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

ISBN 978-1-0353-7364-2 hard ¥24,777.- (税込) GB￡ 85.00

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

ISBN 978-1-0353-5689-8 hard ¥26,235.- (税込) GB￡ 90.00

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

Through ethnographic fieldwork in a multicultural K-5 environment, Abustan discovered practices among young children that counter the traditional educational setup of training students to be individualistic and competitive. In this particular environment, the author finds that the teacher and students draw on disability, queer, critical race, feminist practices like rest and relaxation, building community, and honoring differences to engage in alternative worldmaking.

Friedrichs, Joerg, Integration in Multicultural England: Community Relations between Muslims and Non-Muslims. (Islam of the Global West) 272 pp. 2025:8 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <757-187>
ISBN 978-1-350-55524-2 hard ¥26,235.- (税込) GB￡ 90.00

Positive relations between Muslims and non-Muslims are important for the future, in Britain and beyond. By studying community relations, this book takes an innovative approach that moves beyond mapping "British Muslims" or "British Islam". Instead, Joerg Friedrichs discusses the actual ways Muslims and non-Muslims relate, or fail to relate, where it matters most, namely in diverse inner cities. Is Britain a multicultural country, is it moving towards greater integration, or is this a false dichotomy?Given their unique everyday experience, inner city residents prove to be experts when it comes to community relations. To give them a voice and learn from their experience, the book takes us on a tour of diverse English inner cities. Reassuringly, the grassroots perspective of residents is consistent with a vision of integration in multicultural England. Residents are concerned not so much about hot-button issues like extremism or terrorism. Instead, their minds are set on practical matters: how to coexist peacefully in stressful urban environments, and how to find love and raise families when norms diverge.Caught between grievance and aspiration, inner city residents from any background express disappointment at Muslim and non-Muslim parents sending their children to different schools. They also discuss whether governance should be community-blind or community-based, and if Britain is ready for a Muslim Prime Minister. In all of this, Muslim and non-Muslim residents acknowledge that we live in a multicultural society. For most, however, it does not follow that we should adopt multiculturalism as an ideology. Instead, most people crave and support a move towards greater integration.

ISBN 978-1-032-96433-1 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This volume is the first edited collection that offers various theoretical and analytical perspectives on migration narratives in children's picturebooks. The chapters presented have benefitted from theories such as multimodal social semiotics, systemic-functional multimodal discourse analysis, computer assisted discourse analysis, multimodal critical discourse analysis, cognitive approaches, and conceptual metaphor.The book highlights the affordances of a multimodal approach in illuminating how texts and illustrations do joint semiotic work to encourage young readers' understanding of the difficulties faced by young migrants and thus help young migrants make sense of new languages and settings. The volume foregrounds the importance of critical perspectives in analysing visual narratives of migration in children's picture books, examining both successful and less successful examples of this joint semiotic work at play and in turn, suggestions for improvements for the future. The book makes the case for multimodal perspectives on migration in children's picture books toward promoting equality, diversity, and social acceptance of young migrants and the integration of migration issues in early childhood education.This volume will be of interest to students and scholars in multimodality, discourse analysis, social semiotics, children's literature, and early childhood education.

ISBN 978-1-0353-2536-8 hard ¥26,235.- (税込) GB￡ 90.00

In this timely book, Seth J. Schwartz performs a deep dive into acculturation, the process of adaptation following international migration. Schwartz defines acculturation and explores how interactions between migrants and residents can determine how migrants will adjust to their new environment.Leveraging over 25 years of research into the topic, this book assesses the cultural stressors that many migrants experience in their new homelands. Chapters detail the social and historical background to acculturation and examine how daily processes differ from longer-term progression. Schwartz analyzes the differences between enhancement and crisis migrants, covering the unique challenges that crisis migrants face. He also addresses the impact of acculturation on family relationships, due to the divergence of children adapting more quickly to their surroundings. The book outlines how acculturation can be smooth or stressful, depending on the migrant group and the context, and establishes acculturation as a critical part of migrants' lives.Understanding Acculturation is an essential resource for scholars and students in migration studies, social and cultural psychology, sociology, and development studies. Practitioners and policymakers in politics and public policy will also benefit from its valuable insights.

