Introducing and engaging with womanist frameworks to center the lives of Global South women who live under colonial oppressions, this collection centers the consciousness, spirituality, philosophy, wisdom, community institutions, and ecologies found in a variety of Global South regions and diasporas.Diasporic Womanist Sociology offers a decolonial approach to critical research, interpretive frameworks, pedagogy, mentorship, activism, and building academia-community collectives of solidarity, presenting womanism as a practical framework for personal and professional development for sociologists and scholars in other fields. With contributors from South Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and North America, this book draws on tenets of womanism to shape their practice and engagement with students, scholars, and activists, especially those of the Global South and its diasporas.This volume makes critical contributions to fields ranging from Gender and Women Studies, Race and Ethnic Studies, and Decolonial and Postcolonial Theory, and can be assigned to undergraduate and graduate students to explore the foundational work of Black Feminism and gender non-conforming people of color and an inclusive framework of identity, spirituality, and pursuit of social justice.

タジキスタンにおける国際移民管理
Bahovadinova, Malika, Making Migrants: International Migration Management in Tajikistan. 277 pp. 2026:4 (U. Pennsylvania Pr., US) <765-952>

How officials in bureaucratic institutions in Tajikistan, though well-meaning, create a postcolonial, problematic "migrant"Making Migrants explores the postcolonial life of institutions and law in Tajikistan, finding that bureaucratic spaces render people who seek to work abroad into the subjective construct of a "migrant." Anthropologist Malika Bahovadinova argues that this category describes not an individual, but a broader process of government regulation and control. Both structural and literal violence is entrenched in the bureaucratic process, which, in our increasingly mobile world, unfolds in a hostile global context where nation-states seek to make the figure of the "migrant" an "illegal" one.Through an examination of migration officials' day-to-day work facilitating migration from Tajikistan to Russia, Bahovadinova reveals how 10 percent of Tajikistan's population has moved to Russia in search of stronger economic opportunities. She finds that officials face steep challenges in this work as they grapple with deeply unequal and asymmetrical relationships with Russia, donor states, and international experts, while coming face-to-face with postcolonial legacies from the Soviet past. By exploring relationships between history, pedagogy, and law in migration bureaucracy, Bahovadinova highlights the limited possibilities available to officials in global migration management, asks how governmental ideas and practices develop, and uncovers the challenges that transnational citizens face when they leave their countries to work without forfeiting their original citizenship.This case shows how postcolonial countries that export workers introduce and replicate colonial rationalities that understand laborers as "migrants" or "illegals" in receiving states. By attaching the term "illegal" to people from a former colony, Russia shapes representations of Tajikistan's citizens as inherently potentially criminal and dangerous "others," while benefitting from their temporary labor. Ultimately, Making Migrants uncovers how introducing and performing "migration management" in a postcolonial environment aligns with and reinforces colonial rationalities about people, labor, economic opportunity, and bureaucratic authority.

Grounded in long-term ethnography, Refugees Together and Citizens Apart examines how dispossessed Palestinians experience and seek to resist Israeli coercive differentiation through the study of two areas with intertwined histories of forced displacement: the segregated Palestinian districts of Lyd (renamed Lod), and the Jalazone refugee camp in the West Bank. This book brings together the securitized policing that Palestinians experience today in Lyd and the layers of militarism, humanitarianism, and PA rule that Palestinians are forced to negotiate in Jalazone. Melding Palestine Studies and Bourdieusian sociology of settler colonialism, the book connects coercive control, collective emotions, and political life, and argues that how coercive control is exercised, by whom, and against whom matters for how dispossessed Palestinians strive to (re)build affective and political worlds locally and globally. Refugees Together and Citizens Apart compares the emotional climate of fear, distrust, stigma, and frustration at communal frailty in Lyd's segregated Palestinian districts with the defiant defensive togetherness in Jalazone, examining how these two emotional climates are conductive to different forms of political life. The book supplements the comparative lens with a cross-border perspective attentive not only to the historical but also familial and social ties between the two localities. Crossing Israeli borders of coercive control, this book highlights the role of legal status, place, and class in structures, experiences, and refusals of coercive differentiation. Along the way, it illuminates how the violent dismemberment of the Palestinian body politic is reproduced and the collective struggle for liberation articulated at the Palestinian margins.

The demise of the 'racial reckoning' that followed George Floyd's death in 2020 occurred without definition, scrutiny or attempts to revive it. In this compelling new book, David Dante Troutt explores the 'what,' 'so what' and 'now what' of this period when much of the US sidelined the pandemic to confront racial inequality. It details how a rare focus on embedded racism shifted toward awareness, leaving deep disparities in wealth, health and policing unaddressed, and how this was overpowered by an enduring conservative backlash. Troutt unpacks how legal doctrine favored colorblindness over inequality, and examines government policies that created segregated zones of racial bargaining in health and wealth. The book also exposes deterrence-proof policing rules and explains the problems and promises of DEI. Reckoning the Racial Reckoning argues that democratic struggles over local resources are essential for creating justice and well-being for Black American communities, and ultimately for all Americans.

