In the early twentieth century, African Americans created an agricultural community in northern Baja California, Mexico, which they called Little Liberia. As a transborder activist community, the people of Little Liberia sought to counter the forces of White supremacy in North America, primarily by building a stable financial and political foundation for African Americans. The story of this community, told in full for the first time in Little Liberia: A Dream of Black Freedom in the US-Mexico Borderlands, is one of Black innovation and cross-cultural enterprise at a time of racial persecution and political turbulence-a little known but instructive chapter in the intersecting history of Black America and the borderlands of the Southwest.

Organized by African American businessmen chiefly from California and Oklahoma, Little Liberia began as the Lower California Mexican Land Development Company, which strove to build African American economic power through agricultural production outside the nation's borders. Its sister organization, the International Community Welfare League, dedicated itself to fighting the spread of White supremacy by unifying African Americans, Indigenous peoples, and people of Mexican descent. Laura Hooton describes how these entities jointly navigated US-Mexico politics during World War I and the Mexican Revolution, including issues of land ownership, immigration, race and ethnicity, and imperialism and colonialism. Her book traces the community's shifting business focus, geographic scope, and membership over its eleven-year history-its formation in Los Angeles, recruitment in Oklahoma after the Tulsa Race Massacre, expansion of relations with Mexican politicians, and highly public collapse.

Little Liberia was born out of the intersection of Black spaces and borderland places, and its story, in Hooton's deft telling, reveals the crucial role of that intersection in the history of race, borderlands, immigration, social movements, and White supremacy in the United States and Mexico.

This book investigates the intersection between race, class and gender in South Africa's post-apartheid cinema.

The book argues that the colonial and apartheid era established a multiform, racist and sexist narrative in the film industry that persisted into the post-apartheid era, with films often struggling to render a nuanced and dynamic representation of Black women. The end of apartheid marked a crucial moment in the history of South Africa's struggles against all forms of oppression, and it came with a notable shift in film production in the country. This in turn led to increased international recognition, with many films being nominated for prestigious major awards. Considering key films of the period, and drawing on cultural studies, Black feminism, standpoint theory and Gramsci's theory of hegemony, this book argues that despite these advances, the inequalities and power relations that characterised both the colonial and apartheid eras continued to be reproduced and re-envisioned in post-apartheid South Africa's movie industry, except for a few discontinuities in some of the films directed by women.

Encouraging readers to challenge assumptions about the post-apartheid era, this book will be an important read for researchers of South African media studies, cultural studies, communication studies, and film studies.

While international migration profoundly influences governance, development, and social structures, Africa's unique position as a sending, transit, and receiving region remains underexamined. Migration of Africans: Realities, Governance and Development offers a rigorous, contextually grounded examination of how migration intersects with governance, everyday life, and development across the continent.

Bringing together original research from across Africa, this edited volume examines international migration through multiple lenses, including governance, regional integration, labour mobility, gender, religion, digital practices, forced displacement, transnational families, and the experiences of those left behind. With empirical case studies spanning countries such as Nigeria, Cameroon, Senegal, Namibia, and Burkina Faso, contributors analyse both voluntary and forced migration, highlighting the social, economic, and emotional dimensions of mobility. Moving thematically, from macro-level discussions of migration governance and regional integration to micro-level analyses of lived experience, wellbeing, online engagement with homelands, and household dynamics, this collection locates migration within broader development processes and institutional frameworks, while centring African perspectives and contextual realities often marginalised in global migration debates.

Designed for multi- and transdisciplinary audiences bridging sociology, development studies, political science, and African studies, this collection offers actionable insights for optimizing migration governance and development outcomes, making it an indispensable resource for understanding Africa's evolving migration landscape.