ISBN 978-1-6669-4934-6 hard ¥26,235.- (税込) GB￡ 90.00

Unveiling the ways racist ideologies were deliberately constructed to sanction economic, emotional, and physical exploitation of Black Americans, this book examines how these stereotypes have been reinforced generationally.Specializing in trauma and health and wellness studies, Shawn Blue examines the structural foundation and psychological makeup of the transatlantic slave trade, and its formation of a system of racial hierarchy that created and perpetuated multiple biases and stereotypes of Black Americans in contemporary society. Slavery, as an institutional concept, has created systemic inequities that shaped and continue to exert power in American society today. Blue offers recommendations for societal systems that create spaces for equitable care and treatment, provides necessary healing interventions for Black Americans, and enforces a commitment to psychological theories that acknowledges the oppressed histories of Black LGBTQIA+ communities. She highlights changes that need to occur in order to restructure the scientific research field and enlist support from the practices of bystander and ally training, advocacy, and activism.

The displacement of people within their own countries due to crises such as conflicts, disasters, and the effects of climate change is a major contemporary challenge, eliciting global concern about how to protect the displaced. The vast scale of this 'internal displacement' poses far-reaching questions for key debates around humanitarian aid, development, migration, sovereignty, rights, citizenship, identity, and social change. Yet knowledge of the issue is fragmented and highly dispersed across a range of academic and policy domains. Bringing together 45 contributions by leading researchers and practitioners, the Oxford Handbook of Internal Displacement provides an essential point of reference for advancing these debates and raising the profile of internal displacement as a vital concern for research and policy agendas. The Handbook addresses eight major areas of debate in this field of research and practice. Part I presents different conceptual understandings of internal displacement from a range of the most relevant disciplinary perspectives, including philosophy and political theory, history, law, geography, and forced migration studies. Part II of the Handbook explores the different drivers of internal displacement, embedding them in their broader social, political, and historical context. Part III addresses major internal displacement dynamics and population trends in different regions of the world. Part IV highlights the material, social and economic consequences of displacement, in terms of poverty, health, education, and housing land for the displaced. Part V addresses lived experiences of internal displacement, underscoring the agency of displaced persons in making sense of and dealing with internal displacement. Part VI of the Handbook addresses key aspects of IDP assistance and protection, including legal and policy frameworks, institutional responses, and policy and operational issues arising in this response. Part VII addresses the 'end' of internal displacement and so-called 'durable solutions' for internally displaced persons, offering compelling insights into how long-term solutions have been handled and hindered in practice. Finally, Part VIII outlines the crucial role of data in understanding and responding to internal displacement.

'An urgent, vital contribution to the feminist conversation - one that tears through the comfortable myth of universal sisterhood' - Alya Mooro, author of The Greater Freedom Growing up, journalist Shahed Ezaydi was often asked how she could call herself a feminist and still practise her faith. It's a question that reveals a deeper issue that Muslim women often face: being ignored in feminist spaces entirely, or cast as passive victims in need of being saved. This mindset fuels gendered Islamophobia and a narrow white feminism. But Muslim women don't need rescuing. The Othered Woman is the book Ezaydi wishes her younger self could have turned to. It challenges the myths of how Muslim women are oppressed and who by, and shows that these myths translate into very real harm both in Britain and around the world, showcasing the voices of intersectional feminists who are fighting for liberation on their own terms. Accessible and compelling, this is urgent reading for anyone who considers themselves a feminist.

