The rediscovery of the first film to depict African American affection revises the history of American cinema. In 1898, vaudeville actors Saint Suttle and Gertie Brown joyously embraced in a short silent film titled Something Good-Negro Kiss. The first known film to portray African American affection, it was lost for over a century until its rediscovery inspired contemporary audiences with a powerful and enduring depiction of Black love. More than a missing piece in an untold history of Black cinematic performance, Something Good-and the magnetism of Suttle and Brown-attests to the power of Black performance on stage and screen from the nineteenth century to today. In Acts of Love, Allyson Nadia Field tells the story of Something Good and recovers the forgotten yet fascinating lives of its performers and their world. Drawing a vivid picture from sparse historical records, Acts of Love examines popular culture's negotiation of blackness to reconsider the intersections of minstrelsy, vaudeville, and cinema in ragtime America. This book not only presents the story of Something Good, its performers, and the drama of its rediscovery; it shows how the rediscovery of this short early film changes our understanding of American film history.

Essays by feminist scholars of German Studies looking at how women-particularly women of color-have put their anger to use in German-language cultural production and how they themselves might do so in their scholarship. In Germany and in Western culture more broadly, women experience anger in response to misogyny, racism, and other injustice, but open expression of that anger is often considered unwomanly. Yet a rich tradition of feminist thinkers of color-including Audre Lorde, Brittney Cooper, Amia Srinivasan, and Sara Ahmed-understands anger as energizing and imperative for structural change. How might we cultivate an anger that is affirming, inclusive, legitimate, creative, animating, and most of all, feminist? This volume of essays by feminist scholars of German Studies-writing in dialogue with such thinkers while acknowledging their own largely white, privileged positionalities-looks at how women have put their anger to use in German-language cultural production and how they themselves might do so in their scholarship. The eleven contributions approach the topic of female anger intersectionally and transnationally. They examine angry women in the contexts of politics, activism, philosophy, economics, race, nationality, sexuality, illness, and humour. Covering a wide array of genres and discussing works from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries, they explore creators including writers, filmmakers, comedian/activists, musicians, and journalists. They investigate the tensions between the emotion of anger and the practice of being an angry woman, global responses to anger, and artistic representations of angry women in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

The relationship between migration and media has become an essential topic of study due to its ethical and civil responsibility implications, particularly in today's digitalized global environment. The media's narrative on world and regional politics, local and global economy, religion, war, and civil conflicts affects the experience of migration and diaspora. In response, artistic representations and cultural interventions have become forms of activism, resistance, and confrontation against the narrative of power. Likewise, the digital space began to be used more intensely as a place of activism for migrants and civil society interested in their human rights. For instance, digital archives such as Humanizing Deportation and social media are used to do activism, the first one through digital storytelling, where migrants can express their deportation stories on video, and the second one uses digital circulation to create community and as a call for action. Artistic- Technological interventions such as Playas de Tijuana Mural (2019) use art and technology to protest the politics of migration by portraying family separation. Theater intermedial performances use virtual spaces to represent distance and the resistance to it. Cinema shows the social and political implications of their visual narrative. Finally, new practices, concepts, and models in AI, journalism, and internet freedom have created a rhetoric that could benefit migrants. Migration is usually seen through numbers, statistics, graphics, and quantitative data, which dehumanizes migrants. With this book, we aim to contribute to the knowledge of the phenomena through the lenses of a more humanistic approach to activism in digital media in the Hispanic world. We propose chapters that explore the activism of migrants and civil society committed to them from a critical perspective. This book, intended to be read by students, researchers, and the public interested in migration, presents interdisciplinary approaches to activist narratives, art, and digital. It explores diverse types of migrations and related phenomena, such as deportation, "voluntary" return, caravans, the Cuban diaspora, US childhood arrivals, and the particularities of the Southern U.S. border. These topics are analyzed in essays on race, politics, theater, film, music, painting, journalism, multimedia, digital archives, social media, storytelling, and artificial intelligence. In the abstracts, you will find diverse perspectives on how digital media act as platforms that allow horizontal activism, which is a direct response at the same level as the rhetoric of power. Likewise, the proposed essays enable us to reflect on the role of arts and media in favoring the expression of the migrant community and those who share a common feeling. Still, in the same way, we will see how digital media, if misused, can also harm vulnerable communities. Work by newer and established migration studies, digital culture scholars, and scholars from both sides of the US-Mexico border and other latitudes is incorporated, providing a comprehensive overview of the intersection between migration, media, and arts in Latin America. The book will consist of an Introduction and 13 chapters divided into three sections: 1. Media and Digital Media Artists?Activism; 2. Migrant Activists Online; and 3) Activism through New Constructive Practices.

