In I'll Samba Someplace Else, Andrew G. Britt maps the interwoven histories of three of the city of Sao Paulo's most iconic ethnoracialized neighborhoods, popularly known as "African" Brasilandia, "Japanese" Liberdade, and "Italian" Bexiga. Following these spaces over the mid-twentieth century through inventive methods of spatial history, archival research, and sustained engagement with African descendent cultural organizations, Britt shows that these ethnoracialized neighborhoods did not accrue naturally over time. Instead, they were planned, produced, and contested by an array of individuals, from powerful urbanist-politicians and neighborhood businessowners to celebrated samba composers and historic preservationists. The ethnoracialization of these neighborhoods, Britt argues, served paradoxical ends: they reproduced consequential racialized inequities while, simultaneously, bolstering discourses of multicultural harmony. By untangling the paradoxes of ethnoracial space in Brazil's most populous, diverse, and unequal city, I'll Samba Someplace Else elucidates how popular ideologies of multiculturalism endure despite persistently high levels of racialized inequity and anti-Black violence in Brazil and beyond.

This monograph delves into the general dynamics, causes, and impact of Venezuelan migration in the Caribbean, with particular emphasis on Trinidad and Tobago, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon.Migration has been a defining feature of the Caribbean region's history, with its complex interplay of colonial legacies, economic opportunities, and socio-political factors shaping patterns of movement within and beyond the region. The Caribbean has been a hub of migration, marked by both internal and external movements, driven by various factors such as economic disparities, political instability, and the search for better opportunities. However, migration also poses challenges such as brain drain and strains on resources in both sending and receiving countries. As the Caribbean continues to evolve in a globalized world, understanding and addressing the complex causes and impacts of migration remains a critical task for countries, policymakers, academics, and communities alike. This exploration allows for greater insights and understanding of the responses and possible recommendations for tacking and addressing the Venezuelan migrant crisis.

Serra Mingot, Ester, African Migrant Journeys Through Mexico: A Longitudinal Ethnography of Multiple Displacements. (SpringerBriefs in Anthropology) 107 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-940>
ISBN 978-3-032-12125-7 paper ¥13,251.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This book presents an intimate portrayal of African migration through Mexico, based on a four-year longitudinal ethnography (2021-2025) conducted in Tijuana, Tapachula, and Mexico City. Through the lives of five African migrants, it explores the complex and ever-changing migration systems that shape their journeys, decisions, and ultimate destinations-be it the United States, Canada, a return to their home countries, or settling in Mexico. Each chapter delves into a migrant's life story, offering a nuanced examination of forced migration infrastructures, smuggling networks, and the unique vulnerabilities faced by women in the asylum system. It also highlights how gender roles, expectations, and intersectional inequalities influence mobility, protection, and belonging across borders. The narratives reveal a complex web of interactions with corrupt migration authorities, compassionate smugglers, activists, and researchers, all navigating the intricacies of migration regimes. This ethnographic approach provides readers with authentic, bittersweet accounts of contemporary migration trajectories across the Americas. It challenges preconceived notions, revealing that smugglers are not uniformly malevolent, researchers often extend beyond their academic roles, and migrants' decisions are frequently driven by factors beyond rational calculation. By illuminating these multifaceted realities, the book offers a profound understanding of the human experiences underlying current migration patterns in the region. It also provides the views and strategies of different actors, not only the migrants, but also other people sharing part of the migrants' stories and making their journeys possible (e.g. researchers, smugglers and activists). Even though it originates from academic research, the tone and contents are intended to be accessible to anyone interested in the topic.

The Borders of America examines the tension between human migration and the diverse formations of border control and immigration and asylum policy that have arisen across the Americas since the start of the twenty-first century. The collection develops a single analytical framework that is hemispheric in scope, encompassing the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and the full extent of Latin America. The contributors offer the concept of a "border regime" as an epistemological and methodological approach that comprehends borders not merely as physical demarcations between state territories and jurisdictions but rather as expansive, uneven, and heterogeneous spaces of constant encounter, exchange, dispute, tension, conflict, and contestation. Presenting detailed empirical research into contemporary intra-regional and transcontinental mobilities across the hemisphere, The Borders of America scrutinizes an array of critical nodes in the larger configuration of the trans-American border regime.

移民と欧州の都市－多次元的視点
Dines, Nick, Migration and European Cities: A Multidimensional Perspective. (IMISCOE Research Series) 175 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <764-998>
ISBN 978-3-032-15378-4 hard ¥10,600.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This open access book offers a unique and timely investigation of the multifaceted relationship between migration and European cities. Its chapters critically examine the historical, economic, socio-spatial, cultural and policy-political dimensions of the migration-city nexus, bringing together different thematic and disciplinary perspectives that are usually considered separately. The book engages with the growing theoretical and empirical interest in the urban scale within migration studies, while also drawing on the rich and longstanding body of research on migration and cities across other disciplines. It draws attention to the significant variations both between and within European cities, taking stock not only of the extensive scholarship on north-western Europe - the theoretical heartland of European migration and urban studies - but also of the important contributions made by scholars working in the southern and eastern peripheries of the continent. In doing so, the book develops a nuanced understanding of the interconnections between migration and cities, while offering readers a guide to navigating the diverse literature that addresses these themes. Written in an accessible style, it is a valuable resource for students, researchers, academics, policymakers, practitioners, and readers who are new to this key area of migration studies.

Torrance, Isabelle (ed.), Irish Migrations and Classical Antiquity. (Classical Diaspora) 400 pp. 2026:2 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) * paper 2027:7

Why should classical antiquity matter to Irish migration? Irish Migrations and Classical Antiquity argues that ancient Greece and Rome have shaped Irish migration narratives from the earliest texts to the 21st century. These classical models emerge in response to four key drivers of migration: war, economic need, religious motivation and the pursuit of education. Rather than passive inheritances, Graeco-Roman forms are used both to join and to challenge dominant frameworks, offering tools for cultural participation and strategies of resistance to exclusion.The book traces classical reception in contexts ranging from early Irish origin legends and medieval Latin learning to 21st-century cultural politics, including Irish-language translation, diaspora literature and gendered experiences. Participation appears in assertions of Irish civilisation, synchronistic histories, literary cosmopolitanism and transnational exchange. Resistance surfaces in critiques of marginalisation, defence of minority languages and challenges to aesthetic or political canons. This book rethinks how Irish identities travel across borders, languages and centuries by showing how the ancient world underwrites both movement and its meanings.

