This Handbook is the first multidisciplinary anthology of research on antiracism in global historical perspective. It demonstrates the importance of a historical lens for understanding the deep lineages of antiracism and reveals the myriad ways-transracial, transnational, and transhistorical-that antiracism has shaped world history.Drawing on case studies from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, South America and North America from the eighteenth century to the present, this volume situates antiracism in a variety of temporal, geographical and ideological contexts that span the globe. By highlighting the perspectives of racially marginalized individuals and communities, it showcases the distinctiveness and importance of key thinkers, ideas, and methodologies in regional and national contexts. Further, by recovering complex histories, including memories and legacies, of antiracism, this Handbook illustrates how faultlines of race, class, and gender informed internal debates, priorities and outcomes. It emphasizes the creativity and labour of antiracist activism at the local and international levels.The Routledge Handbook of Antiracism in Global Historical Perspective ultimately underscores the diverse genealogies of antiracism and its transnational networks of political solidarity in order to contribute to future research and teaching as well as political praxis in the present. A vital resource for students, teachers and activists alike, it presents a synthesis of some of the best work on antiracism to date by leading scholars, both emerging and internationally recognized, across the humanities and social sciences.

Wells, Andrew, Generating Difference: Race and Reproduction in the British Empire, 1660-1840. 392 pp. 2026:1 (Johns Hopkins U. Pr., US) <759-793>
ISBN 978-1-4214-5360-6 paper ¥14,146.- (税込) US$ 64.95

Explores the intersection of racial thought and reproductive science and policy across the British Empire.In Generating Difference, Andrew Wells traces the entwined histories of race, sex, and reproduction in Britain and its empire during the long eighteenth century. Challenging the assumption that the concept of race evolved in the modern era solely through new forms of biological science, Wells argues that older ideas of lineage, sexual reproduction, and bodily difference remained central to how race was understood, categorized, and enforced well into the nineteenth century. From the pages of Enlightenment science to colonial policy in the Caribbean, South Asia, and the Pacific, Wells shows how reproductive sex served as a primary framework for defining human differences. Concepts of identity were written onto bodies-especially those marked as non-white or non-male-through perceived differences in anatomy, fertility, and sexuality, albeit never unproblematically. Whether in debates about slavery, interracial relationships, embryology, or population policy, the reproductive body became the crucible in which ideas about race and sex were forged and maintained. Offering a global scope beyond the Atlantic, including South Asia and the Pacific, and drawing from a wide range of sources-from satire to scientific treatises-Generating Difference brings the scholarship of race and sexuality into direct and compelling conversation. Wells uncovers how deeply reproduction structured imperial ideologies and how the policing of bodies helped naturalize hierarchy, control, and exclusion. At its core, the book reconsiders what made difference "visible" in a period before the dominance of the idea of racial biology.

Shin, Minjae, Migration and Cross-Border Marriage in South Korea: Brokering Nationhood and Wifehood. (Routledge Series on Asian Migration) 184 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <759-834>
ISBN 978-1-041-14169-3 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Rather than treating them as logistical intermediaries, this book reconceptualizes the role of cross-border marriage brokers in South Korea, facilitating mobility while also helping to shape narratives around gender, family, and national belonging in contemporary Asia.Drawing on multi-sited, qualitative research - including discourse analysis of brokers' online videos, interviews, fieldwork at an NGO, and government reports - the book takes a holistic approach to understanding brokers' practices. Chapters explore how they navigate regulation, legitimise their services, manage scrutiny, and market themselves through narratives that resonate with prevailing gender norms and dominant ideals of marriage. In doing so, brokers reinforce racialised, gendered, and moral hierarchies, contributing to selective norms of wifehood and nationhood. The book also considers how these practices have prompted responses from civil society actors, including migrant rights groups and cross-border unions, who challenge cultural framings of marriage migration, migrant wives, and Korean husbands.Situating the Korean case within a wider Asian context, the book highlights shared patterns and divergent developments, framing brokerage as part of broader debates on migration, multiculturalism, and contested belonging. It will appeal to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in migration, Asian, and gender studies.

