Yilmaz, Ihsan / Kenes, Bulent, Hybrid Transnationalism and Repression: Turkey's Diaspora Under Authoritarian Islamist Siege. 319 pp. 2025:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-809>
ISBN 978-981-9506-68-2 hard ¥37,616.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book investigates how authoritarian regimes extend repression beyond borders by targeting diaspora communities. Focusing on the strategic fusion of soft, sharp, and hard power, it introduces the concept of hybrid transnationalism to explain Turkey's deployment of cultural diplomacy, religious outreach, surveillance, abductions, and legal manipulation-such as the misuse of Interpol Red Notices. These mechanisms are shown not as isolated acts but as part of a coherent strategy to suppress dissent, enforce ideological loyalty, and consolidate authoritarian rule transnationally. The book draws on rich empirical data, including institutional case studies and cross-border repression incidents, revealing how Turkish institutions like the Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) serve dual roles-facilitating cultural ties while enabling surveillance and community control. Situated within the broader landscape of global authoritarianism, the book offers comparative insights, highlighting shared tools of diaspora surveillance and the manipulation of international institutions. It emphasizes how Turkey's position within liberal internationalism allows it to exploit democratic norms and mechanisms while undermining them from within. Timely and theoretically innovative, the book contributes vital understanding of how authoritarianism becomes mobile, adaptive, and emotionally resonant in the 21st century. Readers will benefit from an in-depth understanding of how authoritarian regimes operate across borders and the vulnerabilities in global governance systems they exploit. This book is essential for scholars, policymakers, human rights advocates, and diaspora members seeking to understand and counter the challenges posed by transnational repression. It offers actionable insights into safeguarding democratic values, protecting vulnerable populations, and reforming international institutions. The book fills a critical gap in the literature on authoritarianism, diaspora studies, and international law, making it a timely and indispensable resource.

Gaertner, Marlene, Narrating Migration, Narrating Futures: Social Narratives on Global Power Dynamics in Cameroon and the Cameroonian Diaspora. (Literatur und Postmigration 2) 250 pp. 2025:10 (J. B. Metzler, GW) <756-815>
ISBN 978-3-662-72007-3 paper ¥21,314.- (税込) EUR 84.99

The book revolves around narrative as an intriguing, as well as intricate object of analysis and demonstrates how theoretically sound and empirically founded narrative research can look like. Migration is imbued, motivated, and shaped by imagination. Based on the everyday language around migration in Cameroon, the author is exploring social narratives about migration and their relationship with the global. Migration storytelling is a cultural force which speaks about people and their lives to the fullest: What they aspire to, the risks they take, and the stories they tell about all of it.

von Broemssen, Kerstin / Stretmo, Live (eds.), Rethinking Childhoods and Migrations: Multidisciplinary Understandings and Key Concepts. (Studies in Childhood and Youth) 289 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-928>
ISBN 978-3-031-97038-2 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This edited volume investigates the complexities of child refugees and migrants from a global perspective. With millions of young migrants and refugees worldwide, there is a need for novel understandings and conceptualizations of the impact of national policies affecting these children, as well as a thorough investigation of possible methodological dilemmas within research on and with migrant children and youth. This book addresses these in three parts. Part one examines the life experiences of child migrants and refugees with emphasis on how different forms of mobility shape them. Part two explores different contexts of education: How education directed at child migrants becomes organized, the specific educational needs that migrant children have, and the inclusion and possible exclusion of migrant children. Part three discusses and problematizes ethical dilemmas that research on and with migrant children and young people awakens. Foregrounding nuanced perspectives from the "Global South"-or the "world majority"-often ignored in traditional migration research, this book fills a crucial gap in childhood and youth studies as well as migration research.

Vadeboncoeur, Joshua D., Racing to Make Space: Black Fans in NASCAR's Fast Lane. 143 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-931>
ISBN 978-3-032-00681-3 hard ¥30,092.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book explores the often-overlooked experiences of Black NASCAR fans, challenging the sport's traditional image as a stronghold of Southern white conservatism. Through a narrative inquiry approach, the book examines how Black fans navigate and transform NASCAR's cultural and spatial landscapes. Divided into three sections, it delves into Black placemaking within NASCAR, the impact of pervasive whiteness in the sport's geographies, and offers practical recommendations for fostering greater inclusivity within NASCAR. The presence and influence of Black fans within this space have largely been ignored in academic discourse, media coverage, and the sport's own self-representation. This book seeks to address this significant gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive and in-depth examination of how Black fans engage with, navigate, and transform the cultural and spatial landscapes of NASCAR while providing actionable insights for creating more equitable and inclusive environments in American sports.

Healy, Catherine, Irish Domestic Servants in Transatlantic Culture, c. 1870-1945: Intimate Connections. 146 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-965>
ISBN 978-3-031-91245-0 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book provides the first major transatlantic history of Irish serving women, drawing on four years of archival research in Dublin, Belfast, New York, Boston, London and Liverpool. Domestic service was the largest source of employment for generations of women who left Ireland in the decades after the Great Famine. The perceived difficulty of managing Irish servants became a prominent feature of cultural discourse in the United States and England, where countless cartoons, editorials and literary works caricatured the figure of 'Bridget'. Irish maids and cooks were a canvas on which to project fears not only about Irish politics and immigration but also changing class and gender roles. Existing scholarship on the Irish experience of domestic service has typically focused on socio-economic conditions, but such approaches tend not to capture the complex ways in which Irish female immigrants were encountered both in private households and in wider society. Irish servants were framed through discourses that could involve nostalgia and guilt as well as amusement and disgust: more complex scripts, in general, than those used to describe Irish immigrant men. The period covered in the book allows for a diverse range of cultural sources - including romance novels and Hollywood films depicting working Irish women - to be examined, moving beyond the Victorian-era caricatures typically emphasised in earlier work on the Irish in domestic service.

