Abstract

This paper analyses the attractiveness of the EU’s Blue Card Directive – the flagship of the EU’s labour immigration policy – for so-called ‘highly qualified’ immigrant workers from outside the EU. For this purpose, the paper deconstructs the understanding of ‘attractiveness’ in the Blue Card Directive as shaped by the various EU decision-making actors during the legislative process. It is argued that the Blue Card Directive sets forth minimum standards providing for a common floor –not a common ceiling: the Directive did not, as originally envisaged by the European Commission, create one European highly skilled admission scheme. This raises questions regarding its concreteuse. A critical focus is placed on the personal scope of the Blue Card Directive and the level of rights offered, and a first comparative perspective on the implementation of the Directive in five member states is provided.

Abstract

Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies provides an intimate examination of the everyday lives and suffering of Mexican migrants in our contemporary food system. An anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, Holmes shows how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. Holmes's material is visceral and powerful. He trekked with his companions illegally through the desert into Arizona and was jailed with them before they were deported. He lived with indigenous families in the mountains of Oaxaca and in farm labor camps in the U.S., planted and harvested corn, picked strawberries, and accompanied sick workers to clinics and hospitals. This "embodied anthropology" deepens our theoretical understanding of the ways in which social inequalities and suffering come to be perceived as normal and natural in society and in health care. All of the book award money and royalties from the sales of this book have been donated to farm worker unions, farm worker organizations and farm worker projects in consultation with farm workers who appear in the book.

Abstract

"Talleres, fábricas, pobreza y una casa en la que sobran las personas y falta el alimento, es el entorno familiar de Walter y sus hermanos Wilbert, Waldo y Wilberto en tierras hondureñas. Son parte de la familia Milla Funes, con la que perseguirán el sueño americano y habrán que pagar el precio de ser indocumentados en México: robo, vejaciones, hambre, persecución, tortura, secuestro y asesinato. Sus primeros intentos de llegar al norte terminarán con el abuso de las autoridades y en una series de desgracias. Mientras tanto, el primo Valente desaparecerá a mitad de uno de los viajes, Waldo se caerá del emblemático tren conocido como "La Besia" y Elena, de quien Walter se enamorará en el camino, vivirá lo indecible y optarar por retraerse y enmudecer. En su último intento, Walter guiará a un grupo de migrantes con quienes vivirá encerrado en un tren con la promesa de ser llevados al norte, cuando en realidad serán caranada para extorsionar a sus familiares. Los secuestradores lo eligirán para convertirse en uno de ellos. ¿Tracionará a los suyos? ¿Por qué tanta crueldad con los indocumentados que intentan cruzar México rumbo a Estados Unidos?, ¿por qué siendo víctimas de las mismas circunstancias nos convertimos en peores verdugos?"--Page 4 of cover.
