Book Synopsis Exploring 'unseen' Social Capital in Community Participation by : Sam Wong
Download or read book Exploring 'unseen' Social Capital in Community Participation written by Sam Wong and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume argues that using social capital to eradicate poverty is unlikely to succeed because its mainstream approach mistakenly assumes that social capital necessarily benefits poor people. The inadequacy of that assumption, Sam Wong argues, calls for a reassessment of human motivations, institutional dynamics, and the complexity of structures in social capital building. Proposing a “pro-poor” perspective, in which poverty-specific outcomes are highlighted, he suggests an exploration of “unseen” social capital is in order—not only to challenge the mainstream understanding of “seen” social capital, but to demonstrate the need for everyday cooperation, which is shaped by social norms, influenced by conscious and unconscious motivations, and subject to changes in priority based on livelihood. A useful volume for both policy makers and practitioners, Exploring ‘Unseen’ Social Capital in Community Participation offers a fresh perspective in thinking about civic and social agency.

Book excerpt: Given the underrepresentation of Chicana/os in higher education and the importance of a college degree with regard to future job growth, this study examined the college choice process of 30 Chicanas and Chicanos using a social capital theoretical perspective and the concept of chain migration. This investigation included ten first-time students at a community college and a university, as well as ten first-time transfer students at a university, with an equal gender balance. Using one-on-one interviews, this study focused on the influence of family, peer and school networks on the Chicana/o college choice process.
Book Synopsis Social Capital as a Resource for Migrant Entrepreneurship by : Elena Sommer
Download or read book Social Capital as a Resource for Migrant Entrepreneurship written by Elena Sommer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her explorative study that is based on data from 62 qualitative interviews, Elena Sommer examines the use of social capital for entrepreneurial activities of self-employed migrants from the former Soviet Union in Germany. She analyses what type of social capital is used by migrants as a resource for the formation and development of small businesses and how entrepreneurial social networks of migrants change over time. The study illustrates that the use of business-related social relationships of the interviewed self-employed depends on the company's market strategy as well as on access to relevant social networks.

Book Synopsis Paradoxes of Social Capital by : Myriam Cherti
Download or read book Paradoxes of Social Capital written by Myriam Cherti and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Paradoxes of Social Capital" critically examines the robustness of social capital theory as an analytical tool in explaining the various 'integration' patterns amongst Moroccans in London. The book also considers how structural factors impact on the ways in which Moroccans - across generations - sustain, access and use social capital at the levels of family, ethnic community, migrant associations and schools. Furthermore, this research elaborates on how social capital serves as an identity (re)source that is continuously negotiated and redefined through (in)active group (family, ethnic, religious and national) memberships. An original model of studying the second-generation processes of adaptation - viewed as 'transversal adaptation'- is also introduced, shifting the focus from predetermined 'integration' patterns to a circular and a longitudinal approach to 'integration', where new opportunities and constraints emerge, structured by the temporal flow of life trajectories.
Book Synopsis Social Capital and Immigrant Integration by : Mesay Andualem Tegegne
Download or read book Social Capital and Immigrant Integration written by Mesay Andualem Tegegne and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents three empirical studies on the distribution and role of social capital among immigrants in the United States. Using data from two national datasets - the New Immigrant Survey (NIS 2003, 2007) and the Social Capital Community Benchmark Survey (SCCBS 2000) - it examines the implications of social capital for immigrants' social and economic integration. In doing so, it addresses several key limitations within migration research. The first limitation it addresses is the focus of prior research on migrants' co-ethnic (bonding) social capital and the limited research on immigrants' "bridging" social capital and distributional inequities across immigrant groups. Second, while most research has focused on role of social capital in economic integration, relatively little is known about the short-run and long-term implications of immigrants' social capital for their health and well-being. Third, prior research has generally focused on specific immigrant groups, particularly Hispanic and Asian immigrants, and it is unclear if prior findings are generalizable to immigrants overall or if they are simply capturing group and/or context-specific effects of social capital. This dissertation includes three studies that provide pieces of evidence that address these limitations and contribute to the migration literature. In the first study, I explore the link between race, immigration status and social network diversity. Using data on personal network characteristics from the SCCBS (2000), I examine the role of race and immigration status in the distribution of ethnicity and status-bridging social capital. Findings confirm the double disadvantage of minority and outsider status for minority immigrants when it comes to access to network diversity, which is to say group (i.e. race) differences in native-immigrant gaps in access to ethnicity-bridging social capital.