ISBN 978-981-9502-56-1 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This volume chronicles migrant lives in Japan and the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, it focuses on the Japanese in the Philippines and the Filipinos in Japan, making it a valuable resource for those doing research on migrations between these two countries, and/or about migrations in Asia, in general. Analyzing data gathered through interviews, surveys, content analyses, and ethnographies, the authors meticulously present critical findings and narrate migrants' experiences of COVID-19. While the world has now eased back into a "state of normality," the significant societal changes that have occurred cannot be denied. Hence, the book argues that it is imperative for the public to be informed how various types of migrants have experienced the pandemic, leading them to explore innovative ways to adapt to conditions during this health crisis. The chapters in this volume are important in informing not only scholars studying migration, but also policy-makers, NGOs, and the general public, as to how non-citizens in these two countries have grappled with the challenges posed by the pandemic. It will also be a valuable resource for communities and governments around the world as they prepare for similar health crises in the near future.

Song, Changzoo, Acculturation of Korean New Zealander Youth: Re-Ethnicization of the Newer Generation. 174 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-775>
ISBN 978-981-9505-90-6 hard ¥7,520.- (税込) EUR 29.99

This open access book explores the acculturation, identity development, and cultural reconnection of newer-generation (1.5- and second-generation) Korean New Zealander youth who grew up in New Zealand after the 1990s. Based on in-depth interviews, it shows how many of them initially sought to assimilate into the dominant culture but later experienced a process of re-ethnicization, rediscovering their Korean heritage during adolescence and early adulthood. Chapters explore key themes such as cultural adaptation, ethnic identity, racism, co-ethnic friendships, and the role of digital media and the Korean Wave in fostering re-ethnicization. This book also situates these youth experiences within the broader contexts of New Zealand's multicultural policies, its bicultural foundation, multicultural frameworks and the global dynamics of diaspora and migration. Drawing on theories of segmented assimilation, transnationalism, and ethnic belonging, this book offers new insights into how young migrants navigate dual identities and negotiate belonging in an increasingly diverse and complex society for scholars and students in migration studies, sociology, diaspora studies, Asian studies and cultural studies.

Das, Ruchira, City, Marginality and Education: Tribal Migrants in Kolkata. (Exploring Urban Change in South Asia) 159 pp. 2025:11 (Springer, GW) <756-778>
ISBN 978-981-9508-90-7 hard ¥27,584.- (税込) EUR 109.99

This book examines the socially segregated Santals, a tribal community that migrated from various parts of Bengal and its neighbouring states of Bihar, Orissa, and Jharkhand to Kolkata, a city currently driven by capitalist-consumerist forces that pose a challenge in terms of the community's inclusion and accommodation. As residents of Kolkata for more than four decades, the Santal migrants have experienced multiple unique challenges in adapting to modern, urban life.The book maps the political economy of social change around the globe and in India to understand how such marginalised tribes have coped with attempts to assimilate. By pursuing an ethnographic account and exploring the lived realities of the Santals as they negotiate the socio-cultural world of the city, the book attempts to deconstruct notions of 'pristine' tribal cultures and the need to 'mainstream' tribes, thus conveying a sense of the multiple discourses on the tribal question emerging from within the tribal community. In turn, it critically addresses the tension concerning the theory-practice divide in researching marginality. Combining theoretical insights with empirical discussions and thematic analyses of the qualitative data, the book offers researchers, scholars, students, and policymakers an interesting read on marginality in the context of globalizing urban spaces.

De Bel-Air, Francoise / Shah, Nasra M. (eds.), The Future of Migration to GCC Countries: Migrants' Aspirations, Labour Reforms, and Politics. (International Perspectives on Migration) 410 pp. 2025:11 (Springer, GW) <756-234>
ISBN 978-981-9699-27-8 hard ¥35,108.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book provides an in-depth exploration of the evolving trends in South-South international migration to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It presents a comprehensive analysis of migration dynamics from the perspectives of nationals, non-nationals, policymakers, and prospective migrants. It highlights the multifaceted factors driving migration to the Gulf, including the transition from oil-dependent economies to knowledge-based industries and the shift from a reliance on low-wage migrant workers to the integration of highly skilled expatriates. It emphasizes the Gulf states as strategic destinations for the Arab and Asian middle classes, shaped by global dynamics such as the gig economy, cultural compatibility, and socio-economic instability in migrants' countries of origin. Furthermore, the book offers a critical assessment of migration policies, focusing particularly on the inadequacies in safeguarding low-paid migrants, while challenging the prevailing notion that migration to the Gulf is temporary and primarily economically driven. Through an examination of new employment patterns, migration flows, and concepts of transnationalism, the book interrogates the future trajectories of Gulf societies. It is an indispensable resource for scholars interested in the region's transitions and future prospects.