Gin, Ooi Keat (ed.), The Chinese in Brunei. (Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series) 358 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <759-840>

This book presents diverse perspectives on issues faced by the Chinese minority in predominantly Malay Muslim Brunei, drawing together cutting-edge research from early career, Brunei Chinese academics themselves in order to present a truly ground-breaking volume.As a result of strict immigration rules and citizenship requirements following Brunei's independence in 1984, the population of ethnically Chinese residents in the country has declined consistently. Despite this, the Chinese community are significant in the region, playing a pivotal role through their sizeable socioeconomic contributions. Chapters shed light on a broad range of issues and challenges faced by the Chinese community in Brunei, from adaptation in wider society and struggles around ethnic identity and belonging, to loss of dialect, language, religious freedom, and the on-going pressures around assimilation. Though the volume naturally focuses in-depth on the Chinese experience in Brunei, the book relates the themes explored to broader international contexts where ethnic minorities are present, drawing parallels and reinforcing the global relevance of the book.This book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields Southeast Asian culture and society, diaspora studies, and race and ethnic studies more broadly.

Hebbar, Ritambhara (ed.), Migrants, Mobile Lives and Dissent: Ethnographies from India. (Social Movements and Transformative Dissent) 224 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <759-864>
ISBN 978-1-032-87055-7 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

In a world where people are predominantly on the move, mobility has not received as much attention as sedentism. Is it because mobility is a disavowal of a sedentary disposition? Or is it that, as social frontiers, mobile lives disrupt the linear narrative of social evolution and civilization inherent in the idea of settlement? This book engages with the substance of these strains in the lived experiences of mobile populations, in what it means to be recalcitrant and find one's bearings in mobility.Mobility is also transformative as it brings with it sentience, an awareness of the faultline in the system. Drawing on mobile ethnographies from different parts of India - a nomadic community in Kutch, tribal youth in Ranchi, mobile rural youth in Chhattisgarh, the Musahars, an ex-untouchable community in Bihar, migrant labour in Delhi during the COVID-19 lockdown, north Indian Muslim migrants and the homeless in Mumbai, tribal plantation workers in Kerala and the Char dwellers in Assam - the book explores the cadence of dissent and what it conveys about the inconstancy of relentless human pursuits, and the human desire for transcendence, wholeness, and unity. The book explores how all ethnographies are inherently mobile, traversing through lives, contexts, and locales to capture the ever-evolving human condition.Part of the Social Movements and Transformative Dissent series, this book will be of interest to students and researchers of sociology, anthropology, social work, cultural studies, inequality studies, migration and labour studies. It will be of use to social activists and policymakers as well.

With a focus on nineteenth-century Cuba, Victor Goldgel Carballo conceptualizes the analytical category of racial doubt: the hesitation produced by divergent, contradictory, or ambiguous understandings of race. Racial doubt is the flip side of racialism, or of the assumption that social hierarchies are based on the existence of races, imagined as natural or prior to those hierarchies. Mapping key moments of a century that witnessed the peak of racial slavery, abolition, and the birth of the Black press, this book shows how captives, free people of color, and Afro-Cuban authors leveraged doubts to overcome racist sociopolitical structures. It interweaves analyses of literature, including poems by enslaved authors and a novel by a mixed-race journalist, with unpublished archival material, including testimonies of kidnapped Afrodescendants. Focusing on how people held multiple views of race simultaneously, it examines debates crucial to the history of the Americas, including color-blindness and shifting understandings of Blackness.

An insightful rethinking of political socialization within Latino immigrant households. Conventional wisdom tells us that children are passive recipients of political lessons from their parents, with caregivers being the ones who mold the developing behavior and beliefs of the children under their roof. Roberto F. Carlos challenges this preconception by revealing how Latino children, especially those with immigrant parents, often become key sources of political information and guidance in their families. As migrant parents navigate unfamiliar institutions and customs in the United States, they often turn to their children to broker information about everything from daily life to civic engagement. These roles not only place unique responsibilities on children but also create new pathways for them to shape the political behavior of their parents. Moreover, by taking on these roles, children learn the skills that can make them effective advocates later in life, even as they face resource disadvantages that normally correlate with reduced political participation and sense of political efficacy. Drawing on six original surveys, multiple experiments, and in-depth interviews, including the accounts of youth helping protect their families from deportation, InformationBrokers shows how these dynamics influence both immigrant parents and their children in politically consequential ways. With the Latino population now over 64 million, Information Brokers offers vital insight into the political incorporation of America's largest ethnic group.

