Book Synopsis Migration Citizenship Labour by : Lara Jüssen
Download or read book Migration Citizenship Labour written by Lara Jüssen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lara Jüssen takes the case of Latin American household and construction workers in Madrid to show how ir/regular labour migrants make citizenship available for themselves through emplacements, embodiments and enactments of citizenship. After describing the sociopolitical context of crisis and resistance in Spain, citizenship is anthropologized in order to approach it through the workplace: the private household and the construction site. Based on empirical results from interviews, it is analyzed how citizenship is emplaced through ego-centered networks and assemblages that situate the migrants’ social belonging; how it is embodied through carving out of identities of the migrant workers, intersectionality of gender, ethnicity, and class, affects that imprint workers’ bodies, and experiences of violence at the workplace; then citizenships’ enactment is scrutinized through workers’ empowerment for rights, individually at the workplace and collectively through demonstrations and political theater performance in urban public space.
Book Synopsis Translocalities/Translocalidades by : Sonia E. Alvarez
Download or read book Translocalities/Translocalidades written by Sonia E. Alvarez and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translocalities/Translocalidades is a path-breaking collection of essays on Latin American, Caribbean, and United States–based Latina feminisms and their multiple translations and cross-pollinations. The contributors come from countries throughout the Américas and are based in diverse disciplines, including media studies, literature, Chicana/o studies, and political science. Together, they advocate a hemispheric politics based on the knowledge that today, many sorts of Latin/o-americanidades—Afro, queer, indigenous, feminist, and so on—are constructed through processes of translocation. Latinidad in the South, North and Caribbean "middle" of the Américas, is constituted out of the intersections of the intensified cross-border, transcultural, and translocal flows that characterize contemporary transmigration throughout the hemisphere, from La Paz to Buenos Aires to Chicago and back again. Rather than immigrating and assimilating, many people in the Latin/a Américas increasingly move back and forth between localities, between historically situated and culturally specific, though increasingly porous, places, across multiple borders, and not just between nations. The contributors deem these multidirectional crossings and movements, and the positionalities engendered, translocalities/translocalidades. Contributors. Sonia E.

Book Synopsis Religion, Migration, and Mobility by : Cristina Maria de Castro
Download or read book Religion, Migration, and Mobility written by Cristina Maria de Castro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on migration and mobility, this edited collection examines the religious landscape of Brazil as populated and shaped by transnational flows and domestic migratory movements. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives on migration and religion, this book argues that Brazil’s diverse religious landscape must be understood within a dynamic global context. From southern to northern Europe, through Africa, Japan and the Middle East, to a host of Latin American countries, Brazilian society has been influenced by immigrant communities accompanied by a range of beliefs and rituals drawn from established ‘world’ religions as well as alternative religio-spiritual movements. Consequently, the formation and profile of ‘homegrown’ religious communities such as Santo Daime, the Dawn Valley and Umbanda can only be fully understood against the broader backdrop of migration. Contributors draw on the case of Brazil to develop frameworks for understanding the interface of religion and migration, asking questions that include: How do the processes and forces of re-territorialization play out among post-migratory communities? In what ways are the post-transitional dynamics of migration enacted and reframed by different generations of migrants? How are the religious symbols and ritual practices of particular worldviews and traditions appropriated and re-interpreted by migrant communities? What role does religion play in facilitating or impeding post-migratory settlement? Religion, Migration and Mobility engages these questions by drawing on a range of different traditions and research methods. As such, this book will be of keen interest to scholars working across the fields of religious studies, anthropology, cultural studies and sociology.

Download or read book 2 0 1 2 written by Hugo Enrique Reyes Devesa and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En diversos documentales que han circulado por los medios informativos e inclusive en la Internet, el 2012 aparece el año del Juicio Final o el "Hunab-Ku", según las profecías de los mayas, mencionado que la raza humana y nuestro planeta sufrirán una catástrofe de proporciones inimaginables. Estos hechos se ven vinculados a un fenómeno cósmico que ocurre cada 25, 800 años y que tendrá lugar en el solsticio de invierno del 2012, cuando la Tierra se encuentre alineada con el Sol y el centro de nuestra galaxia, la vía Láctea, donde existe un agujero negro ocasionando alteraciones en el manto terrestre y por consiguiente, en la superficie de nuestro planeta. A raíz de estos augurios que vaticinan un peligro inminente a la Tierra y a sus pobladores, los protagonistas de esta increíble aventura, se hacen a la tarea de iniciar una investigación científica que les proporcionara una información más exacta de la realidad, del peligro que estaba a punto de desatarse, y esto era a la vuelta de la esquina ya que, de ocurrir esta catástrofe, ocurriría en tan solo dos años. El resultado de dicha investigación hace que uno de ellos exponga una hipótesis aterradora y descabellada, la "supe-marea del manto terrestre" ejercida por las fuerzas gravitacionales del Sol y el agujero negro. Con la ayuda de dos geofísicos estadounidenses emprenden una odisea que inicia con la búsqueda de un lugar seguro y la creación de un refugio que pueda contener los embates apocalípticos de dicho efecto gravitacional cósmico. Sin embargo, los eventos dan inicio mucho antes de lo esperado por lo que se ven obligados a adelantar sus planes de huída y de sobrevivencia, viéndose envueltos en una serie de controversias ante las decisiones que tienen que tomar con respecto a cuántos y quiénes debían acudir a San Pedro y lo que tenían que llevar consigo. "Todo lo que inicia tiene un fin". Desde que el ser humano existe, y de acuerdo con la historia que nos habla de Oráculos y profetas, siempre ha esperado con temor el día en que llegue éste final. ¿Ficción o una realidad? ¿El año 2012 pondrá fin a la existencia del ser humano sobre la faz de la Tierra? ¿Podrá soportar nuestro planeta, y nosotros mismo, seremos capaces de sobrevivir a esta devastadora ecuación cósmica? Hugo Enrique Reyes Devesa
Book Synopsis Comparing Super-Diversity by : Fran Meissner
Download or read book Comparing Super-Diversity written by Fran Meissner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of ‘super-diversity’ has received considerable attention since it was introduced in Ethnic and Racial Studies in 2007, reflecting a broadening interest in finding new ways to talk about contemporary social complexity. This book brings together a collection of essays which empirically and theoretically examine super-diversity and the multi-dimensional shifts in migration patterns to which the notion refers. These shifts entail a worldwide diversification of migration channels, differentiations of legal statuses, diverging patterns of gender and age, and variance in migrants’ human capital. Across the contributions, super-diversity is subject to two modes of comparison: (a) side-by-side studies contrasting different places and emergent conditions of super-diversity; and (b) juxtaposed arguments that have differentially found use in utilizing or criticizing ‘super-diversity’ descriptively, methodologically or with reference to policy and public practice. The contributions discuss super-diversity and its implications in nine cities located in eight countries and four continents. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Book Synopsis Entangled Inequalities in Transnational Care Chains by : Anna Katharina Skornia
Download or read book Entangled Inequalities in Transnational Care Chains written by Anna Katharina Skornia and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a multi-sited ethnographic case study on transnational care chains between Milan (Italy) and Lima, Huancayo, and Cuzco (Peru), the book explores how social inequalities are reproduced through the care practices that follow the introduction of Peruvian migrants into home-based elderly care. Anna Katharina Skornia adopts an innovative approach in combining research on transnational care and migration with a perspective on entangled inequalities. In particular, the study sheds light on the role of state regulations in contributing to these inequalities as well as their ambiguous implications from the perspectives of both caregivers and receivers.