Latino Families in Later Life is a comprehensive look at the issues, dilemmas, and conditions faced by older Latinos and their caregivers, with salient consideration given to key changes shaping the need for assistance and the availability of support.Jacqueline L. Angel and Sunshine Rote address a nascent caregiving crisis at a time when an aging population is set to outnumber younger adults in the United States. Though many older adults in need of care currently receive support from family members, friends, and neighbors, demographic trends portend such kin-based forms of care may not be as readily available in the future. Against this backdrop, the authors examine the caregiving experience broadly, as one shaped by cultural values, economic conditions, and structural inequities. Focusing on Latinos and Latino families in particular, the book attends to key transitions such as migration, the onset of health conditions, and changes in living arrangements, revealing culturally specific forms of resilience and engagement among caregivers and care recipients-and also significant challenges. As demographic, social, and financial circumstances change and pressures mount, the authors advocate for a "new caregiver paradigm" reflecting a supportive and sustainable ecology that is culturally responsive and essential for long-term care routes in the United States.With important revelations about the dual experiences of older adults and those who care for them, Latino Families in Later Life is insightful reading for students, scholars, and advocates interested in aging, health, family support, and care work.

The anthology brings racial capitalism to bear on the archetype of welfare capitalism - the Swedish model, referred to as the 'Nordic Model'. We do this with the aim of qualifying and challenging some institutionalised understandings of welfare capitalism represented by Sweden and, to a lesser extent, Finland. Few studies have focused on continental Europe or the Nordic region. In this edited volume, the focus is on theoretically inspired and empirically grounded analyses of Sweden in the Nordic context, exploring the Swedish capitalist welfare model from a perspective that places processes of racialisation and racial regimes at centre stage. Contributors are: Anuhya Bobba, Nicolina Ewards OEberg, Mattias Gardell, Dionysia Jia Ying Kang, Ilhan Kellecioglu, Karin Krifors, Edda Manga, Irene Molina, Diana Mulinari, Paula Maria Mulinari, Anders Neergaard, Carl-Ulrik Schierup, Claudia Tazreiter, Sima Nurali Wolgast, Martin Nurali Wolgast and Aleksandra Alund.

This timely volume offers a comprehensive analysis of the detrimental impact of restrictive policies and laws inhibiting discussions on race and identity, especially on marginalized communities, and proposes a transformative model for racial reconciliation.The book seeks to redefine the narrative surrounding race in America by dismantling entrenched white supremacist ideologies and fostering genuine dialogue around historical and contemporary racial injustices. Drawing on the principles of critical race theory, the authors present a framework that encourages readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the role of systemic racism in shaping societal norms and hierarchies. By acknowledging the intergenerational harm and trauma inflicted by white supremacy, the book charts a path towards healing and restoration for communities of color. One of the book's key contributions lies in its articulation of the Third Reconstruction era, a period marked by renewed efforts towards racial justice. Against the backdrop of this transformative era, the authors offer practical strategies for operationalizing their racial justice model, empowering readers to challenge oppressive systems and promote equity within their spheres of influence.Whether in educational institutions, corporate settings, or community organizations, the principles outlined in this book provide a roadmap for fostering inclusive environments grounded in social justice values.

Handbook of Race, Equity, and Asset-Based Research in Educational Psychology offers a profound vision of contemporary educational psychology scholarship, practice, policy, teaching, and research design that is both informed by and empowering of social justice.Despite the ubiquity of educational psychology's body of knowledge, the discipline has long neglected the academic success, well-being, and other outcomes of historically and systemically marginalized learners and research partners, and the field remains complicit in imposing normative standards and social stratification on diverse populations. This expansive and rigorous volume charts a new course in educational psychology that supports equity-focused research agendas, refined theoretical syntheses, and meaningful attention to the complexities of race, culture, and class. Each chapter vividly contextualizes critical approaches to theory, methodology, philosophy, pedagogy, and other topics, including through direct integration of decolonial, socioecological, translingual, trauma-informed, and community-engaged praxis.The book's substantive and deeply considered contributions amount to a significant scholarly reckoning with the exclusionary hierarchies that pervade the field today and an exciting articulation of its future.

This new edition of Black Feminist Sociology offers revised and updated chapters on the history, contours, and prospects of the Black feminist tradition in sociology. This volume offers new writings by established and emerging scholars working in a Black feminist tradition that provide important attention to transnational Black feminist perspectives, Black feminist sociological abolition, and Black feminist sociology in connection to other women of color feminisms. As well, this new edition incorporates further pedagogical enhancements, such as an instructor's appendix that includes examples that map how to use the text in the classroom, questions to consider, and links to digital resources. The book overall centers Black feminist sociology (BFS) within the sociology canon and widens it to feature Black feminist sociologists both outside the US and the academy. Inspired by a BFS lens, the chapters are critical, personal, political and oriented toward social justice. Key themes include the origins of BFS, expositions of BFS orientations to research that extend disciplinary norms, and contradictions of the pleasures and costs of such an approach both academically and personally. Authors explore their own sociological legacy of intellectual development to raise critical questions of intellectual thought and self-reflexivity.The book highlights the dynamism of BFS so future generations of scholars can expand upon and beyond the book's key themes. This new edition will be an essential and valuable resource for students and instructors in introductory and intermediate courses in sociology, social theory, race and ethnic studies, Black studies, feminist and womanist studies, and cultural studies.