We live in a period when more people are migrating from the countryside to the city, from city to city, and from country to country than at nearly anytime in human history. At the same time, we see sharp increases in wealth and income inequality. These two trends fuel populist movements on both the left and right, topping political agendas across the world.Untangling the Political Roots of Immigration and Inequality in the United States examines the causes, consequences, and politics of mass migration and growing inequality by investigating the case of the United States - the quintessential immigrant nation. While scholars, policy makers, and advocates have put forth a variety of explanations, many misdiagnose the causes and put forward remedies that treat symptoms. This book looks to the root causes of mass migration and intensifying inequality, arguing that they are two sides of the same coin resulting from rapacious forms of capitalist accumulation and imperialist interventionism. Developing a broadly left analytic framework grounded in elements of Marxist theory and political science, two periods are examined - 1870-1925 and 1970-2025 - when the proportion of immigrants in the U.S. peaked at 15% of the total population, the US experienced steep inequality and political polarization, immigration and inequality became contentious political issues that generated sharp conflict, and immigrants and workers organized mass movements that advanced radical politics and transformative change. This book contains a wealth of information and elevates valuable lessons for scholars, policy makers and organizers interested in understanding these trends and forging equitable and just solutions today.

Hasanaj, Shkelzen, The Balkan Route: Albania in Contemporary Migration. (Studies in Migration and Diaspora) 178 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <759-704>
ISBN 978-1-032-95427-1 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This volume presents an in-depth investigation into the dynamics of irregular migration through Albania, which recently have radically transformed the traditional perception of the country from a land of emigration to a crucial transit hub.Through an interdisciplinary reading, the author examines transformations in migration routes in the Western Balkans, highlighting how the externalisation of EU migration policies has affected the region, leading Albania to become a 'stable containment' point for migrants. The author draws from empirical data, personal stories and policy analyses to explore the complex interactions between migrants, local communities and national and supranational policies. From the exodus of the 1990s to cooperation with Frontex and the latest bilateral accords with Italy, Albania's trajectory reveals how migration governance has been reshaped at Europe's borders. Addressing the evolution of the Balkan routes leading to the EU and their interrelation, and the impact of migration on the Albanian social and political fabric, the book concludes by underlining the strategic importance of Albania in European migration routes and the need to reformulate regional and European cooperation in the management of migration flows.An important new interdisciplinary approach offering fresh perspectives on the role of transit countries in contemporary migration flows, it ultimately points to the importance of multidimensional understandings that integrate sociological, political and humanitarian aspects. It fills a crucial gap in the academic and policy debate and will appeal to scholars, researchers, and policymakers with interests in contemporary migration dynamics and their social and political implications.

Kopecek, Vincenc / Lepic, Martin / Jelen, Libor (eds.), Ethnicity and Ethnic Minorities in Post-Soviet Eurasia. (Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series) 242 pp. 2026:1 (Routledge, UK) <759-707>
ISBN 978-1-041-09997-0 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book focuses on the study of ethnic minorities in post- Soviet Eurasia, their self-perceptions, and their relations with ethnic majorities and dominant state- and nation-building. Contributors to the book examine strategies and networks which minorities create for preserving a group's distinctiveness while at the same time maintaining coexistence with the majority. The chapters also study the effects of different contextual settings of these strategies and networks. Offering a unique systematic comparison of selected cases using ethnicity as the main concept, the book argues it was the Soviet notion of ethnicity which stood in the centre of the administrative structure of the Soviet Union and that it consequently had a profound impact on how individual ethnic majority and minority groups in the former USSR understood themselves and imagined each other, how political institutions in individual Soviet republics and ethnic autonomies were formed, and how this institutional setting defined the distribution of political power between ethnic majorities and minorities. It also argues that this complex system of relations between ethnic minorities and majorities has significantly changed during the past 30 years and resulted in the formation of a post-Soviet notion of ethnicity. This book will be of interest to researchers studying Post- Soviet Politics, Political Geography, International Relations, Political Science, History, and Area studies.

