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

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

ISBN 978-1-041-12417-7 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

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

Sefer, Akin, Ottoman Reform at Work: Class, Migration, and Coercion in the Imperial Arsenal. 300 pp. 2026:2 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <755-835>
ISBN 978-1-009-67407-2 hard ¥27,483.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dozier, Curtis, The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate. 288 pp. 2026:2 (Yale U. Pr., US) <755-632>
ISBN 978-0-300-27273-4 hard ¥6,899.- (税込) US$ 32.50

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Race is a fundamental reality of life. It shapes our experiences and interactions whether we are conscious of it or not. But does this mean that humans are wired for racism from birth? Is racial bias inevitable? This sharp-sighted book offers nuanced answers to such impactful questions by unfolding the ways the human brain learns and enables the racial patterning of our societies.Taking advantage of her interdisciplinary expertise in both sociology and the neurosciences, Rengin Firat offers a compelling explanation of how the two-way process between society and the brain shapes racial perceptions, thoughts, and feelings. She shows that we do not have an in-built "race center" in our brain. Racial categorization is a learned capacity, interpreted by our brains through the lens of structural racism and the legacies of slavery and global colonialism.Importantly, this means that racial bias is not unavoidable or fixed. Our brains are malleable. And so Firat uncovers ways to rewire our brains to unlearn racism and also to reduce the physiological harms it causes to individuals. This "inside-out" and "outside-in" approach, merging sociological and neuroscientific understandings, provides a complete story of the racial life of our brains.

人種と人種主義－批判的アプローチ　第4版
Golash-Boza, Tonya, Race and Racism: A Critical Approach. 4th ed. 608 pp. 2026:2 (Oxford U. Pr., US) <755-1096>

The story of race and ethnicity in the US today is one not of discrete racial groups and categories, but is instead a broader story of inequalities and challenges that cross all categories. The traditional "group-by-group" approach to teaching this course does not accurately reflect this story. It can make it a challenge to teach about intersectionality, which is inextricably linked to racial inequality, and it is an approach that does not reflect the lived experience of most students. Students come into this course thinking they "understand" racial inequality, but rarely have an understanding of how the definition of race has changed over time. They also can come away from the course feeling overwhelmed by the amount and depth of racism and inequality that is built into US society. Golash-Boza and Martinez-Cola address these teaching issues and challenges head-on by taking a topical, critical, and contemporary approach that focuses on how and when the idea of race was created and how it developed and changed over time; how structural racism has worked historically to reproduce inequality; how race, class, and gender work together to create inequality and identities; and how racial justice could be imagined and realized.

The second edition of A New History of Asian America offers an expansive, updated synthesis of the Asian American experience, making it essential reading for those seeking a nuanced understanding of Asian America's role in shaping contemporary society.Covering Asian American history from early Orientalist conceptions preceding the United States' founding to the racial reckonings of the 2020s, this work integrates cutting-edge research with enduring historical narratives. Groundbreaking in its approach, the book addresses urgent contemporary issues such as neoliberal multiculturalism, intensified immigration enforcement, and anti-Asian violence, alongside deepened analysis of class, gender, and transnational dynamics. Prominent case studies include post-9/11 racial profiling of Arabs and South Asians, activism during the George Floyd protests, and anti-Asian violence linked to COVID-19 rhetoric. This edition has been thoroughly revised, incorporating significant developments and scholarly innovations of the last decade, while reframing familiar histories to yield fresh insights into structural violence and diasporic agency. The book remains committed to a central claim: that Asian American history is fundamental to understanding broader American histories of race, power, and resistance.Accessible yet rigorous, this book is a vital resource for students, scholars, librarians, booksellers, and general readers alike.

Highlighting hypocrisy of US Civil Rights oppression while fighting for Korean freedom The Korean War is commonly known as the 'forgotten war' because it supposedly had little impact on American culture in comparison to World War II or the American War in Vietnam. Yet from 1950-1953, the conflict produced vigorous anti-war activism, particularly among Black radical women. Informed by their experiences with racism and misogyny within the US, these women were convinced that peace was not just the absence of military aggression, but that it required the liberation of the most oppressed, including the end of capitalist exploitation of women and People of Color and the return of self-determination to colonized peoples- themes that later anti-war activists would echo and develop. Whether or not the Korean War has ever truly been forgotten, the visionary activism of these women has been largely overlooked. In Women March for Peace, Denise Lynn examines the lives of seven Black women- Louise Thompson Patterson, Claudia Jones, Charlotta Bass, Shirley Graham Du Bois, Eslanda Robeson, Lorraine Hansberry, and Beulah Richardson- and their resistance to domestic and foreign US policies during the height of anticommunist hysteria. While much peace scholarship focuses on the threat of nuclear conflict, Lynn instead explores how these women connected issues of civil rights at home with international military campaigns, highlights the hypocrisy of containment policies that sought to secure the freedom and rights for Koreans when US citizens were still oppressed. Lynn traces their peace advocacy through their personal papers, local and national articles, Progressive Party documents, and global conventions. Women March for Peace recovers the radical activism of these Black women to understand a crucial chapter in the fight against American imperialism and white supremacy.