Nassehi, Armin, Anmerkungen zum Antisemitismus: Die Funktion der Judenfeindschaft und das westliche Selbstverhaltnis. (C. H. Beck Paperback 6630) 224 S. 2026:3 (Beck, GW) <764-724>
ISBN 978-3-406-84639-7 paper ¥4,771.- (税込) EUR 18.00

Armin Nassehi uber die Funktion des Antisemitismus in unserer Zeit Antisemitische Denkfiguren, Chiffren, Symbole und Taten erfahren derzeit eine erhebliche Sichtbarkeit - was nicht nur mit dem Terrorangriff der Hamas auf Israel im Jahre 2023 und den militarischen und politischen Folgen dieses Ereignisses zu tun hat. In seinem neuen Buch nimmt der Soziologe Armin Nassehi den verbindenden Kern antisemitischer Formen rechtsradikaler, burgerlicher, linker, postkolonialer und islamistischer Natur in den Blick. Es widmet sich der gleichzeitigen Persistenz und Plastizitat dieses Phanomens. Die nicht historisch, sondern explizit soziologisch gestellte Leitfrage lautet: Was ist die Funktion des Antisemitismus in westlichen Gesellschaften? Sie wird mit der These beantwortet, dass antisemitische Denkungsarten stets mit ungeklarten Selbstverhaltnissen derer zu tun haben, fur die der Antisemitismus exakt dieses Problem lost: Fragen der Selbstbeschreibung und ihres Selbstverhaltnisses zu losen. Nassehis Buch ist damit zugleich ein Beitrag zu der Frage, wie die Selbstbezogenheit des "Westens" seine paradoxen Selbstverhaltnisse auf etwas Fremdes richtet, das zugleich sein Vertrautestes selbst ist, das imaginierte Judische namlich.

Burkham, Jonathan, Migrant Midwest: The Case for Immigration and Economic Growth in the American Heartland. 184 pp. 2026:4 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <764-730>
ISBN 979-82-16-27609-8 hard ¥9,273.- (税込) GB￡ 30.00

The American heartland is poised for a demographic decline with very real consequences. Migrant Midwest tracks the history of population growth and its projected decline in the Midwest to highlight the need for increased international migration to the region. Burkham first illustrates how the forces of fertility and migration drove the development of the region's agricultural and industrial economies, and how the region has more recently struggled with deindustrialization, outmigration, and declining fertility, a global trend. The Midwest is now the slowest-growing region in the country and has the lowest share of immigrants, contributing to stagnation at the national level. Burkham goes on to evaluate the impact of demographic decline on the regional labor market and its fiscal implications for cities, states, and the nation. His thoughtful analysis highlights global trends in fertility decline and raises doubts about the prospect of significantly boosting fertility in modern society. This timely book proposes a bipartisan model of immigration reform designed to replenish the region's workforce and population, stabilizing communities and fueling a manufacturing renaissance. It takes seriously concerns that increases in immigration may be harmful to some Americans by presenting a nuanced view of how immigrants are integrated into local labor markets and society more generally. Ultimately, Burkham makes an argument for assimilation through residential integration. He concludes by suggesting that the coming "demographic winter" is a choice between managed decline and a more forward-looking vision of abundance that is consistent with the country's character as a nation of immigrants.

ドイツにおける難民の保護
Luft, Stefan, Systemversagen: Fluchtlingsschutz in Deutschland. 200 S. 2026:6 (Kohlhammer, GW) <764-746>
ISBN 978-3-17-046919-8 paper ¥5,832.- (税込) EUR 22.00

Asyl und Fluchtlingsschutz gehoren zu den am meisten genutzten Wanderungspfaden in die EU. Doch sie entziehen sich weitgehend staatlicher Steuerung. Zudem haben Gewaltenteilung, Foderalismus, Europaisierung sowie eine Vielzahl machtiger Akteure (wie Wirtschaftsverbande, Kirchen, Medien, Fluchtlingsinitiativen) zu einem so hohen Verflechtungsgrad gefuhrt, dass ein flachendeckendes Systemversagen in der Fluchtlingspolitik festgestellt werden muss. Die allermeisten Ausreisepflichtigen bleiben letztendlich in der EU. Die Unfahigkeit, Steuerung und Begrenzung der Zuwanderung zu erreichen, erweist sich als Radikalisierungsmaschine: Eine Regierung nach der nachsten wird von Migrationskritikern in die Defensive gedrangt und abgelost. Kann ein Systemwechsel gelingen? Konnen beispielsweise Verfahren in Drittstaaten die Lage entspannen?

Cusumano, Eugenio / Raineri, Luca et al. (eds.), Varieties of Securitization: Migration Governance along the Central Mediterranean Route. 316 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-802>
ISBN 978-3-032-15274-9 hard ¥42,412.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book contributes to migration and security studies alike by examining the transformation of migration governance across the Central Mediterranean Route connecting Sub-Saharan Africa to Europe through Italy. Leveraging this migratory corridor in historical and comparative perspective, the volume provides a multidisciplinary reappraisal of securitization theory, highlighting how different fields such as anthropology, history, visual semiotics, and science and technology studies can enrich, reappraise, and decentralize this paradigm. Far from merely exploring the different ways migration is framed as a threat after the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the volume systematically dissects the interplay between discourses and border enforcement practices as well as the diffusion of migration governance models worldwide, pushing securitization theory beyond security studies.

