Book Synopsis The Bedoons of Kuwait by : Aziz Abu-Hamad
Download or read book The Bedoons of Kuwait written by Aziz Abu-Hamad and published by Human Rights Watch. This book was released on 1995 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kuwait practices a system of institutionalized discrimination against its residents known as Bedoons, longtime inhabitants who have been denied Kuwaiti citizenship and are now being rendered stateless. Barred from employment, denied education for their children, restricted in their movements, and living under the constant threat of arbitrary arrest and deportation, Bedoons are a community of "have nots" in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. At the same time, tens of thousands of Bedoons who fled Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation have been barred from returning to their country. After decades of treating Bedoons as citizens and repeatedly promising to confer formal citizenship on them, the Kuwaiti government reversed its practice and declared them illegal residents of the only country they have ever known. Although the policy was adopted before the Iraqi invasion, it has intensified since the Kuwaiti government was restored to power following the victory of the Desert Storm military campaign.
Book Synopsis Statelessness, governance, and the problem of citizenship by : Tendayi Bloom
Download or read book Statelessness, governance, and the problem of citizenship written by Tendayi Bloom and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a person is not recognised as a citizen anywhere, they are typically referred to as ‘stateless’. This can give rise to challenges both for individuals and for the institutions that try to govern them. Statelessness, governance, and the problem of citizenship breaks from tradition by relocating the ‘problem’ to be addressed from one of statelessness to one of citizenship. It problematises the governance of citizenship – and the use of citizenship as a governance tool – and traces the ‘problem of citizenship’ from global and regional governance mechanisms to national and even individual levels. With contributions from activists, affected persons, artists, lawyers, academics, and national and international policy experts, this volume rejects the idea that statelessness and stateless persons are a problem. It argues that the reality of statelessness helps to uncover a more fundamental challenge: the problem of citizenship.

Book Synopsis Stateless in the Gulf by : Claire Beaugrand
Download or read book Stateless in the Gulf written by Claire Beaugrand and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kuwaiti population includes around 100,000 people - approximately 10 per cent of the Kuwaiti nationals -whose legal status is contested. Often considered `stateless', they have come to be known in Kuwait as biduns, from `bidun jinsiyya', which means literally `without nationality' in Arabic. As long-term residents with close geographical ties and intimate cultural links to the emirate, the biduns claim that they are entitled to Kuwaiti nationality because they have no other. But since 1986 the State of Kuwait, has considered them `illegal residents' on Kuwaiti territory. As a result, the biduns have been denied civil and human rights and treated as undocumented migrants, with no access to employment, health, education or official birth and death certificates. It was only after the first-ever bidun protest in 2011, that the government softened restrictions imposed upon them. Claire Beaugrand argues here that, far from being an anomaly, the position of the biduns is of central importance to the understanding of state formation processes in the Gulf countries, and the ways in which identity and the boundaries of nationality are negotiated and concretely enacted.

Book Synopsis The Robert Hussein Case by : George J. Gatgounis
Download or read book The Robert Hussein Case written by George J. Gatgounis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the many influential religious-liberty cases with which the Rev. Dr. George Gatgounis, Esq., has been involved, his work through the Rutherford Institute as counsel on the Robert Hussein case in Kuwait is certainly one of the most compelling. Hussein was a Kuwaiti citizen sentenced to death by his government in the 1990s for converting to Christianity. When efforts by his legal team and U.S. officials failed to overturn the sentence, Hussein fled to America but eventually converted back to Islam and returned to Kuwait. This thoroughly footnoted book provides unique insight into the Islamic legal system and how the United States might respond to it.
Book Synopsis Critical Approaches to the Study of Higher Education by : Ana M. Martínez-Alemán
Download or read book Critical Approaches to the Study of Higher Education written by Ana M. Martínez-Alemán and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-06 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential guide to incorporating critical research into higher education scholarship. Winner of the Outstanding Publication Award of the Post-secondary Education Division of the American Educational Research Association Critical theory has much to teach us about higher education. By linking critical models, methods, and research tools with an advocacy-driven vision of the central challenges facing postsecondary researchers and staff, Critical Approaches to the Study of Higher Education makes a significant—and long overdue—contribution to the development of the field. The contributors argue that, far from being overly abstract, critical tools and methods are central to contemporary scholarship and can have practical policy implications when brought to the study of higher education. They argue that critical research design and critical theories help scholars see beyond the normative models and frameworks that have long limited our understanding of students, faculty, institutions, the organization and governance of higher education, and the policies that shape the postsecondary arena. A rigorous and invaluable guide for researchers seeking innovative approaches to higher education and the morass of traditionally functionalist, rational, and neoliberal thinking that mars the field, this book is also essential for instructors who wish to incorporate the lessons of critical scholarship into their course development, curriculum, and pedagogy.

Book excerpt: There are more than 50,000 Iraqis in Jordan, representing all walks of life and diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds. Whether fleeing generalized violence or targeted persecution, the vast majority of Iraqis in Jordan are refugees fleeing for their lives. Based on in-depth, personal interviews with Iraqis living in Jordan, the report describes how the Jordanian government turns a blind eye to people who would quality as refugees, refusing to grant them asylum or to agree to abide by a call from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to provide them temporary protection. Consequently, many are denied any legal status and are forced to live illegally.
