En las últimas décadas Chile no ha estado ajeno a las dinámicas de aumento de la inmigración originando un fuerte impacto en la opinión pública. En este escenario, se debe sumar el cierre de fronteras producto de la pandemia y de las políticas de seguridad instaladas por algunos gobiernos, quedando múltiples grupos de inmigrantes y de refugiados sujetos a una mayor indefensión. El presente libro es fruto del quehacer académico de investigadores jóvenes titulados de Analistas en Políticas y Asuntos Internacionales de la Universidad de Santiago de Chile, que han encontrado en los desplazamientos humanos un lugar para desarrollar sus primeros acercamientos a la investigación y que representan el interés por la temática de las nuevas generaciones. Con la finalidad de fomentar el trabajo realizado por estos jóvenes investigadores en el área migratoria y potenciarlos, resulta esencial la difusión de sus propuestas con una publicación como esta, convirtiéndose dicho objetivo en uno de los principales fines de este texto.

Urbanisation in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, poses challenges to urban living conditions. Despite large scale housing programmes from the side of the government, construction and settling processes have largely remained incremental. Nadine Appelhans focuses on the relation between statutory planning and practices of everyday urbanisation. The findings from Bahir Dar suggest that some mundane regimes of building the city are patronised, while others are considered undesired by policy makers. Based on this insight, the author argues that urban development in Bahir Dar needs to be locally grounded, differentiated and inclusive to avoid further tendencies of segregation.

This edited collection showcases the contribution of women to the development of political ideas during the Enlightenment, and presents an alternative to the male-authored canon of philosophy and political thought. Over the course of the eighteenth century increasing numbers of women went into print, and they exploited both new and traditional forms to convey their political ideas: from plays, poems and novels to essays, journalism, annotated translations and household manuals, as well as dedicated political tracts. Recently, considerable scholarly attention has been paid to women's literary writing and their role in salon society, but their participation in political debates is less well studied. This volume offers new perspectives on some better known authors such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Catharine Macaulay and Anna Laetitia Barbauld, as well as neglected figures from the British Isles and continental Europe. The collection advances discussion of how best to understand women's political contributions during the period, the place of salon sociability in the political development of Europe, and the interaction between discourses on slavery and those on women's rights. It will interest scholars and researchers working in women's intellectual history and Enlightenment thought and serve as a useful adjunct to courses in political theory, women's studies, the history of feminism and European history.

Elisabeth Huber untersucht in ihrer Studie die Möglichkeiten umweltgerechten Handelns der ärmeren städtischen Bevölkerungsschichten im urbanen Raum Westafrikas. Dazu analysiert sie die Praktiken der Abfall- und Abwasserentsorgung in Bamako (Mali) und Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) unter den dafür relevanten ökonomischen, sozialen und kulturellen Bedingungen. Neben der Erörterung von Armut anhand monetärer Aspekte, fehlender Verwirklichungschancen sowie familiärer und nachbarschaftlicher Solidaritätsstrategien stellt sie die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang von Umweltbewusstsein, Umweltverschmutzung, Umweltschutz, Wohn- und Lebensbedingungen, Infrastruktur und dem »Recht auf Stadt«.

"This history describes and analyses brothel prostitution in Singapore between 1870 and 1940. The vital role of Chinese and Japanese prostitutes in sustaining Singapore's pre-war economy and society has not been fully recognized. Starting with village backgrounds in rural China and Japan, and the hazards of the trade in women and children, the author follows the prostitutes through their encounters with brothel life in general, and in particular explores their routines and crises of earning, spending, social relations, leisure, mobility, disease, and death. A rare portrait of the daily lives of the ah ku and karayuki-san emerges. It is also a historical account of human nature, of human relationships compelled by the pride and prejudice of the human spirit. The author has used Coroners Inquests and Inquiries, statistical and other records, as well as photographs and oral reminiscences to resurrect the lives of the ah ku and karayuki-san." "By organizing the case material around themes relating to the workplace and working conditions, the author has converted a mass of depositions into an 'inner history', evoking a milieu and sentiment whose details were often clouded by an atmosphere of unease, irony, and danger: of Loh Sai Soh's fatal objection to Lam Loh Suh leaving the brothel: of Otoyo and her penalized client of two years, Lance-Corporal Albert Chacksfield; of the beautiful Duya Hadachi, her experiences of a relationship strained beyond endurance, and the deadly struggle between her paramours; and many, many others. Such ordinary people tumble from the pages of the records: they talk about choice of partners, love and betrayal, desperation and alienation, drawing us into their lives. These short vignettes turn out to have remarkable implications for the pace and texture of Ah Ku and Karayuki-san, and for stitching together a tapestry of poverty, sexual antagonisms, subordination, and conflict in the social history of prostitutes' and coolies' experiences. Combining a life-span approach with collective biography, the author has created a personal history of the ah ku and karayuki-san's times closely based on intimate experience, while still paying careful attention to the larger historical influences - the institutions, processes, and interactions - which determined their fates in Singapore. This social history is the companion volume to Rickshaw Coolie: A People's History of Singapore (1880-1940)."--Jacket.