ISBN 978-1-032-86279-8 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Cogan and contributors explore critical political, cultural, and structural challenges facing Indo-Pacific diaspora communities through seven unique contexts, illuminating how these populations confront transnational repression and organizational fragmentation while rebuilding lives abroad.Populations from many countries in the Indo-Pacific region have sought to resettle overseas, fleeing political unrest, ethnic conflict, political persecution and violence, discrimination and marginalization based on religious beliefs, and poor economic conditions. In seeking better opportunities for themselves and their families, severe challenges and obstacles remain. Drawing upon first-hand interviews, this book provides rich insights into the struggles of diaspora groups from Hong Kong, Thailand, Myanmar, India, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Each chapter explores unique cultural, economic, and political barriers faced by these disparate communities, from maintaining identity to confronting surveillance by home governments, while examining how diaspora organizations pursue political change, justice for human rights abuses, and international advocacy. A valuable resource for scholars and students of International Relations, as well as human rights professionals working with diaspora populations or on issues related to authoritarianism and democratization.

Upends the "broken systems" myth and reveals how the law deliberately criminalizes and punishes Black women, inflicting lasting harm on Black communities in the process. The United States has one of the highest rates of incarceration in the world, and within our country, Black people are disproportionately imprisoned. Many view this statistic as evidence of a broken system. But sociologist Susila Gurusami argues that the carceral system that so disproportionately harms Black families is not broken at all. In fact, it works just as it was intended. Looking closely at the lives of formerly incarcerated Black mothers, Gurusami shows how state institutions like the criminal-legal, child welfare, and healthcare systems keep Black mothers from their families, harming Black communities in the process. She also reveals how Black women work towards conditions that seem impossible-and even utopian-as part of their everyday mothering labor, but find themselves criminalized for these same actions. Drawing on ethnographic data and interviews with formerly incarcerated Black women in South Los Angeles, Gurusami challenges dominant assumptions about mothering and criminal justice reform. Gurusami finds that, even under the assaults of reproductive warfare, criminalized Black women build networks, practices, and theories of radical care that protect Black maternal life, legacies, and futures. With incarcerated, formerly incarcerated, and system-impacted Black mothers at the forefront of the growing movement to abolish prisons and jails, Gurusami demonstrates how their everyday mothering work-what she calls "abolitionist motherwork"-is essential to imagining the end of incarceration and ultimately achieving it. Written with a tender and honest voice, Break the System shares moving vignettes that underscore why we must break the system, rather than reform it, and why we must imagine a future that is radically different than the one we're told we must accept or salvage.

In Unions, Race, and Popular Democracy, Kim Scipes dives deep into the historical intricacies of labor organizing, focusing on the struggles against white supremacy and racism in the workplace, union, and respective communities in and around Chicago including Northwest Indiana. Comparing unions in the steel and meatpacking industries during the critical decades of the mid-twentieth century, Scipes argues there were two opposing conceptualizations of trade unionism within the CIO and each led to different organizational behaviors: the steelworkers overwhelmingly ignored these issues, while the packinghouse workers directly confronted them. Scipes explores the ramifications of the approaches of steel and meatpacking unionism and illuminates the processes that resulted in the dismantling of progressive unionism in the United States. By detailing how previous labor activists dealt with these issues, Unions, Race, and Popular Democracy offers valuable insights for labor activism during our contemporary moment, and aids efforts to re-ignite movement impact in times perilous for US labor, works to advance the wellbeing of workers overall, and supports the positive social change efforts of our world.

An unsettling exploration of the persistence of racism in reproductive healthcare in the US and why even affluent Black women are imperiled by substandard care. From a leading expert on race, class, maternal health, and reproductive rights. Racism in maternal healthcare is not reserved for the poor. An unsparing picture of inequities in prenatal care and childbirth in the US, Expecting Inequity reveals that not only are Black people three-to-four times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause, but racial disparities in maternal mortality persist across income levels. That is, wealthier Black people are much more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postpartum period than their white counterparts. Focusing on a San Francisco obstetrics clinic that caters to the affluent, Khiara Bridges looks at the choices around prenatal care and childbirth that class-privileged, pregnant Black people are making in order to survive what has been called the 'Black maternal health crisis.' Bridges, whose previous work exposed how race and racism are embedded in maternal healthcare for the poor, draws upon two years of participant-observation to show how wealthier Black people try to leverage their class privilege to avoid some of the negative effects of their Blackness only to discover that in a country that has never reckoned with its horrific racial past, there is no escaping racism s reach. Throughout the book, engaging, heartbreaking, infuriating stories of women s experiences with pregnancy and prenatal care illustrate how race and racism matter regardless of wealth or status.

