Abstract

This book by Johannes Kögel examines the role and uses of nationality for Zimbabwean migrants in South Africa. It explores the historical and contemporary migration patterns from Zimbabwe, focusing on the motivations, experiences, and legal challenges faced by migrants in South Africa. The book delves into the social dynamics between migrants and host communities, addressing issues such as hostility and the migrants' responses to adversity. By adopting a postcolonial sociological perspective, the author aims to provide insights into the complexities of migration and nationality in a postcolonial context. The intended audience includes scholars and students of sociology, migration studies, and postcolonial theory.

Abstract

Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. It is increasingly recognised that ethnonational frameworks are inadequate when examining the complexity of social life in contexts of migration and diversity. This book draws on ethnographic research in two UK secondary schools, considering the shifting roles of migration status, language, ethnicity, religion and precarity in young people's peer relationships. The book challenges culturalist understandings of social cohesion, highlighting the divisive impacts of neoliberalism, from pervasive temporariness and domestic abuse to technologization and neighbourhood violence. Using Martin Buber's relational model, the book explores the interplay of 'I-It' boundary-making with reciprocal 'I-Thou' encounters, pointing to the creative power of these encounters to subvert, reimagine, and even transform social difference. The author provides a pragmatic and ultimately hopeful view of the dynamics of diversity in everyday life, offering valuable insights for social policy and practice.

Abstract

Les migrations internationales sont des aventures et des expériences de personnes qui décident de quitter leur pays d'origine. Parfois c’est pour l’attrait de nouveaux horizons. Le but principal est de trouver un travail, de gagner de l'argent. Le rêve est parfois de faire fortune, parfois tout simplement de survivre. Les modalités de ces migrations sont très diverses, aventureuses et risquées. Elles suscitent compassion, admiration pour le courage et l’endurance, méfiance et hostilité aussi. La réalité du fait migratoire est extrêmement complexe. Il s’agit d’un fait majeur de transformation des sociétés et des personnes, dont il importe de développer une connaissance approfondie. Les migrations ne peuvent être réduites à une sorte de pulsion spontanée qui perdure depuis les déplacements des anciens terriens, à une simple pression démographique, à un déplacement de facteurs de production ou au seul angle de vue des personnes concernées. Cet ouvrage veut montrer que la migration est une réalité sociologique majeure aux multiples dimensions. L’analyse doit prendre en compte aussi bien les aspects vécus que les nombreuses facettes sociétales des faits migratoires, car ceux-ci influencent et déterminent structurellement les sociétés tant de départ que d’arrivée. Sans une approche globale et complexe des migrations, il n’est pas pensable de parvenir à une analyse lucide ni de mettre en place des politiques adéquates. Quelle société migratoire serait plus positive, moins chaotique et moins injuste ? C’est à cette question que l’auteur nous invite à réfléchir sans tabous. Pour contribuer à sortir des polémiques et des affrontements politiques et, peut-être, construire des axes porteurs de politiques migratoires, dont les pays européens et l’Union européenne, plus que tous autres, ont besoin.

Abstract

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. At once theoretically sophisticated and poignantly written, Constructed Movements centers stories from communities in Mexico profoundly affected by emigration to the United States to show how migration extracts resources along racial lines. Ragini Shah chronicles how three interrelated dynamics--the maldistribution of public resources, the exploitation of migrant labor, and the US immigration enforcement regime--entrench the necessity of migration as a strategy for survival in Mexico. She also highlights the alternative visions elaborated by migrant community organizations that seek to end the conditions that force migration. Recognizing that reform without recompense will never right an unjust migratory system, Shah concludes with a forceful call for the US and Mexican governments to make abolitionist investments and reparative compensation to directly counteract this legacy of extraction.

Abstract

Un livre d’histoire essentiel destiné aux ados - futurs citoyens - pour combattre les idées reçues et le racisme. De 1830 à nos jours, cet ouvrage retrace dans une chronologie précise l’histoire de l’accueil des étrangers en France, sous l‘angle original de leurs représentations à travers les époques. Agrémenté d’images d’archives, d’illustrations, de citations de journaux, d’épisodes-clés racontés en BD, de récits de vie de migrants, d’idées reçues décryptées, ce documentaire limpide met en lumière le rôle que les immigrés ont joué dans l’histoire de France, comme l’a rappelé l’actualité récente avec la panthéonisation de Missak et Mélinée Manouchian, et prouve que les stéréotypes, préjugés ou menaces brandies par l’extrême-droite, comme celle du grand remplacement, n’ont jamais été fondés.
