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.

Global Change and Human Mobility
This book demonstrates the benefits of applying a new interdisciplinary approach that combines global change and human mobility. The term "globility" was coined in the year 2000 when the commission with the same name was created by the International Geographical Union with the purpose of theorizing about and asserting the concept of human mobility. First the book offers theoretical reviews of human mobility. Then it proceeds to study patterns of mobility in today's world as it faces new challenges in migration policies (including border controls, management of refugee movements, social initiatives to empower unauthorized immigrants), the integration issue, environmental hazards, and so on. The response to these diverse challenges reveals an increasing fluidity of human mobility and new forms of engagement of people on the move. Readers will obtain a better understanding of current human mobility from a large number of regions and from different thematic perspectives.
Reflexive Ethnography
Reflexive Ethnography is a unique guide to ethnographic research for students of anthropology and related disciplines. It provides practical and comprehensive guidance to ethnographic research methods, but also encourages students to develop a critical understanding of the philosophical basis of ethnographic authority.

This revised and updated second edition includes: a new chapter on internet-based research and ‘interethnography’ chapters on selection of topics and methods, data collec...

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.
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.
