International Migration and National Development in Sub-Saharan Africa
This book focuses on achieving a better understanding of the implications of international migration for national development from the perspective of the sending countries (with an emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa). More specifically, the purpose of this volume is to explore (1) current perceptions - as seen from the perspective of the countries of origin - of the links between international migration and national development, and (2) current trends in policy making aimed at minimising the negative effects, while optimising the development impact. What are the dominant views and policy initiatives in the different countries of sub-Saharan Africa? It is concerned with the question of how a coherent international migration policy can contribute to the fight against poverty. In the book, update information is given of migration-development nexus in various countries, including Senegal and Burkina Faso, Botswana and Mozambique, Nigeria and Kenya . Attention is additionally paid to Mexico, the Philippines and the People's Republic of China.
The Middle Classes in Latin America
As a collective effort, this volume locates the formation of the middle classes at the core of the histories of Latin America in the last two centuries. Featuring scholars from different places across the Americas, it is an interdisciplinary contribution to the world histories of the middle classes, histories of Latin America, and intersectional studies. It also engages a larger audience about the importance of the middle classes to understand modernity, democracy, neoliberalism, and decoloniality. By including research produced from a variety of Latin American, North American, and other audiences, the volume incorporates trends in social history, cultural studies and discursive theory. It situates analytical categories of race and gender at the core of class formation. This volume seeks to initiate a critical and global conversation concerning the ways in which the analysis of the middle classes provides crucial re-readings of how Latin America, as a region, has historically been understood.
Becoming Heritage
Reveals how inclusive heritage policies simultaneously created exclusion and conflict within the Palenquero community in Colombia.
Beyond Mobility
"Beyond Mobility" also seeks to rethink how projects are planned and designed in cities and suburbs at multiple geographic scales, from micro-designs such as parklets to corridors and city-regions. The book closes with a reflection on the opportunities and challenges in moving beyond mobility, with attention to emerging technologies such as self-driving cars and ride-hailing services and social equity topics such as accessibility, livability, and affordability.
Migration in the Service of African Development
Fifteen chapters are included here in this compendium in honour of the Nigerian migration scholar Professor Aderanti Adepoju. Though the authors come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds: geography, demography, sociology and law they all work within the fields of internal and international migration in Africa. Chapters on Uganda, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria and Mali are devoted to aspects of internal migration, while those on African emigration to Mexico and migration between Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire address various aspects of international migration. Migration issues in relation to women, students and climate change are also discussed.
Migraciones y seguridad: un reto para el siglo XXI
El objetivo de esta obra es entender cómo el ingreso y la permanencia de los inmigrantes se han vuelto un asunto de seguridad nacional en diferentes contextos culturales y geográficos. De este modo, se ofrecen herramientas a quienes se propongan formular políticas públicas que no deshumanicen al migrante ni promuevan medidas represivas y violentas en su contra.
Migraciones y políticas migratorias
En este libro se propone aprehender el fenómeno migratorio y sus trasformaciones en el actual sistema internacional, y afianzar la complejidad de las migraciones, teniendo en cuenta las complejidades del proceso de movilidad humana desde una perspectiva teórica, empírica y comparada. Esta postura permite a las autoras y los autores de los capítulos del libro abordar distintos temas relacionados con los flujos migratorios y la integración social, económica, política y cultural; las migraciones y las políticas migratorias; el derecho migratorio y el acceso a derechos, y la situación de los niños, niñas y adolescentes migrantes y refugiados. Así mismo, el contenido del libro se posiciona como una excelente herramienta de conocimiento de distintas dimensiones del fenómeno migratorio para el gran público, la academia, las maestras y maestros, las investigadoras e investigadores con interés en la problemática de las migraciones internas e internacionales.
