Folklore, Religion and the Songs of a Bengali Madman
This book explores historical and cultural aspects of modern and contemporary Bengal through the performance-centred study of a particular repertoire: the songs of the saint-composer Bhaba Pagla (1902-1984), who is particularly revered among Baul and Fakir singers. The author shows how songs, if examined as 'sacred scriptures', represent multi-dimensional texts for the study of South Asian religions. Revealing how previous studies about Bauls mirror the history of folkloristics in Bengal, this book presents sacred songs as a precious symbolic capital for a marginalized community of dislocated and unorthodox Hindus, who consider the practice of singing in itself an integral part of the path towards self-realization.
Deniz ÖZYAKIŞIR
İnsanlık tarihi kadar kadim bir geçmişi olan göç olgusu günümüzde de ülkelerin karşı karşıya kaldıkları önemli bir sosyoekonomik sorun olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın özgünlüğü, göç olgusunu hem kuramsal açıdan ele alması hem de bölgesel bir uygulama ile göçün çok boyutlu etkilerine yer vermesidir. Kısacası, teoriyi pratikle zenginleştiren bu çalışma, aynı zamanda bölgesel etkiler noktasında göç ve bölgesel kalkınma ilişkisine de yer vermektedir. Çalışmanın bir diğer ayırt edici özelliği ise, birçok akademik uğraşta sosyolojik bir olgu olarak incelenen göç olgusunun burada ekonomik olarak analiz edilip ekonometrik bir modelle sunulmasıdır. Bununla birlikte göç ile ilgili orijinal metinlere doğrudan ulaşılarak ve tercümeler yapılarak kuramsal çerçeve oluşturulmuştur. Bu, bir göç kuramının, kuramı geliştiren kişinin doğrudan ifadeleriyle okuyucuya aktarılması bakımından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmada yer verilen geniş çaplı yerli ve yabancı göç literatürünün de göç konusunda bilimsel çalışma yapacaklara yararlı ve yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Migration and Development in Africa
There are only a few studies that analyze the complex relationship between Migration and development in Africa. The book presents the main trends in African migration since the last two decades. It analyzes the major migration trends, the various migration hubs across the continent and the underlying factors explaining the changing nature of migration across the continent. A few of the chapters in the book examine the phenomenon of migration from a national perspective by focusing on migration trends in countries such as Ghana, Cameroon, Kenya, and Nigeria. Two chapters examine the migration links between Africa and Europe with one of them focusing on the political links between Ghana and th...

The Demographic Characteristics of Immigrant Populations
This publication presents a series of studies conducted by the European Population Committee between 1998 and 2001 together with specialised research institutes in eight European countries: Belgium, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway, Portugal and Estonia. These focus on groups that are well established in several countries to enable comparison. The studies describe the origin of migrants, inflows and outflows of immigrant populations, fertility, family formation, intermarriage, mortality and the spatial distribution in the countries of settlement. They also include a co-ordinated modelling exercise to estimate the demographic impact of immigration on receiving populations since the Second World War.

Long Journeys. African Migrants on the Road
Trapped inside lorries or huddled aboard unseaworthy boats, irregular African migrants make for troubling headlines in western media, fueling fever pitch fears of an impending "African exodus" to Europe. Despite the increasing, albeit sensational, attention irregular migration attracts on both sides of the Mediterranean, little is known about what shapes and influences the lives of these Africans before, during, and after their “migratory projects.” By privileging migrants' narratives and drawing on evidence-based field research from different disciplinary backgrounds, the volume demystifies and dislodges many common assumptions about the human ecology of irregular African migration to Europe, arguably one of the most widely debated, yet least understood, phenomenon of our time.