Abumere, Frank Aragbonfoh, African Migrants in Africa and Europe: Migration, Securitisation and Identity. 160 pp. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <758-963>

This book juxtaposes two realities of our world. On the one hand, the extensity, intensity and velocity of the current form of globalization amplified the role of globalization in the migrations and movements of people, and consequently amplified the centrality of the migrations and movements of people in our contemporary world. On the other hand, in spite of globalization: (i) migration is a problematic phenomenon, and (ii) Africans remain 'outsiders' in Europe, and Africans from some African states remain 'outsiders' in other African states. Understanding (i) and (ii) is crucial to understanding the current plight of African migrants. Taking his cue from Alexander Wendt's (1992) social constructivist argument that 'anarchy is what states make of it', Frank Abumere shows how and why the problem of identity, rather than the problem of securitization, is the fundamental problem when dealing with the problem of migration.

This book examines the enduring legacies of slavery, colonialism, and apartheid, arguing that these are not merely historical events but ongoing injustices shaping systemic racism today. Through a six-fold framework, the book explores the links between the past and present (the residuality objective), the possibility of future injustices (the probability objective), and the necessity of rectificatory justice. The book also proposes pathways for addressing these legacies (the way-forward objective) while encouraging Black and African communities to focus on empowerment and resilience beyond demands for rectification (the beyond rectification and realistic resolution objectives). With a critical eye on the ongoing impacts of slavery, colonialism, and apartheid, the author challenges the notion that these injustices are mere historical relics. Instead, this book demonstrates how their residues are embedded in the systemic racism that persists today. It calls for a reckoning with the past to dismantle the structures of racism in the present.

War, persecution, and climate change too often force people from their homes and across borders. Most remain in difficult conditions in neighboring countries. The less than one percent of refugees offered resettlement to a different country gain an alternative path forward, with access to specialized supports and services that are traditionally understood as a solution to displacement and a program of integration. Examining the complexities of refugees' lived experiences, Molly Fee's deeply humanistic ethnography reframes resettlement as a period of disruption and disorientation, when newly arrived refugees must navigate the rules and expectations of a new country. For those who have already rebuilt their lives numerous times, resettlement becomes yet another uprooting. Believing in Light after Darkness reveals how humanitarian solutions, though well intentioned, do not immediately resolve the conditions of displacement.

The consequences of U.S. border policies through the experiences of Honduran migrants. Hondurans have been at the heart of some of the most visible migration phenomena in the last few years, as well as the direct target of anti-immigrant rhetoric and policy. In Leave If You Can, Amelia Frank-Vitale offers a detailed portrait of the Honduran exodus and what it reveals about the broader consequences of changing US border enforcement policies. She highlights the stories of those who are often presented as unsympathetic: deported young men implicitly associated with the very violence they are trying to flee. In the process, she challenges underlying assumptions frequently held by policy makers and humanitarian agencies. Connecting overlapping regimes of mobility control, from the invisible gangland borders within San Pedro Sula to the growing expansiveness of the U.S. border's reach, this book shows how deportation does not deter migration but, in fact, keeps people moving, and how U.S. policies fuel the migration "crisis" they claim to address. Drawing from her own experiences accompanying migrant caravans over many years, Frank-Vitale also explores how caravans emerge as both protest movement and migration tactic in response to this expanding border regime.

Gullah-Geechee Diasporas counters romantic portrayals of Gullah-Geechee culture as a static, geographically isolated remnant of the past. Across eight interdisciplinary essays, the book's contributors trace an arc, described in time and space, from pre-Middle Passage Africa through the Caribbean and coastal United States into the interior South and beyond. They consider how Gullah-Geechee cultural traditions are simultaneously rooted in the physical Lowcountry homeland and represent a dynamic cultural ethos that is not bounded by geography and has shaped Black life across North America and the Caribbean Basin. Together, these essays reveal the resilience and adaptability of people whose history defies myths of isolation and immobility. Gullah-Geechee Diasporas is a fresh framework for understanding African American cultural origins, migrations, and transformations.

ISBN 978-3-11-914777-4 hard ¥25,396.- (税込) EUR 99.95

The book analyzes how three political movements used the concept of culture in France between the late 1960s and the early 1980s: the women's movement, the postmigrant movement, and a far-right group called GRECE. The book asks what culture meant for the movements and when and why activists evoked the concept. Two overall trends shaped concepts of culture during the period of investigation. First, decolonization as an intellectual and political development redefined political key concepts such as culture. Second, change through culture replaced visions in which the state was the central instrument for political change. At the same time, specific surrounding contexts, such as legal, financial, and cultural resources, the movements’ sociologies, and the political environments with their dominant discourses, potential allies, and enemies shaped the intellectual histories of the political movements. By studying political movements as production sites of a concept, the book connects intellectual history to political and social history. It studies intellectual labor beyond famous individuals and as much in practice as in theory.