This book pays respect to different embodiments of Black editors in the Atlantic world, highlighting that from North to South America to Great Britain they occupied and promoted multifaceted roles, agendas, and poieses during a transformative period in the Atlantic world, the long nineteenth century. Black people's contributions to print ventures have been constant and manifold across the Atlantic world during the past centuries. If enslavement and forced labor dictated their involvement in many instances, Black people from early on also adopted the roles of authors, contributors, subscribers, and, notably, editors of different print materials. Through careful historical analysis, this volume illuminates the diverse strategies, networks, and intellectual contributions of these editors who navigated complex social and political landscapes while advancing their communities through print culture.Black Editorship in the Early Atlantic World is essential reading for scholars and students of Black Atlantic studies, print culture history, nineteenth-century literature, journalism history, and those interested in the intellectual and cultural contributions of Black communities during a pivotal era of global transformation.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Atlantic Studies.

This book focuses on the Pentecostal experience of African Caribbean women in Britain, paying attention to the influence of Pentecostalism as it is expressed in everyday life. Foregrounding the voices of Black British Pentecostal women, it presents the church not as a haven but as a context of empowerment. Pentecostal spirituality provided Caribbean women of the Windrush generation the spiritual and theological means to re-vision the British realities of racism, sexism, and ecclesial patriarchy. Their Pentecostal expression motivated the women to organize churches as spaces of quiet social activism displayed in the lives of successive generations as they navigate contemporary Britain. Utilizing qualitative research located within the discipline of practical theology, the author considers: What is the nature of the experiential dimension of Pentecostalism in the lives of African Caribbean women? What are the features of African Caribbean spirituality? And how might the lived experience of African Caribbean women contribute to an understanding of Pentecostal spirituality? The book will be of interest to scholars of religion, theology, history, and gender studies.

Backman, Aina, Anthropology and Immigration Detention Work in Sweden: Being an Outsider Inside the Fence. 304 pp. 2026:2 (Routledge, UK) <759-1168>
ISBN 978-1-032-93490-7 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book offers an anthropological inquiry into the labour underpinning immigration detention in Sweden, examining the daily practices, institutional efforts, and forms of knowledge production that sustain the detention regime.Drawing upon fieldwork involving time spent with detention workers while wearing a uniform, the author offers a rare, immersive perspective, providing insights from detention departments, offices, meetings, training sessions, isolation cells and control rooms. By situating these practices in relation to the European and international deportation industry, the book analyses how detention is not only executed but also increasingly optimized and made the subject of social scientific understanding. Through this lens, the study sheds light on the operational procedures that shape contemporary immigration control. By bringing Martin Heidegger's critique of modern technology into dialogue with this anthropological study of detention work, the book offers an analytical lens on how technology shapes not only practice but perception. Rather than treating technological systems within detention as tools to be studied, this book foregrounds the idea that technological thinking preconditions how detention is conceived, analysed and understood.Anthropology and Immigration Detention Work in Sweden is suitable for scholars of incarceration, immigration, and deportation, particularly in Nordic and European contexts.

Pierre, Jemima / Rahier, Jean Muteba (ed.), The Cambridge Handbook for the Anthropology of Race and Ethnicity. (Cambridge Handbooks in Anthropology) 410 pp. 2026:4 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <759-1183>
ISBN 978-1-316-51503-7 hard ¥36,850.- (税込) GB￡ 125.00

What is race and how does it structure our contemporary world? This Handbook offers a groundbreaking exploration of these urgent questions, providing a critical, global perspective on the anthropology of race and ethnicity. Drawing together cutting-edge research across subdisciplines such as physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, archaeology and linguistics, it emphasizes the key roles of colonialism and the discipline of anthropology in shaping our understanding of race, and demonstrates the instrumentality of race/ethnicity in the reproduction of local and global inequality. The chapters show how a variety of issues are deeply rooted in global structures of race and power - from the rising popularity of genomics to police brutality and the rise of the far right in the West. Providing new theoretical frameworks and innovative methodologies reshaping the discipline of anthropology, this Handbook is a vital resource for anyone interested in the complexities of race in the 21st century.