人種主義の政治経済－アメリカにおけるアンチ・ブラックネスの持続
Holder, Michelle / Wicks-Lim, Jeannette, The Political Economy of Racism: The Persistence of Anti-Blackness in the United States. 272 pp. 2025:12 (Polity Pr., UK) <756-127>

Why does racial inequality in America persist? In this important textbook, Michelle Holder and Jeannette Wicks-Lim answer this question by introducing readers to the innovative field of stratification economics.Stratification economics offers an antidote to conventional economics' hyper-focus on individuals and disregard for how politics shapes the economy. It spotlights how groups - such as racial groups - compete to gain favorable positions in society, including through political and economic domination. The book fuses stratification economics with intersectional theory to illuminate the influence of gender and ethnicity on how racial oppression operates. Drawing on history and empirical data, Holder and Wicks-Lim argue that anti-Black racism developed and persists because it protects the interests of a politically dominant social group: White Americans. This argument is demonstrated across the arenas of education, employment, wealth, and the criminal legal system. Policy intervention - through government action spurred by social movements - is necessary for achieving racial equity within the economy and beyond.The first introductory textbook of its kind, The Political Economy of Racism is an essential resource for students and scholars.

ISBN 978-981-9667-46-8 hard ¥28,838.- (税込) EUR 114.99

In this edited volume, leading scholars and experts explore the extraordinary potential of diaspora communities in driving economic growth, shaping foreign policies and fostering global connections with India's approach, offering a compelling case study. In an increasingly interconnected world, diasporas have emerged as powerful agents of change. This book delves deep into this phenomenon, and analyses how diasporic communities can become dynamic catalysts for development. It spans eleven insightful chapters, from India's strategic outreach to its global diaspora, to in-depth case studies of Indian communities in South Africa, the Gulf, Reunion Island, and Fiji. It goes further to examine unique models of diasporic engagement from around the world-such as the 3x1 Program of the Mexican diaspora in the U.S., the activism of the Hindu American Foundation, and the understated yet impactful Malagasy diaspora. With comparative insights from the Philippines' private sector engagement and Ethiopia's diaspora policies, this book unpacks the complex interplay between migration, identity, and development. Comparing India's journey with other global examples, this book offers crucial insights for policymakers, scholars, and development professionals. It serves as a practical guide for democratic nations with market economies seeking to tap into the immense potential of their own diasporic networks.

Their names are Mohamed, Samira, sometimes Matthieu or Sophie. They were born and bred in many parts of France and are highly qualified, but they have decided to go and live in London, New York, Montreal, Brussels, Geneva or Dubai. Many were discriminated against on the French job market, or stigmatised because they have the wrong religion or wrong-sounding names. Whether devout Muslims or not, they felt unloved and unwanted in France, and they find outside of France a sense of peace and fulfilment their native country would not give them. Outside of France they enjoy a 'right to indifference' they just couldn't find in their native country. This book, based on original research, sheds new light on the silent, never-talked-about flight abroad of French Muslims. It unpacks their motivations, their experiences in France and abroad, and their sense of Frenchness, fraught with bitterness as well as with gratitude. This book isn't just about an unreported brain-drain: it is also about the deleterious effects of Islamophobia in a country that balks at using the very concept. And it is about an urgent challenge that most countries with Muslim minorities need to confront.

Green, Sharony, Voices from a Black Miami Neighborhood: The Baa Haas, Liberty City, the Grove, and Beyond. (Palgrave Studies in Oral History) 136 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-1024>
ISBN 978-3-032-01825-0 hard ¥10,028.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This Palgrave Pivot is a personal and universal history of gain and loss. Via memoir and oral histories, Sharony Green, a native of Miami with ancestral roots in the American South and the Bahamas, sheds light on ups and down of African American residents before and after the Second World War. The author uses the 'Baa Haas,' an outlying community in Miami-Dade County, a region that is also a gateway to Caribbean and Latin America, as a starting place to think through such things. As early as the New Deal era, white powerbrokers desired to relocate people of African descent from the lucrative waterfronts to a desolate and sandy area about twenty miles northwest of Miami's downtown. This community was later nicknamed the 'Baa Haas,' presumably because its nearby prehistoric beach resembled California's Bajas beaches. Whether spelled Baa Haas, Bajas or Bahas, the tiny neighborhood, whose biggest landmark nowadays is Hard Rock Stadium, is noteworthy. It was not until whites themselves settled there first, beginning in the fifties with the help of the 1944 GI bill, that people of African descent, aided by the Fair Housing Act of 1968, at last moved there. Some arrived from older Miami communities like Liberty City, Overtown and Coconut Grove or even elsewhere in the States. Essentially, two federal initiatives collided with positive gains for the oppressed. As people increasingly find themselves displaced owing to gentrification, this book permits an opportunity for readers to see what had been possible for prospective black homeowners.

Mahali, Alude / Tate, Shirley Anne (eds.), Dialogues on Decolonizing the University: Racialized Gender Transnational Learning. (Mapping Global Racisms) 224 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-1029>
ISBN 978-3-031-94450-5 hard ¥32,600.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book offers a transnational exploration of the role gender and race intersectionality plays in decolonization efforts within universities. Engaging with local contexts from across the globe, each chapter examines decolonization, racialization, and gender(ization) in relation to higher education, highlighting the complexities, contradictions, and contestations of these processes. Through interdisciplinary perspectives, the collection frames decolonization as a global project, emphasizing its ongoing intersections with race, gender, and coloniality. The book brings together early career and established scholars from diverse regions, including Latin America, Africa, Europe, and North America, alongside activist knowledge production. It explores how decolonization must account for racialized gender, addressing knowledge, policy, methodology, and practice interventions. The contributors challenge fixed notions of what decolonization and racialized gender mean, arguing that these concepts continue to evolve in both theory and practice. This book will be of interest to scholars and activists working in the fields of decolonization, gender studies, race theory, higher education, and social justice, as well as anyone interested in how race and gender intersect in global movements for institutional change.

