Crises and Migration
This book critically examines the association between the notions of crisis and migration in the context of Latin America, and from three different perspectives: first, it analyzes the discourses based on the concept of crisis employed by the media, academic researchers, civil society organizations and the state to frame human mobility issues; second, it investigates migrants’ agency under conditions of crisis; and third, it discusses whether “migration crisis” is a conjunctural or structural phenomenon in the region. Chapters in this contributed volume investigate the crisis-migration nexus in seven Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragu...

Material Culture and (Forced) Migration
Material Culture and (Forced) Migration argues that materiality is a fundamental dimension of migration. During journeys of migration, people take things with them, or they lose, find and engage things along the way. Movements themselves are framed by objects such as borders, passports, tents, camp infrastructures, boats and mobile phones. This volume brings together chapters that are based on research into a broad range of movements – from the study of forced migration and displacement to the analysis of retirement migration. What ties the chapters together is the perspective of material culture and an understanding of materiality that does not reduce objects to mere symbols. Centring on ...
Left in Transformation
This book takes an innovative look at international relations. Focusing on the worldwide campaign against abuses by the right-wing authoritarian regime in Uruguay (1973-1984), it explores how norms and ideas interact with political interests, both global and domestic. It examines joint actions by differently-motivated actors such as the leftist activists who had to flee Uruguay in these years, the Organization of American States, The United Nations, Amnesty International, and the United States. It traces language and procedures for making their claims. The chief goal, however, is to peruse the specific reasons that led these actors to endorse the central core of liberal rights that gave foundation to this system. A close examination of the available documents shows that even as they joined efforts to protest abuses, they were still pursuing their individual agendas, which is often overlooked in the existing scholarship on human rights transnational activism. The book pays special attention to the Uruguayan exiles, analyzing why and how leftist activists and leaders adopted the human rights language, which had so far been used to attack communism in the context of the Cold War.
Migración de retorno
Este libro propone como objetivo analizar las experiencias de vida de los migrantes retornados, haciendo énfasis en América Latina, y la manera en que distintos gobiernos han tratado este fenómeno a través de políticas migratorias.
Migrações e Exílios no Mundo Contemporâneo
Fruto de perseguições políticas ou religiosas, os exílios marcam o nosso actual quotidiano com imagens que parecem repetir o martírio sofrido pelos exilados do século passado. A visão de campos de refugiados e de crianças amontoadas em balsas em pleno Mediterrâneo lembra-nos cenas antigas, como as da “Retirada” dos republicanos espanhóis através dos Pireneus, em Fevereiro de 1939, ou as fugas em massa durante a Segunda Guerra. A Europa conflituosa e ditatorial gerou a saída de um grande contingente populacional para o território latino-americano. A partir da segunda metade do século passado, as ditaduras latinoamericanas cuidaram para que a rota em busca da liberdade fosse ...
Exilio, diáspora y retorno
Este libro estudia, desde el análisis de las trayectorias personales y la inserción institucional, cómo Argentina, Chile, Paraguay y Uruguay se vieron afectados por las experiencias del exilio y el posexilio. Se intenta revelar cómo la variada experiencia transnacional de aquellos intelectuales, académicos, artistas, profesionales y activistas políticos y sociales contribuyó, durante y luego del destierro, a democratizar el campo cultural y a renovar algunas de las ideas e instituciones de estas sociedades. El exilio y el destierro son algunos de los legados del autoritarismo en estos países; se trató de un proceso que incluyó proscripción, desplazamientos forzados, expatriaciones...
