Book Synopsis International Migration and Security by : Elspeth Guild
Download or read book International Migration and Security written by Elspeth Guild and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-03-31 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day newspapers in the Western world carry articles about illegal immigrants, asylum seekers and other migrants. The focus of these articles varies greatly from migrants as a threat to one or another important social or societal interest, to migrants as an important asset to those same interests. The tone is most often emotional - whichever way the focus goes. The overall impact is to confuse: is migration good or bad? In this book Guild and van Selm seek to investigate these value assessments regarding migrants in Europe, the USA, Canada and Australia. While looking at issues such as security, human rights, legal systems, identity, racism, welfare, health and labour, the authors also respond to critics of immigration.
Book Synopsis Children of the Land by : Marcelo Hernandez Castillo
Download or read book Children of the Land written by Marcelo Hernandez Castillo and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NPR Best Book of the Year A 2020 International Latino Book Award Finalist An Entertainment Weekly, The Millions, and LitHub Most Anticipated Book of the Year This unforgettable memoir from a prize-winning poet about growing up undocumented in the United States recounts the sorrows and joys of a family torn apart by draconian policies and chronicles one young man’s attempt to build a future in a nation that denies his existence. “You were not a ghost even though an entire country was scared of you. No one in this story was a ghost. This was not a story.” When Marcelo Hernandez Castillo was five years old and his family was preparing to cross the border between Mexico and the United States, he suffered temporary, stress-induced blindness. Castillo regained his vision, but quickly understood that he had to move into a threshold of invisibility before settling in California with his parents and siblings. Thus began a new life of hiding in plain sight and of paying extraordinarily careful attention at all times for fear of being truly seen. Before Castillo was one of the most celebrated poets of a generation, he was a boy who perfected his English in the hopes that he might never seem extraordinary. With beauty, grace, and honesty, Castillo recounts his and his family’s encounters with a system that treats them as criminals for seeking safe, ordinary lives. He writes of the Sunday afternoon when he opened the door to an ICE officer who had one hand on his holster, of the hours he spent making a fake social security card so that he could work to support his family, of his father’s deportation and the decade that he spent waiting to return to his wife and children only to be denied reentry, and of his mother’s heartbreaking decision to leave her children and grandchildren so that she could be reunited with her estranged husband and retire from a life of hard labor. Children of the Land distills the trauma of displacement, illuminates the human lives behind the headlines and serves as a stunning meditation on what it means to be a man and a citizen.
Book Synopsis The Challenges of Diaspora Migration by : Rainer K. Silbereisen
Download or read book The Challenges of Diaspora Migration written by Rainer K. Silbereisen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diaspora or 'ethnic return' migrants have often been privileged in terms of citizenship and material support when they seek to return to their ancestral land, yet for many, after long periods of absence - sometimes extending to generations - acculturation to their new environment is as complex as that experienced by other immigrant groups. Indeed, the mismatch between the idealized hopes of the returning migrants and the high expectations for social integration by the new host country results in particular difficulties of adaptation for this group of immigrants, often with high societal costs. This interdisciplinary, comparative volume examines migration from German and Jewish Diasporas to Germany and Israel, examining the roles of origin, ethnicity, and destination in the acculturation and adaptation of immigrants. The book presents results from various projects within a large research consortium that compared the adaptation of Diaspora immigrants with that of other immigrant groups and natives in Israel and Germany. With close attention to specific issues relating to Diaspora immigration, including language acquisition, acculturation strategies, violence and 'breaches with the past', educational and occupational opportunities, life course transitions and preparation for moving between countries, The Challenges of Diaspora Migration will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in migration and ethnicity, Diaspora and return migration.