なぜ移民政策が困難か－そしてそれを改善する方法
Manning, Alan, Why Immigration Policy Is Hard: And How to Make It Better. 300 pp. 2025:11 (Polity Pr., UK) <756-1030>

Immigration policy will never satisfy everyone. It's a stubborn fact that more people will want to move to high-income countries than residents will want to admit. But, as Alan Manning - former head of Britain's Migration Advisory Committee - makes clear, that doesn't mean we can't do much better. We should start, Manning says, by ditching simplistic views that frame immigration as either wholly good or wholly bad. We will always have and need some level of immigration. But, just as inevitably, we will have rules on who can and cannot immigrate. To set those rules we need reliable evidence to navigate among the often-competing claims of the economy, culture, justice, and democracy. Manning supplies such evidence in abundance, guiding us through cutting-edge international research on key questions, including the effects of immigration on people's lives, their jobs and incomes, taxes and public services, and their communities. Why Immigration Policy Is Hard is an indispensable resource for informed debate on one of the most charged subjects in public life today.

Reece, Robert L., The Shades of Black Folk: Colorism Past, Present, and Future. 176 pp. 2025:12 (Polity Pr., UK) <756-1033>

Colorism - discrimination based on skin darkness within a racial group - has plagued Black Americans since their first arrival in this country. Although colorism has taken different forms over time, lighter-skinned Black people have always received advantages at the expense of their darker-skinned counterparts, and colorism is a problem that fosters ongoing social inequality to this day.The Shades of Black Folk traces the development and evolution of colorism in the US from its origins in the late eighteenth century right up to the present. It chronicles the phenomenon's various manifestations, from nineteenth-century debates about the fate of children born to parents of different races, through the contentious arguments between famed Black activists Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. DuBois, to the modern legal battles where judges struggle to adjudicate color discrimination cases. Recognizing that this issue is made more complicated by rarely being discussed in conversations about race and racial discrimination, Reece calls on readers to grapple with the complexities of color-based inequality and offers policy suggestions to tackle it.The Shades of Black Folk sheds light on an underexamined but all-too-powerful axis of social inequality and will be necessary reading for students of race, racism, and stratification.

Rogoveanu, Raluca-Nicoleta, Romanian Ethnic Organizations in the United States: Heritage, Legacy and Identity in the Early 20th Century. 149 pp. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-1034>
ISBN 978-3-032-03506-6 hard ¥22,568.- (税込) EUR 89.99

This monograph brings into focus the presence and voices of Romanian-Americans in the United States by examining the role of voluntary associations in shaping identity and community life during the first four decades of the 20th century. It offers a comprehensive analysis of Romanian ethnic organizations in their diverse forms-fraternal and mutual aid societies, political clubs, cultural associations, ladies' auxiliaries and youth groups-and describes them as crucibles of the Romanian immigrant experience in the New World. The book argues that ethnic associations served as effervescent spaces of cultural interaction, which enabled members to affirm both their loyalty to Romania and their commitment to American life. Grounded in original research based on primary sources from libraries and historical societies-many of which have not been previously examined in scholarly work-this book will be of interest to scholars in the areas of Ethnic Studies, Diaspora Studies, Cultural Studies and Anthropology.

"As a man of color, our image and reputation is everything. I have always kept my personal life and my private life separately. However, when I transitioned into higher education, I saw men who walked like me, talked like me, but also lived their truth in secret like me. It wasn't until I attended a higher education conference where I met this amazing Black man and he told me these words. No matter what you do in this life to thy own self always be true. You have one life, so live it and live it unapologetically. From that moment on, I begin to live my truth. One thing that I have learned is that people will not always respect your choices of how you live your life, however they will respect how you carry yourself when you live the life that you live in a positive light. So today, I am living my life mentoring, coaching, and inspiring the next generation of same gender-living males, because you only have one life to live and you can have it all. Success, love, truth, respect, but most importantly a life free from shame and guilt of denying who you are." -Desmond Dunklin "One experience that helped shape my identity as a Black, same-gender-loving male was during the height of the pandemic and quarantining. At that time, everyone was stuck inside, while also seeking community outside of our own minds. I was able to find community and curate a space on the audio app, "Clubhouse". I came together with a group of talented Black Queer men to create the group, "Black Gay Men Chat"! On the app, we were able to educate and highlight the lived experiences of Black SGL men across the world. I tapped into my creativity and my voice in so many ways, by producing multiple projects such as: a talent show through the "Black & Gay" group, a seductive improv audio show, "The Art of Seduction", a shoot your shot show "The Black Gay Bachelor", a book club called "Reading Rainbow", and facilitating/moderating multiple conversations across the platform (crystal meth in the Black Queer community, Black Gay Fatherhood, Dating Red Flags, etc). This experience shaped my identity because I was able to share/facilitate a space with individuals that were able to challenge me and validate my lived experiences, while bringing new perspectives to the conversations. Our group currently has 7,000+ members and showed me the power and influence that we have as Black Queer people when we come together. I recognize that at times society will not accept us fully which was evident in heterosexual spaces on the app where the expectation was for us to show-up "Black first", but we are full people, and we deserve to share and take up all the space we desire, while standing in all that we are. This experience was empowering, inspiring, and made me feel seen holistically." -Sean Rice, Jr. "As a Black gay male, this project holds personal significance for me, providing a rare space to openly communicate, share, and embrace Black, gay, male experiences within higher education. Each section unfolds as an individual narrative, emphasizing the importance of every unique story." -Antione D. Tomlin, PhD