20世紀の日本とメキシコの人種間の断絶
Mendoza, Andrea, Transpacific Nonencounters: Racial Disconnects Across Twentieth-Century Japan and Mexico. 208 pp. 2026:4 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-830>

In Transpacific Nonencounters, Andrea Mendoza works across the seemingly unconnected histories of race and nation in modern Mexico and Japan, showing the commonalities in the way race figures in their state and social formations through a method Mendoza calls the theory of nonencounter. Intellectual and cultural productions of racial knowledge were important for the formation of the modernizing Mexican and Japanese states at the beginning of the twentieth century and helped conceive the project of national modernity through ideologies that promoted multiracial and multiethnic belonging-mestizaje and Pan-Asian co-prosperity. Despite the diasporic, economic, and political points of contact that connected these states throughout the twentieth century, however, traditional Eurocentric comparative and area-based studies treat the formations and legacies of Mexican mestizo nationalism and Japanese imperialism as wholly unrelated phenomena. Transpacific Nonencounters proposes a theory of nonencounter to formulate the logic of disciplinary disconnection, offering a framework and hermeneutic for a transpacific account of how Japanese imperialism and Mexican mestizo settler nationalism structured and reinforced one another through the modern formations of race and racism.

Karluk, Abduerresit Celil, Others in China: Governing, Assimilation with Chinese Characteristics. 284 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-844>
ISBN 978-981-9555-38-3 hard ¥34,459.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of governance and ethno-nationality policies in China, with a particular emphasis on the historical strategies employed by the Chinese state in managing its relations with non-Han nationalities and ethno-religious groups. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach to examine the state's cultural and political integration efforts, or, more precisely, its expansionist ambitions. This is achieved by analysing the manner in which the Chinese state, conceptualised as comprising two interrelated dimensions - cultural China and political China - extends its influence both within its official borders and in the territories under its control. In this context, the book presents a critical analysis of the state's assimilationist practices, which are designed to transform a diverse socio-cultural and ethno-national landscape into a cohesive and unified socio-cultural framework. These policies are characterised by a synthesis of traditional Chinese cultural ideologies with contemporary Marxist and nationalist doctrines, a strategy aptly described by the author as "assimilation with Chinese characteristics". The analytical framework allows for an examination of the implementation of governance and assimilation strategies towards non-Chinese minority groups, with the Uyghur case serving as a focal example to illustrate these dynamics.

Ding, Seong Lin / Leng Ng, Yean (eds.), Seeing beyond a 'Chinatown': Heritage and Identity in Chinese Spaces in Kuala Lumpur. 321 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-858>
ISBN 978-981-9555-80-2 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book moves beyond the stereotyped approaches adopted in earlier works on 'Chinatowns' and introduces instead the Chinese spaces in the metropolitan city of Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. Seeing beyond the 'Chinatown', this book puts forward the historical, political, linguistic, educational, economic, sociocultural, religious, and architectural perspectives of the Chinese spaces, in local and global contexts, thus offering critical insights into the complex intertwining of historical impact, heritage language vitality, ethnic politics, out-migration issue, socioeconomic development, urban heritage sustainability, and the potential conflict between the official and the 'vernacular' representation of various Chinese neighbourhoods. Seeing beyond the notion of stereotyping 'Chinatown', this book expounds on the one hand, the tensions between branding and rebranding, positioning and repositioning of heritage and identity in Chinese urban spaces. On the other hand, this work also raises broader questions of social integration, and the underlying challenges in maintaining urban space and urban heritage amidst state-facilitated dispossession, touristification, and gentrification, thus allowing for an exploration of the nuanced interplay between power dynamics and struggles for empowerment. This book contributes both to our understanding of Chinese spaces embedded in the (re)imagination of 'Chinatown' and more importantly, a critical understanding of urban sustainability and social inclusivity that goes beyond ethnic and racial boundaries. It is relevant to cultural theorists and social scientists with a particular interest in heritage studies in Malaysia, and in wider Asia.

Chakrabarti, Paromita, Migration Matters: South Asian Diaspora, Literary Culture and the Politics of (Be)longing. 208 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-873>
ISBN 978-981-9545-84-1 hard ¥31,808.- (税込) EUR 119.99

The book explores the politics of gendered belonging in the South Asian (SA) diaspora through the lens of migration. It focuses on the lives of contemporary postcolonial SA migrants, particularly women, through a critical analysis of select South Asian diaspora literature. It brings together authors who have not previously been discussed collectively, examining their works to uncover the nuanced interplay between homeland, hostland, and diaspora. Focusing on postcolonial South Asian women, it critically analyzes works by Sorayya Khan, Meena Alexander, Sara Suleri, Anita Desai, and Kiran Desai to explore the interplay of homeland, hostland, and diaspora. Unpacking the grammar of dislocation, displacement, border crossing, and relocation, Migration Matters uses a postcolonial theoretical lens to assess the impact of colonialism and modernity on the production of diasporic subjectivities and the construction of diasporic communities. Engaging with the concept of a diaspora space that both separates and merges boundaries of inclusion and exclusion, this book delves into the triad of homeland, hostland, and diaspora, highlighting the processes of exchange, negotiation, and contestation. Being attentive to how material conditions of globalization produce culturally specific diasporic subjects, Migration Matters engages with the idea of transnationality as a diasporic condition but without ignoring the national, racial, class, and gender differences. Addressing the contemporary condition of transnationality, the book considers how globalization shapes culturally specific diasporic subjects. It examines the persistent connections transnational migrants maintain with their homelands and how identities are configured across multiple nation-states. Spanning texts from 1989 to 2006, Migration Matters maps the shifts in nation and diaspora, particularly post-9/11 world. It is an essential read for scholars and students in South Asian diaspora studies, postcolonial literature, gender and cultural studies, migration, and transnationalism.