Book Synopsis Public Health Communication Challenges to Minority and Indigenous Communities by : Aiseng, Kealeboga
Download or read book Public Health Communication Challenges to Minority and Indigenous Communities written by Aiseng, Kealeboga and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language has emerged as both a powerful bridge and a formidable barrier in the realm of public health communication. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a significant challenge faced by minority and indigenous communities, particularly in regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. It's a challenge deeply rooted in the historical use of colonial languages—English, French, and Spanish—to disseminate critical health information. For many, this has translated into a linguistic exclusion, depriving them of access to essential resources and a voice in matters of national interest. This issue transcends mere communication; it touches upon the fundamental rights of individuals to participate in their own healthcare decisions and influences their sense of belonging and citizenship. Public Health Communication Challenges to Minority and Indigenous Communities proposes a solution with a transformative potential. This groundbreaking edited volume invites scholars from diverse fields to contribute their research, shedding light on the linguistic dimensions of public health communication during the COVID-19 era. By investigating the impact of language on various aspects of society, from medical information to education, this book seeks to synthesize the wealth of sociolinguistic research into an accessible framework. It's an invitation to explore the role of language in shaping our perceptions of citizenship, belonging, and empowerment.

Book Synopsis Brokered Boundaries by : Douglas S. Massey
Download or read book Brokered Boundaries written by Douglas S. Massey and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2010-05-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anti-immigrant sentiment reached a fever pitch after 9/11, but its origins go back much further. Public rhetoric aimed at exposing a so-called invasion of Latino immigrants has been gaining ground for more than three decades—and fueling increasingly restrictive federal immigration policy. Accompanied by a flagging U.S. economy—record-level joblessness, bankruptcy, and income inequality—as well as waning consumer confidence, these conditions signaled one of the most hostile environments for immigrants in recent memory. In Brokered Boundaries, Douglas Massey and Magaly Sánchez untangle the complex political, social, and economic conditions underlying the rise of xenophobia in U.S. society. The book draws on in-depth interviews with Latin American immigrants in metropolitan New York and Philadelphia and—in their own words and images—reveals what life is like for immigrants attempting to integrate in anti-immigrant times. What do the social categories “Latino” and “American” actually mean to today’s immigrants? Brokered Boundaries analyzes how first- and second-generation immigrants from Central and South America and the Caribbean navigate these categories and their associated meanings as they make their way through U.S. society. Massey and Sánchez argue that the mythos of immigration, in which newcomers gradually shed their respective languages, beliefs, and cultural practices in favor of a distinctly American way of life, is, in reality, a process of negotiation between new arrivals and native-born citizens. Natives control interactions with outsiders by creating institutional, social, psychological, and spatial mechanisms that delimit immigrants’ access to material resources and even social status. Immigrants construct identities based on how they perceive and respond to these social boundaries. The authors make clear that today’s Latino immigrants are brokering boundaries in the context of unprecedented economic uncertainty, repressive anti-immigrant legislation, and a heightening fear that upward mobility for immigrants translates into downward mobility for the native-born. Despite an absolute decline in Latino immigration, immigration-related statutes have tripled in recent years, including many that further shred the safety net for legal permanent residents as well as the undocumented. Brokered Boundaries shows that, although Latin American immigrants come from many different countries, their common reception in a hostile social environment produces an emergent Latino identity soon after arrival. During anti-immigrant times, however, the longer immigrants stay in America, the more likely they are to experience discrimination and the less likely they are to identify as Americans.

