Associativismo Imigrante
Este número da Revista Migrações subordinado ao tema do associativismo imigrante tem como principal objectivo fornecer uma visão multifacetada das dinâmicas associativas das populações imigrantes a residir em Portugal. Como tal, este número temático constitui-se, como um espaço de divulgação de conhecimentos e de saberes, que pretende dar a conhecer a realidade do associativismo imigrante a partir do cruzamento de diferentes perspectivas e eixos de análise. Face à complexidade do fenómeno das migrações e do associativismo seria pretensiosa a tentativa de tratar de forma abrangente e exaustiva as múltiplas e distintas vertentes que configuram as práticas associativas imigrantes. Procurou-se, sim, oferecer aos leitores um conjunto de contributos importantes para o conhecimento do associativismo imigrante em Portugal, que evidenciam algumas das suas mais recentes tendências.

Civic Imagination
The Civic Imagination provides a rich empirical description of civic life and a broader discussion of the future of democracy in contemporary America. Over the course of a year, five researchers observed and participated in 7 civic organisations in a mid-sized US city. They draw on this ethnographic evidence to map the 'civic imaginations' that motivate citizenship engagement in America today. The book unpacks how contemporary Americans think about and act toward positive social and political change while the authors' findings challenge contemporary assertions of American apathy. This will be an important book for students and academics interested in political science and sociology.
House of Wrinkles
A young man born to an Angolan mother and a Portuguese father boards a plane to study law in Lisbon. Trying to fulfill his mother's wish of finding his paternal grandmother, and discovering what led his father to leave Angola for Portugal, he is swept up in the histories of both countries and in the anguish of those, like him, who have returned.
European Immigrations
This volume of the latest research in European migration embraces a continent-wide outlook on migration processes and accounts particularly from Southern and Eastern European perspectives. This is accomplished by analyzing the long-term transition that countries undergo from net emigration to net immigration, as well as developments in their migrant inflows, integration, and policy. The mix of authors—representing several academic centers across Europe yet pursuing a common vision of European migration past, present, and future—utilize new empirical evidence, specially designed and collected.
Medicine and Medical Ethics in Nazi Germany
The participation of German physicians in medical experiments on innocent people and mass murder is one of the most disturbing aspects of the Nazi era and the Holocaust. Six distinguished historians working in this field are addressing the critical issues raised by these murderous experiments, such as the place of the Holocaust in the larger context of eugenic and racial research, the motivation and roles of the German medical establishment, and the impact and legacy of the eugenics movements and Nazi medical practice on physicians and medicine since World War II. Based on the authors' original scholarship, these essays offer an excellent and very accessible introduction to an important and controversial subject. They are also particularly relevant in light of current controversies over the nature and application of research in human genetics and biotechnology.
Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for social Good, GOODTECHS 2021, held in September 2021. Due to COVID-19 pandemic the conference was held virtually. The 24 full papers presented were selected from 53 submissions and issue design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Social goods are products and services provided through private enterprises, government, or non-profit institutions and are related to healthcare, safety, sports, environment, democracy, computer science, and human rights. The papers are arranged in tracks on machine learning; IoT; social considerations of technology; technology and ageing; healthcare.
Immigrant Associations, Integration and Identity
This book sheds light on the integration processes and identity patterns of Angolan, Brazilian and Eastern European communities in Portugal. It examines the privileged position that immigrant organisations hold as interlocutors between the communities they represent and various social service mechanisms operating at national and local levels. Through the collection of ethnographic data and the realisation of 110 interviews with community insiders and middlemen, culled over a year's time, Joo Sardinha provides insight into how the three groups are perceived by their respective associations and representatives. Following up on the rich data is a discussion of strategies of coping with integration and identity in the host society and reflections on Portuguese social and community services and institutions.
