Abstract

Incorporating both interview and workplace data, this book examines the discursive and social challenges that former refugees encounter as they navigate successes and failures in the New Zealand labour market. Over five chapters of microlevel discourse analysis – drawing on Bamberg & Georgakopoulou’s (2008) positioning, and interactional sociolinguistic literature – themes emerge of narrative, social and cultural capital (Bourdieu, 1986), linguistic agency, and wider capital-D Discourses (Gee, 1990) surrounding refugeehood. Of particular interest in this study is the inclusion of a longitudinal study of former refugees’ trajectories in the labour market, and the combination of both interview and authentic workplace interactional data, providing rich insight into the multiple and ongoing challenges new arrivals face in their negotiation of employability. This book will be of interest to those engaged in research around migration (particularly those focused on forced migration), employment, language and identity, and narrative identity.

Abstract

Undocumented migration is a huge global phenomenon, yet little is known about the reality of life for those involved. Sans Papiers combines a contemporary account of the theoretical and policy debates with an in-depth exploration of the lived experiences of undocumented migrants in the UK from Zimbabwe, China, Brazil, Ukraine and Turkish Kurdistan. Built around their voices, the book provides a unique understanding of migratory processes, gendered experiences and migrant aspirations. Moving between the uniqueness of individual experience and the search for commonalities, the book explores the ambiguities and contradictions of being an undocumented migrant. With its insights into personal experiences alongside analysis of wider policy issues, Sans Papiers will have wide appeal for students, academics, policy-makers and practitioners.

Abstract

Ésta es una macrohistoria de México, desde la perspectiva de los extranjeros que inmigraron al país y de los mexicanos que emigraron de él, basada mayormente en fuentes primarias impresas, fuentes inéditas y monografías. En el tercer volumen (1910-1970) se estudia la Revolución mexicana, boxer según los extranjeros afectados por ella, nacionalista según el gobierno mexicano y grandes sectores populares. En la década de los veinte regresa a México buen número de mormones que se habían refugiado en Estados Unidos, y llegan menonitas, judíos, sirios y libaneses, principalmente. La crisis de 1929 expulsó a muchos mexicanos de Estados Unidos y a muchos chinos de México, sobre todo del noroeste. Con la explosión demográfica y la segunda guerra mundial cobra una fuerza aún mayor la emigración de los braceros a Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, en la década de los cuarenta llegan los españoles republicanos; a partir de los cincuenta, estadunidenses jubilados, y en los setenta veteranos de la guerra de Vietnam.

Abstract

Ésta es una macrohistoria de México, desde la perspectiva de los extranjeros que inmigraron al país y de los mexicanos que emigraron de él, basada mayormente en fuentes primarias impresas, fuentes inéditas y monografías. En el segundo volumen, ya establecida la libertad de cultos, se abre una atmósfera liberal que disminuye el problema de escoger entre inmigrantes sajones y latinos. Entre los primeros sobresale la colonización mormona; entre los segundos, la italiana. El tradicional recelo frente a los estadunidenses transforma la xenofilia en xenofobia. Además, la creciente salida de braceros a Estados Unidos confirma que México es un país de emigración y no de inmigración.

Abstract

Noncitizens have always been present in liberal political philosophy. Often hard to situate within traditional frameworks that prioritise citizenship, noncitizens can appear voiceless and rightsless, which has implications for efforts towards global justice and justice in migration. This book proposes an alternative. Noncitizenism identifies an analytical category of noncitizenship. While maintaining the importance of citizenship, noncitizenship is another form of special individual-State relationship. It operates far from a State, at its borders, and within its territory, providing a tool for examining the continuity between sites of engagement and the literatures, questions, and conclusions relating to them. The book argues that an accurate liberal theoretical framework, and one which can address contemporary challenges, must acknowledge the political relationship of noncitizenship between individuals and States. This book is for students and scholars of political philosophy and for those interested in noncitizenship and how it can inform the response of liberal theory, citizenship, global justice, migration studies, political theory and policy work.

Abstract

Collecting the diverse perspectives of scholars, labor organizers, and human-rights advocates, Accountability across Borders is the first edited collection that connects studies of immigrant integration in host countries to accounts of transnational migrant advocacy efforts, including case studies from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Covering the role of federal, state, and local governments in both countries of origin and destinations, as well as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), these essays range from reflections on labor solidarity among members of the United Food and Commercial Workers in Toronto to explorations of indigenous students from the Maya diaspora living in San Francisco. Case studies in Mexico also discuss the enforcement of the citizenship rights of Mexican American children and the struggle to affirm the human rights of Central American migrants in transit. As policies regarding immigration, citizenship, and enforcement are reaching a flashpoint in North America, this volume provides key insights into the new dynamics of migrant civil society as well as the scope and limitations of directives from governmental agencies.