Calabretta, Andrea, Towards Transnationality as Practice: A Bourdieusian Approach to Studying the Transnationality of Tunisians in Italy. (Studies in Migration and Diaspora) 244 pp. 2026:1 (Routledge, UK) <759-1188>
ISBN 978-1-032-89304-4 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book engages in the stream of transnational migration studies by drawing on empirical research examination of the ties that Tunisian migrants and their descendants living in northern and southern Italy maintain with their country of origin. Through the unique application of Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical framework to the study of transnationality, the book demonstrates how transnationality can be understood in terms of practice - or, as the actualisation of a habitus generated by the social position of the agents, in a constant dialectic between interiority and exteriority. Rather than engaging with selected concepts in isolation, the work employs Bourdieu's entire framework to develop a holistic interpretation of the transnational experience, where objective and subjective dimensions are intimately intertwined, ultimately leading to a praxeological approach to the analysis of migratory transnationality.Towards Transnationality as Practice addresses a crucial gap in transnational migration studies, bringing a deeper understanding of the modalities through which transnationality is practised. It will appeal to scholars, researchers and advanced students with interests in migration and diaspora, transnationalism, cross-Mediterranean migration, social space, and belonging.

ISBN 978-1-041-13999-7 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book highlights and explores in-depth the moral and conceptual problems invoked by the continued use of "blackness" and "black" as modern identity realities for continental and diaspora Africans (CADA).The book deals with the importance of identity and theories of change and their systemic and structural consequences. It presents the phenomenological analysis of "blackness" and the body, and the epistemic and epistemological questions that continue to make "blackness" a relevant social reality today. The author ultimately demonstrates how human conditions are existential situations that can be critiqued and addressed without invoking "blackness" as an explanatory concept, theory or condition.A key volume which addresses important questions of change, power, and modern racial identities, it will appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in race and ethnicity, Black studies, racism and colour-based identities, critical theory, social theory, postcolonialism, and epistemic freedom.

グローバルな移民と民主主義のための闘争
Gest, Justin, Democratic Drain: Global Migration and the Struggle for Democracy. 200 pp. 2026:2 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <759-1194>

Democratic Drain links two of the most compelling topics of our time: immigration and democracy. With a blend of in-depth interviews and data analysis across 149 countries, Justin Gest explores how global migration filters people with liberal democratic values out of authoritarian spaces, enabling democratic backsliding around the world. At a global scale, the correlation between migratory choices and political values introduces a new reason why authoritarian countries may have struggled to democratize in the decades since the end of the Cold War - a period when flows of international migrants have grown so significantly, populism has spread, and authoritarians' resolve has steadily hardened. At a time when the world is increasingly sorting into democratic and undemocratic spaces, Gest's timely and innovative analysis raises important political and policy questions about how democracies might compensate for the inadvertent effects of global human mobility.

ロシアにおける性労働と移民　1885～1935年
Hetherington, Philippa / Iandolo, Alessandro et al. (eds.), Circulating Subjects: Sex Work and Migration in Russia, 1885-1935. 342 pp. 2026:7 (Cornell U. Pr., US) <759-1204>
ISBN 978-1-5017-8766-9 hard ¥14,146.- (税込) US$ 64.95

Circulating Subjects investigates the migration of women abroad for sex work from the 1880s through the 1930s, which Russian feminists, liberal jurists, and imperial bureaucrats worked together to define and criminalize this mobility as "white slavery." As Circulating Subjects reveals, white slavery became a powerful tool of border control for the Russian Empire, later the Soviet Union, to play a central role in shaping a global campaign against sex trafficking. Philippa Hetherington explores how a paternalistic desire to protect women underwrote the expansion of state power, linking gender, sexuality, and migration to the broader politics of sovereignty. Through vivid archival research spanning Odessa, Istanbul, and Geneva, she follows the development of Russian and Soviet anti-sex trafficking efforts across legal, diplomatic, and carceral domains. Hetherington draws on police files, consular reports, and the records of early feminist and humanitarian organizations to show how anti-trafficking campaigns, often led by people who considered themselves progressive, ultimately reinforced systems of surveillance and repression. Her framing of the "sex/migration nexus" captures how trafficking became a flexible label used to police the movements of entire populations. Circulating Subjects examines how trafficking was constructed, debated, and institutionalized. Hetherington's account offers critical insight into how moral panic becomes policy and how states mobilize concern for women to reinforce their power. For readers interested in gender, migration, and global law, this book reveals a past that still echoes in the ways we police borders today.