Book Synopsis Immigrant Networks and Social Capital by : Carl L. Bankston, III
Download or read book Immigrant Networks and Social Capital written by Carl L. Bankston, III and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2015 In recent years, immigration researchers have increasingly drawn on the concept of social capital and the role of social networks to understand the dynamics of immigrant experiences. How can they help to explain what brings migrants from some countries to others, or why members of different immigrant groups experience widely varying outcomes in their community settings, occupational opportunities, and educational outcomes? This timely book examines the major issues in social capital research, showing how economic and social contexts shape networks in the process of migration, and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of this approach to the study of international migration. By drawing on a broad range of examples from major immigrant groups, the book takes network-based social capital theory out of the realm of abstraction and reveals the insights it offers. Written in a readily comprehensible, jargon-free style, Immigrant Networks and Social Capital is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate classes in international migration, networks, and political and social theory in general. It provides both a theoretical synthesis for professional social scientists and a clear introduction to network approaches to social capital for students, policy-makers, and anyone interested in contemporary social trends and issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sociology of Immigration provides students with a contemporary sociological perspective on the entire immigration process: deciding to leave one’s home country, establishing oneself in a new host society, being received by the host population, and deciding whether to assimilate or seek citizenship. Using historical and contemporary examples, it applies many foundational concepts in sociology, such as culture, socialization, race and ethnicity, gender, and the sociological imagination, to the phenomenon of human migration. The text introduces immigration and migration on a global scale, but also emphasizes immigration in a U.S. context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Social Capital Social capital can be described as "the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively" . Interpersonal relationships, a common sense of identity, a shared understanding, shared norms, shared values, trust, collaboration, and reciprocity are all essential components of this concept. It plays a role in the efficient operation of social organizations. A measure of the value of resources, both material and intangible, as well as the influence that ideal creators have on the resources engaged in each connection and on larger groups, social capital is a measurement of the influence that ideal creators have. Despite the fact that this does not correspond with the way that it has been assessed, there are many who have characterized it as a type of capital that generates public goods for a shared purpose.

Book Synopsis Migration-Trust Networks by : Nadia Yamel Flores-Yeffal
Download or read book Migration-Trust Networks written by Nadia Yamel Flores-Yeffal and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an important new application of sociological theories, Nadia Y. Flores-Yeffal offers fresh insights into the ways in which social networks function among immigrants who arrive in the United States from Mexico without legal documentation. She asks and examines important questions about the commonalities and differences in networks for this group compared with other immigrants, and she identifies “trust” as a major component of networking among those who have little if any legal protection. Revealing the complexities behind social networks of international migration, Migration-Trust Networks: Social Cohesion in Mexican US-Bound Emigration provides an empirical and theoretical analysis of how social networks of international migration operate in the transnational context. Further, the book clarifies how networking creates chain migration effects observable throughout history. Flores-Yeffal’s study extends existing social network theories, providing a more detailed description of the social micro- and macrodynamics underlying the development and expansion of social networks used by undocumented Mexicans to migrate and integrate within the United States, with trust relationships as the basis of those networks. In addition, it incorporates a transnational approach in which the migrant’s place of origin, whether rural or urban, becomes an important variable. Migration-Trust Networks encapsulates the new realities of undocumented migration from Latin America and contributes to the academic discourse on international migration, advancing the study of social networks of migration and of social networks in general.
Book Synopsis Social Networks and Migration by : Susan Thieme
Download or read book Social Networks and Migration written by Susan Thieme and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2006 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Far West Nepal - an area extremely impoverished also by Nepalese standards - labour migration to India has been an integral part of the livelihood strategies of the majority of people for several generations. This research is based on case studies among male and female migrants in Delhi coming from four villages of Far West Nepal. The analysis focuses on selected aspects of the migrants' daily lives, such as working and living conditions, management of loans and savings, and remittance transfer. It was found, that the whole migration process is mainly facilitated by transnational kin and friendship networks. To grasp the geographical and social dimensions of the migrant's lives an integrative approach in joining the sustainable livelihoods approach, Bourdieu's theory of practice, the concept of social capital and the concept of transnational migration was developed. Further results show, that the majority of the migrants are male. The unskilled migrants occupy a distinct niche, in which men have been working as watchmen and car cleaners for generations. The job market is highly organized since jobs are handed over and sold within networks. If wives of migrants are in Delhi for longer periods, they engage in housekeeping. For financial needs migrants established their own informal savings and credit associations. Although migration is firstly seen as an opportunity by the migrants, it can as well perpetuate debt and dependency and entail that they remain migrants for their whole lives.
Download or read book Social Capital written by John Field and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-04-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term ‘social capital’ is a way of defining the intangible resources of community, shared values and trust upon which we draw in daily life. It has achieved considerable international currency across the social sciences through the very different work of Pierre Bourdieu in France and James Coleman and Robert Putnam in the United States, and has been widely taken up within politics and sociology as an explanation for the decline in social cohesion and community values in western societies. It has also been adopted by policy makers, particularly in international governmental bodies such as the World Bank. This fully revised second edition of Social Capital provides a thorough overview of the intense and fast-moving debate surrounding this subject. This clear and comprehensive introduction explains the theoretical underpinning of the subject, the empirical work that has been done to explore its operation, and the influence that it has had on public policy and practice. It includes guides to further reading and a list of the most important websites.