Making Home in the Euro-Caribbean delves into the intricate dynamics of Dominican migration within the Caribbean, focusing on how receiving society characteristics alongside immigrants' preferences shape feelings of home. This pioneering study shifts the spotlight from the well-trodden paths of migration to Western Europe and North America, offering a fresh perspective on intra-Caribbean, South-South migration flows. It situates Curacao as a semi-peripheral setting-geographically part of the Global South while institutionally embedded within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Providing an in-depth analysis, author Sabrina Dinmohamed focuses on Dominican immigrants in Curacao, a unique case study due to minimal immigration policies, constrained social services, the long-standing presence of Dominicans on the island, their institutionalized cultural practices, and their visible impact on the local landscape. The book argues that the settlement experiences and home feelings of South-South migrants are distinct from those of South-North migrants, influenced by different economic and socio-cultural conditions. The book further challenges the assumption that Caribbean migrants primarily view Overseas Countries and Territories as stepping stones to Europe. Instead, it shows how migration aspirations are shaped by considerations of proximity, familiarity, and local perceptions of success. By examining these nuanced relationships, the book enriches the broader literature on migration flows and contributes valuable insights into immigrant experiences in receiving societies.

This study not only enhances theoretical discourse on immigrant settlement but also informs societal and political debates about immigrants in the Caribbean. It advocates for a more respectful and informed approach to understanding regional migrants through lived experiences. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary migration studies and the complexities of homemaking in migration contexts.

Sweden, like other Nordic countries, prides itself on being "colorblind" or immune to the kinds of racism found in, for example, the United States. In the 1960s and 1970s, white Swedish documentarians, in the fashion of early anthropologists, recorded racial tensions amid the US civil rights movement. More recently, in the twenty-first century, short films produced by Swedes of color have tackled racism and bigotry within Sweden.

Benjamin Mier-Cruz offers a comparative study of these two periods of Swedish documentary filmmaking. "Racially innocent" white documentarians of the mid-twentieth century developed an "aesthetics of altruism" predicated on Sweden's assumed racial equalitarianism-a notion that their documentaries in turn helped create and maintain. In contemporary films, on the other hand, Swedes of color use the same filmic format to challenge not only their predecessors' reductionist, pseudo-anthropological presentations but also Sweden's purportedly colorblind ideology. Mier-Cruz's close readings of films from both eras demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of the documentary form and the ways in which it is motivated by politics and activism.

This multidisciplinary work addresses a critical gap by integrating Girmitiya identity into broader theories of diaspora and transnationalism. It redefines unique diasporic spaces by bridging theoretical frameworks with a deep empirical exploration of the Indo-Fijian experience.

Tracing the evolution of Indian indentured labourers transported under the British colonial system into settled, influential citizens of Fiji, this book maps their migration, settlement, and contemporary life. By navigating complex host-land politics and economic contributions, and by maintaining an unbroken, vibrant connection to their ancestral homeland, Indo-Fijians created dynamic, hybrid zones that are uniquely their own, distinct from both India and Fiji. The book first establishes robust theoretical frameworks for diasporic identity, then situates specific elements of Indo-Fijian political activism, economic impact, and cultural retention.

A trailblazing reference for scholars, researchers, and enthusiastic readers, this book offers a systematic account of how historical migration shapes modern transnational identities. Its deep insights into transnational community dynamics also provide valuable perspectives for policymakers.

This book examines the Korean Wave's transnational flows, especially its trans-Pacific journey to the U.S., its transformation en route and Korean Americans' versatile, multi-layered involvement in these processes.

Through a comparative analysis of its diverse local receptions both in East Asia (China, Taiwan and Japan) and the U.S., this book investigates the ways in which the trajectories of the Korean Wave have been shaped by its dynamic interactions with local conditions in a changing global environment. After a brief discussion about the early stage of the Korean Wave in Asia, the book then goes on to focus on Korean pop culture's flows to the U.S. revolving around its genealogy connected with Korean immigration to the country, its growing integration into the country's broader cultural landscape and variety of local receptions, particularly along ethnic/racial lines.

Drawing on extensive ethnographic data, this book sheds new light on Korean Americans' involvement in the Korean Wave phenomenon and will appeal to students and scholars of Korean culture, the Korean diaspora, Asian American studies and popular culture and media studies more generally.