From The New York Times-bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hemingses of Monticello, a groundbreaking collection of Thomas Jefferson's writings on race that every American should readAmong America's Founding Fathers, none was more deeply, personally, or controversially entangled with race and slavery than Thomas Jefferson. The man whose Declaration of Independence proclaimed that "all men are created equal" enslaved more than 600 people of African descent even as he acknowledged the injustice of slavery, saw himself as its opponent, and condemned it in his writings. How is this possible? In Jefferson on Race, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Annette Gordon-Reed gathers Jefferson's most revealing writings about African Americans, slavery, and Native Americans, enabling readers as never before to directly explore his complex and contradictory thoughts, feelings, and decisions on these subjects-the most hotly debated aspect of his legacy.These selections come from Jefferson's public and private writings, letters, and plantation records, as well as accounts by contemporaries, including his son Madison Hemings and three other people formerly enslaved at Monticello. The book documents Jefferson's ideas about-and self-image in relation to-African Americans, slavery, and Native Americans, as well as his conduct, including interactions with individual Black and Native people. The writings show how Jefferson responded to living in a multiracial slave society while professing progressive ideals, and how his views on race and slavery were shaped by his experiences with enslaved Black people.Jefferson on Race is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Jefferson's conflicted attitudes-and the impact of race and slavery on American history.

Kurashige, Scott Tadao, American Peril: The Violent History of Anti-Asian Racism. 344 pp. 2026:4 (U. California Pr., US) <758-987>
ISBN 978-0-520-42477-7 hard ¥6,087.- (税込) US$ 27.95

This probing account shines a new light on the problem of anti-Asian violence and inspires us to build lasting solidarity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, racist demagoguery fomented a campaign of terror against Asian Americans. But these attacks were part of a much longer pattern that made anti-Asian racism integral to the outbreak of white supremacist, misogynist, and colonial violence across 175 years of U.S. history. Written in the radical spirit of Howard Zinn, American Peril represents the culmination of thirty-five years of study and activism by award-winning scholar Scott Kurashige. From the lynching of Asian immigrants during the exclusion era to the U.S. military's slaughter of Asian civilians, the book connects domestic and global events that have been erased from the official record. Going beyond victimhood, it traces the rise of Asian American community protest and activism in response to the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin and other overlooked tragedies. While many have worked to legislate and prosecute hate crimes, Kurashige argues that hope lies in grassroots activism for multiracial solidarity.

Larsen, Henrik Kjellmo, How Spontaneous Volunteers Disrupt the Management of Forced Migrants and Life Seekers. 206 pp. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <758-988>
ISBN 978-981-9517-53-4 hard ¥33,029.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book explores how spontaneous volunteers disrupt the politics and practices of managing the movement of life seekers. Drawing on rich empirical material from the 2015 Greek refugee crisis, it reveals how these unaffiliated actors challenge humanitarian systems shaped by neoliberal logic and border violence. Through a multimethod approach-including autoethnography, interviews, and participatory observation-the book traces how spontaneous volunteers expose the failures of international organisations and states to uphold human rights. It shows how their presence unsettles dominant narratives, disrupts illiberal governance, and surfaces the emotional and moral cost of crisis response. Chapters examine the criminalisation of aid, the commodification of humanitarian values, and the psychosocial toll on those who step in where institutions fall short. Situated in Critical Development Studies, this book offers interdisciplinary insights relevant to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working on solidarity, humanitarianism, security, and global governance.

Reckoning with the current state of ethnic studies. Ethnic studies is more visible than ever. A project that once struggled at the margins of academic and public life has now achieved significant levels of prominence and impact, not without threat from well-funded political and legal campaigns against critical affirmative action, critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. In this "moment of danger," George Lipsitz looks at the current state of the field. Outlining the painful contradictions faced within, Lipsitz delineates the ways in which ethnic studies produces opposition, experiences incorporation, and equips people to challenge, survive, and overcome oppression. He also looks at its potential in connecting those across the academy with broader community circles and discovering unexpected alliances and affinities. Critical yet optimistic, this book upholds the promising wider role of ethnic studies in social transformation.

McCormick, Claire A., European Migrants in Eighteenth Century Ireland: The Great Palatine Migration of 1709 and its Aftermath. (Irish Historical Monographs) 234 pp. 2025:10 (Boydell, UK) <758-993>

A study of an unexpected large-scale migration, of the many issues it gave rise to, and of its aftermath. Although Ireland is usually thought of as a place from which people emigrate, there was in the early eighteenth century a significant immigration to Ireland of 'poor Palatines' from southwestern states of the Holy Roman Empire. This book explores this mass immigration and the related issues. It outlines what caused the sudden movement of so many people in one six-month period - successive wars, widespread devastation, famine and the notably cold winter of 1708/09. It discusses the role of pan European Protestantism, with churchmen working alongside colonists and shows how the migration was a Whig initiative, supported by a major public relations exercise in which leading literary figures participated. It situates the migration within the migration of poor Palatines more widely in Britain and Britain's American colonies and examines the subsequent evolution of the Palatine community as they struggled with problems of identity and worked to settle and integrate, in some cases making significant contributions to Irish life. Throughout, the book highlights the debates, familiar at present, as to whether migrants were potential contributors to the wealth of a nation, or simply a likely drain on a nation's resources.