Huey P. Newton was called many things in his time: revolutionary, genius, criminal, even the most surveilled human being in world history. Yet, little is known about him still because of persistent distortions to his name and legacy as co-founder of the Black Panther Party.In this new and much-needed intellectual biography, political theorist Delio Vasquez establishes Newton as a true and original philosopher. Newton's compassion for the suffering of the people of the streets led him to develop innovative theories for how the most oppressed could spearhead revolutionary change against rising technocracy through communal defense of loving communities. The Panthers forged alliances with Black student unions and street gangs, Hollywood elites and poor whites, the gay liberation movement and Third World nations.Newton left behind dozens of unpublished manuscripts analyzing anthropology, politics, feminist thought, education, philosophy, evolutionary biology, and theology - ideas presented here for the first time. Vasquez also puts into proper perspective Newton's late descent into addiction and madness, a direct effect of U.S. government techniques of war that targeted his mind, body, and soul in ways that are still all too relevant. Today, Newton's maxim "I am we," resounds more than ever.

Watkins, Mary, White Work and Reparative Genealogy: Reckoning with Ancestral Debt as a Path to Racial Reparations. 362 pp. 2025:9 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-1040>

What does it mean to reckon with a legacy of white supremacy? White Work and Reparative Genealogy invites white-identifying readers on a courageous journey into the heart of ancestral memory, historical accountability, and racial repair. Clinical psychologist Mary Watkins traces her family's lineage from 1607 Jamestown through generations of slave ownership and racial violence in the American South. Blending personal narrative, historical research, and psychological insight, Watkins models a practice of "white work"-a form of reparative genealogy that confronts the silences and distortions in white family histories. With reflective questions at the end of each chapter, this book offers practical tools for readers ready to explore their own histories and take action toward racial justice. This is a book for those who seek to move through guilt and shame-not around them-toward healing, solidarity, and shared liberation.

Escape the Cape, From Existing to Evolving: Amplifying Voices of Black and Brown Women in the Mental Health Profession examines the narratives of Black and Brown women all over the world who adherently take on the Superwoman Persona. The imaginative armor of a cape contributes to the normalcy of trying to "do it all" for others while neglecting the self. The book amplifies the voices of Black and Brown women in the mental health and academia professions who needed a healthy outlet to shed light on their experiences. This book stems from an asset-based approach where chapter authors highlight the ebbs and flows they experienced in the workplace due to having melanated skin and/or identifying as Black and Brown. So many Black and Brown women have suffered in silence because of exploitive workplace politics and practices and haven't felt safe, valued, or heard; the "need" of Black and Brown women became greater than their humanity. Escape the Cape, From Existing to Evolving is a call to action. It contributes to elevating scholarly conversations for employers who are seeking strategies in promoting equity in the workplace.

Banerjee, Bidisha / Misrahi-Barak, J. / Lacroix, T. (eds.), Thanatic Ethics: The Circulation of Bodies in Migratory Spaces. 223 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-88>

This book emerges from Thanatic Ethics: The Circulation of Bodies in Migratory Spaces, an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary project uniting social scientists, postcolonial scholars, and artists worldwide to raise critical issues related to the death of migrants. It urgently calls for migration studies to confront the consequences of Western governments' restrictive and necropolitical migration policies.The volume introduces thanatic ethics as a moral compass-a code of conduct that re-endows migrant deaths with meaning, ensuring they are remembered and mourned. Through diverse perspectives, contributors examine how social practices, political mobilizations, and artistic and literary representations can serve dual purposes: memorializing the dead while changing the gaze of the living on the unidentified dead. Enhancing awareness in the wider community could lead to the overturning of current migration policies.Thoughtfully organized into four sections, the book first explores how oceanic waters have been constructed as bordering agents-spaces of exclusion and death. The second section focuses on the politics of death, burial, and mourning, while the third confronts the fraught questions inherent to visualizing the Thanatic. The concluding section, "Requiem: Respect, Restitution, Repair," advances essential conversations about care, repair, and restitution.This essential text speaks to a diverse audience including scholars and students in migration studies, postcolonial studies, human rights, ethics, cultural studies, literature, and political science. It will also prove valuable for policymakers, human rights advocates, artists, and anyone concerned with the multi-layered aspects of migration. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies.