Book Synopsis The Emotional Challenges of Immigration by : Ellie Baker
Download or read book The Emotional Challenges of Immigration written by Ellie Baker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigrants make up 3.15% of the world's population, that's 216 million people. How do you successfully progress from emigration to being a long term immigrant? You may not have moved countries; you may have changed areas, such as rural to city. Have you ever felt disconnected to the place in which you are living, or struggled with the language, humour or behaviours? Have you have missed features of what was once your home, or found yourself wishing your family and friends were more accessible? If you have, even if you haven't changed countries, you may be subject to the emotional challenges that immigrants face, and will find help in this book. Emigrating and immigrating is more than removal companies and getting visas. There are many emotions involved. The combination of excitement and sadness from moving countries is just the tip of the iceberg. In your new country, when you have recovered from the culture shock, and calmed down from the novelty of where you live, there is the 'missing' to deal with. The missing of family, friends, familiarity and the celebrations you would have had with them is often unanticipated and overwhelming. It is not to be treated casually. Immigrants often struggle or return to their homeland because of what they miss, rather than due to economic or practical reasons. The book The Emotional Challenges of Immigration explores many of the emotional issues faced by immigrants or people away from home. In this strategy-filled, self-help book you will find suggestions of how to face the challenges. Whether you consider visits to your homeland a necessity or a luxury, you can learn how to make the most of your time there and how to make the most of visits from your family and friends. If you are a parent or plan on being one, you will find out how you can introduce your heritage to your children. What to do when you receive the news that a loved one is getting married, having a baby or dying. What were immigrants' experiences when they have had big news to share, an engagement, pregnancy, child's milestone. Do you and your spouse have the same priorities on visits to family? Whether a migrant couple or a transnational marriage, issues of homesickness and family visits have to be communicated. You will learn ways to gain or increase a sense of belonging where you are living. You will read that, although you are geographically distant from loved ones in your homeland, you still have a part to play in their lives. Each chapter deals with particular emotional challenges for those away from their homeland. Immigrants' actual experiences are shared and strategies are offered based on what has worked for them. It may be hard to adjust your thinking from wishing for a white Christmas to seeking shade in the heat of summer, but at some stage you have to let go of old traditions and create some your own. Immigrant challenges can be isolating. This book will help you know there are solutions and that you are not alone in your struggles. Through this book, you can find out how to become a more settled immigrant and how to feel more connection with the place in which you are living. Ellie Baker has been an immigrant for 25 years. She has a transnational marriage and was recently termed a 'successful immigrant, ' defined as an immigrant who contributes to the country and community she lives in. Her research into how immigrants cope has led her to offer solutions to survive the sad and bad times, and relish the glad times, of being an immigrant. This book reveals the emotional challenges of being an immigrant. It is a book for immigrants to understand and help overcome their challenges. It is a book for potential immigrants and people who know or love immigrants. Use this book to understand and decrease the emotional challenges of being away from home. Become more settled and happier where you are living."

Book Synopsis Migration and Integration Challenges of Muslim Immigrants in Europe by : Annemarie Profanter
Download or read book Migration and Integration Challenges of Muslim Immigrants in Europe written by Annemarie Profanter and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the impetus of globalization continues to gather pace, more and more people leave their homes pursuing dreams of a better life for themselves and their families. Muslim immigrants converging on Europe from widely divergent communities scattered throughout North Africa, the Middle East and South-East Asia, represent a great variety of local cultures and traditions. Trans-Mediterranean networks form the basis of migration routes and are key factors in the destinations of these migrants and in the overall process of immigration, be this towards Europe or other Muslim countries. South-North fluxes intertwine with South-South fluxes, among which the Gulf Arab countries stand out as a prime destination, not only for low-skilled labour. Different situations emerge, within a variegated discourse on co-existence, integration, assimilation and the preservation of identity. The adoption of this transnational dimension incorporating both destination, and points of origin, enables the investigation of migration to move beyond a purely Eurocentric approach. Thus, different national patterns are analyzed with a focus on a number of significant case-studies. By debating policies and cultural approaches the aim is to add innovative scholarship to the challenge of integration. Cross-cultural pluralism on the part of the nation states comprising the European Union is one avenue for moving the dialogue between different cultural frameworks towards a more compatible form.

Book Synopsis The Challenges of European Governance in the Age of Economic Stagnation, Immigration, and Refugees by : Henry F. Carey
Download or read book The Challenges of European Governance in the Age of Economic Stagnation, Immigration, and Refugees written by Henry F. Carey and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the political and legal challenges of regional governance of the 28 countries of the European Union and the 48 in the Council of Europe. The contributions, dilemmas, and moral hazards from this record of nearly seven decades of regional inter-governmental institutions has kept the peace, but produced episodes of crisis from overstretching jurisdictions, thematically and geographically. Polarization between nationalist and integrative forces has displaced the idealistic aspirations of prior decades to build the rule of law and deter violence. Academics and policy makers will learn from the various legal and political efforts to integrate supranational and inter-governmental agencies with national political systems.