The urban disorder in Los Angeles in the late spring of 1992 shocked the world. For five days following the acquittal of police officers accused of the vicious beating of African American motorist Rodney King, the city's Black and immigrant neighbourhoods burned. These events have long been understood as an enraged response to blatant racial injustice in an era of criminalization, poverty, and political powerlessness.

Setting the uprising within a twenty-year continuum of activist struggles for spatial justice, Before and After Rodney King tells a different story. George Francis-Kelly introduces an array of diverse and engaged community activists who fought to improve the everyday lives of their neighbours throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, from downtown janitors to East LA grandmothers, South Central entrepreneurs to Compton revolutionaries. Familiar community spaces became sites of struggle to reclaim the future of local development, jobs, and policing. As the global forces of the Reagan era began to define attitudes toward race and neoliberal urban policy, the resulting struggles over urban space precipitated the most destructive, costly, and deadly riot in modern US history.

Drawing from unexplored archival sources, Francis-Kelly examines the intersections between social history and racial geography to situate Los Angeles-based activism within the political landscape of urban America in the 1980s and 1990s.

Why do some immigrant communities throw themselves into political life, while others remain on the sidelines? This book addresses this question by examining the Chinese communities of Sydney, drawing on dozens of in-depth interviews, an original survey, and national survey data up to 2025.

The author argues that Sydney's Chinese evangelical churches offer migrants a complete world of friendship, restored status, emotional support, and a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar country. However, this completeness can quietly turn members away from politics, a phenomenon the author terms the 'Sanctuary Trap'. By contrast, secular Chinese associations act as bridges, connecting their members to wider society and encouraging political engagement. The comparative analysis of the two organizational types provides a sustained theoretical argument about the conditions under which associational involvement facilitates or constrains political participation.

A fresh account of faith, belonging, and political life, this book offers lessons for migrant communities far beyond Australia. It will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, Asian studies, religion and politics, as well as to Asian immigrants.

The social media platform WeChat has had a subtle but meaningful influence within the Chinese immigrant community in America. It serves as a channel for dispensing political information and keeping this minority racial group connected.

WeChat and the New Chinese American examines how and why the platform, which originated in China and followed many recent immigrants to their new life in America, has become an indispensable source of communication, community access, and interconnection not just between immigrants, but also with China and the rest of the Chinese diaspora.

Jingsi Christina Wu conducts interviews with upper-middle-class Chinese immigrants who settled in America after 2000 to track general trends in the larger WeChat information and opinion environment, including its rise as a source of political discourse during the 2016 election and beyond and its impact on U.S.-China relations. In doing so, she tells a complicated, evolving story about Chinese and Chinese American populations, the changing media landscape, and the ongoing social division in the Chinese immigrant community as well as in the larger American society.

For decades, South Africa's handling of asylum seekers has been a focal point in discussions about refugee rights and the systemic challenges individuals face in the immigration process. Once celebrated for its progressive post-apartheid policies, the nation now grapples with criticism due to recurring xenophobic violence and the failures of its asylum system. These issues highlight the urgent need to address how bureaucratic processes can either protect or jeopardize the rights and dignity of those seeking refuge.

Navigating Asylum delves into these pressing issues by examining the nuanced narratives shared by asylum seekers, interpreters, and refugee status determination officers (RSDOs). This timely volume goes beyond existing literature by focusing on the intricate interactions during asylum interviews, arguing that these moments are critical in shaping the outcomes of asylum applications. By exploring the intersections of linguistic nuances, bureaucratic authority, and individual vulnerability, this work sheds light on the structural violence embedded in the asylum process. Angu offers a unique lens by investigating how language ideologies and rights impact the legitimacy of asylum claims and how these factors intertwine with the precarious lives of asylum seekers in South Africa.

Providing indispensable insights for scholars, policymakers, and advocates, Navigating Asylum is essential reading for anyone dedicated to understanding and reforming refugee systems. Through its critical analysis, the work aims to foster greater empathy and accountability, ultimately striving toward a more equitable system for those in desperate need of protection.

