Abstract

Increasing international migration, the information revolution and democratization have propelled a globalization of the domestic politics of many states and, although diasporic politics is not new, emigrant political participation in homeland politics has grown as well as adapted to the new methods of the information revolution. This book examines the participation of emigrants in their home country politics. It considers the consequences of such participation for domestic and foreign policies in both host and home country, and explores the theoretical implications for democracy, nationalism,

Abstract

This book provides an important shift in the analysis of Britain's policy towards the illegal postwar Jewish immigration into Palestine. It charts the development of Britain's response to Zionist immigration, from the initial sympathy, as embodied in the Balfour Declaration, through attempts at blockade, refoulement and finally disengagement.The book exposes differences in policy pursued by the great departments of state like the Foreign, Colonial and War Offices and their legal advisors, and those implemented by the Admiralty. The book argues that the eventual failure of Britain'

Abstract

Het hedendaagse debat over de multiculturele samenleving richt zich vooral op de moslims onder de migranten, nieuwkomers die met hun afwijkende religie en cultuur de seculiere westerse samenleving zouden bedreigen. De centrale vraag in de studie van Leo Lucassen is of het integratieproces van deze nieuwe migrantengroepen op een andere manier zal verlopen dan dat van groepen die in het verleden naar West-Europa kwamen. Hij maakt daarbij een vergelijking tussen een aantal grote en 'problematische' groepen in het verleden (Ieren in Engeland, Polen in Duitsland en Italianen in Frankrijk) en enkele vergelijkbare groepen die in de meer recente geschiedenis naar West-Europa migreerden (Caribische migranten in Engeland, Turken in Duitsland en Algerijnen in Frankrijk). Lucassen schetst een aantal opvallende overeenkomsten in de manier waarop migranten en hun nakomelingen in de samenleving integreerden. Hoewel de omstandigheden in de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw sterk veranderden - met name op het terrein van de sociale voorzieningen en de transport- en communicatiemiddelen - verwacht Lucassen niet dat het integratieproces van recente migranten daardoor fundamenteel zal verschillen van dat van eerdere migrantengroepen.

Abstract

This major comparative study of the social mobility of ethnic minorities in the US and UK argues that social mobility must be understood as a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon, incorporating the wealth and income of groups, but also their political power and social recognition. Written by leading sociologists, economists, political scientists, geographers, and philosophers in both countries, the volume addresses issues as diverse as education, work and employment, residential concentration, political mobilisation, public policy and social networks, while drawing larger lessons about the meaning of race and inequality in the two countries. While finding that there are important similarities in the experience of ethnic, and especially immigrant, groups in the two countries, the volume also concludes that the differences between the US and UK, especially in the case of American blacks, are equally important.