Moorosi, Pontso / Showunmi, Victoria (eds.), Leadership through the Lens of Whiteness and Intersectionality. 216 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <758-994>
ISBN 978-3-032-05972-7 hard ¥38,111.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This volume takes up intersectionality and whiteness as perspectives through which to engage and understand leadership. The chapters draw from research and theory, as well as the authors' own personal backgrounds and experiences to illustrate the complexity of leadership as a concept and the nuances of the development of leaders' own individual leadership identities and perspectives. Presenting theoretically and empirically informed conversations that engage both scholarship and real-life issues in the sphere of leadership, authors address important issues for advancing research and practice in international contexts, including Australia, Botswana, Canada, South Africa, Pakistan, Netherlands, UK, and USA. Chapters evaluate the dominant models, conceptions, and perspectives of leadership as part of advocating alternative models of leadership which acknowledge the multiplicity of permutations of diversity of genders and ethnicities across the world. By so doing, authors consider how their work might lead to social change. It will be of interest to researchers, educators, and students in Gender Studies, Business, and Management, as well as community and corporate leaders.

Nelson, Robb, The Anatomy of Colorism in America: A Comparative Study of Colorism Across the Long Nineteenth Century. VII, 216 S. 2025:4 (de Gruyter Oldenbourg, GW) <758-995>
ISBN 978-3-11-162027-5 hard ¥25,396.- (税込) EUR 99.95

The Anatomy of Colorism in America addresses the significance that colorism, racial hierarchy, and white skin idealization have each had on the lives of individuals across multiple communities and how those experiences have compared with one another. These three complexion-based imperial systems culturally, legally, politically, and socially divided persons based on differing skin shades, hair textures, eye shapes, facial angles, body types, or claims to mythical racial backgrounds. The Anatomy of Colorism in America argues that the practices associated with empire building and imperial expansion in America, such as manifest destiny, settler colonialism, and indentured servitude and slavery all led to the creation of these complexion-based divisions. Once formed, these divisions led to socially damaging outcomes for the individuals perceived as nonwhite by the local Anglo-American settler colonial class. This book documents four locations and communities where such circumstances emerged and compares them. The four case studies investigated in this book include Blacks in Charleston, South Carolina, the Californios in Alta California, Mormons in Utah, and the relationship between Indigenous Hawaiians, Japanese immigrants, and Anglo-American whites in Hawaii.

Focusing on Myanmar’s Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and Malaysia, this study provides an in-depth analysis of the contribution of historical legacies of exclusion, along with contemporary practices of marginalisation and otherisation to the transcendence of the precarity landscape. In light of the 2017 displacement of over a million Rohingya from Myanmar’s Rakhine state to neighbouring Bangladesh, the book offers a nuanced and empirically driven analysis of precarity across a wide spectrum at discrete and overlapping scales, shaped by statelessness, vulnerability, uncertainty, onward migration and everyday practices of exclusion. Bringing together the diverse manifestation along the lines of identity, status, space, mobility, gender and labour, the study proposes a comprehensive understanding of precarity, conceptualised as the ‘interconnected geographies of precarity’. Elucidating the intricate web of structural constraints that predate (in Myanmar) and are continually reconstructed and actualised (in exile), the book examines the continuum of precarity in extended transnational spaces ? a phenomenon that is complex, non-linear, transitional and multi-faceted.

This open access book examines migrant settlement in regional Australia, offering policy recommendations and conceptual frameworks for sustainable integration. With a focus on key areas such as socio-political contexts, employment, education, health, and family challenges, this book provides a holistic approach to understanding and addressing the complexities of migrant settlement. Australia's rich cultural landscape is shaped by its status as a migration nation, with over half of its population either born overseas or having at least one migrant parent. While migration is a key element of Australia's growth, regional areas face unique challenges in attracting and retaining migrants. Despite government initiatives, skill shortages persist in regional industries, prompting a need for comprehensive policy addressing migrant needs and regional development. This book fills a critical gap in the literature, offering valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and service providers. It not only highlights the challenges faced by migrants in regional Australia but also underscores the importance of community capacity-building and support services in facilitating successful settlement.

Respectability on the Line offers a social and cultural history of railway labor in Britain and colonial India from the 1840s through World War I. The book treats the railway industry as a microcosm through which to study the history of capitalism in the liberal imperial era. Using company records, Mattie Armstrong-Price shows how executives shaped the domestic and working lives of higher-grade employees with an eye to cultivating their respectability. Meanwhile workers' writings reveal how railway towns provided opportunities for some employees to maintain non-heteronormative living arrangements. The book tracks these histories of everyday life while also outlining stories of early trade unionism. In Britain, railway unionists established benefit funds that mimicked company-sponsored provident funds, while in colonial India workers fought to gain access to company benefits on equal terms. This comparative study shows how industrial labor was made through conflict, subversion, and accommodation across an uneven imperial field.

