Una mirada desde Mesoamérica.
Las migraciones a través del corredor Centroamérica-México-Estados Unidos tienen una larga historia: sin embargo, en años recientes han adquirido nuevos patrones y características que requieren de un diálogo regional para su comprensión. En el escenario actual, destacan: los momentos de alta migración asociados a violencias y la persistencia de condiciones precarias de vida en los lugares de origen, la activación de “in/movilidades” en el tránsito o en el asentamiento en territorio mexicano, una mayor diversidad de países de origen y de perfiles sociodemográficos de las personas en movimiento, junto a la puesta en marcha de planes, programas y acciones coyunturales para el co...
Learning from Megadisasters
While not all natural disasters can be avoided, their impact on a population can be mitigated through effective planning and preparedness. These are the lessons to be learned from Japan's own megadisaster: the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, the fi rst disaster ever recorded that included an earthquake, a tsunami, a nuclear power plant accident, a power supply failure, and a large-scale disruption of supply chains. It is a sad fact that poor communities are often hardest hit and take the longest to recover from disaster. Disaster risk management (DRM) should therefore be taken into account as a major development challenge, and countries must shift from a tradition of response to a cultu...
From Ellis Island to JFK
In the history, the very personality, of New York City, few events loom larger than the wave of immigration at the turn of the last century. Today a similar influx of new immigrants is transforming the city again. Better than one in three New Yorkers is now an immigrant. From Ellis Island to JFK is the first in-depth study that compares these two huge social changes. A key contribution of this book is Nancy Foner’s reassessment of the myths that have grown up around the earlier Jewish and Italian immigration—and that deeply color how today’s Asian, Latin American, and Caribbean arrivals are seen. Topic by topic, she reveals the often surprising realities of both immigrations. For examp...

Transnationale Migration am Beispiel Deutschland und Türkei
Anlässlich des 50. Jahrestages des deutsch-türkischen Anwerbeabkommens erfuhr die deutsch-türkische Migration im Jahr 2011 auf gesellschaftlicher, politischer und wissenschaftlicher Ebene besonders große Aufmerksamkeit. Im Zuge der Diskussion wurde in der Regel aber übersehen, dass die deutsch-türkische Migrationsgeschichte einerseits weit über 50 Jahre hinausgeht und dass sich die Dynamik der deutsch-türkischen Migration andererseits in den letzten 50 Jahren enorm verändert hat. Grenzüberschreitende Migration bedeutet auch im deutsch-türkischen Kontext zunehmend transnationale Migration, d. h. verstärkte dauerhafte Mobilität sowie enge Verbindung zu Residenz- und Herkunftsgesellschaften. Durch diese Form der Migration sind viele neue Lebensmuster entstanden, die alle Beteiligten und deren Alltag maßgeblich beeinflussen.
Die soziale Welt quer denken
Polnische Wanderarbeiter in Frankreich, tschechische Dienstmädchen in Österreich, Mexikaner in den USA - ihre Lebens- und Arbeitswelt, ihre sozialen Kontakte und Netzwerke überschreiten nationale Grenzen. Sie leben transnational. Um dieser Situation gerecht zu werden, muss auch die Soziale Arbeit zunehmend "quer" gedacht und organisiert werden. Unsere Lebens-, Arbeits- und Organisationsformen überschreiten zunehmend kommunale, regionale und insbesondere nationale Grenzen. Soziale Problemlagen sind daher nicht nur lokal, sondern auch in einem übergreifenden und verflochtenen, das heisst transnationalen Kontext zu verstehen und anzugehen. Dies erfordert eine Erweiterung der bislang national geprägten Perspektive auf soziale Phänomene. In diesem Band richtet sich der Blick auf soziale Räume, Praktiken, Lebenswelten und Bio-grafien, die quer beziehungsweise zwischen "normalen" Einheiten angesiedelt sind. Die Aufforderung, die soziale Welt quer zu denken, hebt die Bedeutsamkeit dieser Zwischen-ebene hervor, um zentrale transnationale Entwicklungen zu erfassen und sie für die Soziale Arbeit zu diskutieren.

Chinese in Eastern Europe and Russia
Since the late nineteenth century, hundreds of thousands of Chinese have moved to Russia and Eastern Europe. However, until now, very little research has been done about the initial migrants in the nineteenth century, the presence of the Chinese in Europe and Russia in the twentieth century before the collapse of the 'socialist' regimes or about the great wave of Chinese migration to Eastern Europe and Russia which occurred after 1989. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the Chinese in Russia and Eastern Europe from the nineteenth century to the present day. Particularly important is the movement of entrepreneurs in the early 1990s, who took advantage of unmet demand, inadequate r...
Handbook of Research on Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship
Professor Dana and his colleagues have carefully and successfully put together a collection of chapters on ethnic minority entrepreneurship from all parts of the world. The book comprises eight parts and 49 chapters. Undoubtedly, given the massive size and content of a 835-page book, it is fair to ask, is it value for money? The answer is unequivocally yes! A further comment on the content of the book should probably reassure potential readers and buyers of the book. . . This collection is undoubtedly rich, creative and varied in many respects. Therefore, it will be of great benefit to researchers and scholars alike. . . I will strongly recommend this book to researchers, students, teachers ...
