Accountability Across Borders
Collecting the diverse perspectives of scholars, labor organizers, and human-rights advocates, Accountability across Borders is the first edited collection that connects studies of immigrant integration in host countries to accounts of transnational migrant advocacy efforts, including case studies from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Covering the role of federal, state, and local governments in both countries of origin and destinations, as well as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), these essays range from reflections on labor solidarity among members of the United Food and Commercial Workers in Toronto to explorations of indigenous students from the Maya diaspora living in San Francisco. Case studies in Mexico also discuss the enforcement of the citizenship rights of Mexican American children and the struggle to affirm the human rights of Central American migrants in transit. As policies regarding immigration, citizenship, and enforcement are reaching a flashpoint in North America, this volume provides key insights into the new dynamics of migrant civil society as well as the scope and limitations of directives from governmental agencies.
The Accidental American
With one immigrant’s story, two authors analyze America’s immigration system and suggest better, more human policies. The Accidental American calls for a bold new approach to immigration: a free international flow of labor to match globalization’s free flow of capital. After all, corporations are encouraged to move anywhere in the world they can maximize their earnings. People shouldn’t have to risk exploitation, abuse, and even imprisonment when they try to do the same. Activist, journalist, and immigration expert Rinku Sen and organizer Fekkak Mamdouh examine the consequences of this injustice through Mamdouh’s own story. Born in Morocco, he was a waiter and union leader at Windo...
Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood
Urban neighbourhoods have come to occupy the public imagination as a litmus test of migration, with some areas hailed as multicultural success stories while others are framed as ghettos. In an attempt to break down this dichotomy, Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood filters these debates through the lenses of geography, anthropology, and literary and cultural studies. By establishing the interdisciplinary concept of the 'transnational neighbourhood', it presents these localities – whether Clichy-sous-Bois, Belfast, El Segundo Barrio or Williamsburg – as densely packed contact zones where disparate cultures meet in often highly asymmetrical relations, producing a constantly shifting...
Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders
Transnational Mobility and Externalization of EU Borders: Social Work, Migration Management and Resistance addresses the topics of social work and international migration, with specific focus on the consequences of EU border externalization policies. The increasingly authoritarian character of EU border management raises a number of issues related to the role of social work within a context that is heavily charged, both ideologically and politically. After theoretically and historically contextualizing externalization with explicit attention to (neo)colonial genealogies of the current migration regimes, this book examines the complex inter-relations of social workers with key actors, namely ...
Mexican Hometown Associations in Chicagoacán
Chicago is home to the second-largest Mexican immigrant population in the United States, yet the activities of this community have gone relatively unexamined by both the media and academia. In this groundbreaking new book, Xóchitl Bada takes us inside one of the most vital parts of Chicago’s Mexican immigrant community—its many hometown associations. Hometown associations (HTAs) consist of immigrants from the same town in Mexico and often begin quite informally, as soccer clubs or prayer groups. As Bada’s work shows, however, HTAs have become a powerful force for change, advocating for Mexican immigrants in the United States while also working to improve living conditions in their com...
Latin America in Global International Relations
Using decades of their own insight into teaching undergraduate International Relations (IR) courses, leading experts offer an introduction to IR thinking throughout history in Latin America, unfolding ideas, voices, concepts and approaches from the region that can contribute to the broader Global IR discussion. The book highlights and discuss the growing possibility of a Latin American agency, defined broadly to include both material and ideational elements, in regional and international relations, covering areas where Latin America’s contributions are especially visible and relevant, such as regionalism, international law, security management, and Latin America’s relations with the outs...

Frontières en travail
Cet ouvrage rassemble des travaux qui analysent et décrivent ce qui arrive aujourd’hui aux frontières physiques de ces pays dont la proximité aux centres mondiaux du capitalisme réinvente le statut. De bords oubliés du monde, ces frontières désormais plantées sous les projecteurs des médias sont régulièrement montrées du doigt pour leur caractère crucial par les discours politiques. Mexique-USA, Maroc-Europe, ces lieux frontières sont devenus centraux, par la conjonction d’un double processus à bien des égards paradoxal. Car d’un côté, avec le renforcement d’un ensemble de dispositifs de fermeture et de contrôle du passage et du franchissement, ces frontières se v...
Granos de arena
La presente obra nace en un momento en el que parecía improbable que la democracia electoral fuera una salida para canalizar la inconformidad de la sociedad. La mayoría optó por la civilidad y un cauce institucional para combatir la corrupción, la impunidad y la desigualdad histórica que desangra al país. El reto para el presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador es de proporciones épicas. ¿Será este el tiempo para la consolidación democrática, la equidad y la justicia que tan desesperadamente necesita nuestro país?, o ¿será la etapa de una inadecuada planeación que asome retroceso y autoritarismo? El tiempo servirá para responder a estas interrogantes.