Beck, Lois, Iran's Minorities: Social Diversity and State Power. 400 pp. 2026:4 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <758-727>

In the wake of Iran's revolution in 1978-79, a fundamentalist Islamic theocracy took control of the country. These dramatic changes impacted all sectors of society including a vast array of diverse peoples and cultures. In this book, Lois Beck provides an anthropological and historical account of Iran's many minorities. She focuses on the aftermath of the revolution, declaration of an Islamic republic, and Iraq-Iran war. Drawing on six decades of anthropological research, Beck provides frameworks for understanding how each of Iran's linguistic, religious, ethnic, ethno-national, and tribal minorities fashioned unique identities. These identities stem from factors relating to history, location, socioeconomic patterns, and sociocultural traits. They reflect the people's interactions with Iran's rulers and governments as they changed over time. A modern nation-state cannot be fully understood without knowing the extent of its reach in the peripheries and border regions and among its diverse peoples. This landmark study challenges existing scholarly accounts by offering broad and detailed perspectives on Iran's many distinct languages, religions, ethnicities, ethno-nations, and tribes.

How did Israeli and Western Jews react to Ethiopian immigrants in Israel who are referred to as “Black Jews”? The book addresses the question of what occurs when Jews choose whiteness and Black individuals choose Blackness by examining the case of Ethiopian Jews and their immigration to Israel from the mid-19th century to today. This in-depth, holistic analysis of Ethiopian Jewish experience in Israel by an Ethiopian Jewish scholar provides a fresh, necessary perspective on “Black” Jewish diaspora experiences, on Jewish Studies and Black Studies theory.

There is a widespread assumption that both ethnicity itself, and ethnic conflict, are inevitable. Yet, we know very little about how ethnic identifications function in bureaucratic terms in Africa. The stakes of this problem are rapidly escalating in moves to digital identification and population knowledge systems. Focusing on Kenya, this study provides an urgently needed exploration of where ethnic classifications have come from, and where they might go. Through genealogies of tools of ethnic identification - maps, censuses, ID cards and legal categories for minorities and marginalised communities - Samantha Balaton-Chrimes challenges conventional understandings of classifications as legible. Instead, she shows them to be uncertain and vague in useful ways, opening up new modes of imagining how bureaucracy can be used to advance pluralism. Knowing Ethnicity holds important insights for policy makers and scholars of difference and governmentality in postcolonial societies, as well as African and ethnic politics.

Why is the canon literature on Africa structured by white knowledge? Why is Black German history and diaspora history not a part of African Studies programs in Germany? Why are questions of Blackness and race underrepresented in German African Studies? How do African scholars think about African studies? This book deals with questions around knowledge production on Africa and its diasporas, the making and sustaining of a canon, and the role of the university as a gate-keeper of certain knowledges. It also engages with the specific German unease and lateness to remember its colonial past and the attached problematique of discussing race and Blackness in Germany.

Suits, Robert, The Hobo: A History of America's First Climate Migrants. 296 pp. 2026:5 (Princeton U. Pr., US) <758-826>
ISBN 978-0-691-28466-8 hard ¥6,523.- (税込) US$ 29.95

A panoramic history of America's first climate migrantsFrom the mid-nineteenth century through the dustbowl years of the Great Depression, a new kind of migrant worker became a familiar sight in communities across America. The Hobo traces the journeys of these homeless men and women, showing how hobo work was an adaptation to energy transitions and a harsh and unpredictable climate, and how the hobo played a central role in the histories of industrialization and westward expansion.Challenging common depictions of the hobo as a world-weary, bearded man in ragged clothes, Robert Suits reveals how these wandering laborers were often fastidious and heartbreakingly young. Forever on the move due to economic hardship and climate disaster, they chased harvests and took seasonal jobs in industries like logging and mining. Too often they couldn't find employment at all. Suits describes the difficult, dangerous, and highly unstable jobs they worked while shedding light on the hobo life and philosophy, from their techniques for stowing away on railroads to their unique blend of socialist, anarchist, and anti-work thought. He traces the emergence of the hobo to the advent of steam and the need for manual laborers in places where this new technology couldn't reach and describes how a growing reliance on the internal combustion engine brought an end to hobo work.Drawing on oral histories, environmental data, and cutting-edge digital methods, The Hobo paints an unforgettable portrait of an eclectic group of wandering radicals, troublemakers, poets, and writers, demonstrating how their experiences upend some of our basic assumptions about how environments and technologies shape society.

Enduring Illegality chronicles the lives of undocumented Mexican immigrants who have spent decades in the United States waiting for a path to legalization that never arrives. Based on longitudinal fieldwork, this book traces how people who migrated as young adults have transitioned into middle age still undocumented-caught in a state of legal and temporal suspension. Focusing on parents who would have qualified for the failed Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) program, Angela S. Garcia argues that illegality is not only a legal condition but a temporal one-produced and reproduced through decades of waiting for reform. Even in the face of such exclusion, migrants sustain lives, labor, and care across borders. Enduring Illegality offers a critical account of how the state uses time as a mechanism of immigration control, structuring lives and inequality in ways that outlast any single policy or presidential administration.