Fay, Peter / Southern, Valerie J., A Peaceful Patch of Earth: Blacks in Jamestown, Rhode Island in a Time of Racial Turbulence in America, 1850-1920. 160 pp. 2026:1 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <757-1625>
ISBN 978-0-7618-8075-2 paper ¥4,369.- (税込) GB￡ 14.99

In Jamestown, a thriving Black community took root far earlier, in the late 19th century. A Peaceful Patch of Earth explores their remarkable journey in a time marked by racial turbulence in America. The story unfolds on a rustic island jutting into the vast Atlantic from Narragansett Bay, accessible only by boat and sheltered from the outside world. Through captivating narrative and in-depth research, the book brings to life the island's pioneering figures such as James Howland, one of Rhode Island's last survivors of slavery, and the Champlin family members who rose from slavery, established the first Black-owned farm, and were the first island Blacks to vote. The community lived within view of historic Newport; a city that controlled 70% of the American-owned slave trade in the 18th century and where their African ancestors disembarked into bondage. By the 19th century, Jamestown Blacks lived free and cultivated a community that offered refuge to the tide of newly freed survivors of slavery migrating from the South. Together they forged the social, cultural, and economic fabric of a multiracial rural New England. More than simply a local history, A Peaceful Patch of Earth also documents the rise and response of Black America to the racial oppression and explosive changes shaping the nation before and after the Civil War, from 1850 to 1920. The authors connect Rhode Island to pivotal events in history and underscore its presence and contributions to the national struggle for freedom and civil rights, such as Isaac Rice's warm embrace of frightened Underground Railroad freedom seekers in Newport and the training of nearly two thousand Black Civil War soldiers on Dutch Island near Jamestown.

Minca, Claudio / Weima, Yolanda (eds.), Thinking Like a Route: Counter-geographies of Informal Migration in the Balkans. (Counter-geographies of the Refugee Balkan Route) 210 pp. 2026:1 (E. Elgar, UK) <757-1633>
ISBN 978-1-0353-8429-7 hard ¥27,692.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

This timely book posits the idea of a 'route perspective' as a multi-scalar methodology for studying informal migration. Claudio Minca, Yolanda Weima and their contributors draw on their rich multi-sited, multi-temporal ethnographic research along the Balkan Route, the most important informal overland migration route in Europe, to better understand how it is continuously formed through an ever-changing assemblage of spatialities, trajectories, materialities and actors.Presenting a novel approach to researching the complex spaces of the Balkan Route, chapters first trace the key elements of the route's formal infrastructure from a state perspective, including camps, border walls, and asylum systems, which highlights, in-turn, what is made invisible by the official state gaze. The authors then use their empirical findings at key sites to underscore the tenacious counter-geographies of people-on-the-move.Thinking Like a Route is a vital read for students and researchers of human geography, especially political geography, interested in informal migration. It is also an important reference for academics in interdisciplinary migration, refugee and camp studies, as well as those with a focus on Balkan and Eastern European studies.

Monde, Geniece Crawford / Stringer, E. C. (eds.), Spaces for Resistance: Black Feminist Theory and Praxis in Academia and Beyond. 320 pp. 2026:2 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <757-1634>
ISBN 978-1-6669-6361-8 hard ¥27,692.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

Using autoethnography, this book answers the Black feminist call to talk back to systems of oppression and highlight agency and resistance of Black women.Editors Geniece Crawford Monde and Ebonie Cunningham Stringer explore the varied ways in which Black feminism is understood, applied, and expressed across disciplinary backgrounds. Drawing from the perspectives of both academics and scholar-practitioners, they examine how these paradigms bear relevance on timely issues, like socially-engaged scholarship, work-life balance, and navigating challenging social, academic, and political contexts. This book is divided into five thematic sections. Part one examines Black feminism as a tool for liberatory pedagogical praxis. Part two creates a space for Black women whose work and experiences both inform and extend the Black feminist perspective beyond the United States. Part three provides insight into the factors that shape Black women's most important relationships and the conflicting priorities that compete for their attention. Part four explores how Black women are able to incorporate their ideals into their professional workplace. Part five highlights the ways in which Black feminism emerges from and is sustained within communities. By bringing these perspectives together, Monde, Stringer, and the contributors critically examine the complex ways in which Black feminist scholarship has continued to shape our understanding of the world today.

