Migraciones en el orden hegemónico contemporáneo del sistema-mundo moderno
Este libro avanza en la tesis de la existencia de un vínculo entre las migraciones y el actual proceso de reconfiguración hegemónica, que parece delinearse desde los Estados Unidos hacia China, observando la migración en las dinámicas de la acumulación de capital a escala mundial. En este panorama, se estudian estrategias de instrumentalización de los fenómenos del auge y visibilización de las migraciones en tránsito para acceder a territorios estratégicos, como ocurre en la selva del Darién, en Centroamérica; o de la producción de la fronterización de los Estados Unidos y la detención de migrantes en México, en un régimen de movilidad y producción de inmovilidad en Nortea...
Migration and the Contested Politics of Justice
This book discusses the politics of justice in relation to migration addressing both the controversies of governance and the active role of migrants’ struggles in shaping the materiality of justice. Considering justice and migration as globally contested fields, the book questions received wisdoms of European migration politics, including images of a migratory ‘crises’, the reconfiguration of the borders of justice, and the spurious pretensions of controlling and governing mobility. Gathering global scholars from migration studies, international relations and critical theory, as well as social activists, it advances an extended concept of contestation that goes beyond the simple clash ...
La economía global localizada: entre los lugares de producción y consumo
Esta obra colectiva se inserta dentro de la línea de investigación «Los actores sociales en los lugares de producción y consumo», desarrollada en el marco del grupo de investigación «Problemas Sociales en Andalucía». A través de la articulación de once capítulos, escritos por veinticinco investigadores e investigadoras asociados a esta línea, se muestra el proceso de localización de la economía global, tomando como ejemplo la empresa transnacional.

The World of Mexican Migrants
Describes the personal stories of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. and why they were no longer able to make a living in their homeland following economic and political changes in the 1900s.
The World of Mexican Migrants
Widely praised as a splendid addition to the literature on the great wave of post–;1970 immigration from Mexico—as a result of which an estimated 6 million undocumented Mexican migrants now live in the United States—The World of Mexican Migrants, by acclaimed author Judith Adler Hellman, takes us into the lives of those who, no longer able to eke out even a modest living in their homeland, have traveled north to find jobs. Hellman takes us deep into the sending communities in Mexico, where we witness the conditions that lead Mexicans to risk their lives crossing the border and meet those who live on Mexico's largest source of foreign income, remittances from family members al Norte. We...
Carnalities
In Carnalities, Mariana Ortega presents a phenomenological study of aesthetics grounded in the work of primarily Latinx artists. She introduces the idea of carnal aesthetics informed by carnalities, creative practices shaped by the self’s affective attunement to the material, cultural, historical, communal, and spiritual. For Ortega, carnal aesthetics offers a way to think about the affective and bodily experiences of racialized selves. Drawing on Gloria Anzaldúa, Chela Sandoval, José Esteban Muñoz, Alia Al-Saji, Helen Ngo, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Roland Barthes, and others, Ortega examines photographic works on Latinx subjects. She analyzes the photography of Laura Aguilar, Verónica Ga...
Popular Sovereignty and Constituent Power in Latin America
This book combines a bottom-up and top-down approach to the study of social movements in relationship to the development of constituent and constituted power in Latin America. The contributors to this volume argue that the radical transformation of liberal representative democracy into participative democracy is what colours these processes as revolutionary. The core themes include popular sovereignty, constituted power, constituent power, participatory democracy, free trade agreements, social citizenship, as well as redistribution and recognition issues. Unlike other collections, which provide broad coverage of social movements at the expense of depth, this book is of thematic focus and illuminates the relationships between rulers and ruled as they transform liberal democracy.
Life Configurations
Life Configurations focuses on the analysis and reflection on the various forms in which human beings imagine, design, conjecture, and plan their “becoming”, that is to say their lives. Case studies written by an interdisciplinary circle of well-known academics explore how the capacity of designing life, the concept of free will, and the methods to calculate the future have been changed and adopted in different societies and in different ages.

Migration and Health
The study of migrant populations poses unique challenges owing to the mobility of these groups, which may be further complicated by cultural, educational, and linguistic diversity as well as the legal status of their members. These barriers limit the usefulness of both traditional survey sampling methods and routine public health surveillance systems. Since nearly 1 in 7 people in the world is a migrant, appropriate methodological approaches must be designed and implemented to capture health data from populations. This effort is particularly important because migrant populations, in comparison to other populations, typically suffer disparities related to limited access to health care, greate...