Challenges the assumptions made over the medieval/modern divide by examining the medieval roots of modern racismHumanists have long insisted on a chasm separating modernity and the Middle Ages. In Bad Medievalism and the Modernity Problem, Kathy Lavezzo demonstrates how the temporal divide scholars typically accept is a fiction that has shaped racial discourse over a longue duree. The hard line drawn between "then" and "now" is of a piece with the line separating whiteness from humans deemed irrevocably other. Thus, Lavezzo advocates a "bad" - that is, depressing and disturbing, even nauseating - historicism attuned to the interpenetration of race, whiteness and periodicity in the "west." Teasing out the dialectical invocation of both periods by figures as diverse as W. E. B. Du Bois, Carolyn Bynum, Stuart Hall, Johan Huizinga, Paule Marshall, Karl Marx, Gloria Naylor, J. R. R. Tolkien and Sylvia Wynter, Lavezzo demonstrates how the tension between and across categories of the "medieval" and the "modern" has mobilized intense emotional and political responses. Inspired by Lavezzo's discovery that Hall, the beloved founder of cultural studies, planned as a student at Oxford to become a medievalist, but was dissuaded from that path by his teacher Tolkien, Bad Medievalism unpacks the implications of that charged encounter. Central chapters contrast Tolkien's white heritage medievalism with a speculative inquiry into the Piers Plowman dissertation that Hall never wrote. Other chapters assess the white "feel" of periodization by scholars including Jacob Burckhardt, Huizinga, Fredric Jameson, and Bynum, and draw on theorists including Du Bois and Wynter to chart the medieval roots of a racialized discourse of progress and primitivism. Bad Medievalism culminates in new readings of Gloria Naylor's Bailey's Cafe and Paule Marshall's The Fisher King, demonstrating their importance as productively pessimistic engagements with the racial legacies of both the medieval and the modern.

ISBN 978-1-041-12417-7 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book investigates the complex factors that drive migration, barriers to regular channel migration and regularisation, and difficulties in accessing healthcare services in Southeast Asia. Taking Myanmar's irregular migrant workers in Thailand as a case study, it seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the complex factors that drive migration in Southeast Asia by exploring economic, political, and social push factors. It then moves to examine the multifaceted barriers that hinder regular channel migration to Thailand, including financial hardships, lengthy procedures, multifaceted difficulties in obtaining passports and paperwork, the influence of social networks and informal brokers, government official corruption, and exploitation by agencies targeting prospective migrant workers. It sets itself above the existing literature by adopting a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, combining rigorous research, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, and firsthand accounts of both migrant workers themselves, and numerous other stakeholders throughout the process. This socio-ecological perspective allows for a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by migrant workers to be developed, and to inform practical recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and advocates. As such, it offers a vital resource for researchers, policymakers, NGO workers, and advocates striving to create a more equitable society, and with interests in migration, Southeast Asia, healthcare and social policy.

It analyses the causes of the emergence of the ethnic tensions in Pakistan since its inception and their likely course in the future. It demonstrates how the lack of proper representation from different ethnic groups in the decision-making processes of the country has had catastrophic consequences in the nation's past and present.The book will be highly valuable to scholars, researchers and students of International Relations, Pakistan Studies, Defence Studies, South Asian Politics, and the Ethnic Studies, who are interested in the complexities of Pakistan' ethnic problems.

Sefer, Akin, Ottoman Reform at Work: Class, Migration, and Coercion in the Imperial Arsenal. 300 pp. 2026:2 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <755-835>
ISBN 978-1-009-67407-2 hard ¥27,692.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

During the nineteenth century, Ottoman sultans and bureaucrats engaged in a series of reforms that dramatically transformed the Ottoman state and society. But what did these reforms mean for the working classes in the Empire? In this study, Akin Sefer focuses on a single naval worksite, The Imperial Arsenal on the Golden Horn in Istanbul, to explore how reform processes were entangled with global capitalism. The Arsenal was a nexus where the global transformations of capitalism and Ottoman reform policies converged with the traditional and modern processes of labor coercion and migration. Drawing on an in-depth exploration of archival sources, Sefer traces the complicated relations between the working classes and the Ottoman state within this worksite and the neighbourhoods around it in Istanbul. Engaging with a wide array of scholarship in Ottoman and global history, this study brings new perspectives and questions on Ottoman modernity, highlighting the agency of working classes in both Ottoman and global history.

This critical text proposes new ways of conceptualizing Black womanhood by challenging plantation patriarchal culture, its binary constructions, and methods of Black heterosexual coupling. Black Women's performances of womanhood are understood from juxtapositions with white idealism resulting in Black womanhood explained negatively or for what it is not, rather than positively and expansively as what it is and could be.This book contextualizes Black womanhood as it was shaped by historical experiences of plantation, trauma, survival, and most importantly, triumph. Myrie Obi expands upon her theory of butch heterosexuality, which identifies elements of gender presentation commonly marked as masculine. Using Jack Halberstam's essential work of queer theory, "Female Masculinity", as a jumping off point, Myrie Obi uses the Commonwealth Caribbean as a site of new inquiry. Butch heterosexuality challenges the patriarchal gender binary and encourages an understanding of sexuality and gender performance as distinct, arguing against a conflation of female masculinity and lesbianism. The result is an alternative way to start conversations about decolonial approaches to understanding (Caribbean) Black women, Black sexuality and Black gender performances.The book is critical reading for scholar activists and students in the areas of Black Studies or Caribbean Studies, Black Sexualities and Gender Studies, sociology, social work, politics, gender justice and social justice courses.