Musasizi, Arunachalam and Forbes-Mewett take a sociological approach to explore the complexities of cultural proximity and how it intersects with situational factors such as social, economic and historical events to influence refugee-host relations in Uganda.Drawing on the everyday lived experiences of host community members, cultural leaders, local political and refugee leaders, and relief organisations, including UNHCR, this book examines how cultural affinities between host communities and different refugee groups intersect with situational and structural factors to shape refugee-host relations. The book problematises viewing refugees as a homogeneous group and applies the insider and outsider theory to explore factors that underlie inclusion and exclusion in host communities' relations with different refugee groups. Some refugee groups not only are socially, culturally and ideologically distant from locals but also practise forms of livelihoods which, in the hosts' view, threaten economic life in the host communities. The host communities are particularly threatened by the cultural incongruence, which is believed to interfere with their way of life. The book provides knowledge and understanding of the complex and multifaceted nature of refugee-host relations and offers key insights for guiding policy and practice, especially in countries that host large refugee populations.A valuable resource for researchers and academics in sociology, migration and refugee studies, and those interested to understand how cultural proximity influences refugee-host relations and how the diverse nature of refugees shapes their relations with host state and communities.

Arab American Women, Identity, and Intersectionality extends postcolonial feminist theory to include intersectionally marginalized bodies in the classroom and in social science discourse. In a climate where the Arab, Muslim, woman's identity is both policed and politicized, Shakeir examines the ways in which Arab American Muslim women navigate the public space, from the university to their professional lives. Authenticity, self-policing, and performance are all examined intergenerationally, to reflect on the survivance of the Arab identity across both decades and oceans. The book acts equally as a methodological and instructional guide for students and theorists, and also uses first-person testimonials and stories from Arab American Muslim women for anyone willing to expand their perspective.

ISBN 978-1-032-72130-9 hard ¥42,267.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

The volume explores the role of refugees and Displaced Persons (DPs) in Europe after 1945. It expands conventional narratives about post-National Socialist societies, which are characterized by victim myths, narratives of Truemmerfrauen (rubble women), and the reconstruction of supposedly homogeneous societies.Using analyses informed by new approaches in cultural studies and digital humanities, the authors enhance studies of refugees and DPs' ways of living and their interactions with their surrounding societies. Relying on microhistorical perspectives, the case studies are focusing on both, post-National Socialist societies and exile communities and thus contribute to a better understanding of everyday life. The book locates itself at the intersection of Migration Studies, Gender Studies, Emotion Studies, and the History of Knowledge and focuses on the following key questions: How did family members reconnect with individuals liberated from concentration camps? How did they communicate about the choice of new places to live? How did exile communities reorganize themselves after the end of the war?This volume explores diverse experiences in the post-1945 world that have been shaping not only the European societies but have also been influencing our present legal and societal understandings and interpretations on a global scale.

This collection examines various types of displacement, reasons for migration, and rebuilding after forced migration in Africa. In Migration and Displacement in Africa: Social Exclusion, Intergenerational Healing, and Communal Restoration, Abdul Karim Bangura and the contributors provide an interdisciplinary analysis of the nexus between migration and displacement. Over the past decades, climate change, globalization, technology, and governance on the continent has changed significantly, impacting communities as well as individuals and contributing to changes in both voluntary and forced migration. In this volume, the contributors unpack recent developments in migration studies. They discuss the legacies of colonialism and neocolonialism, climate change displacement, environmental migration, religious-orientation as motivation for migration, LGBTQIA+ displacement, homelessness, and displacement due to violence and public health emergencies. They examine migrant identity reconstruction, how Sankofa relates to migration and displacement, communal restoration after forced migration, COVID-19 and its impact on migrants, migration as represented in literature, the migration of youth, and bridging distances using digital technology. Bangura and the contributors argue that understanding migration and displacement in Africa requires a multifaceted approach which this collection uses to highlight the complex nature of migration and displacement issues today. This book is suitable for scholars, professors, students, and policy makers in African studies and other social and behavioral sciences.