Legacies of Incarceration provides a holistic view of the incarceration experience of Hawai?i's Japanese by exploring the factors that shaped the circumstances of confinement on each island before, during, and after World War II. This book examines residents' experiences on Hawai'i Island, Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i, Kaua'i, and O'ahu, expanding beyond an O'ahu-centric, urban focus to highlight the community impact of incarceration. It addresses the specific conditions and challenges inmates encountered on each island before they were released, transferred to O'ahu, and sent either to Honouliuli or incarceration centers on the American continent. Notably, the pre-war influence of the United States military and the plantations shaped the evolution of the distinctive and inconsistent incarceration policies across the islands, resulting in a diversity of inmate experiences. The author's archival research, in both English and Japanese, reveals these varied perspectives and includes sources such as inmate oral histories, diaries, newspaper interviews, songs, and poetry found in Hawai'i, California, Washington D.C., Maryland, and Hiroshima, Japan. With the conclusion of the war, authorities would lift military regulations and release the remaining prisoners. However, the impact of war and incarceration continued to reverberate throughout Hawai?i. This study ends with the economic, political, and social ascension of the Nisei in the mid-1900s during the Democratic Revolution, detailing the divergent fates of celebrated Nisei veterans and the devastated former inmates. It also invites further research and critique of the outsized impact Japanese residents in Hawai'i continue to wield. As its title suggests, this book ultimately documents the enduring legacies of war that continue to reverberate in various communities within the Islands and beyond, illuminating the impacts of wartime racism.

Black nationalist ideas have been debated and discussed over the centuries, and have shaped black religious, cultural, economic and intellectual thought. But how is black nationalism popularly understood? And how should we reckon with the unique position of black people in the United States, where black nationalism has been fundamentally shaped by the white nationalism expressed in the generations before the Civil War? In this illuminating new book, Jeffrey O. G. Ogbar sheds much-needed light on black community, unity, and cultural, social, and political identity. The story of black nationalism is not limited to "back-to-Africa" Garveyites, or to the religious nationalism of the Nation of Islam. By retelling the story of perhaps the most well-known figure of the movement, Malcolm X, he reveals how internationalism, self-determination, self-defense, and empowerment through the electoral process are the cornerstones of black nationalist thought. More than "racial solidarity" or racial pride, black nationalism in its truest form seeks territorial and political sovereignty-and the (often transnational) efforts to achieve nationhood have brought disparate communities together under the single banner of nationalism. Offering both a panoramic and meticulous history, this lively book is essential reading for any student or scholar of African-American history and U.S. history, as well as anyone who has been curious about the extraordinary reach and impact of black nationalism in contemporary American society.

Pratt, Alexander, Racism in the Enacted Curriculum: Agentic Ideas and the Spaces Between. (Studies in Curriculum Theory Series) 212 pp. 2025:11 (Routledge, UK) <755-1113>

Racism in the Enacted Curriculum chronicles the work of experienced and skilled antiracist educators to explore why even the best-intentioned curricula for resisting racism often fall short. Featuring case studies from different educational contexts across the US, as well as the author's own experiences as a classroom teacher in Chicago Public Schools, it highlights the challenges and frustrations faced by teachers working to implement antiracist curriculum nationwide. To meet these challenges, the author develops a theory rooted in posthumanist and new materialist thought, which understands the role of ideas as agential forces in and of themselves. Included as one of these agents is anti-Black racism, an adaptive force that requires the adaptation of antiracism to resist it. The book concludes with a practical discussion of how teachers might use such a theory to better respond and adapt curricula to combat anti-Black racism. A forward-thinking and timely volume, this book will appeal to researchers and educators interested in modern curriculum theory, posthumanism, teacher education, antiracism, and qualitative research methodology.

ISBN 978-1-041-04444-4 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book explores whether the Arctic serves as a true panacea for immigrants, offering opportunity and renewal, or if it reveals deep vulnerabilities, including isolation, harsh conditions, and exploitation. By examining the intersection of migration, socio-economic development, and climate change, the book uncovers the forces shaping immigrant lives and their role in the Arctic's evolving future.The arctic is one of the most rapidly changing regions on the planet.