S.I.Rajan他編　アラビア湾におけるジェンダーと移民
Rajan, S. Irudaya / Balan, Divya (eds.), Gender and Migration in the Arabian Gulf. (Gulf Studies 25) 209 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-891>
ISBN 978-981-9552-58-0 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book provides a groundbreaking exploration of gender and migration in the Arabian Gulf, challenging dominant narratives that reduce women's migration to domestic labor and caregiving. It presents a nuanced, interdisciplinary analysis of how women navigate transnational labor markets, exercise agency, and confront systemic inequalities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This book addresses a critical gap in migration studies by moving beyond male-centered frameworks and offering fresh insights into the diverse experiences of women across occupational categories. This book highlights the intersections of mobility, governance, class hierarchies, and legal frameworks that shape women's migration journeys. It critically examines how labor policies-including the controversial kafala (sponsorship) system-impact women migrants, while also shedding light on their strategies of resilience and negotiation within these structures. The book engages with key themes such as migration governance, informal recruitment networks, gendered labor reforms, and the socio-economic impacts of migration on families left behind. By integrating case studies from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, it evaluates the effectiveness of recent policy changes in addressing migrant women's rights. It also explores the role of social networks in both facilitating migration and reinforcing precarity, particularly for low-wage workers. Timely and relevant, this book speaks to ongoing global debates on migration governance, labor rights, and gender equity. It provides policy-relevant insights and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to decent work, gender equality, and migrant protections. By uniting perspectives from sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and international relations, this book serves as an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, development professionals, humanitarian workers, and students seeking a deeper understanding of gendered migration in one of the world's most dynamic labor corridors.

Brankamp, Hanno, Occupied Refuge: Humanitarian Colonization and the Camp in Kenya. (Global Insecurities) 280 pp. 2026:2 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-906>

In a world shaped by war, climate disaster, and displacement, refugee camps are imagined as indispensable safe havens for millions of people fleeing crises. In Occupied Refuge, Hanno Brankamp challenges the presumed innocence of refugee humanitarianism as a system of civilian protection that can manage global inequalities and forced migration by peaceful means. He shows that although humanitarian missions aim to protect displaced populations in the global South, they often function as militarized occupations that treat camp inhabitants as new colonized subjects. Through ethnographic research in Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp, Brankamp demonstrates how aid operations rely on a combination of infrastructural expansion, militarized policing, ethno-racial subjugation, indirect rule, and economic extraction. By co-managing these camps with international aid agencies, the Kenyan state becomes not only a willing accomplice in planetary humanitarian containment but seeks to pacify its own peripheral territories, securitize unwanted migrants, and impose national rule. Illuminating how refugee camps serve as key sites where carceral protectionism, postcolonial nation-building, and global mobility control intersect, Brankamp calls for abolitionist futures beyond the violent structures of encampment, borders, and citizenship.

Eltayeb, Shahla / Marie Heltne, Unni / Dybdahl, R. (eds.), Resilience in the Shadows: Mental Health of Vulnerable Refugees and Displaced Communities in Africa. 446 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-907>
ISBN 978-981-9558-70-4 hard ¥39,761.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of the mental health challenges faced by vulnerable refugees and displaced communities-particularly children, women, and youth-from across the Horn of Africa, including Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, Somalia, and Ethiopia. It examines how displacement, poverty, cultural dislocation, and exposure to trauma profoundly shape mental well-being, highlighting the urgent need for tailored interventions and informed policy responses. Bringing together perspectives from psychology, public health, social work, and humanitarian practice, the book provides a holistic understanding of the complex factors influencing mental health in crisis settings. It centers resilience, coping, and real-life interventions, offering practical strategies for mental health practitioners, humanitarian organizations, and policymakers working on the front lines. Rich case studies and real-world examples illuminate the lived experiences and mental health needs of African refugees. Each chapter explores critical themes such as vulnerability in humanitarian contexts, culturally sensitive mental health interventions, long-term development, psychosocial support systems, gender-based violence, and community-centered healing. The book also underscores the value of low-threshold, accessible interventions in promoting recovery and overall well-being. This book is an indispensable resource for mental health professionals, scholars, and students in psychology, social work, and related fields. It is equally valuable for policymakers, humanitarian workers, NGOs supporting refugees, and general readers seeking a deeper understanding of refugee mental health and resilience.

地中海における移民統制
Santer, Kiri Olivia, The Borders of Responsibility: Migration Control in the Mediterranean Sea. (Global and Insurgent Legalities) 288 pp. 2026:5 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-581>

While migrants face many dangers in attempting to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea-from drowning to dying of dehydration-they also confront an elaborate legal system that is designed to return them to their countries of origin. In The Borders of Responsibility, Kiri Olivia Santer outlines the architecture of these legal systems and how they help Europe evade legal responsibility for rescuing migrants. Focusing on legal agreements between Italy and Libya that have resulted in the systematic interception of migrants, Santer shows how Europe's liberal identity is belied by legal agreements that let migrants die at sea or that send them back to dangerous, exploitative situations in post-Gaddafi Libya or their home countries. Law, she argues, is the tool that enables states to affect control beyond territory, whilst disappearing their responsibility for violence across border assemblages. Through ethnographic fieldwork with migrants, lawyers, policy makers, and humanitarian workers, Santer shows how the law is too often used as an instrument of violence against migrants, who fall outside of conventional structures of legal rights.

Wang, Lee Ann S., The Violence of Protection: Policing, Immigration Law, and Asian American Women. 152 pp. 2026:2 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-582>

Celebrated as a feminist victory upon its passage as part of the Clinton Crime Bill, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a landmark piece of legislation that provides protections for survivors of gender and sexual violence. However, as Lee Ann S. Wang shows in The Violence of Protection, VAWA primarily funds law enforcement efforts to rescue women, and in doing so, creates conditions of racial violence against survivors from communities who are already policed, surveilled, and face immigration enforcement. Through ethnographic fieldwork with legal and social advocates serving Asian American survivors of gender and sexual violence in the San Francisco Bay Area, Wang shows how these activists grapple with laws which require survivors to cooperate with policing in order to receive protection. Engaging in methodologies of feminist refusal, theories of racial assemblage, and abolition feminisms, The Violence of Protection theorizes the victim as a legal subject and exposes the racial violence enacted when State-provided legal safeguards are leveraged to expand punishment against survivors, their communities, and others.