ISBN 978-3-032-03222-5 hard ¥35,570.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This collection of essays examines the spheres of arts, culture, and digital communication to trace debates that revolve around the notions of decolonization and racial (in)justice in Central and Southeast Europe. It asks how the global narratives of racial and ethnic solidarity find their way into regional contexts. How do these narratives activate the present political agenda as well as the historical pasts? How are they understood and expressed by professionals like academics, artists, activists, and above all, by actors from the lay digital audience? The edited volume presents provocative cases of political and cultural debates from Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia. Individual contributions employ an interdisciplinary framework, ranging from memory and media studies to cultural and visual studies. They discuss various phenomena from the fields of popular culture, visual arts, public art, and literature, as well as the regional examples of Black Lives Matter and Roma Lives Matter movements.

アメリカ政治における白人のアイデンティティ

The politics of white identity pervade American national discourse, and many commentators and scholars rightfully express concern about rising tides of white nationalism in America politics. Yet white Americans today exhibit broad diversity in their ethnic origins, the relative importance of those origins, and their views on race in politics and society. In White Identities in American Politics, Dominik Stecula and Matthew P. Hitt draw on two large original surveys to codify the various forms of white identities that exist in America today. White Americans are no more monolithic politically and psychologically than any other ethnic group. The various typologies of whiteness exhibit durable and meaningful relationships with other important political attitudes, including nativism, immigration attitudes, and racial resentment. In an era where all politics can be related to identity politics, oversimplifying and overgeneralizing the attitudes and behaviors of America's largest racial and ethnic group risks accidentally reinforcing and affirming a hegemonic form of white identity divorced from nuance and ethnic origins, one responsible for centuries of violence and bigotry in the United States.

中東欧におけるウクライナ難民
Ciocea, Malina (ed.), Ukrainian Refugees in Central and Eastern Europe: Public Debates, Strategic Narratives and Practices. 242 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <758-594>
ISBN 978-3-032-07840-7 hard ¥25,406.- (税込) EUR 99.99

This book explores how the public problem of the Ukrainian refugees is constructed in political and media discourses, by looking into the public debates, strategic narratives and practices circulated with reference to this crisis. Taking into consideration the particularities of Central and Eastern European societies, the authors analyse how the Ukrainian refugee crisis has reconfigured attitudes and discourses about migrants, identities and shared history and culture. The contributions share a thematic interest and are methodologically similar, while at the same time reflecting researchers' distinctive interests and unique outlooks from their respective cultures. Classical approaches and analytical angles from migration and media studies are complemented with approaches stemming from the sociology of public problems, cultural studies, political psychology, and public diplomacy, broadening the methodological landscape of the field. At the same time, given the geographical, cultural and metaphorical closeness of the authors to their object of study, the book is uniquely positioned to launch problematizations on the validity of concepts and analytical stances employed in the analysis of the Ukrainian refugee crisis.

Like other countries in East Central Europe, the Slovak Republic is facing new challenges which were not on the horizon at the time the communist system collapsed and there are worries that this country, with the pro-Russian Prime Minister Robert Fico now at the helm, might be at risk of democratic backsliding. One of the key factors determining whether Slovakia will weather its current political difficulties or slide away from democracy is the strength of civic values such as tolerance, respect for the equality of people, and readiness to play by the rules of the political game. This book looks at the record of the Slovak Republic in the years since 1993, taking into consideration politics, values as reflected in public opinion surveys, gender inequality, and the values communicated in literature, religion, and film. In addition, the volume takes a look at ethnic minorities, focusing especially on Slovakia's Hungarian minority.

This book focuses on the incentives for armed conflict in the Great Lakes Region of Sub-Saharan Africa and its consequences, including social preferences and refugee integration. The contribution of this book is twofold. First, the book adds to the limited literature on incentives for engaging in armed conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa and the post-conflict recovery trajectory. Secondly, it provides evidence on likely forms of discrimination due to biases from social identity amongst refugees and hosts, which may affect refugee integration. The book is organized as follows: the first chapter is a general motivation and framing of the studies. The second chapter investigates the incentives and disincentives for engaging in armed conflicts in the Great Lakes Region (GLR). The GLR has a history of armed conflict, with some active armed conflicts in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which have affected the development of the region. The GLR is also characterized by criss-crossing hostilities, including governments supporting fellow incumbent governments to quell a rebellion or supporting rebel groups hostile to sitting governments. The region provides an excellent case study for understanding the incentives and disincentives for armed conflict, especially in SSA. The third and fourth chapters address a highly policy-relevant issue in the context of refugee-hosting and integration. Humanitarian efforts to manage refugees have emphasized the need for self-reliance and reintegration with the host communities. The chapters examine the potential discrimination and biases that hosting communities may harbor towards refugees and how these attitudes can impact land transactions. Refugees may face discrimination emerging from differences in social identity and characterization within and external to refugee settlements. The behavioral attitudes of hosts may also influence their willingness to engage in land transactions with refugees. Amidst costly, unsustainable approaches to land distribution to refugees by hosting governments, land arrangements that hinge on the hosting communities' behavioral attributes, such as trust and altruism, may offer lasting solutions. If fairness or social preferences are profound amongst refugees and hosting communities, land transactions between hosts and refugees might provide an alternative sustainable approach for refugees to acquire land. Ignoring positive behavioral attributes through government provision may crowd out such private provision. * Adds to the literature on incentives for armed conflict * Evidence on trajectory for post- conflict recovery

