"Charts the unconventional lives and love affairs of a group of Nigerian migrants, making their way in Belgium. The collection is centred around Prosperous and her husband Agu, and the various visitors who gather at their apartment each week. These interconnected stories explore their struggles and triumphs, from unhappy marriages (of convenience or otherwise), to the pain of homesickness, and the tragic paradox in longing to leave Nigeria so that you may one day return to it."--Provided by publisher.

De voorbije eeuwen trokken er miljoenen Vlamingen weg uit hun eigen streek, op zoek naar een veiliger, beter of ander bestaan. Wie waren deze Vlaamse landverhuizers en gelukzoekers, oorlogs- en klimaatvluchtelingen, seizoensarbeiders en expats? Waarom verlieten ze huis en haard? Waar vestigden ze zich? Hoe werden ze in het buitenland onthaald? Met welke uitbuitingen, vernederingen, vooroordelen of aanpassingsproblemen kregen ze te maken? Het grote verhaal van de Vlaamse emigratie wordt aangevuld met kleine portretten en getuigenissen van Vlaamse emigranten vroeger en nu. Ook vandaag wonen er honderdduizenden Vlamingen elders in de wereld, verhuisd omwille van carrièrekansen of studie, omwille van het najagen van een droom of de liefde.

In 1891, officers of the United States Public Health Service began examining immigrants at the nation's borders for "loathsome and dangerous contagious diseases." First introduced as a means to screen out those who posed a threat to public health, the examinations were soon described by officials as a way of denying entry to applicants who could not work and would, therefore, be a burden on society. But historian Amy Fairchild has unearthed a curious fact about this ubiquitous rite of immigration--it was rarely undertaken to exclude immigrants. In 'Science at the Borders,' Fairchild retells the immigrant story, offering a new interpretation of the medical exam and the role it played in the lives of the 25 million immigrants who entered the US. She argues that the vast assembly line of flesh and bone served as a kind of initiation into the life of the new working class, one that would introduce men and women from the villages of eastern Europe and elsewhere to the norms and conventions of the factory floor. What the overwhelming majority of immigrants endured at Ellis Island and other entry points to the United States was, according to Fairchild, part of a process of induction into American industrial society. Against this backdrop Fairchild also explores the southern border of the United States and the West Coast where the exam did, in fact, serve to exclude. Throughout, Fairchild conveys the humanity of the story, offering detailed accounts of individual immigrants confronting a large scientific and medical bureaucracy.

Recent decades have seen migration history and issues increasingly featured in museums. "Museums and migration" explores the ways in which museum spaces - local, regional and national - have engaged with the history of migration, including internal migration, emigration and immigration. Its presents the latest innovative research from academics and museum practitioners and offers a comparative perspective on a global scale, bringing to light geo- and socio-political specificities. It includes an extensive range of international contributions from Europe, Asia and South America as well as settler societies such as Canada and Australia. "Museums and migration" charts and enlarges the developing body of research which concentrates on the analysis of the representation of migration in relation to the changing character of museums within society, examining their civic role and their function as key public arenas within civil society. It also aims to inform debates focusing on the way museums interact with processes of political and societal changes, and examines their agency and relationship to identity construction, community involvement, policy positions and discourses, ethics and moralities.