ISBN 978-1-6669-6848-4 hard ¥27,692.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

This book expands notions of the Caribbean diaspora, which is often cast in very specific ways, so as to account for the Asian as part of the Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora. It seeks to be descriptive, while also countering a limited discourse on the Caribbean diaspora.The Asian Caribbean in the Caribbean Diaspora is grounded in the very histories and legacies of indentureship, contract labor, later migrations to the region, and encounter. The Asian presence has long been felt in the greater Caribbean - the result of colonial powers which necessitated labor on Caribbean plantations against the backdrop of empire and burgeoning capitalist structures; and later migrations as free migrants compelled by emigration schemes and economic opportunity. This work is descriptive, while also countering a limited discourse on the Caribbean diaspora. Its collection of interdisciplinary chapters which center the Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Javanese in and outside of the Caribbean, reveal migration narratives, encounters on Caribbean plantations and in diasporic urban centers, notions of homeland and experiences of return, family histories, identity formation and subjectivity, the ways in which Caribbean people create and convey meaning about these histories, experiences and self, and the contributions of Caribbean people of Asian descent to the framing of the Caribbean and Asian diasporas.

A groundbreaking exploration of postwar Caribbean migration to Britain, Oceans of Feeling offers the first historical analysis of this defining moment in modern British history using the tools, methods, and theories of the history of emotions. Decoding the emotional experiences and expressions of Windrush-era Caribbean migrants, this book reconstructs the migrant experience by asking not just what happened, but how it felt - individually and collectively - and how these feelings shaped and configured the course of historical events.Taking cues from spatial studies, the history of the senses, and the history of the body, Ryan Walmsley charts a rich and affectively meaningful course through the experiential content of the migrant condition in a specific historical moment. From the emotional bonds of the 'Mother Country' ideology to the unique affective-sensory atmospheres of transatlantic liners bound for Britain, Oceans of Feeling reveals exciting new dimensions to Windrush-era migration which have been masked under the canopies of social and political approaches.A reflection of the history of emotions' power to revivify historical narratives, this book interrogates the emotional causes and consequences of racist violence. In doing so, it reframes racism as a cluster of specific emotional concepts and expressions, which provides fascinating insights into the lives of Caribbean migrants in this period. This includes linking the disproportionate designation of Caribbean children as 'educationally subnormal' in British schools to a constellation of emotional stereotypes and experiences. It also explores private spaces, such as dub and reggae house parties, which migrants constructed as emotional refuge from the hostile atmosphere of public spaces, and demonstrates how love and sex were politicised in the increasingly racialised atmosphere of postwar Britain.

This book stands as the first comprehensive English-language scholarly book dedicated to the dynamic and multifaceted aspects of Japanese Migrations to Australia.By offering an extensive and up to-date analysis of migration trends this book addresses a significant void in academic research. Structured into two parts, the book offers an in-depth exploration of various aspects of this migration. Firstly, by examining contemporary migration patterns including Working Holiday Makers (WHMs), partnership-based migrants and Japanese Australian youths, the book unsettles cultural essentialist and national exceptionalist narratives. Additionally, through investigations of Australian tourism, the role of Japanese restaurants in cultural exchange and the artistic expressions within the Nikkei Australian community, the book reveals the diverse contributions and interactions of Japanese communities in Australia and the bilateral influences of Japan. It also critically engages with the monolithic concept of 'community' through specific sectors and previously understudied groups including Japanese-Indigenous Australians and LGBTQ+ migrants, analysing how personal narratives align with or diverge from policy frameworks and offering new perspectives on identity and belonging in transnational contexts.Combining empirical research with theoretical analysis, the book is not only an academic resource but also a useful reference for policymakers. By offering new perspectives and policy recommendations, it is an invaluable tool for understanding and adapting to the evolving patterns of Japanese migrations to Australia, making a substantial contribution to the fields of Japanese, migration and Australian studies.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