Voices of Liberty argues that Black revolutionaries' fight for freedom directly challenged the ideological architects of British imperialism, whose narratives of liberty endeavored to silence Black people by defining abolitionism as a white enterprise. The book privileges the voices of Black people who rejected both chattel bondage and colonial authority in their radical pursuit of emancipation. In recounting the context, progress, and consequences of enslaved rebellions across the West Indies, Latin America, and Africa in the nineteenth century, Lewis Eliot spotlights the human struggles at the intersection of abolitionist and imperialist ideologies in the Atlantic world.

The most extraordinary family you've never heard of. Born to Chinese immigrant parents, the Moy siblings grew up in an America that questioned their citizenship and denied their equality. Sophisticated and self-consciously modern, they challenged limitations and stereotypes in the United States and sought new opportunities in China's tumultuous republic. Sometimes the risks they took paid off, but their occasional recklessness also led to infidelity, divorce, bankruptcy, and worse. Those in China faced pressure to collaborate with Japanese occupiers, making choices that had serious consequences for their siblings in the United States. Charlotte Brooks's gripping tale follows the family back and forth across the Pacific and through two world wars, China's Nationalist and Communist revolutions, and the Cold War-events that the siblings and their spouses helped shape. The Moys' incredible story offers a kaleidoscopic view of an entire generation's struggle for acceptance and belonging.

ISBN 978-3-032-03760-2 hard ¥40,652.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book discusses the impact of international migrants and refugees in the Middle East in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on 3 main questions: What has the role of international migrants been in coping with Covid-19? How has this international health crisis affected international migrants and refugees? How has it affected socio-economic and political structures? The authors assess the relationship between healthcare, international migration and the pandemic through specific case-studies including: Tuerkiye, with reference to the case of Uzbek and Georgian migrant women, Tuerkiye with reference to Turkish citizens' attitudes towards Syrian refugees, Palestinian camps in Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and students' and immigrant professors' ethnographic experiences, the Arab Gulf countries and the Pakistan Medical Centre in Dubai, Arabia and the case-study of Oman, and Iran. The argument seeks to move beyond the idea of migrants as victims of the pandemic, and sheds light on the active role and agency of migrants to underline their substantive contribution to coping with the health crisis.

By the end of the nineteenth century, terms like "white slavery", "la traite des blanches" and "Maedchenhandel" had become linguistic equivalents to describe the (coerced) transnational migration of women and their subsequent sale of sex. This book explores the historical roots of this Eurocentric conceptualization, which since its development has fed into contemporary twenty-first-century understandings of "human trafficking, especially in women and children". In unpacking these origins, the books explores how populist narratives became entangled with state and organisational practices of categorising subalterns on the move. Contributing to the historiography, "white slavery" is shown to have been not only a component of a shifting legal dogma on mobility control and international police cooperation but also a political concern of women’s rights and moral reformist movements. Contrary to the sensationalized claims of the times, "white slavery" was not a phenomenon reflecting such exaggerations but rather was part of the historical development of state mechanisms to define the voluntary and coerced migration based on race and gender-based desirability.

ISBN 978-3-032-02465-7 hard ¥10,160.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book explores the impact of migration on economic growth and entrepreneurship in Sweden. By looking at economic and migration trends over the last centuries, it examines the sectors, industries, and geographical locations where entrepreneurship has taken place, the economic and social impact of entrepreneurship, and the specifics of migrant entrepreneurship. Trends within Sweden are compared with the rest of the world to assess the unique aspects of migrant entrepreneurship in Sweden and to see whether Swedish institutions positively impact economic growth. This book examines the history of migrant entrepreneurship to see if the challenges faced by modern migrants are new and to evaluate whether past successes can be used to overcome these challenges. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in the economics of migration, labour economics, and entrepreneurship.

How Jonathan Edwards's theology of equality laid foundations for early American abolitionism In this groundbreaking book, John T. Lowe reexamines Jonathan Edwards's legacy by focusing on the intersections among slavery, race, and theology. Connecting seemingly disparate aspects of Edwards's life and thought, Lowe offers a powerful new interpretation of one of America's most influential theologians. While Edwards was himself an enslaver, his theological writings-especially his concept of "civil-spiritual dualism"-provided impetus for some of his followers to embrace abolitionism. Through close analysis of sermons, letters, and personal writings, Lowe reveals the tensions and transformations within Edwards's thought. The theological, social, and political implications of this revivalist preacher's private and public ideas extended beyond New England and shaped debates across the early American republic. Benevolence and Bondage challenges familiar narratives about Edwardsean thought and the theological roots of the antislavery movement. Lowe clarifies Edwards's theological position and reframes how religious ideas both supported and disrupted slavery. Bridging history and theology, Lowe contributes significantly to the Edwards renaissance and confronts uncomfortable truths at the heart of the American colonial project.