Originally written in 1980 by the Lorenzo J. Greene, Gary R. Kremer, and Antonio F. Holland and revised and updated in 1993 by Kremer and Holland, Missouri's Black Heritage, now in a greatly expanded third edition, remains the only book-length account of the rich and inspiring history of the Show-Me State's African American population. With more than one hundred photographs, most of them new to this third edition, Kremer and Holland incorporate the latest scholarship as they describe in detail the struggles many Black Missourians continue to face in the aftermath of their ancestors' arduous and courageous struggles since Emancipation to achieve their full civil and political rights as U.S. citizens.

Documenting the African American experience from the horrors of slavery through the great victories over many generations, the book touches on the lives of people such as John Berry Meachum, a St. Louis slave who purchased his own freedom and then helped countless other slaves gain emancipation; Hiram Young, a Jackson County free black whose manufacturing of wagons for Sante Fe Trail travelers made him a legendary figure; James Milton Turner, who, after rising from slavery to become one of the best-educated blacks in Missouri worked with the Freedmen's Bureau and the State Department of Education to establish schools for blacks all over the state after the Civil War; and Annie Turnbo Malone, a St. Louis entrepreneur whose business skills made her one of the state's wealthiest African Americans in the early twentieth century.

A personal reminiscence by the late Lorenzo J. Greene, a distinguished African American historian whom many regard as one of the fathers of Black history, offers a unique view of Missouri's racial history and heritage, as do Kremer and Holland, in their new preface and introduction to the third edition.

African migration and the diaspora have become central to contemporary debates on governance, development, and global inequality. Migration and the African Diaspora: Materialities of Governance and Development offers a critical and empirically grounded exploration of how migration shapes, and is shaped by, institutional frameworks, lived experience, and transnational relations.

Bringing together original research from across Africa and African diasporic contexts, this edited volume examines international migration through interconnected themes of governance, development, remittances, gender, climate change, labour exploitation, and diaspora engagement. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative studies, contributors analyse migration processes and outcomes across diverse empirical settings, including Sub Saharan Africa, Canada, the Middle East, and African transnational family networks. Chapters interrogate issues such as remittance economies and leakage, the climate change-migration nexus, development impacts of mobility, gendered health and labour experiences, modern slavery, and the social obligations facing migrants and their left behind families. The volume also offers a critical assessment of African states' diaspora engagement policies and continental migration frameworks, questioning assumptions of reciprocity and inclusion in governance narratives.

This collection advances an African centred perspective that foregrounds material realities, power relations, and institutional dynamics. It is insightful reading for scholars and students in migration studies, African studies, development studies, sociology, political science, human geography, and diaspora and transnational studies.

This interdisciplinary volume examines the multifaceted dynamics of the Punjabi diaspora, moving beyond conventional frameworks to explore the diverse cultural, linguistic, religious, and regional identities of Punjabis across the globe. The book addresses contemporary issues affecting Punjab and its diaspora, including migration patterns, identity formation, gender dynamics, economic contributions, political participation, and cultural representation from colonial migration to present-day transnationalism.
Drawing on primary research, interviews, and case studies across four thematic sections, the collection features contributions from scholars in Canada, the UK, France, and Europe, offering comparative perspectives on varied Punjabi diasporic experiences in different geopolitical contexts. The volume explores how diaspora communities maintain homeland connections while examining economic impact through remittances, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy. Some of the key themes explored include preservation and transformation of cultural practices, hybrid identities, media representations, political transnational networks, and issues of diversity, marginality, and inclusion within diasporic communities.
This volume serves as essential reading for researchers and students in migration studies, diaspora studies, South Asian studies, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, gender studies, media studies, and interdisciplinary studies.

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online.

An assumption present in refugee status determinations is that there is an incompatibility of religious faith and queer subjectivity. Queerly Faithful considers religious experiences throughout the lives of queer people who seek asylum to show the complexity of queer people's lives in country of origin, the legal asylum process and rebuilding lives in host countries. How do queer people experience religion before and after arrival into the UK to claim asylum?