Akintoye, Bisi, Black Britons, Race, and Policing: The Long Shadow. (Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies) 320 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-604>
ISBN 978-3-032-11661-1 hard ¥31,808.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book explores the historical and contemporary policing of Black communities in Britain, revealing how much has - and hasn't - changed. Drawing on 58 interviews with young people, elders, and community workers in a heavily policed North London neighbourhood, it offers a powerful, intergenerational account of racialised policing and its everyday consequences. Through an intersectional lens, it examines how race, gender, class, and place overlap to shape Black Britons' encounters with police and their sense of belonging. Through the voices of those most affected, the book traces how these experiences have produced enduring cultural narratives of mistrust, resistance, and exclusion. Exposing how policing continues to racialise and criminalise certain communities designated suspect status, it connects these practices to the legacies of empire and the politics of othering. It concludes by considering what these histories mean for the present and future of police-community relations and offers practical recommendations for building trust, accountability, and justice.

Maynard, Robyn, Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to Present. Rev. & Expanded ed. 472 pp. 2025:10 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-614>

Robyn Maynard's bestselling Policing Black Lives offers a comprehensive account of the state-sanctioned surveillance, criminalization, and punishment of Black lives in Canada. In this revised and expanded edition, Maynard exposes Canada's veneer of multiculturalism and tolerance to document how half a century of police reforms have expanded the scope and scale of policing and undermined Black freedom struggles in the wake of global Black uprisings in 2020. She traces the afterlives of slavery across multiple institutions and illuminates the state's role in perpetuating colonial dispossession, racial profiling, police killings, incarceration, immigration detention, deportation, exploitative migrant labor practices, and the school-to-prison pipeline. At the same time, Maynard foregrounds the ubiquity of Black resistance while offering new insights on how to build liveable futures without policing. Advancing a compelling vision for making policing obsolete and building new forms of safety, Policing Black Lives is an essential text that will guide and inspire activists, students, scholars, and all those working toward Black futures beyond surveillance and confinement.

In Predatory Welfare, Erin Torkelson explores how the direct cash transfer program instituted in South Africa revised and reworked post-apartheid racialized and gendered dispossession, despite its promise of ameliorating extreme poverty. Beginning in 2012, she focuses on how poor Black South African women assert their entitlements to social assistance and responsibilities to familial care against the pressures of expropriation built into the grant payment system. Because the grants did not cover monthly bills, recipients were pushed into predatory loans collateralized by welfare packages. Torkelson finds that the state-sponsored but privately-run program was fundamentally undermined by its reliance on digital financial technologies which encoded wider forces of colonial rule, nationalist politics, and global development. Even when the government assumed control of grant payment in 2018, the neoliberal bent of fiscal policy continued to drive recipients into debt in new ways. Drawing on seven years of ethnographic fieldwork and organization - in grant payment queues, loan offices, grocery stores, Parliament, and the Constitutional Court - Torkelson demonstrates how cash transfers can offer a means to making racial capitalism more acceptable and how recipients can push back to demand reparation.

Carrillo, Ian, The Business of Racism: Labor and Environment in Brazil's Racial Capitalism. 278 pp. 2026:5 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-360>

In The Business of Racism, Ian Carrillo employs a case study from Brazil's sugarcane industry to show how racial capitalism is promulgated and maintained through politics and business. As Carrillo recounts, in the mid-2000s, Brazil embarked on a state-led project to improve environmental and labor conditions in sugarcane production. He describes how, seeing increased government regulation of their worksite as a threat to their power, the elites of Brazil's sugar-ethanol industry repurposed long-standing racial ideologies to undermine progressive institutions and elevate their own leaders. Carrillo's extensive ethnographic fieldwork in mills and plantations, as well as interviews with federal labor regulators and sugar-ethanol industry elites in Brazil, weaves together an account of how Brazil's labor and environmental regulations are forged through racial and class struggles at worksites and within the state. The Business of Racism contributes to ongoing sociological debates about race, development, and the environment while highlighting future pathways for achieving racial justice, labor equality, and climate sustainability.

Bjoerklund Larsen, Lotta / Oats, Lynne, Crossing Borders, Sharing Burdens: Rethinking Taxation and Migration as Fiscal Belonging. 132 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-362>
ISBN 978-3-031-99393-0 hard ¥13,251.- (税込) EUR 49.99

Tax matters. It structures our societies, influences our choices, and reflects our values. Yet the meaning and impact of taxation are constantly changing in step with a world marked by climate transitions, demographic shifts, digitalisation, globalisation, and migration. This open access book addresses critical questions surrounding attitudes to tax and tax compliance through the lens of 'fiscal belonging,' demonstrating the value of qualitative approaches to tax research. It explores the lived experience of immigrants to the UK, and how feelings of belonging, exclusion, reciprocity, and obligation shape their encounters with the tax system. The book illuminates the many different facets of fiscal belonging, including the right to work and access to employment, as well as histories of colonialism and the economic history of different communities on a national scale. By foregrounding personal narratives and the complexity of social worlds, this book argues for more methodologically diverse and inclusive approaches to understanding why people do, or do not, pay tax. It will be of interest to scholars across disciplines, as well as tax professionals working in business, consultancy, and public administration.

不安定な権利－アジアとアメリカにおける移民労働者
Musikawong, Sudarat, Precarious Rights: Migrant Workers in Asia and the USA. (Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship) 228 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-401>
ISBN 978-981-9538-68-3 hard ¥34,459.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book examines the way that migrant workers' everyday experiences are being shaped by precarious conditions in the receiving countries. Utilising a mixed methods approach, the case studies of migrant workers in Thailand and Thai migrant workers in Taiwan, South Korea and the USA from 2005-2020 are analyzed to compare the strategies used toward justice in various contexts such as labour, permanent residency, and human rights. Revealing the limitations for true economic and social integration, the author argues that precarious conditions and exclusion from legal protections are the forces that limit noncitizens' access to remedies against wage theft, labour trafficking, forced labour and related human rights violations. NGOs advocating alongside Southeast Asian migrant workers therefore exemplify how transnational labour rights are negotiated to increase state social protections for foreign nationals abroad, working in dirty, dangerous, and degrading jobs globally. Advancing the growing literature on labour migration and precarities in South East Asia and the USA, the author combines labour and anti-trafficking theories with practices utilized by NGO and trade unions to participate in setting the agenda of this interdisciplinary field of migrant precarity. The implications are therefore not just of interest to scholars of migration from and in Asia but appeals to international practitioners in trade unions and policy makers.

