The Italian Diaspora in South Africa
This book investigates the experiences of second- and third-generation Italians living in South Africa, exploring how nostalgia for Italy influences their sense of identity and belonging. The Italian community in South Africa is a unique diaspora, with a complex history, including roots in Italian colonial activities in Africa, and in World War II. This book looks at how the descendants of these early migrants take pride in being Italian and value the Italian language. They also ascribe much importance to their family roots, and have often created a romanticized image of Italy, mostly based on childhood vacation visits. The longing for an imaginary idealized version of Italy is closely linke...
Forced Migration across Mexico
This book analyzes the different ways in which forced migration comes together with organized violence in the Americas, focusing specifically on the migration corridor from Central America, through Mexico and on to the United States. No matter their starting point, most South and Central American migrants to the United States must eventually traverse Mexico, and often many other borders beforehand, to reach their destination. As border controls tighten, for many migrants turning back is not a possibility, or something they desire. And so, when faced with hardening policies, migrants are often forced into situations of increased violence and precarity, without a shift in their ultimate object...
Unveiling Migration and Education in Marina Budhos's Fiction
This book delves into the profound challenges and triumphs of immigrant children navigating the educational landscape in America, which have been skilfully depicted in Marina Budhos's novels. In this thought-provoking work, the transformative power of intersectionality is artfully unravelled, offering penetrating insights into the lived experiences of these resilient young individuals. Central to this scholarly odyssey is the illumination of intersectionality as a conceptual framework, meticulously elucidating the intricate entanglement of multifarious oppressive dimensions faced by immigrant communities. By disentangling the interplay of race, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status, this work unveils the hitherto obscured realities underlying the migration experience. Engaging with the complexities of immigrant children's lives, it not only illuminates the academic discourse surrounding this issue, but also nurtures a profound sense of empathy, advocating a more enlightened and compassionate society that cherishes the diverse potential of all its young inhabitants.
Forced Migration in Turkey
Turkey hosts more refugees than any other country in the world, with forced migrants from Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and other countries converging, either with hopes to settle in Turkey or to continue onwards to the European Union (EU). This volume addresses the specific experiences and trajectories of forced migrants in Turkey in the context of local and national contexts and the future of EU-Turkey relations. It presents the demographics of forced migrants, the biographies and future plans of refugees, and their interactions with civil society, states, and international agencies. A focus is on organized violence and corresponding experiences in countries of origin, during transit, and at current places. Based on extensive quantitative and qualitative research, this book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of migration, human security, and refugee studies, as well as of sociology, political sciences, and international relations.

The book develops a multidisciplinary perspective and combines insights from economic, development, and financial geography as well as international political economy and economic anthropology. It sets out a geographies of remittance marketisation approach to inv...
The Changing Face of Home
The children of immigrants account for the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population under eighteen years old—one out of every five children in the United States. Will this generation of immigrant children follow the path of earlier waves of immigrants and gradually assimilate into mainstream American life, or does the global nature of the contemporary world mean that the trajectory of today's immigrants will be fundamentally different? Rather than severing their ties to their home countries, many immigrants today sustain economic, political, and religious ties to their homelands, even as they work, vote, and pray in the countries that receive them. The Changing Face of Home is the fi...
