New Migration Patterns in the Americas
This volume investigates new migration patterns in the Americas addressing continuities and changes in existing population movements in the region. The book explores migration conditions and intersections across time and space relying on a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach that brings together the expertise of transnational scholars with diverse theoretical orientations, strengths, and methodological approaches. Some of the themes this edited volume explores include main features of contemporary migration in the Americas; causes, composition, and patterns of new migration flows; and state policies enacted to meet the challenges posed by new developments in migration flows.
Migrascapes: paisajes étnicos, mediáticos y de ideas
La imaginación no es equivalente a lo ilusorio, es una parte constituyente de lo social. De hecho, todos vivimos en comunidades imaginadas, y habitamos un mundo que va más allá de nuestra experiencia o conocimiento empírico. En la actualidad, la imaginación social de la realidad, como campo productivo, está marcada por la relación entre las cotidianeidades localizadas y los diversos flujos globales: financieros, ideológicos, étnicos, mediáticos y tecnológicos. Las articulaciones cambiantes e incompletas entre estos flujos han sido llamadas paisajes (scapes), una metáfora para recordarnos su dimensión percibida y construida, dinámica e interdependiente. Migrascapes, los paisajes migratorios, es una investigación colectiva que nació de nuestra preocupación por las transformaciones de distintos flujos globales durante y a partir de la pandemia de COVID-19. El presente libro recopila distintos ensayos que llaman la atención sobre algunas de las más acuciantes transformaciones en el ámbito de la imaginación política, ideológica, mediática, de representación y de gobierno.

Laboring in the Shadow of Empire
Laboring in the Shadow of Empire: Race, Gender, and Care Work in Portugal examines the everyday lives of an African-descendant care service workforce that labors in an ostensibly “anti-racial” Europe and against the backdrop of the Portuguese colonial empire. While much of the literature on global care work has focused on Asian and Latine migrant care workers, there is comparatively less research that explicitly examines African care workers and their migration histories to Europe. Sociologist Celeste Vaughan Curington focuses on Portugal—a European setting with comparatively liberal policies around family settlement and naturalization for migrants. In this setting, rapid urbanization ...
Migration Governance across Regions
Migration policies are rarely effective. Examples of unintended and undesirable outcomes abound. In Latin America, very little is known about the impact and long-term sustainability of state policies towards emigrants. Following a world-wide trend, Ecuador, Uruguay, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil have developed new institutions and discourses to strengthen links; assist, protect and enfranchise migrants, and capture their resources. As an adaptation of governmental techniques to global realities, these policies redefine the contours of polities, nations, and citizenship, giving place to a new form of transnational governance. Building upon field research done in these five states and two rece...
The Fruits of Listening
Theological seminaries and Bible institutes find themselves at the crossroads of preserving biblical faithfulness and of maintaining contextual relevance. What does faithful contextual relevance look like? How can theological institutions steer a course that will engage and serve the church through the men and women they equip for ministry and service? In pursuit of answers to those questions, a qualitative research project was designed and conducted in the Protestant evangelical community in Madrid, Spain. It presented a unique situation where seminary faculty and students and church attenders could be invited to share their perspectives, experiences, and hopes for transformative theologica...

The Politics of Landscapes in Singapore
This thought-provoking book explores strategies employed by Singapore, a multiracial society, to create a Singapore "nation" with an emphasis on the role of landscape. As such, the authors cast keen eye on religious buildings, public housing, heritage landscapes, and street name changes as tangible methods of nation-building in a postcolonial society. The authors illustrate how "nation" and "national identity" are concepts that are negotiated and disputed by varied social, economic, and political groups—some of which may actively resist powerfuI state-centrist attitudes. Throughout this work, the role of the landscape prevails both as a way to naturalize state ideologies and as a means of providing possibilities for reinterpretation in everyday life.