Nurhidayah, Laely / Young, Amy / Handayani, W. (eds.), Climate Change, Labour and Migration in Indonesia: Impacts on Women and Children. (Springer Climate) 355 pp. 2026:4 (Springer, GW) <764-402>
ISBN 978-3-032-15333-3 hard ¥45,063.- (税込) EUR 169.99

This book explores the complex nexus of climate change, labour, and migration with a specific focus on women and children, using Indonesia as a case study. It provides a comprehensive analysis of intersecting issues, drawing on transdisciplinary academic knowledge from fields such as law, social work, gender studies, public health, engineering, and urban planning. The book examines the future of climate change law in Indonesia, gender-based adaptation strategies, and the role of local leaders in managing sea level rise impacts. It investigates the effects of climate change on labour migration, social protection for informal workers, and economic resilience strategies for women and children. Additionally, it analyzes immobility and adaptation strategies, forced migration, and the role of local government in addressing migration and climate change. Special emphasis is placed on the legal frameworks and policies necessary for effective climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as the principles of green criminology in understanding environmental injustices. This volume offers valuable insights and recommendations for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to develop holistic climate change mitigation strategies that address the needs of vulnerable communities. It is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of climate change, migration, labour, law, and green criminology.

Belenyi, Emese-Hajnalka / Flora, Gavril, Ethnic Belonging and Deaf Identity in Romania: Living in Multiple Minorities. 208 pp. 2026:4 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) * paper 2027:8 <764-411>

While Deafness can function as a cultural-linguistic identity with its own language and community norms, Deaf individuals may belong simultaneously to other social groups while sharing a Deaf identity. Throughout this work, Belenyi and Flora interpret Deafness and ethnicity through the lens of Social Identity Theory (SIT), which posits that individuals derive part of their self-concept from membership in social groups and predicts that group memberships shape self-concept and self-esteem. While SIT has its limitations, newer adaptations, such as self-categorization theory and identity process theory, allow for more nuanced interpretations. With a focus on Hungarian ethnic-minority Deaf people in Romania-and their partners and communities-the authors examine these insights to understand how Deaf people in Romania balance their ethnic and Deaf identities.Deaf people in East-Central Europe, especially in the multi-ethnic context of Romania, inhabit overlapping minority worlds. Although nation-building policies often emphasize linguistic and ethnic homogeneity, in practice Hungarian-Romanian relations within Deaf families and communities can reveal unexpected cultural bridges. This book combines a theoretical synthesis of Deaf identity, culture, and ethnicity with empirical life-course research to shed new light on how Deaf and ethnic identities intersect.

de Abreu, Marcio N., Race Beyond Vision: A Semiotic-Cultural Study of Racial Perception and Blindness. (Latin American Voices) 142 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <764-412>
ISBN 978-3-032-15317-3 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book shows how racial perception goes beyond the limits of sight. Drawing on Semiotic Cultural Psychology, it challenges the dominant visuocentric paradigm that equates race with visually apprehended phenotypic traits. Through an in-depth case study of a congenitally blind individual, the author demonstrates that racial distinctions are not self-evident to the senses but emerge through socially mediated, symbolic, and affective processes. Integrating insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and disability studies, the volume explores how race operates as a dynamic, culturally constructed sign within intersubjective relations. It critically revisits Brazilian racial classification systems, affirmative action controversies, and heteroidentification procedures, exposing the contradictions between race as a social construct and the visual essentialism embedded in current practices. The book advances a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes racial identity as a dimension of body image-biopsychosocial, historically situated, and affectively charged. Combining rigorous theoretical analysis with qualitative methodology, Race Beyond Vision: A Semiotic-Cultural Study of Racial Perception and Blindness contributes to debates on race, perception, and embodiment by revealing how blind individuals participate fully in the social construction of race. It will appeal to scholars and graduate students in cultural psychology, critical race studies, semiotics, and disability studies, as well as researchers interested in epistemology and qualitative inquiry.

This book highlights the experiences of people with disability and their family members from Syrian and Iraqi refugee backgrounds who have resettled in Australia over the past decade.Based on in-depth life history interviews, the book details the challenges people faced as refugees adapting to a new country. Some of these challenges are consistent with those faced by people from refugee backgrounds, but the book sheds special light on difficulties which are specific to or exacerbated by the disability experience. Taking a scholarly perspective, the Angela Dew explores the implications of these challenges and recommends alternative approaches which may diminish the challenges and enhance the benefits that can accrue to not just the individuals seeking refuge, but the societies receiving them. Bringing together four conceptual frameworks-life course theory, ecological theory, social capital theory, and journey theory-the book explores how the application of these theories offers complimentary viewpoints to provide a deeper understanding of the experiences of people with disability from refugee backgrounds. By affirming that people with disability and their family members who seek asylum and those who are accepted as refugees in resettlement countries deserve safety, security and support following traumatic life experiences which are compounded by their disability, Dew offers a vision for a richer, more equitable society.

Kim, Allen J. / Zulueta, Johanna O. (eds.), Ageing and Transnational Lives: Negotiating Care, Mobility, and Belonging. 300 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-438>
ISBN 978-981-9559-02-2 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book explores the complex intersections of ageing, migration, and transnational family life. Migration reshapes family structures and alters the quality and dynamics of relationships across generations and borders. Rather than viewing ageing solely from the perspective of older adults, this edited volume conceptualizes ageing as a life-long process, offering important connections to life-course perspectives on families and intergenerational relationships. Amid intensified global mobility and population ageing, the chapters present both quantitative and qualitative research from diverse contexts around the world. Together, they illuminate underexamined groups and social settings in the fields of ageing and migration, expanding and deepening current scholarly debates. Drawing on data from a range of social science disciplines, the volume provides rigorous analyses of aged care, health, parenthood, gender, and culture. It reveals the multifaceted ways in which ageing shapes family relationships within the context of migration and transnationalism. The contributions examine how ageing migrants navigate their own experiences of growing older while living apart from their adult children and kin, and how migrants engage with notions of well-being, care, and filial obligation in relation to ageing parents who remain in their countries of origin. Interdisciplinary in scope, this book will appeal to scholars and students of migration studies, family sociology, social gerontology, diaspora studies, and anthropology, offering new insights into the lived realities of ageing and care in a transnational world.

