Turkish Migration 2016 - Selected Papers - Compiled by Deniz Eroglu, Jeffrey H. Cohen, Ibrahim Sirkeci offers a selection of papers presented at the Migration Conference 2016 held in Vienna, Austria. The pieces collected here are just a sample of the work that was presented at the 2016 Turkish Migration conference.

The Digital Empowerment-Control Nexus
This book analyses the diverse and complex interactions between the emancipatory practices of precarious (i.e. forced, vulnerable, undocumented or deported) migrants enabled by information and communication technologies, and the constraints imposed by technological tools used for surveillance and migration control.
Urethral Reconstructive Surgery
Urethral injury may be of secondary importance when the patient comes into the emergency room, but devastating urological complications, such as sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and stricture, may drastically impair quality of life in the long term. This book provides a comprehensive review of adult urethral reconstructive surgery. It evaluates complex urethral problems and includes practical aspects of wound healing and applicable plastic surgical techniques.
When Humans Become Migrants
The issue of migration presents clear challenges to international human rights courts due to its political sensitivity. This book contrasts the European and Inter-American Courts of Human Rights, showing how their rulings differ on this issue. It argues that the Inter-American Court's approach is more sympathetic to the individuals involved.
Gender and Migration
The impact of gender on migration processes Considering the dynamic and reciprocal relationship between gender relations and migration, the contributions in this book approach migration dynamics from a gender-sensitive perspective. Bringing together insights from various fields of study, it is demonstrated how processes of social change occur differently in distinct life domains, over time, and across countries and/or regions, influencing the relationship between gender and migration. Detailed analysis by regions, countries, and types of migration reveals a strong variation regarding levels and features of female and male migration. This approach enables us to grasp the distinct ways in which gender roles, perceptions, and relations, each embedded in a particular cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic context, affect migration dynamics. Hence, this volume demonstrates that gender matters at each stage of the migration process. In its entirety, Gender and Migrationgives evidence of the unequivocal impact of gender and gendered structures, both at a micro and macro level, upon migrant’s lives and of migration on gender dynamics.
The Travels and Adventures of Serendipity
From the names of cruise lines and bookstores to an Australian ranch and a nudist camp outside of Atlanta, the word serendipity--that happy blend of wisdom and luck by which something is discovered not quite by accident--is today ubiquitous. This book traces the word's eventful history from its 1754 coinage into the twentieth century--chronicling along the way much of what we now call the natural and social sciences. The book charts where the term went, with whom it resided, and how it fared. We cross oceans and academic specialties and meet those people, both famous and now obscure, who have used and abused serendipity. We encounter a linguistic sage, walk down the illustrious halls of the ...
Blood and Thunder
In 1914, the First World War broke out, and from the very beginning schoolboys across Britain signed up for to fight. Later many more were conscripted into the army. Among them were old boys from Britain's most famous public school, Eton. Thousands of them flocked to the front, with many of them stepping out of the classroom, into the army and onto the battlefields before they had left their teenage years behind. Over 1,200 of them would not return. Historian Alexandra Churchill's groundbreaking narrative recounts the history of the Great War from the viewpoint of an extraordinary band of brothers, from the banks of the Thames as they worked and played in privilege to the ghastly realities of war in the fields of France, Belgium and beyond.

Reframing the Musical
"Challenging established narratives and calling for a radical and inclusive approach, this edited collection offers a timely overview of musical theatre history in relation to race, culture and identity. Reframing the Musical: provides fresh and diverse insights into a range of both historical and contemporary musicals, including Hair, Hamilton and The Lion King; brings together contributions from Cultural, American and Theatre Studies to unravel the musical for the first time; questions ideas about who musicals are for, by and about, in order to retell the story of musical theatre and recognise the neglected cultural perspectives that have shaped our understanding of the form. Engaging and important, this is required reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Musical Theatre. Its intersectional approach and interdisciplinary scope also make Reframing the Musical an invaluable resource for practitioners seeking to understand the political underpinnings of the musical." --