It offers new insights into the challenges and opportunities facing immigrant communities and explores broader implications for regional policy, integration, and resilience. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives, from migration studies, environmental sociology, and development theory, the book combines empirical case studies, policy analysis, and narratives from immigrants themselves to present a grounded and comprehensive picture of Arctic migration dynamics. It provides insights on the real-world experiences and structural factors affecting immigrants in the Arctic, unpacking complex relationships between people, place, and policy.This book will be of interest to researchers and policymakers working in fields such as migration studies, political science, environmental studies, sociology, economics, and human geography. It will also be valuable for nonprofit organizations and advocacy groups focused on immigration rights, social justice, law, and human rights.

ISBN 978-1-041-03660-9 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book analyses synchronization as a symptom of the contemporary art world.Acting as a tool within present-day social, economic, and political systems, synchronization assigns individuals to predetermined forms of representation. At its core, the book challenges normative synchronization concepts as projections of a unity of bodies and voices, past and present, self and environment. The text offers a non-linear art historical narrative of those practices which have consistently tried to 'desynchronize' from antisemitism and homophobia. Through thoughtful analysis of art practices from Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, Zanele Muholi, Anna Daucikova, Sharon Hayes, Glenn Ligon, and Chantal Akerman, the author seeks to address the current wish to create contemporaneity for all-often through violence against those perceived as not belonging to it.This book is ideal for researchers and scholars in Art History, Philosophy, Queer Theory, Gender Studies, and Sociology.

This book is a comparative--intergenerational and interregional--history of Asia Minor memories and identities of forced displacement that examines the multilayered relationship between contemporary attitudes and refugee past. In light of the centenary of the Asia Minor population transfer and the current migration and refugee crises, this study explores refugee memories and identities of expulsion, their intergenerational transmission, and the way that people with these memories think about subsequent migrations. While focusing on the case of Greece, the questions that this book addresses are: How have memories of the 192224 forced displacement changed over time from one generation to the next? How do people with these memories and identities think about subsequent migration? Following a regional history approach and an oral history approach, this study draws upon literature from several disciplines and rests upon oral testimony. Specifically, it employs a methodology of collecting primary sources using oral testimonies (262 life history interviews) and archival evidence (5000 oral testimonies) based on three regional case studies, namely the borderland island of Lesvos, Central Macedonia in northern Greece, and Attica. This book argues that refugee identity is a capacious and dynamic platform of ongoing understanding as well as a limited space of domination and competition. Elucidating the attitudes of refugee descendants and unfolding key patterns about the complex role of refugee memory and identity, it brings together the intersection of three interlocking elements: time (refugee generations), place (refugee locations), and subsequent migration (waves of other migrations). In short, A Century of Asia Minor Refugees in Greece sheds light on the convoluted relationship between contemporary attitudes and refugee past, providing a nuanced history of the 1922-24 memories and identities of forced displacement.

ISBN 978-3-658-48861-1 paper ¥17,321.- (税込) EUR 69.99

The migration trajectories of over 122 million displaced people worldwide are increasingly shaping spatial developments and, at the same time, deeply shaped by spatial conditions. This introduction examines that mutual constitution of displacement and space as interrelated social structuring processes. Contributors from academia and practice present key concepts and findings of space-sensitive research on (forced) migration. Their multidisciplinary contributions address spatial formations, racism as a space-structuring factor, spaces of (non-)habitation, the diversity of actors involved in spatial productions, as well as the theoretical foundations and practical challenges of a space-sensitive approach to (forced) migration research. The volume is intended for academics, students and practitioners of urban and migration research, architecture, planning, social, cultural and health sciences as well as social work and public administration.

In Simply Human, leading global hate studies experts join forces, guiding us to a better understanding of human hatred, what works to confront it, what doesn't, and why. Edited by Kenneth Stern, a founder of the field of Hate Studies and the director of the Bard Center for the Study of Hate, this book will change the way you think about how hate affects our lives and our politics. It's "simply human" that we are too often pulled into the seductive comfort of "us versus them" thinking. But that doesn't mean we can't do better as individuals and societies. Simply Human will challenge readers look to at the world in a new light, take action against hate, and put meaning behind their words. This easy-to-read volume, co-created by experts in brain science, political science, social psychology, and philosophy, includes a checklist of key takeaways from each contributor that can be used as an educational tool in classrooms, workplaces, and beyond. Hate is too corrosive for our societies, and costs too much, both morally and economically, for us to continue shooting in the dark. This book provides enlightening perspectives on our relationships to hatred and can be considered a blueprint for sharper thinking and more effective action.