Providing new empirical data in an under researched area, Fletcher examines the nexus of queer subjectivity, religion and asylum seeking, highlighting life history interviews with queer people seeking asylum and with those who respond to them, either in a faith-based context, legal provision, or NGO responses. By exploring three key areas country-of-origin (CoO) experience, the intersection of the legal and social in the UK asylum context, and religious responses in the UK to those who are forced to flee due to queer subjectivity Fletcher shows how the stereotypical assumption that faith and queer subjectivity are not compatible is not only incorrect but can limit people's ability to gain refugee protection. Challenging dominant narratives of a homogenously homophobic global south by demonstrating the complexity of strategies interlocutors employ to remain in CoO, the research also shows how religious responses can provide help and healing for LGBTQI+ people who seek asylum in the UK.

Making recommendations on how faith spaces can become more visibly welcoming to those with queer subjectivities who are within the asylum process, this is important reading for academics and students in the sub-disciplines of forced migration studies, sexuality studies, sociology of religion and queer feminist theory.

South Africa is often dubbed as a young nation, with youth making up 35.7% of the total population. But are its institutions set up to include all young people equitably? Unearthing the Institutionalised Social Exclusion of Black Youth in Contemporary South Africa highlights how the social exclusion of impoverished black youth in South Africa remains deeply entrenched within the key institutions of health, education, and employment.

Shifting the focus of youth exclusion to institutions and how it is embedded within these and focusing on health, education, and economic systems, Kubeka provides a toolkit for interventions to challenge exclusion within institutions. Drawing upon well-established theories of social exclusion and neo-institutionalism as lenses through which to reflect upon, unearth, centre, reframe, and reimagine social exclusion, particularly as it is experienced by black youth from the townships of South Africa, the author provides an understanding and articulation of how certain individuals and a collective of individuals are excluded from fully participating in society. Presenting a conception of 'youth social exclusion' that captures the complex social disconnection of youth resulting from a socioeconomic positionality that is inherently precarious, Kubeka calls for an institutional analysis approach to be adopted to enable the identification of the nature and processes of exclusion inherent within the structure and systems of institutions.

Offering recommendations for the creation of strategic and intervention frameworks to assist existing institutions of education, health, and employment to be more inclusive and to effectively facilitate smooth transitions to adulthood among black youth, this is important reading for scholars interested in reforming education, health and the economic systems.

October 7, 2023, marked a watershed in Jewish life. The Hamas attack on Israel on that date, and the wars that have raged in the Middle East ever since, brought anti-Jewish hatred from the fringes of society to the mainstream, making it a daily experience for Jewish people in Britain and around the world. Murderous attacks on Jews and the burning of synagogues became, once again, a feature of Western societies, with old anti-Jewish myths and libels repackaged for a smartphone audience. This rise in antisemitism was driven by fervent hatred of Israel and demonisation of Zionism: what began at Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7 led, eventually but inevitably, to the massacre of Jews on Bondi Beach two years later. From Be'eri to Bondi tells this story through articles, essays and talks written by the author over that period, brought up to date with a fresh perspective three years on: a real-time account of how it has felt for Jews as their sense of safety and belonging in their own countries started to crumble. It provides an explanation for why this happened, and a programme of action for how to stop this most ancient of hatreds from spreading even further.

Refugee Education in Canada is a timely exploration of the politics of belonging, complexities, challenges and successes that contextualize refugee education in publicly funded K-12 education.

This Canadian perspective explores the convergences and divergences of refugee education policies, practices, discourses, and narratives informing supporting refugee child and youth integration into education by offering insights to how these various factors shape refugee access to education. Drawing on the perspectives of diverse voices advocating for refugee educational structures that are antiracist, culturally responsive, trauma-informed and grounded in the lived experiences of refugee students, parents and communities, this volume provides recommendations for shifts in policy and practice for teacher candidates, in-service teachers, social workers, settlement workers, administrators, and provincial and territorial policymakers.

Refugee Education in Canada is a much-needed project to ensure that faculties of education, school boards and policy making bodies are responsive to the unique needs of refugee students as Canadian schools support significant refugee student populations, particularly in urban areas.
