the process of transnational migration. This book can serve as a heuristic reference to and meaningful comparative parameter for studying transnational family migration in other contexts. As a significant theoretical contribution to the theory of transnational family formation in contexts where restrictive immigration policies result in members of multigenerational families living across different countries, this book will be of interest to academics in the fields of sociology, anthropology, race and ethnic studies as well as Asian and Chinese studies.
Book Synopsis Immigration Governance in East Asia by : Gunter Schubert
Download or read book Immigration Governance in East Asia written by Gunter Schubert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes immigration policies in East Asia in the context of contemporary global migration flows and mobility. To assess how global norms of migration have impacted the East Asian migration region and explore regional migration trends, the book contains 13 case studies which investigate the regulation of immigration in China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. Three analytical strands, namely, norm diffusion, identity politics, and citizenship, build the theoretical framework for the case studies which investigate how regional and national norms, discourses, and institutions affect local communities and migration patterns. In particular, the book analyzes contemporary issues such as immigration policy reforms, practices of inclusion and exclusion in local communities, and discourses on multiculturalism and risk. The book utilizes a comparative perspective which enables readers to reflect on the role of national identity, international organizations and law, public security concerns, and labour market demands in the articulation and implementation of contemporary immigration policy in East Asia. This book substantially complements the existing literature on immigration governance and interregional migration mobility in East Asia and will be of interest to academics in the fields of East Asian studies, public policy, immigration and migration studies, and comparative politics.
Book Synopsis Safe Migration and the Politics of Brokered Safety in Southeast Asia by : Sverre Molland
Download or read book Safe Migration and the Politics of Brokered Safety in Southeast Asia written by Sverre Molland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates how the United Nations, governments, and aid agencies mobilise and instrumentalise migration policies and programmes through a discourse of safe migration. Since the early 2000s, numerous non-governmental organizations (NGOs), UN agencies, and governments have warmed to the concept of safe migration, often within a context of anti-trafficking interventions. Yet, both the policy-enthusiasm for safety, as well as how safe migration comes into being through policies and programs remain unexplored. Based on seven years of ethnographic fieldwork in the Mekong region, this is the first book that traces the emergence of safe migration, why certain aid actors gravitate towards the concept, as well as how safe migration policies and programmes unfold through aid agencies and government bodies. The book argues that safe migration is best understood as brokered safety. Although safe migration policy interventions attempt to formalize pre-emptive and protective measures to enhance labour migrants’ well-being, the book shows through vivid ethnographic details how formal migration assistance in itself depends on – and produces – informal asnd mediated practices. The book offers unprecedented insights into what safe migration policies look like in practice. It is an innovate contribution to contemporary theorizing of contemporary forms of migration governance and will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and human geographers working within the fields of Migration studies, Development Studies, as well as Southeast Asian and Global Studies.

Book Synopsis International Migrants in China's Global City by : James Farrer
Download or read book International Migrants in China's Global City written by James Farrer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long a source of migrants, China has now become a migrant destination. In 2016, government sources reported that nearly 900,000 foreigners were working in China, though international migrants remain a tiny presence at the national level. Shanghai is China’s most globalized city and has attracted a full quarter of Mainland China’s foreign resident population. This book analyzes the development of Shanghai’s expatriate communities, from their role in the opening up of Shanghai to foreign investment in the early 1980s through to the explosive growth after China joined the World Trade Organization in 2000. Based on over 400 interviews and 20 years of ethnographic fieldwork in Shanghai, it argues that international migrants play an important qualitative role in urban life. It explains the lifestyles of Shanghai’s skilled migrants; their positions in economic, social, sexual and cultural fields; their strategies for integration into Chinese society; their contributions to a cosmopolitan urban geography; and their changing symbolic and social significance for Shanghai as a global city. In so doing, it seeks to deal with the following questions: how have a generation of migrants made Shanghai into a cosmopolitan hometown, what role have they played in making Shanghai a global city, and how do foreign residents now fit into the nationalistic narrative of the China Dream? Addressing a gap in the market of critical expatriate studies through its focus on China, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of international migration, skilled migration, expatriates, urban studies, urban sociology, sexuality and gender studies, international education, and China studies.
