Abstract

The book analyses how the immigrant was institutionalised as an existential threat to the European Union, especially since the 1990's. In addition to legislation and security measures, such as border control and visas, the book focuses on political discourses that identify immigration as a problem security, with campaigns by extremist parties and cases of racism against Muslims and individuals of Roman origin in the EU. It shows how this process is linked to the resistance of the Nation State as a place of political identity and condition of citizenship.

Abstract

"Through biographical narratives, Claiming Home traces how queer migrant women living in Switzerland navigate often contradictory perspectives on sexuality, gender, and nation. Situated between heteronormative and racialized stereotypes of migrant women on the one hand, and the implicitly white figure of the lesbian on the other, queer migrant women are often rendered ›impossible subjects.‹ Claiming Home maps how they negotiate conflicting loyalties in this field and how they, in their own way, claim a sense of belonging and home." -- from publisher's website.

Abstract

Over the years it has been shown that migrations are structural phenomena of our societies and not sporadic. However, in recent decades, both from governments, international organizations and academia, migrations have been associated with the concept of crisis. Why is human mobility still linked to the idea of an extraordinary event of modernity? Is migration a consequence of the crisis or a cause? How do different governments and international organizations construct the concept of migration crisis? Seeking to answer these and other questions, the chapters in this volume offer a critical look at the link between migration and crisis from different theoretical and geographical angles and invite us to rethink the limits of the very concept of migration crisis through twelve organized case studies. around the political analytical categories, environment and identity. A lo largo de los años se ha evidenciado que las migraciones son fenómenos estructurales de nuestras sociedades y no esporádicos. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas, tanto desde los gobiernos, los organismos internacionales como desde la academia, se han aso ciado las migraciones al concepto de crisis. ¿Por qué se sigue vinculando la movilidad humana a la idea de un evento extraordinario de la modernidad? ¿La migración es una consecuencia de la crisis o una causa? ¿Cómo construyen los distintos gobiernos y organismosinternacionales el concepto de crisis migratoria? Buscando responder a estos y otros interrogantes, los capítulos en este volumen ofrecen una mirada crítica al vínculo entre migración y crisis desde diferentes ángulos teóricos y geográfi cos e invitan a repensar los límites del propio concepto de crisis migratoria a través de doce estudios de caso organizados en torno a las categorías analíticas políticas, medioambiente e identidades.

Abstract

In 2020-2022, much of the world was at risk for catching COVID-19. This reprint, "Crimmigration in the Age of COVID-19," contributes to understanding immigration during the pandemic. It engages a cross-national and interdisciplinary case-study approach to show how countries carved out exceptions to public health protocols for migrants. In the immigration context a variety of governments weaponized public health protocols to criminalize and exclude migrants. The Trump Administration sadistically misplayed the pandemic at almost every turn. Trump came to power on the backs of migrants, referring to them as murderers and rapists. The intersection of Trump's COVID-19 and migration policies carved out space for the exceptional dehumanization of migrants in 2020-21. This reprint documents the weaponization of public through crimmigration. Crimmigration is the criminalization of migration and migrants via state-of-the-art surveillance and militarized technologies. During the worst of COVID-19, crimmigration strategies--mandatory detention and harsh exclusions- exacerbated the risk of transmission among migrants. Policies not migrants were to blame here. The ostensibly public health related Title42 actually pushed migrants, already at great risk, into unregulated shantytowns controlled by Mexican drug cartels. Additionally, migrants contended with detention facilities, medium security prisons, that functioned as Petrie dishes for the disease. We hope this reprint contributes to understanding the intersection of public health and crimmigration, and border penologies during these exceptional times.

Abstract

La dinámica actual de la migración internacional, uno de los fenómenos globales más intensos y desafiantes de nuestra época, ha mostrado signos de complejización en los años recientes. Plantea interrogantes de todo tipo, que se ven reflejadas en las agendas políticas, en las convenciones internacionales y en las relaciones entre los diferentes países que originan y reciben a las poblaciones migrantes; los efectos son también importantes en las familias y localidades de esas personas , así como en los poblados ubicados en sus rutas de tránsito. Este volumen está dividido en cuatro grandes apartados que abordan importantes aspectos de la migración: políticas sobre la migración en México; nuevas tendencias de la migración internacional y fenómenos emergentes; migración, economía y empleo; y derechos humanos de los migrantes.

Abstract

The landscape of European migration has changed considerably over the past decades, in particular after the fall of the iron curtain and again after the EU enlargement to the east. The author researches the phenomenon of highly qualified migration using the example of migration between the Czech Republic and Germany. The book reveals diverse strategies migrants use to respond to the possible de-valuation of their qualification, e.g. by making use of their language skills, starting new studies or using transnational knowledge.

Abstract

"The emotional, social, and economic challenges faced by migrants and their families are interconnected through complex decisions related to mobility. Tangled Mobilities examines the different crisscrossing and intersecting mobilities in the lives of Asian migrants, their family members across Asia and Europe, and the social spaces connecting these regions. In exploring how the migratory process unfolds in different stages of migrants' lives, the chapters in this collected volume broaden perspectives on mobility, offering insight into the way places, affects, and personhood are shaped by and connected to it"