A call for critical race reading as a step towards creating progressive and democratic politics. Critical race theory (CRT) has been singled out for banning in 49 US states and been subject to a flurry of legislative acts surveilling its teaching in all levels of education. Malini Schueller argues that this is fueled by a fear of racial solidarity. To combat this, this book argues for a practice of critical race reading and activism. Teaching in Florida, the epicenter and catalyst of these harsh rebukes of CRT, Schueller challenges students to awaken to questions of racial privilege and hierarchy not through comfortable racial identification but through racial reckoning. Complete with a syllabus that any reader can learn from, Teaching Solidarity models critical ways of reading for social justice.

This book tells the story of a remarkable enslaved person-turned-formerly enslaved man, Jordan Bankston Noble, a Black drummer in nineteenth-century American armies. This volume uses Noble's life to explore the evolution of nineteenth-century Louisiana race relations. Noble's life spanned 1800 to 1890, and his participation in four American wars-the War of 1812, Seminole War, Mexican-American War, and Civil War-places him among a very distinct group of participants. This book reveals how Noble brokered his wartime participation to secure recognition and admiration during this period in American history.

Immigration policy and enforcement practices in the United States now extend beyond the border to the country's interior, impacting the private lives of millions of undocumented and mixed-status families in new ways. Sanctuary Making traces this shift, showing how as enforcement has expanded and deepened, new "hot spots" have appeared across nontraditional sites such as neighborhoods, roads, worksites, hospitals, grocery stores, and homes. Undercurrents of fear, anxiety, and loss permeate the everyday lives of the families navigating these terrains of enforcement. Carolina Valdivia reveals the emotional and material labor of young adults that often underpins families' sanctuary-making efforts-strategies to shield against the worst outcomes of enforcement. Many young adults are compelled to take on parental responsibilities and serve as a primary source of emotional support for family members while also brokering legal processes tied to their family's immigration cases. How might policymakers, organizers, educators, and the wider community better support these sanctuary-making efforts?

It is not new, or radical, to suggest that 'race' is a social construct. The idea has been prominent in social, political and philosophical discourse for decades. The bold challenge put forward by Jon Ivan Gill is that this idea is just a halfway house - questioning the fixity of race while doing nothing to lessen the trauma caused by its continued presence as a category of human identity. Can we truly end racism before we dissolve the notion of race itself, and if we do then what are we left with?Showing the role that philosophy of religion has played in reifying ideas of race and racial categories, Gill looks beyond that legacy to a world after and beyond those ideas. With seemingly immutable notions of race still baked into our societies at the level of law and legislation, process philosophy can remind us that being, and how we define it, is dynamic and will change over time. If race as a category is impermanent, then it can be undone. Dispelling this 'powerful apparition' has deep-laced significance for contemporary society, from cancel culture and reparations to mixed race identity and the suppression of ethnicity and nationality. This is at once a keen dissection of colonial apparatus and a practical, creative vision for a new way of organizing ourselves.

This timely book examines three impactful changes to the labour market in recent decades: the rapid automation of production processes, surging international trade, and greater cross-border mobility and migration of workers. Expert authors assess how workers have benefited and suffered from these shifts and provide policymakers with recommendations on how to reduce inequality while securing economic benefits.Contributors analyse individual transformations and their interaction with the broader sociopolitical landscape, incorporating both macroeconomic and microeconomic perspectives. They use an interdisciplinary approach to explore the consequences of technological advancements on labour markets, such as automation, digital platforms and artificial intelligence. Chapters also address rising inequality and the divide between skilled and unskilled labour, and the uneven impacts of globalisation that prevent the diversification of economies. Ultimately, the book outlines the need for innovation and a restructuring of systems to ensure a resilient future where talent and skills are not squandered, and potential challenges can be successfully overcome.Technology, Globalisation and Migration is a vital read for scholars and students of economics and finance, innovation and technology, development studies, and sociology. Policymakers and practitioners working in labour market regulation will also benefit from its practical and theoretical insights.

This timely book examines the unique relationship between migration, labour, and social reproduction in light of current global crises. Leading experts outline how border processes, precarious welfare states, labour markets and gendered and racialised conventions influence the labour and social reproduction of migrant workers.Contributing authors present empirical findings from research conducted in a variety of contexts, exploring the struggles and opportunities of different groups of migrant workers: from female nurses in India to workers impacted by the dormitory regimes and remote platform work in Eastern and Southern Europe. They advocate for a more inclusive definition of reproductive labour, highlighting how states and employers manage mobility at work while foregrounding migrants' everyday strategies - both collective and individual - of survival, resistance, and care. Concluding with a postface written by eminent luminaries of the field, Sandro Mezzadra and Brett Neilson, this book demonstrates that social reproduction is critical to a transnational future of emancipation, liberation and social justice.Migration and Social Reproduction is a valuable resource for scholars and students in the field of social science, namely sociology, social policy, politics, migration studies, and race studies. The empirical research presented in this book will also be of great benefit to policy researchers and practitioners.