Winner, 2024 Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Publication Award for a Manuscript in Italian Literary Studies, Modern Languages Association Introduces a way to study migration that privileges literary analysis over and against sociological data and insists on the importance of culture in the production of political identities This book argues that Italians first became racialized as white in Sao Paulo, Brazil, at the turn of the twentieth century. Whereas Italians in the United States struggled with xenophobia and were often not fully acknowledged as white, in Sao Paulo, due to a series of social, economic, and cultural factors, Italians became closely associated with ideas of whiteness, modernization, and civilization. This book brings to light how the overlooked experiences of Italians in Brazil complicate conventional narratives about the racial ambiguity and oppression of Italians in the Americas, on the one hand, and the conflation of Italians with cultural and economic backwardness in Europe, on the other. In the book, close readings of a wide array of texts-the travel writings of Gina Lombroso Ferrero, the short stories of Antonio de Alcantara Machado, the columns of Jose Correia Leite, the political essays of Miguel Reale, and the memoirs of Zelia Gattai-trace a "New World Italian discourse," or the overlapping narratives about Italian racial, economic, and cultural superiority which constructed and maintained Italians' status as a model minority in Sao Paulo. These discursive practices represent essential antecedents to the racial nationalism that reared its ugly head in Italy throughout the twentieth century and remain central to contemporary debates about national identity in the Italian public sphere. The Italian Colony of Sao Paulo: Race, Class, and Cultural Capital in Brazil is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.

Enslaved New World illuminates sixteenth-century Santo Domingo as the site of the Americas' earliest plantation and slave society, and where a collective White identity emerged. Yet Santo Domingo was also home, Turits shows, to widespread continual flight from bondage and an ecology providing relatively easy refuge. This transformed the colony into a land in which predominantly self-emancipated Black people became the largest population group by the late seventeenth century, 150 years before slavery's abolition. Afterwards, slavery and legal racial hierarchy persisted, but the White elite often remained too poor and weak to overcome resistance and competing constructs of status and color emerged. By focusing on Santo Domingo's understudied African-descended majority population within novel frameworks, Turits opens up new understandings of Dominican history, slavery's racialization, race and racism's historical contingency, and an extraordinary Afro-American trajectory of resistance.

The book offers new insights for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the interconnected history of human rights struggles across the African diaspora. By illuminating King's Pan-African engagements, Beyond Borders provides a more complete understanding of his enduring legacy as a champion for global racial equality.

The discourse, scholarship, and practice of transitional justice have become pivotal to addressing historical systematic injustices. However, until recently, the field has largely overlooked some of the most enduring and pervasive injustices of human history: racism and the colonialism and slave-trade that both reflected and fuelled it. Race and Transitional Justice examines how race and racism interact with transitional justice mechanisms and institutions to question why this is the case, and how it could be different. Bringing together diverse perspectives to examine the historical and socio-political contexts of transitional justice, this book argues that the field remains largely inattentive to the role of race. As a result, transitional justice institutions may be sustaining the very racialization that they are expected to remedy. The contributions offer a range of responses. Some call to abandon the whole field, citing its complicity in the indefinite maintenance of settler hegemony. Others consider transitional justice an essential space to work towards a more just, non-racist, social order. The result is a sensitive reflection into emancipatory transitional justice futures.

This Element, about historical practice and genetics, seeks to understand what is at stake in presenting, preserving, and articulating the past in the present. Historical practice is both conceptual and material, a consonance of approach which is reflected in the innovative and non-traditional format of the Element itself - not simply in its length, but its constitution. The Element was created collaboratively with contributions from a range of disciplines, backgrounds, and areas of professional expertise. It consists of a series of interventions which are then discussed by the contributors and is foundationally multi-voiced and discursive. The Element attempts to be non-extractive, ethical, inclusive, collaborative, and constantly ongoing and provisional in its representation. The Element strives to contribute to ongoing attempts to rethink, reconfigure, reassess, and entirely change the object of study and the practice of history.

Dozier, Curtis, The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate. 288 pp. 2026:2 (Yale U. Pr., US) <755-632>
ISBN 978-0-300-27273-4 hard ¥6,935.- (税込) US$ 32.50

How white nationalist thought leaders use ancient Greece and Rome to claim historical precedent for their violent and oppressive politics It is difficult to ignore the resurgence of white nationalist movements in the United States, many of which employ symbols and slogans from Greco-Roman antiquity. A long-established neo-Nazi website incorporates an image of the Parthenon into its logo, and rioters wore Spartan helmets in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. These juxtapositions may appear incongruous to people who associate the ancient world with enlightened political ideals and sophisticated philosophical inquiry. But, as Curtis Dozier points out in this thought-provoking book, it's hard to imagine a historical period better suited to rhetorical use by white nationalists. Indeed, some of the most widely admired voices from ancient literature and philosophy endorsed ideas that modern white supremacists promote, and the social and political realities of the ancient world provide models for political systems that white supremacists would like to establish today. Part introduction to contemporary white nationalist thought, part exploration of ancient racism and xenophobia, and part intellectual history of the political entanglements of academic study of the past, this book reveals that contemporary white nationalist intellectuals know much more about history than many people assume-and they deploy this knowledge with disturbing success.

This book challenges conventional wisdom about labor migration during the Cold War era, revealing a complex landscape of mobility that transcended the supposed rigid boundaries between socialist and capitalist worlds.Drawing on rich case studies from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Yugoslavia, the contributors demonstrate how the Cold War's unique socioeconomic and political context fostered unexpected experimentation and adaptation in labor mobility policies and practices. Rather than a simple story of restriction versus freedom, this collection reveals how institutional actors across both blocs functioned as agents of globalization, navigating a terrain where competition and collaboration often coexisted.By examining labor migration as both lived experience and state- regulated phenomenon, this volume makes a vital contribution to our understanding of how Cold War rivalries shaped human mobility within and across ideological divides. The research presented here underscores the importance of integrating both Western and non- Western perspectives when assessing the history and enduring legacy of international labor migration during this pivotal period. This book is an essential resource for scholars of migration studies, Cold War history, labor economics, and global politics.The chapters in this book were originally published in Labor History.