イギリスにおける南アジアの子どもの移民の歴史
Mukherjee, Sumita, Imperial Footprints: A History of South Asian Child Migrants in Britain. 288 pp. 2026:2 (Hurst, UK) <757-1306>
ISBN 978-1-80526-528-3 paper ¥5,826.- (税込) GB￡ 19.99

From the Victorian era to Partition, Mukherjee uncovers the unique experiences of the very youngest South Asian migrants to Britain. Between 1857 and 1947, over 28 million Indians left the subcontinent to live, work and study elsewhere. Today, India has the largest diaspora in the world, with approximately 18 million Indians living overseas. Though often absent from historical narratives, migrant children were instrumental during the time of the British Empire in the development not only of Indian national and diasporic identities, but of British identity too. These children were marginalised by their political status, their race and their age; yet they were fundamental to historical change, from the 1830s through to independence in 1947. Imperial Footprints vividly charts this history of emigration from British India to the imperial heartland, through the eyes of its youngest participants. From pupils sent to English boarding schools and runaway servants, to sailor children and refugees of war or Partition, Sumita Mukherjee reveals that these child migrants were crucial players in founding Indian communities abroad. Drawing on archival records and firsthand accounts, she offers a portrait of migration to Britain that pre-dated the larger waves of arrivals post-war. Imperial Footprints challenges the assumptions of the historical voices we often foreground; reflects on post-colonial legacies; and offers a fascinating new perspective on migration and empire.

Why has Palestine become a defining fault line of contemporary politics?Challenging mainstream narratives that reduce Palestine to ancient hatreds, humanitarian tragedy, or legal abstractions, Resisting Erasure places Israeli settler-colonialism within the broader historical arc of imperialism, race, and fossil capitalism in the Middle East.Resisting Erasure is a succinct and far-reaching critique of the socio-economic and political forces that sustain the Israeli settler-colonial project. An essential introduction for anyone looking to understand what Palestine reveals about the world - and what it demands of us today.

Garrison, Arthur H., The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era. 416 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <757-1147>

American political history has a rhythm and a progression. Part of that progression is White populist anger and resentment. In the Revolutionary Era, it was the resentment of elites in Britain that presumed to tell the colonists, who they viewed as subjects, not citizens, that they were subject to taxes and domination of Great Britain. These colonists refused to be treated as "slaves" and revolted. By the 1850s, populist resentment was transferred to the national government because it told the freedom-loving, individual liberty-defending, slave owning South that slavery was, per se, evil and would not be allowed to spread into the west. To these "fanatics" who sought power over the Southern Christian way of life, as Lincoln said, "war came." Both before and after suffering defeat, the poor White Southern male was told that he was equal with the elites of the Southern slave aristocracy because both were White and superior to all Blacks. As Dr. King said in his Selma speech, the food of racism was fed to him when his stomach cried out due to his poverty. This resentment found a new iteration when the national government, using the power of the courts and the army, ended a century of Jim Crow forcing the White voters in Congressman Jim Jordan's flyover country to live with Blacks as equals under the law. In 1969, Newsweek famously depicted the "Forgotten American" in this new social-engineered America and the resentment of the imposed change in the cultural society the White voter was required to live in by the late 1960s through the 1970s. These voters resented that the America they now lived in was not the one they grew up in. The loss of "their" America was attributed to the federal government being controlled by social elites in Washington D.C. as well as Wall Street elites who asserted free trade and moved the factory jobs of the forgotten man overseas.The Forgotten Man and White Populist Resentment: Power, Politics, and Narrative Dominance in the Trump Era traces how the Republican Party, beginning with the 1948 revolt of Southern Democrats under Strom Thurmond, adopted White populist resentment and transitioned the White non-college educated flyover voter into the Republican Party under George Wallace, Barry Goldwater, and Richard Nixon. This book examines how this White populism rose to dominate the Republican Party primary base, how the populist campaigns of Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich paved the way for the rise of Donald Trump, and how he maintains narrative dominance over both parties and American political discourse.