ISBN 978-1-032-90762-8 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

The collective volume, Translation and Diaspora, explores for the first time in a systematic way diasporic communities as a distinct site of translational activity and highlights how fundamental translational activity has been to the development of diaspora in the USA.Contrary to the quite extensive research on translation and migration, Translation and Diaspora with its exploration of interlingual translational activity of non-Anglophone emigre communities in the USA places greater emphasis on the dwelling than on the transit and presents translational activity as being shaped by broader forces in the transitional phase in the development of diasporic communities. The collection is organized around sections featuring historical case studies on key venues of diasporic translation-periodicals and publishing houses, and key agents in diasporic translation, translators, editors and associations. Taken together, the volume elucidates how the study of translation can offer unique insights into the relational and constructed nature of national and cultural identities in diasporic communities in the US and beyond.Translation and Diaspora will be of interest to scholars in translation studies, as well as to those from related fields such as migration, diaspora and exile studies, comparative literature and American studies.

This book addresses queer migration through the intersectional lens of queer liberalisms, authoritarianism, and marginal mobilities. Globally, LGBTIQ+ rights form an inherent part of human rights discourse and politics. At the same time, this very human rights language is increasingly used by nation-states to defend their borders, control migration flows, and intensify discrimination and prejudice against the "other". Queer migration scholarship has therefore maintained a critical approach to such forms of national queer liberalism which risk marginalizing LGBTIQ+ refugees, migrants, and asylum-seekers. The aim of this book is to unpack the tenuous relationship between politics of queer liberalisms and securitization within contested political contexts in the Global South and North by thinking about the ways in which the precarity of marginal mobilities for LGBTIQ+ persons on the move is produced within different (trans-) national contexts.This volume is essential reading for scholars, researchers, and graduate students in migration studies, queer and gender studies, human rights, and international relations. It offers valuable insights for policymakers, NGO professionals, and activists working at the intersection of LGBTIQ+ rights and migration. The book covers critical subject areas including transnational queer politics, border securitization, asylum processes, human rights frameworks, and the lived experiences of LGBTIQ+ migrants navigating hostile political environments across global contexts.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Seiler, Cotten, White Care: The Impact of Race on American Infrastructure. 304 pp. 2026:3 (U. Chicago Pr., US) <759-1224>

Framing infrastructure as the expression of a state's care for its population, White Care explores the crucial role of race in the building, maintenance, scope, and quality of US infrastructure. Infrastructure delivers to its users a range of benefits, from health, safety, and sanitation to mobility, energy, and education. It is, as Cotten Seiler argues, how modern states show care for their populations. White Care recounts the rise and fall of public infrastructure in the United States, unearthing its origins as an investment in those Americans deemed most highly evolved, showing the political stakes of its desegregation, and accounting for its current state of dilapidation. From the late nineteenth century through much of the twentieth, government investments in physical ("hard") and social ("soft") infrastructure constituted a regime of care that Seiler calls "custodial liberalism." This regime achieved legitimacy with the New Deal, which conferred upon white citizens a bounty of life-enhancing public works. But custodial liberalism began to unravel in the postwar decades, as Americans of color gained access to public schools, housing, swimming pools, parks, and other sites from which they had long been excluded. As the infrastructural commons were desegregated, white Americans withdrew from the social compact that had empowered them and turned toward neoliberalism, with its program of austerity and privatization. This racialized renunciation has deprived everyone-including themselves-of a cleaner, greener, healthier, safer, more affordable, and more functional environment.

How disaster remade San Francisco's Chinatown-and revealed the limits of belonging in America.San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in North America and one of the largest Chinese enclaves outside Asia. Spanning 30 city blocks and home to tens of thousands of monolingual Chinese residents, its endurance is remarkable-especially given how close it came to erasure. In this fascinating history, Dafeng Xu uncovers the contested history of this vibrant community, focusing on the transformative period surrounding the 1906 earthquake and fire that destroyed 80 percent of the city, including Chinatown. White San Franciscans saw the disaster as an opportunity to permanently displace the neighborhood. Instead, Chinatown was rebuilt-but not without conflict or consequence. Using detailed census data and other historical documents, Xu examines how this rebuilt Chinatown differed socially and physically from its earlier form-and the many ways it stayed the same. He explores whether the earthquake shifted patterns of segregation, if and how Chinese immigrants navigated pressure to assimilate-including adopting English, changing their names, and leaving ethnic neighborhoods-and whether they gained economic ground in the city's new landscape. Xu's study reveals a striking contradiction: while Chinese Americans were often criticized for not assimilating, systemic barriers made that very process nearly impossible. The post-disaster Chinatown became a symbol of cultural resilience, shaped by both community agency and persistent exclusion. Rich in insight and original research, Chinatown offers a powerful look at how disaster, racism, and resistance shaped one of America's most storied immigrant neighborhoods.