Addressing a significant gap in the field, Introduction to Religions of the African Diaspora brings together key themes-Africa, the Diaspora, colonialism, race, Black identity, and religion-into one cohesive and accessible volume.The text draws on over thirty years of the author's experience studying and teaching African and African Diasporan spiritualities and is informed by the recognition that many students arrive in the classroom with limited understanding of cultural and historical contexts-often carrying preconceived notions about Africa and Black people. The author, a Black U.S. scholar, approaches these topics with both personal insight and academic rigor, having personally navigated many of these same misconceptions. This perspective enriches the material, incorporating the history of Black Studies to challenge prevailing assumptions about the African continent and its diasporas.The book thoughtfully engages with both Western European and U.S. cultural norms, bringing them into conversation with the worldviews and values embedded within African and Diasporan religious traditions. By offering these comparative insights, the text serves as a valuable resource for students across disciplines, including religious studies, international studies, and history.Designed as an accessible and engaging introduction, the book is ideal for undergraduate courses and provides clear definitions and contextual explanations to support student comprehension. Each chapter is framed with a broad, inclusive lens and acknowledges the diversity of student backgrounds, including those engaged in mission work or service projects by providing them the critical tools needed for thoughtful and respectful engagement with African and diasporic communities.

Whyte, Christopher, Theologies Against White Supremacy: Bonhoeffer and the Below. (T&T Clark New Studies in Bonhoeffer's Theology and Ethics) 200 pp. 2026:2 (Bloomsbury T&T Clark, UK) * paper 2027:7 <764-274>

In this sensitive work, Whyte examines issues and ambiguities within Bonhoeffer's writing-as well as complexities in his biography-that imply gaps in his understanding of the full theological implications of Christ's solidarity with suffering. Whyte explores how, whilst Bonhoeffer ardently opposed white supremacist oppression enacted by the National Socialists, he also evidenced persistent entanglement with white supremacist logics and primary longings. Bonhoeffer scholars who ignore, miss, or dismiss these entanglements display vulnerability to those same logics. This book engages with a wide range of thinkers, including: Reggie Williams, Lisa Dahill, Michael Mawson, Katie Cannon, Gustavo Gutierrez, and Keri Day. It also considers the distinct responses to white supremacy offered in the early 20th Century by Adam Clayton Powell, Sr., Pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, and the leadership of the Azusa Street Revival as evidence that Bonhoeffer's view was not the only theological 'view from below'. Ultimately, Whyte offers a constructive theological ethical method for repentance away from white supremacy that builds on, critiques, and moves beyond Bonhoeffer. This method seeks to overcome the primary longings at the root of white supremacy to better resist the manifestations of white supremacist in our day. This work honors Bonhoeffer whilst seeking to go further along the paths of repentance he walked by addressing issues he did not consider.

Havlin, Tetiana, The Dynamics of Immigrant Agency: Identity Formation, Translanguaging and Purposeful Actions of Post-Soviet Migrants in West Germany. (Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship) 389 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-1222>
ISBN 978-981-9547-54-8 hard ¥13,251.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This open access book explores the dynamics of human agency within the complex context of settlement-oriented immigration through an in-depth case study of immigrants from the former Soviet Union who embarked on their journey to Germany during the 1990s and early 2000s. Employing a transnational lens and an interpretive approach, the book presents a novel empirically grounded Immigrant Agency Theory. Bridging the realms of integration and transnationalism, the Immigrant Agency Theory is a multifaceted analytical tool encompassing representational aspects (identity formations and frameworks), expressive dimensions (language use, multilingual practices, and translanguaging), and operational facets (e.g., contrasting (non)economic actions as entrepreneurship and active leisure). These elements serve as mechanisms facilitating transition, engagement, resistance, and the expression of flexible ethnic boundary-making, cultural pluralism, and the maintenance of difference through auto-exoticism as exemplified by the studied population groups. This monograph is valuable for sociologists, migration scholars, social linguists, researchers of cultural studies and Eastern Europe interested in understanding the correlation between historical events and East-West European migration processes during the transition period of the Soviet and post-Soviet space.

Centering the voices and experiences of women of color in community college leadership is a mandate for meaningful institutional change. In doing so, we not only deepen our understanding but also empower a more inclusive and effective leadership model.This book highlights the perspectives of 17 leaders from diverse backgrounds including African American, Asian Pacific Islander, and Latino/Hispanic communities. By sharing the reflections of current and former community college chancellors and presidents the book enriches our understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by these women leaders. By revealing how they perceive themselves, as well as how they are perceived by their peers, women of color illuminate their experiences as community college leaders, including navigating the intersections of race, ethnicity, and gender. The book is divided into four parts, with chapters examining the unique pressures faced by women of color leaders in their roles in academia and emphasizing the importance of having a "voice at the table." It considers the dynamics of the proverbial glass ceiling as bent, cracked, broken, or shattered and offers valuable insights from this diverse group of women leaders while crystalizing the "hidden curriculum" that leaders of color must navigate within higher education.

In Racial Beings, Michelle N. Huang brings a feminist new materialist lens to bear on contemporary Asian American literature's innovative play with discourses of science and technology. She argues that emerging from these works is a "molecular aesthetics" - formal experimentation that diminishes the boundaries of the human - which challenge the perception of racial identity as a trait of an individual human. Instead, molecular aesthetics reveals how race permeates the matter of the world. Reading works by authors such as Ruth Ozeki, Larissa Lai, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, and Julie Otsuka through the language of scientific discourses like quantum physics, genetic engineering, and elemental chemistry, Huang develops a synthetic reading practice which shows both that the nexus of race and science is not reducible to scientific racism and that science can provide an unlikely creative reservoir for Asian American writers and artists which allows us to imagine alternative ways of understanding racial being beyond the limits of the human individual.