Exploring the relationship between (should be among) BLACKS, religion and the environment, this book examines how African Americans have understood and related to the environment throughout their history.Traveling from the earliest Christianity in ancient Africa through to the height of the black environmental liberation theology movement for environmental justice in the 20th century, this book presents how BLACKS have connected with the environment through both African-influenced spirituality and Christian doctrine, making their experiences and understanding of the environment distinctive and unique.Drawing on passages from scripture as well as explorations of the BLACK experience(s) from Nat Turner, Harriet Jacobs, Toni Morrison, and Wangari Maathai, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of BLACKS and environmental history and religion.

The book provides a historical analysis of how India and the Sikh community have been situated within the international relations policies of the UK and France. It focuses on the turban campaigns, legal challenges, and lived experiences of Sikhs in both nations, offering new insights into diaspora identity, state policy, and integration.The book features first-hand interviews, case studies, and legal documentation, as well as historical newspaper archives that illuminate the Sikhs' struggle for recognition. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of the differing legal and cultural landscapes that shape the lives of Sikhs in the UK-where exemptions have enabled them to freely express their religion-and France, where strict secularism curtails, or banishes it. These contrasts reveal how national set-ups exercise control over and impact identity, cohesion, and civil rights, equipping readers with nuanced knowledge of migration, religious freedom, and international law.A comparative study of the Sikh diaspora, the book will be essential reading for scholars and students of Sikh studies, British and French history, law, sociology, international relations, and migration or diaspora studies. It will also appeal to policy makers and activists interested in multiculturalism and human rights.

A centennial celebration of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and its vital role in the development of Black Studies In 1926, the Afro-Puerto Rican bibliophile Arturo Schomburg's collection of four thousand books, pamphlets, papers, and prints arrived at the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library. The collection contained works in many languages and formats, offering an unparalleled look into the richness and global reach of Black history. One hundred years later, Schomburg's collection remains a central feature of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, now the world's premier archive for study of the African diaspora, housing more than 11 million items, and a vibrant site of Black intellectual life. This volume not only contextualizes the life and work of Schomburg and chronicles the history of the institution that bears his name but also includes a list of books and pamphlets in Schomburg's initial "seed collection," the fruit of a multiyear research effort to reconstruct this early Black Studies archive. Framing this list are essays and reflections written by an interdisciplinary group of scholars on the development of the Black intellectual tradition, both in Schomburg's time and today.

The aim of this Element is to explore borders in ancient Egypt - both the territorial and ideological boundaries of the state as well as the divisions such lines draw between 'Egyptians' and 'Others.' Despite the traditional understanding of ancient Egypt as an insular society isolated by its borders, many foreigners settled in Egypt over the course of the longue duree, significantly impacting its culture. After examining the applicability of territorial state borders to the ancient world, the boundaries of ancient Egypt are investigated, questioning how they were defined, when, and by whom. Then a framework is presented for considering the reflexive ontological relationship between borders and immigrants, grappling with how identity is affected by elements like geography, the state, and locality. Finally, case studies are presented that critically examine ancient Egypt's northern, eastern, western and southern 'borders' and the people who crossed them.

Revealing Britain's Systemic Racism applies an existing scholarly paradigm (systemic racism and the white racial frame) to assess the implications of the Duchess of Sussex's entry and place in the British royal family, including an analysis that bears on visual and material culture. The white racial frame, as it manifests in the UK, represents an important lens through which to map and examine contemporary racism and related inequities. By questioning the long-held, but largely anecdotal, beliefs about racial progressiveness in the UK, the authors provide an original counter-narrative about how Meghan's experiences as a biracial member of the royal family help illumine contemporary forms of racism in Britain. Revealing Britain's Systemic Racism identifies and documents the plethora of ways systemic racism continues to shape ecological spaces in the UK. Kimberley Ducey and Joe R. Feagin challenge romanticized notions of racial inclusivity by applying Feagin's long-established theoretical work, aiming to make a unique and significant contribution to literature in sociology and in various other disciplines.The second edition of this book continues and updates the saga of Meghan's experiences, underscoring the myriad ways systemic racism continues to shape spaces in the UK, detailing how most white Britons continue to cling to colorblind myths about their democratic country as the mainstream British media denies the extensive racism that people face.

The extraordinary testimony of a daring Caribbean writer-activist, determined to expose injustice and defend the dignity of migrant workers In the 1960s, hundreds of women traveled from French colonies in the West Indies to become domestic workers for white families in France. Recruited by the French government with the promise of economic opportunity, these women instead found themselves subjected to racial discrimination, deplorable living conditions, overwork, and no pay until they "earned back" the cost of the trip to France. After hearing the shocking stories of Caribbean domestic workers, Francoise Ega took a position as a cleaning woman in a wealthy French home in order to chronicle these abuses. Structured as a collection of unsent letters to the Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, Notes to a Black Woman weaves Ega's experiences with memories of her childhood in Martinique, the joys and tribulations of family life, and her reflections on the power of the written word to reveal the discomfiting truths behind the facade of bourgeois French society. Composed on her bus commutes and by candlelight at her kitchen table while her five children slept, these pages comprise one of the most moving literary witnesses to female exploitation and racism in the twentieth century. From a singular and unforgettable voice, Notes to a Black Woman is a piercing denunciation of the legacies of colonialism and slavery, a wholesale rejection of alienation, and an intimate archive of friendship, joy, solidarity, motherhood, and hope.
