Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this study explores the ideas of belonging and citizenship among former pro-autonomy East Timorese who have elected to settle indefinitely in West Timor. The study follows different East Timorese groups and examines various ways they construct and negotiate their socio-political identities following the violent and destructive separation from their homeland. The East Timorese might have had Indonesia as their destination when they left the eastern half of the island in the aftermath of the referendum, but they have not relinquished their cultural identities as East Timorese. The study highlights the significance of the notions of origin, ancestry and alliance in our understanding of East Timorese place-making and belonging to a particular locality. Another feature of belonging that informs East Timorese identity is their narrative of sacrifice to maintain connections with their homeland and move on with their lives in Indonesia. These sacrificial narratives elaborate an East Timorese spirit of struggle and resilience, a feature further exemplified in the transformation of their political activities within the Indonesian political system.

A Long Way to Go: Irregular Migration Patterns, Processes, Drivers and Decision-making presents the findings of a unique migration research program harnessing work of some of the leading international and Australian migration researchers on the challenging and complex topic of irregular maritime migration. The book brings together selected findings of the research program, and in doing so it contributes to the ongoing academic and policy discourses by providing findings from rigorous quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research to support a better understanding of the dynamics of irregular migration and their potential policy implications. Stemming from the 2012 Expert Panel on Asylum Seekers report, the Irregular Migration Research Program commissioned 26 international research projects involving 17 academic principal researchers, along with private sector specialist researchers, international organisations and policy think tanks. The centrepiece of the research program was a multi-year collaborative partnership between the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and The Australian National Universitys Crawford School of Public Policy. Under this partnership, empirical research on international irregular migration was commissioned from migration researchers in Australia, Indonesia, Iran, the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and Switzerland.

African Asylum at a Crossroads: Activism, Expert Testimony, and Refugee Rights examines the emerging trend of requests for expert opinions in asylum hearings or refugee status determinations. This is the first book to explore the role of court-based expertise in relation to African asylum cases and the first to establish a rigorous analytical framework for interpreting the effects of this new reliance on expert testimony. Over the past two decades, courts in Western countries and beyond have begun demanding expert reports tailored to the experience of the individual claimant. As courts incre

In The Sanctuary City, Domenic Vitiello argues that sanctuary means much more than the limited protections offered by city governments or churches sheltering immigrants from deportation. It is a wider set of protections and humanitarian support for vulnerable newcomers. Sanctuary cities are the places where immigrants and their allies create safe spaces to rebuild lives and communities, often through the work of social movements and community organizations, or civil society. Philadelphia has been an important center of sanctuary and reflects the growing diversity of American cities in recent decades. One result of this diversity is that sanctuary means different things for different immigrant, refugee, and receiving communities. Vitiello explores the migration, settlement, and local and transnational civil society of Central Americans, Southeast Asians, Liberians, Arabs, Mexicans, and their allies in the region across the late twentieth and early twenty-first century. Together, their experiences illuminate the diversity of immigrants and refugees in the United States and what is at stake for different people, and for all of us, in our immigration debates.

Este libro recoge las ponencias presentadas en las primeras jornadas sobre "Los refugiados españoles y la cultura mexicana", celebradas los días 14 y 15 de noviembre de 1994 en la Residencia de Estudiantes. El encuentro de protagonistas y estudiosos del exilio español de 1939 en México fue organizado conjuntamente por la Residencia y El Colegio de México, cuya estrecha relación ha tenido mucho que ver con el tema de las jornadas, idóneo, por tanto, para inaugurar la colaboración formal entre ambas entidades. Esta colaboración se ha visto posteriormente reforzada con la firma de un convenio entre El Colegio y la Residencia, que, entre otros objetivos comunes, establece la continuidad de los encuentros y prevé su celebración periódica, alternando la sede de los mismos entre la Residencia y El Colegio.

La Residencia de Estudiantes de Madrid y El Colegio de México son instituciones hermanadas por sus orígenes, su espíritu y sus objetivos. En efecto, varios de los españoles republicanos que se exiliaron en este país y fundaron El Colegio de México, institución que sería como su casa de jóvenes, habían sido -residentes- en aquel maravilloso edificio construido sobre -la colina de los chopos-. Asimismo, mexicanos como Alfonso Reyes o Silvio Zavala también fueron -residentes- en algún momento de sus vidas. Aquellos viejos conocidos obligaron a que ambas instituciones renovaran sus contactos y colaboraciones. Así en noviembre de 1994 tuvieron lugar en Madrid las primeras jornadas. Dos años después, en noviembre de 1996, se verificaron las segundas jornadas en la ciudad de México, cuyas ponencias hoy se publican en este libro. Ha habido otras obras en colaboración y otras que se avizoran ya en el horizonte. Para El Colegio de México es un gran honor compartir orígenes, esfuerzo y destino con la Residencia de Estudiantes, una de las más admirables instituciones de la mejor de las Españas.

Bad News for Refugees analyses the political, economic and environmental contexts of migration and looks specifically at how refugees and asylum seekers have been stigmatised in political rhetoric and in media coverage. Through forensic research it shows how hysterical and inaccurate media accounts act to legitimise political action which can have terrible consequences both on the lives of refugees and also on established migrant communities. Based on new research by the renowned Glasgow Media Group, Bad News for Refugees is essential reading for those concerned with the negative effects of media on public understanding and for the safety of vulnerable groups and communities in our society.