名誉毀損防止同盟
Gelman, Emmaia / Schotten, Heike (eds.), The Anti-Defamation League: A Critical Reader. 208 pp. 2026:8 (Pluto Pr., UK) <757-1148>

For over a century, the Anti-Defamation League has been regarded as one of the most prominent civil rights watchdogs in the United States, dedicated to fighting white supremacy, antisemitism, and extremism. Its data informs law enforcement. Its trainings shape classrooms. And its talking points influence the headlines. But behind the ADL's progressive image lies a very different reality. The Anti-Defimation Leage: A Critical Reader brings together a collective of scholars, organizers, and activists to expose the ADL as a deeply reactionary and conservative force in American politics. From its roots in a Cold War-era framework of Western supremacy and settler colonialism, to its modern day support for militarized policing, surveillance, and the repression of Palestinian rights, the ADL has long advanced a vision of justice rooted in empire, not liberation. Contributors trace how the ADL has weaponized the charge of antisemitism to shield itself from criticism, silence dissent, and undermine movements for racial justice, Palestinian freedom, and collective safety. As the call to #DropTheADL grows louder, so too does the need for urgent reflection and action.

H.P.ニュートンの政治思想
Narayan, John, Only the People Make Revolutions: The Political Thought of Huey P. Newton. (Black Critique) 160 pp. 2026:8 (Pluto Pr., UK) <757-1090>
ISBN 978-0-7453-5168-1 paper ¥5,535.- (税込) GB￡ 18.99

Huey P. Newton has always been something of an intellectual enigma. Famous for co-founding the Black Panther Party in 1966 in Oakland, California, as a revolutionary leader he undertook armed resistance against the racist state. His role as a political theorist, however, remains underexplored. Today, revolutionary theories of the Black Power movement are being reappraised by a new generation of scholars. Here, John Narayan reclaims Newton's place as one of the most neglected neo-Marxists of the twentieth century. By exploring Newton's unpublished archives, Narayan shows how he linked the oppression of Black Americans with the logic and machinations of a newly formed, US-enforced, global capitalist empire, long before others did, providing powerful insights into the nature of anti-racism and anti-imperialism which resonate deeply in today's age of capitalist crisis.

日本企業における女性と移民
Holbrow, Hilary J., The Future Is Foreign: Women and Immigrants in Corporate Japan. 288 pp. 2025:12 (Cornell U. Pr., US) <100-6622>

Japan is at the forefront of global population decline. The Future Is Foreign investigates how elite Japanese firms are responding to this unprecedented challenge. Hilary Holbrow argues that labor shortages push Japanese firms to hire more immigrants and women, and to ease excessive demands on all workers. At the same time, not all employees benefit equally. Japanese women's enduring overrepresentation in low-status clerical roles reinforces gender biases that hold all women back. In contrast, the small but growing presence of white-collar Asian immigrant workers weakens the ethnic prejudices of their Japanese colleagues. Despite Japan's reputation for xenophobia, white-collar immigrant men disproportionally reap the dividends of Japan's shrinking population. The Future Is Foreign sheds new light into the processes that perpetuate inequality in Japanese firms, and in organizations worldwide. While managers and policymakers often assume that increasing women and minorities' representation in leadership will erode prejudice, Holbrow reveals that the people we see when we "look down" the organizational hierarchy are more important to the social construction of bias than are the people we see when we "look up."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
