Literary Voices of the Italian Diaspora in Britain
This volume studies the literary voices of the Italian diaspora in Britain, including 21 authors and 34 pieces of prose, verse, and drama. This book shows how authors both recount the history of the migrant community in the period 1880-1980 while creatively experimenting with hybrid forms of expression and blending words with visuals. Literary Voices of the Italian Diaspora in Britain discusses topical issues like migration and social integration, cultures and foods in transition, as well as plurilingualism. The book pays special attention to discussions of the horrors of the Second World War – especially on the tragedy of the Arandora Star (2nd July 1940) – to show this literary community’s political commitments. More importantly, it will begin to fill the void left by a critical tradition which has only appreciated the northern American and Australian branches of Italian writing.
Liberal Arts Perspectives on Globalism and Transnationalism
As international trade and economic activities expand, online technologies spread, and restless populations shift across international boundaries, reactionary movements have sprung up around the globe. These reactionary forces, which include nationalism and populism, have exposed many blind-spots of ongoing globalization projects. To understand the frictions between transnational enterprises and local resistance more fully, as well as analyze the human cost of immigration and the threats posed by online technologies, scholars from around the world gathered in Doha, Qatar, for the Sixth Annual Liberal Arts International Conference (2018). This volume, based on selected papers from this meeting, discusses the roles and effects of transnational and cross-cultural education, technology, migrant workers and refugees, and research methodologies in order to understand current challenges surrounding globalization.
The Making of Little Saigon
A collective memoir of community reimagining, The Making of Little Saigon orchestrates the voices of activists, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, and scholars who have inhabited and nurtured Little Saigon, Orange County, California, into a beloved sanctuary—a sumptuous enclave of Vietnamese refugees and immigrants in the US. This constellation of narratives chronicles collective memories of settlement, nostalgia, (dis)enchantments, and aspirations as the community has evolved over time. From oceanic crossings to forging a new home, every story interweaves and reverberates with a history of pain and beauty, disunity and solidarity, failure, and resilience as the community careens forward into an uncertain future.

Reclaiming Migrant Motherhood
The global landscape is dotted with border crossings that can be particularly perilous for displaced women with children in tow. These mothers are often described by their various legal statuses like refugee, migrant, immigrant, forced, or voluntary, but their lived experiences are more complex than a single label. Reclaiming Migrant Motherhood looks at literature, film, and original ethnographic research about the lived experiences of displaced mothers. This volume considers the context of the global refugee crisis, forced migration, and resettlement as backdrops for the representations and identity development of displaced women who mother. Situated within motherhood studies, this book is ...
Towns in Transition
The studies in this volume are based on new archaeological data and provide a full and convincing reassessment of the old image of urban decay and the impact of incoming 'Barbarians' and Arabs on towns. The broad geographical range of towns studied, and the informed and authoritative interpretations offered in this volume, will be invaluable to scholars seeking to understand this complex, intriguing and misunderstood period of history.
Menuju Gereja Mandiri
Untuk menjelaskan kesatuan Gereja, Mgr. A. Soegijapranata mengatakan bahwa Gereja itu bersifat supranasional. Namun demikian, ia juga menyatakan bahwa hirarki lokal harus bisa otonom. Karenanya, di dalam proses untuk membangun hirarki lokal, Mgr. Soegijapranata, selain mengajak kaum muda untuk masuk ke dalam hidup religius atau imamat, juga mendorong semua orang untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan mereka akan ilmu-ilmu humaniora, budaya, dan agama. la menyerukan supaya mereka memberi kesaksian akan iman kristiani di dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, dan di dalam segala jenis pekerjaan, dan dalam situasi yang mereka hadapi. Justinus Kardinal Darmojuwono membedakan antara kerasulan sabda dan kerasulan karya. la mengatakan bahwa terlalu menekankan kerasulan sabda di Asia merupakan tindakan yang berbahaya. Tanpa kerasulan karya, kerasulan sabda akan menjadi sekadar pemanis bibir, sejenis farisiisme. Untuk menjadikan kesadaran ini efektif bagi umat, di dalam pertemuan Para Uskup Asia pada tahun 1970, Justinus Kardinal Darmojuwono mengusulkan pembentukan suatu Sekretariat Gereja Asia Tenggara untuk urusan pengembangan Sosial-Ekonomi dan beberapa institusi lain.
