Abstract

Migrating borders and moving times analyses migrant border crossings in relation to their everyday experiences of time and connects these to wider social and political structures. Sometimes border crossing takes no more than a moment; sometimes hours; some crossers find themselves in the limbo of detention; for others, the crossing lasts a lifetime to be interrupted only by death. Borders not only define separate spaces, but different temporalities. This book provides both a single interpretative frame and a novel approach to border crossing: an analysis of the reconfiguration of memory, personal and group time that follows the migrants' renegotiation of cross-border space and recalibrations of temporality.

Abstract

International borders have become deadly barriers of a proportion rivaled only by war or natural disaster. Yet despite the damage created by borders, most people can't - or don't want to - imagine a world without them. What alternatives do we have to prevent the deadly results of contemporary borders? In today's world, national citizenship determines a person's ability to migrate across borders. Migration Borders Freedom questions that premise. Recognizing the magnitude of deaths occurring at contemporary borders worldwide, the book problematizes the concept of the border and develops arguments for open borders and a world without borders. It explores alternative possibilities, ranging from the practical to the utopian, that link migration with ideas of community, citizenship, and belonging. The author calls into question the conventional political imagination that assumes migration and citizenship to be responsibilities of nation states, rather than cities. While the book draws on the theoretical work of thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, David Harvey, and Henry Lefebvre, it also presents international empirical examples of policies and practices on migration and claims of belonging. In this way, the book equips the reader with the practical and conceptual tools for political action, activist practice, and scholarly engagement to achieve greater justice for people who are on the move.

Abstract

Myanmar, the second biggest country in terms of area in mainland South East Asia, borders five neighboring countries: China, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, and Lao PDR. Myanmar's longest borders are with China (approximately 1,357 miles) and Thailand (approximately 1,314 miles), and it shares coastal waters with Malaysia and Singapore. Informal activities and informal moment of goods and people have been quite significant due to many factors. Although various policy measures have been developed to mitigate these informal activities, there has not been any study regarding the sources of these informal activities, their costs and benefits, impacts and consequences of the existence and non-existence of these activities, or how these activities could be mitigated without having significant negative economic and social impacts on the local people and the economy as the whole. This paper attempts to identify factors behind causes and effects of informal flows in goods and persons across the borders between Myanmar and its neighboring countries, especially China and Thailand, and to address related issues and possible policy implications. This paper is a result of various surveys and studies in many places in Myanmar, Lao PDR, Thailand, and China from 2005 to 2009 under several research projects.

Abstract

When American occupiers broke up the Japanese empire in the wake of World War II, approximately 1.7 million people departed Japan for various parts of Northeast Asia. The mass exodus was spearheaded by Koreans, many of whom chartered small fishing vessels to ship them back quickly to their liberated homeland, while wartime devastation hampered the return of Okinawans to their archipelago. By the time the officially endorsed repatriation program was inaugurated, however, increasing numbers of people began escaping US military rule in southern Korea and the Ryukyu Islands by smuggling themselves into occupied Japan. How and why did these migrants move across borderlines newly drawn by American occupiers in the region? Their personal stories reveal what liberation and defeat meant to displaced peoples, and how the compounding challenges of their resettlement led to the expansion of smuggling networks. The consequent surge of unauthorized border-crossings spurred occupation authorities into forging exclusionary migration regulations. Through a comparative study of Korean and Okinawan experiences during the postwar occupation era, Matthew Augustine explores how their migrations shaped, and were in turn shaped by, American policies throughout the region. This is the first comprehensive study of the dynamic and often contentious relationship between migrations and border controls in US-occupied Japan, Korea, and the Ryukyus, examining the American interlude in Northeast Asia as a closely integrated, regional history. The extent of cooperation and coordination among American occupiers, as well as their competing jurisdictions and interests, determined the mixed outcome of using repatriation and deportation as expedient tools for dismantling the Japanese empire. The heightening Cold War and deepening collaboration between the occupiers and local authorities coproduced stringent migration laws, generating new problems of how to distinguish South Koreans from North Koreans and “Ryukyuans” from Japanese. In occupied Japan, fears of communist infiltration and subversion merged with deep-seated discrimination, transforming erstwhile colonial subjects into “aliens” and “illegal aliens.” This transregional history explains the process by which Northeast Asia and its respective populations were remade between the fall of the Japanese empire and the rise of American hegemony.

Abstract

In this groundbreaking work, Kamal Sadiq reveals that most of the world's undocumented immigrants are not migrating directly to the US, but to countries in the vast developing world, where they are able to obtain citizenship papers fairly easily. Sadiq introduces "documentary citizenship" to explain how paperwork--often falsely obtained--confers citizenship on undocumented immigrants. Across the globe, there are literally tens of millions of such undocumented immigrants who have assumed the guise of "citizens." Who, then, is really a citizen? And what does citizenship mean for most of the world's peoples? Rendered in vivid detail, Paper Citizens not only shows how undocumented immigrants acquire false papers, but also sheds light on the consequences this will have for global security in the post 9/11 world--adapted from Google Books

Abstract

Les gouvernements des pays du Nord rêvent d’un monde où les populations pauvres des pays du Sud seraient retenues par une frontière globale que seule une minorité choisie pourrait traverser. Pourtant, des hommes, des femmes et des enfants des pays du Sud continuent à quitter leur terre pour s’aventurer vers le Nord, définissant l’un des enjeux politiques et humanitaires majeurs du 21e siècle. Qui sont les migrants clandestins ? Quelle frontière se matérialise à leur passage ? Quels sont les effets de cette frontière ? Ce livre offre une réponse à partir de la migration centraméricaine vers les États-Unis qui traverse l’un des systèmes frontaliers les plus sophistiqués, les plus complexes et les plus dangereux de la planète : la frontière sud des États-Unis et son externalisation au Mexique. Cet ouvrage alliant sociologie, ethnographie et relations internationales, fruit de nombreuses recherches de terrain en Amérique centrale, au Mexique et aux États-Unis est une enquête bouleversante au cœur de la migration, qui invite à réfléchir sur les effets du décalage entre les contrôles frontaliers et la réalité des flux migratoires. Cet ouvrage a reçu le Prix de thèse des PSN en 2014 et est préfacé par Catherine WITHOL DE WENDEN. Los gobiernos de los países del Norte sueñan con un mundo en el que las poblaciones pobres de los países del Sur serían inmovilizadas por una frontera global que solo dejaría pasar a pequeños contingentes de migrantes escogidos. Sin embargo, hombres, mujeres y niños provenientes del Sur global continúan dejando su tierra para aventurarse hacia el Norte, definiendo uno de los mayores retos políticos y humanitarios del siglo 21. ¿Que empuja los migrantes indocumentados a partir? ¿Qué frontera se manifiesta ante ellos? ¿Cuáles son los efectos de los controles fronterizos? Este libro propone una respuesta a partir de historias de la migración entroamericana hacia Estados Unidos que transita por uno de los sistemas fronterizos más sofisticados,…