This book is the first to study the language and politics of identity of recent mainland Chinese migrants to Malaysia. Drawing on a variety of fieldwork data, the volume provides an accessible and succinct view of this 'new' transnational migrant community in multilingual Malaysia. Unlike earlier Chinese migrants (the 'old' Chinese communities) who migrated to Malaysia (previously British Malaya) due to experiencing poverty in China, the 'new' Chinese community in Malaysia comprises mainly students, professionals, migrants who participated in the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) programme and individuals who married locals. This book focuses on the experiences of these new migrants from mainland China, how they were received in Malaysian society, the language problems and barriers they faced, their language accommodation and potential linguistic dislocation, their attitudes and identities, whether these shifted over time, and the (in)visibility and social inclusion of these migrants in Malaysian society. It also offers insights and understanding of the dynamic and complex nature of how migrants are inclined towards their 'home' country while adapting to their 'host' society. This book enriches the literature on language use and adaptation in Chinese diaspora communities throughout the world, as well as the politics of language and identity, and it will be of interest to students and scholars of Sociolinguistics, Chinese studies, Asian studies, Migration studies, and Southeast Asian studies.

ISBN 978-981-9812-46-2 hard ¥29,297.- (税込) US$ 138.00

ASCENT TOWARDS PINNACLE - Community Development and Singapore Muslim Identity in Secular State relates the recent history of the Malay-Muslim community (soon after Singapore's independence in 1965 to present times) in its struggle to ascend from the crisis of chronic under-development, serious alienation, and low self-esteem towards becoming an achievement-oriented community, engaged participants in mainstream society and anchored to the idea of the Singapore Muslim Identity (SMI). The community is evolving to be a community of success and a model for other Muslim minority communities. But the Community's story in the early post-independence years was filled with agony, anxiety, pain, and despair. Nevertheless, the community was not defeated and struggled on with 'blood, sweat and tears'. The persistence of self-help eventually paid off and the turning point came twenty-five years after Singapore's independence.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the Rohingya people across South and Southeast Asia, focusing on the often-overlooked experiences of over 1.2 million Rohingya (apart from over half a million living in Myanmar and 1.3 million in Bangladesh) residing in SAARC and ASEAN countries, including India, Pakistan, Nepal, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. It addresses the ongoing fear of further genocidal attacks among those still in Rakhine State and delves into the complex political dynamics and regional responses to the crisis. The book discusses the post-2017 realities of these refugees, exploring their survival strategies, coping mechanisms, and aspirations for a better future. It presents the current conditions faced by the Rohingya, including identity crises, educational challenges, social integration issues, discrimination, and citizenship dilemmas in Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. By illuminating their experiences, it highlights the resilience of the Rohingya, their struggles with scarcity and discrimination, and their unwavering hope for a better future, providing an essential foundation for understanding their complex realities.

ISBN 978-1-349-96079-8 hard ¥27,221.- (税込) EUR 109.99

This book investigates the critical phenomenon of reverse migration during the COVID-19 pandemic in India, revealing the lived experiences of reverse migrant workers amid unprecedented social and economic upheaval. Through a comprehensive study rooted in the context of India's nationwide lockdown, it traces the culture of reverse migration, explores crisis-induced vulnerabilities, and envisions inclusive, empathetic, and transformative policy pathways. Spanning through compelling and insightfully articulated chapters, the volume journeys from conceptual explorations of reverse migration to grounded fieldwork shaped by returnees' anguish, adaptation, and resilience. It uncovers the challenges faced by returning migrants-unemployment, food insecurity, and social marginalisation-and critically evaluates government responses and support systems. The final chapter presents a forward-looking policy framework for sustainable migrant reintegration and economic empowerment. Blending scholarly insight with poignant human narratives, this book is an indispensable resource for researchers, policymakers, and readers seeking to understand reverse migration, crisis resilience, and post-pandemic recovery in India.

As the world faces unprecedented levels of displacement with over 100 million people forced to flee conflict, economic instability and climate crises, responses to migration have become increasingly complex. This book examines the military-humanitarian strategies used to manage the movement of people on the move, focusing on the migration of Venezuelans to northern Brazil. By developing the concept of 'debilitating mobilities,' the book explores mobility governance through border security, urban control and shelter provision. Shedding light on the intersecting logics of aid, security and vulnerability, this book reveals the multiscalar governance of migration in precarious environments.
