Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking to understand why host states treat migrants and refugees inclusively, exclusively, or without any direct engagement, Kelsey P. Norman offers this original, comparative analysis of the politics of asylum seeking and migration in the Middle East and North Africa. While current classifications of migrant and refugee engagement in the Global South mistake the absence of formal policy and law for neglect, Reluctant Reception proposes the concept of 'strategic indifference', where states proclaim to be indifferent toward migrants and refugees, thereby inviting international organizations and local NGOs to step in and provide services on the state's behalf. Using the cases of Egypt, Morocco and Turkey to develop her theory of 'strategic indifference', Norman demonstrates how, by allowing migrants and refugees to integrate locally into large informal economies, and by allowing organizations to provide basic services, host countries receive international credibility while only exerting minimal state resources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reluctant Immigrant was written to help readers understand what it can really feel like to be an immigrant in a strange new country, far away from home. Many immigrants seeking the opportunity of a better life or a safer life arrive on American shores not able to speak the English/American language. The immigrant in this story, however, was English, and had not expected to ever leave her homeland, an event which led to her life changing dramatically. Life in London, her birth city and where she was brought up, was exciting, beautiful, and full of the richness of its history and culture. During the sixties word went out from large American Corporations looking to employ highly qualified scientists, it was called the ‘Brain Drain’ and her husband qualified. Perplexed and heavy-hearted she forced herself through the process of dismantling her London home and tearing her children away from sad, aging relative and friends. It was never an adventure, but a duty. Gradually the homesickness of the early years began to subside, but feeling dismally equipped to embrace this unwanted adventure she decided that some serious history lessons were necessary. Piecing together the historical underpinnings of each new state, city and town where she made a home naturally brought frequent connections to her own homeland and provided the link and the bridge that brought her curiosity and appreciation of both pieced into play, leading to exciting success.

This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From “America’s leading immigration economist” (The Wall Street Journal), a refreshingly level-headed exploration of the effects of immigration. We are a nation of immigrants, and we have always been concerned about immigration. As early as 1645, the Massachusetts Bay Colony began to prohibit the entry of “paupers.” Today, however, the notion that immigration is universally beneficial has become pervasive. To many modern economists, immigrants are a trove of much-needed workers who can fill predetermined slots along the proverbial assembly line. But this view of immigration’s impact is overly simplified, explains George J. Borjas, a Cuban-American, Harvard labor economist. Immigrants are more than just workers—they’re people who have lives outside of the factory gates and who may or may not fit the ideal of the country to which they’ve come to live and work. Like the rest of us, they’re protected by social insurance programs, and the choices they make are affected by their social environments. In We Wanted Workers, Borjas pulls back the curtain of political bluster to show that, in the grand scheme, immigration has not affected the average American all that much. But it has created winners and losers. The losers tend to be nonmigrant workers who compete for the same jobs as immigrants. And somebody’s lower wage is somebody else’s higher profit, so those who employ immigrants benefit handsomely. In the end, immigration is mainly just another government redistribution program. “I am an immigrant,” writes Borjas, “and yet I do not buy into the notion that immigration is universally beneficial. . . . But I still feel that it is a good thing to give some of the poor and huddled masses, people who face so many hardships, a chance to experience the incredible opportunities that our exceptional country has to offer.” Whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent, We Wanted Workers is essential reading for anyone interested in the issue of immigration in America today.

Book excerpt: Based on seventeen months of ethnographic research among Indonesian eldercare workers in Japan and Indonesia, this book is the first ethnography to research Indonesian care workers’ relationships with the cared-for elderly, their Japanese colleagues, and their employers. Through the notion of intimacy, the book brings together sociological and anthropological scholarship on the body, migration, demographic change, and eldercare in a vivid account of societal transformation. Placed against the background of mass media representations, the Indonesian workers’ experiences serve as a basis for discussion of the role of bodily experience in shaping the image of a national “other” in Japan.

Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE & WINNER OF THE L.A. TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR FICTION and THE ASPEN WORDS LITERARY PRIZE “It was as if Hamid knew what was going to happen to America and the world, and gave us a road map to our future… At once terrifying and … oddly hopeful.” —Ayelet Waldman, The New York Times Book Review “Moving, audacious, and indelibly human.” —Entertainment Weekly, “A” rating The New York Times bestselling novel: an astonishingly visionary love story that imagines the forces that drive ordinary people from their homes into the uncertain embrace of new lands, from the author of The Reluctant Fundamentalist and the forthcoming The Last White Man. In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet—sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair, and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through. . . . Exit West follows these remarkable characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.

Book excerpt: Reluctant Host is a history of the evolution of Canadian immigration policy this century with three major threads. First is an analysis of how pressure groups - business, labour, ethnic, political, bureaucratic - determined Canada's policies. While there is some reference to professional andskilled migrants, the emphasis is appropriately on the unskilled and the massive numbers demanded by spokesmen for the labour-intensive industries - extractive, transportation, construction, companies - and their political allies. These determined the scale and composition of immigration. A secondthread is a study of immigrant workers, their experiences as shaped by racial and ethnic considerations. Third is a study of official policy. Class, race, and ethnicity determined both Canada's policy toward different groups of immigrant workers, and where foreign-born men and women foundemployment.Section One, based on extensive archival research discusses European workers and the Canadian economy, policies toward Asian workers, the affect of the First World War on the place of European workers, the return to an open door policy during the 1920s, the impact of the Depression on immigrationpolicy, the security dimensions of policy during the Second War and early years of the Cold War, and our response to Displaced Persons between 1946 and 1952.Section Two is a survey of the elements of continuity and change in immigration policy and practices since 1952, debates over the 1967 White Paper and 1976 Immigration Act and the experiences of immigrant workers in Canadian society in the past forty years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration and health care are hotly debated and contentious issues. Policies that relate to both issues—to the health of newcomers—often reflect misimpressions about immigrants, and their impact on health care systems. Despite the fact that immigrants are typically younger and healthier than natives, and that many immigrants play a vital role as care-givers in their new lands, native citizens are often reluctant to extend basic health care to immigrants, choosing instead to let them suffer, to let them die prematurely, or to expedite their return to their home lands. Likewise, many nations turn against immigrants when epidemics such as Ebola strike, under the false belief that native populations can be kept well only if immigrants are kept out. In The Health of Newcomers, Patricia Illingworth and Wendy E. Parmet demonstrate how shortsighted and dangerous it is to craft health policy on the basis of ethnocentrism and xenophobia. Because health is a global public good and people benefit from the health of neighbor and stranger alike, it is in everyone’s interest to ensure the health of all. Drawing on rigorous legal and ethical arguments and empirical studies, as well as deeply personal stories of immigrant struggles, Illingworth and Parmet make the compelling case that global phenomena such as poverty, the medical brain drain, organ tourism, and climate change ought to inform the health policy we craft for newcomers and natives alike.
