An Ethnography of the Lives of Japanese and Japanese Brazilian Migrants
In this book, Ethel Kosminsky studies the Japanese emigration to the planned colony of Bastos in São Paulo, Brazil in the early twentieth century. She explores the stories of Japanese immigrants who replaced the labor of recently-freed slaves on coffee plantations, and their descendants’ return migration to Japan when the Bastos economy began to suffer in the late twentieth century. Using interviews and fieldwork done in both Bastos and Japan, Kosminsky integrates sociological, historical, political, economic, and ethnographic knowledge to analyze the consequences of these temporary labor migrations on the immigrants and their families.
História da imigração no Brasil vol. 2: a migração contemporânea
As migrações, essenciais à compreensão da sociedade brasileira desde o início da sua história, continuam a contribuir para nossos processos de formação, interagindo com a realidade social. O tema migratório interpela a fundo nossas dificuldades e contradições, indagando ainda sobre as possibilidades de abertura e interação com o mundo global. Este livro discute, a partir de diversos enfoques disciplinares, alguns caminhos das migrações mais recentes, nas suas relações com a imigração do passado e com outros processos ainda em aberto.
The girl who hugs the wind
The girl who hugs the wind tells the story of Mersene, a little girl who had to be separated from part of her family to escape the sad conflict experienced in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As she adapts to her new life in Brazil, she creates a game to overcome nostalgia. Mersene's story was inspired by the real stories of several Congolese refugee girls in the city of Rio de Janeiro. It was while in contact with refugee families that the author Fernanda Paraguassu observed the touching ability of these children to overcome pain and longing.

African Perspectives on South–South Migration
This book investigates the diverse and dynamic forms of migration within Africa. Centring themes of agency, resource flows, and transnational networks, the book examines the enduring appeal of the Global South as a place of origin, transit, and destination. Popular media, government pronouncements, and much of the global research discourse continue to be oriented towards migration from the Global South to the Global North, despite the fact that the vast majority of migration is South-South. This book moves beyond these mischaracterisations and instead distinctly focuses on the agency of African migrants and the creative strategies they employ while planning their routes within and across the...
Comparing Conviviality
In a world where difference is often seen as a threat or challenge, Comparing Conviviality explores how people actually live in diverse societies. Based on a long-term ethnography of West Africans in both Senegal and Spain, this book proposes that conviviality is a commitment to difference, across ethnicities, languages, religions, and practices. Heil brings together longstanding histories, political projects, and everyday practices of living with difference. With a focus on neighbourhood life in Casamance, Senegal, and Catalonia, Spain - two equally complex regions - Comparing Conviviality depicts how Senegalese people skillfully negotiate and translate the intricacies of difference and power. In these lived African and European worlds, conviviality is ever temporary and changing. This book offers a textured, realist, yet hopeful understanding of difference, social change, power, and respect. It will be invaluable to students and scholars of African, migration, and diversity studies across anthropology, sociology, geography, political sciences, and law.
Brazilian Subjectivity Today
The emerging field of psychosocial studies signifies a confluence of disciplines for whom the fantasies, repressions and cultural practices underlying national identity represents a crucial research focus. This book presents a psychosocial portrayal of Brazil’s arrival on the international stage in the economic boom of the run-up to its hosting of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games. This former Portuguese colony is a country of contradictions in need of a new image; a nation that needs to be able to both love and sell itself in today’s neo-liberal reality. It argues that a contemporary representation of Brazilian subjectivity is best enabled through an interdisciplinary perspective. Five key themes – to be explored in all their contradictions and ambivalence – structure the book: fantasies of the nation; xenophobia and denial; Brazilian cultural practice; transnational mobility; and gender, race and Brazilian identity.
