Migraciones. Una mirada interdisciplinaria
Este libro reúne una serie de trabajos monográficos expuestos y comentados en la XVIII Jornada de Estudios Migratorios de Chile, efectuada el pasado 6 y 7 de octubre de 2011. La amalgama de autores y especialistas que tuvieron cita en este evento discutieron y compartieron diversos puntos de vista de lo que sería el estado actual en el país de los estudios sobre migraciones nacionales y extranjeras.
Pasos al sur: Migraciones transnacionales en territorios socioculturales de Chile
En este libro, se hace referencia a la articulación socioespacial y experiencia territorial de los inmigrantes en Chile, sobre todo en las transformaciones del territorio, los nuevos componentes culturales que generan las migraciones en el país, la formación de espacios transnacionales y las percepciones estereotipadas y estigmatizantes que son desafíos de análisis y que, sin duda, toman relevancia en esta aproximación.
Inmigración internacional en Chile
A través de once artículos de historiadores, sociologos y antropologos, se analizan diversos temas relacionados con los movimientos migratorios en Chile desde el siglo XIX hasta la actualidad. Se trata de enfoques generales como también de aspectos particulares de algunas colectividades, pero que apuntan a situaciones propias de todos los movimientos migratorios. El recorrido, a través del tiempo, revela que los problemas no son nuevos y ayudan a comprender la necesidad de contar con políticas públicas oportunas, y adecuadas a las circunstancias, en un contexto mundial de creciente globalización e internacionalización
International Perspectives on Leading Low-Performing Schools
Research is clear: School leadership quality matters. However, our knowledge of effective school leadership remains limited in at least three substantial ways. First, our understanding of school leadership effectiveness generally and school principal effectiveness specifically is limited to Western contexts, primarily North America and western European ones. Second, even in the confines of Western research and context, there has been relatively little specific focus on effectively leading low-performing schools. Third, even the conceptualization of leadership—do we mean the school principal, an administrative team, or a broader school leadership team—is a key factor in how we define and ...
Globalization from Below
This book deals ethnographically with economic globalization from below in its broadest sense, from producers to traders to vendors to consumers across the globe.
Medicinal Fatty Acids in Inflammation
This volume of Progress in Inflammation Research is a unique compilation of work performed by a wide spectrum of investigators from different medical disciplines. It is fascinating that dietary alterations of fatty acid intake can result in a range of salutory changes in a great variety of medical conditions. Most of the good scien tific work which has led to these observations has been performed over just the last two decades. This is of course not a very long time in the context of the history of the human species. Recently performed analysis of fat intake from paleolithic times has indicated that our hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed as much cholesterol as modern Western man, but strikin...
International Migration in the Age of Crisis and Globalization
The international mobility of people and elites is a main feature of the global economy of today. Immigration augments the labor force in receiving countries and provides many of the bodies and minds that are essential to any vibrant economy. This book is based on a blend of theory, varied country examples, and rich historical material ranging from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. It discusses the conceptual underpinnings of the push and pull factors of current migration waves and their impacts for development on the source and receiving countries. The analysis reviews the historical context under which various migration experiences have taken place - both in periods of internationalism and nationalism - in order to contribute to debates on the desirability of and tensions and costs involved in the current process of international migration.
The Making of a Transnational Community
This book is a thorough piece of work, based upon solid field research. It is a detailed analysis of the effects of political and economic change on Los Pinos, a rural community in the Dominican Republic. It examines the causes and consequences of international labor migration and the responses of the population of Los Pinos and its surrounding communities to the new opportunities and conditions of migration.