As a member of the integrated Women's Army Corps, Private First Class Sarah Keys served her country as a receptionist at Fort Dix, New Jersey. When she boarded a bus home to North Carolina in 1952, she never expected to be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to move to the rear so a white Marine could take her seat. Her landmark 1955 Civil Rights victory, "Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company" not only desegregated interstate bus travel, it also provided the legal precedent needed during the 1961 Freedom Rides to pressure the Interstate Commerce Commission to properly enforce its Sarah Keys ruling. Often overlooked in many accounts of the Civil Rights era, her arrest and victory are crucial milestones in the fight against segregation. Riding into History draws on years of personal conversations with Sarah Keys Evans as well as extensive research to present a biography of this hero and her role in the struggle for civil rights alongside the long history of many other Black Americans, especially women, who protested racial segregation in interstate travel.

Domesticating Brown interrogates the slippery senses that brownness as a racial form has manifested over time, charting its transitions across historical colonial contexts and into the transpacific dynamics of contemporary empire. Christopher B. Patterson rethinks universalist definitions of race to consider the constant movements in racial contexts, meanings, and practices that "brownness" reveals: as a site for the ungovernable brown mass, as peoples marked for domestication through strategies of colonial containment, and as the complex shades that reveal troubling genealogies and shameful intimacies. Tracing the emergences and transformations of brownness in various contexts of transpacific encounter-from the Mongol Empire to Filipino plantation migration in Hawai?i, from the imperial management of Hong Kong to contemporary brown authorship-Domesticating Brown explores how colonial subjects and other marginalized peoples have strategized ways of resisting and reversing dominating notions of brownness through art, story, and embodied difference.

With a focus on the changing political landscape, this book offers a fresh approach to increasing the HBCU value proposition for the next century.While HBCUs are individually unique, they have similar missions, audiences, threats, and aspirations. This commonality suggests that they should unify in a way that preserves the identity of each, leverages shared resources, and strengthens their standing as an institution class. In this book, special attention is given to the opportunity for HBCUs to leverage Artificial Intelligence enterprise wide. Written for wide stakeholder engagement, Black College Blueprint proposes that the best way to accomplish collective HBCU advancement is to create an HBCU Consortium and an HBCU Think Tank to help structure and lead a new expression of Black college education nationally and globally.

Storti, Anna M. Moncada, Torn: Asian/White Life and the Intimacy of Violence. 264 pp. 2026:3 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-1244>

In Torn, Anna M. Moncada Storti searches for the ordinary and obscured impressions of the US empire, theorizing the pervasiveness of its violence through the language and patterns of intimacy. Reading for the intimacy of violence, Storti compiles an inventory of quotidian, psychic, and affective tensions that arise within the bodies of empire's historical subjects. She raises Asian/white life as the representative case study to examine a familiar narrative of inner strife-that being of two distinct racial histories is to be rendered a body in tension, torn between ancestral lineages. Rather than refute this stance, Storti tracks the duress of fragmentation as a sign of war's permanent mark on racial and sexual subjection. Traversing an archive of aesthetic, literary, and cultural portrayals of Asian/white racial mixture, Storti observes how Asian Americans refuse, rework, or reify the logics of progress and disavowal that have long fueled the US war machine. Tending to tension, she argues for a sustained confrontation with empire's ordinary life, a prerequisite for anti-imperial solidarity.

How the "Asian girl" is central to the story of US imperialism and the formation of Asian AmericaRepresentations of the "Asian girl" as lucky objects of humanitarian rescue and rehabilitation have been used to advance America's imperial ambitions from World War II to the wars in Korean and Viet Nam. In this compelling work, Sharon N. Tran traces the production and instrumentalization of this figure through an examination of state documents, military newspapers, documentary photographs, and other archival materials. Theorizing "Asian girlhood" as a technology of imperial power, Tran exposes how the Asian girl is invoked as a shield that protects the innocence of US empire while she is excluded from innocence herself - relegated instead to a precarious position between child and adult, human and nonhuman, plaything and laborer.Offering fresh insight into how imperial power operates, Tran analyzes figures such as the Japanese American school-girl in the context of World War II incarceration, the elusive "camptown girl," and the objectified image of the "Napalm Girl." Her innovative feminist approach interrogates the tendency to reclaim innocence for the Asian girl or to reframe her as an empowered woman. She engages the work of writers and artists such as Kiku Hughes, Nora Okja Keller, Aimee Phan, and le thi diem thuy to demonstrate how Asian American literature offers rich theoretical interventions for critiquing the child-adult dichotomy that underpins key structures of imperial domination, illuminating more capacious conceptions of girlhood.Restoring the dignity and agency of a figure too often denied both, Asian Girlhood in the Shadows of US Empire is a groundbreaking intersectional contribution to studies of gender, race, childhood, and state power.Retail e-book files for this title are screen-reader friendly with images accompanied by short alt text and/or extended descriptions.

This book explores migrant students' struggles for equitable access to higher education in Canada, focusing on a first-of-its-kind bridging program at York University.Through the concepts of "bordering" and "countering," Villegas and Aberman examine how students excluded due to immigration status resisted systemic barriers by forming supportive classroom communities and challenging dominant narratives. Providing essential insights for educators, policymakers, and advocates seeking to build more inclusive and just higher education systems, this book reveals how everyday acts of resistance can transform exclusion into opportunity and reimagine universities as sanctuaries.

This book examines how "colorblind" policies perpetuate racial bias by masking the structural and systemic roots of inequality.Leland Ware critically examines the persistence of racial inequality in the United States despite landmark legal advancements, arguing that numerous policies obscure the structural forces that sustain segregation and disparity-particularly in education. Through analysis of the strategic use of racially coded political rhetoric and key Supreme Court rulings, Ware demonstrates how race-neutral frameworks often reinforce, rather than remediate, systemic inequity. For legal scholars, educators, sociologists, and political scientists, this work offers a reinterpretation of civil rights jurisprudence, a framework for addressing de facto segregation, and a vital lens through which to understand how racial resentment continues to shape policy and public discourse.