African American religions include faith orientations that incorporate and deviate from Afro-Protestantism. Yet, contemporary scholarship in religious studies is always bolstered by any supplementary work that examines the plethora of 'extrachurch' orientations that Black communities adopt in their varied pursuits of truth, transcendence, and ultimacy. In this vein, it is necessary to recognize the emergence of powerful alternative religious movements that provided spiritual and theological sustenance for the expression of Black faith. This Element offers an historical overview of four of these traditions: Conjure and Spiritualism, the Nation of Islam, the Moorish Science Temple of America, and African American varieties of New Thought. It explores the social and cultural factors in American society and American race relations that bolstered their emergence and considers the impact such movements had and continue to have on ideas about Black selfhood, Black religious authority, and the sacrality of Black bodies.

This book describes the home-school communication experiences of five Latino families in order to showcase the communication challenges Latino parents, and their children, encounter as they navigate the American education system.As former PK-12 practitioners, now educator-preparation program faculty, the authors contend that there is a clear communication gap between a predominantly White teaching and leadership force-teachers, school principals, and counselors-and the Black and Brown student population. Research findings included in this book demonstrate that Latino/a students remain persistent targets of deficit-thinking beliefs, implicit bias, and low-level academic expectations in school settings, and also that positive interactions with teachers, counselors, and school leaders are connected to student cognitive development, creative thinking, and overall student success. Through the family stories and research findings included in this book, this book makes a case for the far-reaching consequences home-school relations have on the overall educational trajectory of the fastest-growing group of students in the United States-Latino/a students.This book provides teacher educators and pre-service teachers with knowledge from the field and connections to scholarly findings so they may be in a more informed position to enact best policies and practices in order to help Latino/a students thrive.

What did audiences want when it came to 'race' on screen in twentieth-century Britain? This was the question that drove producers and makers of film and television as they competed for viewers, and organisations such as the BBC and ITV developed a new field of 'audience research' to address it. Christine Grandy examines how film and television producers, censors and researchers sought to locate audience preferences when it came to presentations of 'race'. Through empire films, home movies and television classics such as Love Thy Neighbour and The Cosby Show, this study explores what was at stake for white British audiences as they consumed material featuring problematic and positive presentations of Black and south Asian people. Race on Screen further uncovers the efforts of Black and south Asian audiences to draw attention to their own roles as overlooked audiences and to name film and television content as racist.

The Humanitarian Fable examines how popular humanitarian communication constructs global poverty as a moral narrative that reinforces unequal power dynamics between the Global North and Global South.Taking a cultural studies approach, the book argues that humanitarian discourse places too much emphasis on the involvement of Global North initiatives, avoiding meaningful engagement with the structural causes of inequality. By critiquing humanitarianism as the dominant framework for understanding global poverty, the author challenges readers to consider alternative approaches grounded in justice, decolonization, and addressing ongoing exploitation.This interdisciplinary text will interest academic researchers, instructors, and students across disciplines including Cultural Studies, International Development Studies, Education, Human Rights, and Communication Studies.

ISBN 978-1-032-80612-9 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Building on recent scholarship that challenges the supposed historical isolation of Eastern European art from the colonial matrix of power, this book critiques the sometimes uncritical application of established Western postcolonial and decolonial theories to the region's visual production.Instead, it advocates for more nuanced, historically grounded methodologies sensitive to Eastern Europe's specific circumstances as a capitalist (semi)periphery and an area shaped by multiple competing empires. Moving beyond Cold War binaries, the essays collectively argue that the region's volatile historical positionalities destabilise rigid theoretical divides between coloniser and colonised, challenge normative understandings of whiteness and indigeneity, and highlight the divergent political trajectories of post-socialism and post-colonialism in artistic practice. Conceptualised as a critical intervention, the volume amplifies voices from the (semi)periphery to make a significant methodological contribution to debates in the global history of art, foregrounding the variegated nature of colonialism itself.The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, colonialism and postcolonialism studies, and Eastern European studies.

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.

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.
