Abstract

Outsiders No More? brings together a multidisciplinary group of scholars to consider pathways by which immigrants may be incorporated into the political processes of western democracies. At a time when immigrants are increasingly significant political actors in many democratic polities, this volume makes a timely and valuable intervention by pushing researchers to articulate causal dynamics, provide clear definitions and measurable concepts, and develop testable hypotheses. By including historians, sociologists, and political scientists, by ranging across North America and Western Europe, by addressing successful and failed incorporative efforts, this handbook offers guides for anyone seeking to develop a dynamic, unified, and supple model of immigrant political incorporation.

Abstract

In Migration and Membership Regimes editors Ulbe Bosma, Gijs Kessler and Leo Lucassen bring together ten essays in an analytical framework which looks beyond the Transatlantic migration of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in a deliberate attempt to incorporate the experience of earlier periods and other continents into historical migration studies. The focus of analysis is on the mechanisms of interaction between polities, from city-states and emerging statehoods to empires, and migrants joining or taking over these polities, by force, choice or co-optation. It reconceptualises the migrant-state relationship as an engagement over the terms of membership and explores the variety of different outcomes this has had across time and space. Contributors include: Nicholas Breyfogle, Derek Heng, Ralph W. Mathisen, Christel Müller, Mu-chou Poo, Susan Elizabeth Ramírez, Ibrahima Thiaw, Maartje van Gelder, Mark D. Varien.

Abstract

The issues around settlement, belonging, and poor relief have for too long been understood largely from the perspective of England and Wales. This volume offers a pan-European survey that encompasses Switzerland, Prussia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Britain. It explores how the conception of belonging changed over time and space from the 1500s onwards, how communities dealt with the welfare expectations of an increasingly mobile population that migrated both within and between states, the welfare rights that were attached to those who "belonged," and how ordinary people secured access to we

Abstract

Der sprachliche Umgang mit Migration ist nicht selten Gegenstand von Auseinandersetzungen: Was wird gesagt? Was wird nicht gesagt? Wie wird es gesagt? Was darf und was darf nicht gesagt werden? Anliegen der Autorinnen und Autoren ist es aufzudecken, auf welche Weise „Sprache“ und „Sprechen“ im Kontext von Migration – als Gegenstand und als Medium – wirken. Aus der Perspektive der interkulturellen Bildungsforschung und der sozialwissenschaftlichen Migrationsforschung wird analysiert, wie sich sprachliche Hegemonie ausprägt und welche Macht Sprache entfalten kann. Die Beiträge diskutieren zum einen die Rechtmäßigkeit von Sprache(n) und Sprechen sowie dessen Reglementierung und führen zum anderen exemplarisch Untersuchungsmöglichkeiten in der Migrationsforschung vor.

Abstract

"Verso quale integrazione?" è la domanda che l'Italia deve porsi a fronte della consistenza raggiunta dalla seconda generazione di migranti (i figli degli immigrati stranieri). Quale modello di integrazione occorre seguire? Quello inclusivo degli Stati Uniti al tempo delle grandi migrazioni, orientato verso l'assimilazione culturale e la mobilità sociale, o quello della Francia contemporanea, apparentemente egualitario ma in realtà votato all'esclusione sociale e alla resistenza culturale? Il volume affronta questo nodo passando in rassegna i paradigmi teorici e i riscontri empirici proposti dalle scienze sociali, che hanno prontamente evidenziato le attuali criticità. Destano allarme, in particolare, le difficoltà riscontrate nella scuola. La tendenza dei giovani stranieri a prediligere percorsi brevi e orientati a un immediato inserimento lavorativo si pone in contraddizione con l'avvento della società della conoscenza, nella quale il successo professionale non è affatto garantito se non con adeguati strumenti e predisposizioni. Si rischia così di creare una sacca di marginalità che potrebbe provocare gravi conflitti sociali e mettere a repentaglio la coesione sociale delpaese.--