Break the silence and inaction that perpetuate racism in everyday life When racist incidents occur, they're too often met with silence - perpetrators remain unaware, targets feel powerless, bystanders freeze, and allies hesitate. Breaking the Deadly Dance of Racism provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how these four roles maintain racism and offers concrete intervention strategies. Drawing on decades of research, psychologists Derald W. Sue and Lisa B. Spanierman reveal the hidden scripts keeping racism thriving. The book examines unique barriers each role faces - from perpetrators' defensive reactions to targets' racial trauma to bystanders' diffusion of responsibility to allies' performative gestures. Readers discover how cultural scripts like color-blind ideology protect racism from challenge, and learn detailed microintervention strategies for making racism visible, disarming biased behavior, educating offenders, and mobilizing support. The book also offers: Evidence-based guidance for developing critical consciousness about how racism operates at individual, institutional, and cultural levelsConcrete strategies for overcoming the fear, uncertainty, and social costs that prevent people from taking anti-racist actionDetailed intervention tactics tailored to the specific challenges faced by perpetrators, targets, bystanders, and alliesPractical approaches for combating both everyday microaggressions and systemic macroaggressions in organizations and societyFoundational practices for racial socialization that help parents and educators raise antiracist children through microprotections Essential reading for educators, mental health practitioners, diversity consultants, and activists, Breaking the Deadly Dance of Racism transforms abstract commitments into actionable strategies. By revealing how silence makes us complicit and providing specific intervention tools, this book empowers readers to break the deadly dance.

The Routledge Handbook of Race and Equity in Applied Linguistics provides an authoritative overview of research on racial and epistemic inequities in TESOL and applied linguistics. It focuses on intersecting systems of oppression in institutional, pedagogical, curricular, and policy spaces.Across 27 chapters, contributors critically examine everyday policies and practices, such as hiring bias and discriminatory job ads, which disadvantage multilingual learners and teachers, while amplifying agentive voices seeking change. Organized into four parts and spanning the geographic and epistemic Global South and North, the Handbook is both critique and praxis: it offers practical tools for valuing students' full repertoires, challenging native-speaker norms, redesigning curricula and assessment, and linking classroom decisions to program and policy reform. It adopts diverse and groundbreaking lenses-linguistic racism, native-speakerism, commodified hiring, translanguaging, phenomenology, pedagogy of love, Ebunlingualism, decolonial hermeneutics, intersectionality, and critical ethnographies-that counter linguistic, epistemic, racial, and institutional hegemonies.This timely handbook charts a clear decolonial path for students and scholars in TESOL, Applied Linguistics, and Education, while equipping educators and policymakers with the tools to build more just and inclusive environments.

Schrijvers, Lieke L., Conversion, Gender, Race: A Comparative Study of Women Becoming Jewish, Christian, and Muslim in the Netherlands. (Gendering the Study of Religion in the Social Sciences) 208 pp. 2026:6 (Routledge, UK) <765-107>
ISBN 978-1-032-65649-6 hard ¥47,910.- (税込) GB￡ 155.00

This book explores the intersections of religion, gender, sexuality and race in the everyday lives of female converts in the Netherlands. In a unique comparative approach, it is based on ethnographic research in Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities. What does it mean to join a religious community as a woman in a largely secularized country? How does gender impact processes of religious conversion? How can we understand processes of racialization of converts who join a minority group? The book highlights how the formation of a religious self is shaped by gender and vice versa at the level of religious community, families and individual embodiments. It considers the apparent paradox in women's conversion: When secular women join religious groups associated with gender conservatism, they are often perceived as lacking agency, or using their conversion primarily for external reasons (such as marriage). Underneath this assumption is a strong idea that 'secularity' offers women their freedom, whilst 'traditional religions' would limit women's emancipation and freedom. Drawing on insights from gender studies and religious studies, the author critically reflects on concepts and theories about women's religiosity, conversion, and the role of gender and sexuality in the construction of a religion/secular binary. The study offers fresh and nuanced insight into the similarities between religious groups, which are usually examined individually. At the same time, it recognizes that the social context and difference in social position of the three groups studied have a deep impact on the process of conversion. The book includes analysis of how new Jewish and Muslim women deal with the experience of becoming a (racialized) minority in the Netherlands, as well as how the comparison with the experiences of Christian women reflect on Christian privilege.

This book offers a unique and accessible study of migrant writing in the Swedish context. Sweden used to be renowned for its welcoming migration policy. This changed abruptly with the migration crisis in 2015 when refugees arrived in big numbers. An anti-immigration atmosphere grew stronger, supported by an expanding right-wing party. Yet to some Swedes, experiences of exclusion, even racism, were nothing new. As evident in fiction and opinion pieces by writers born in Sweden to immigrant parents, or having moved there as children, such experiences are nothing new. Throughout the book anthropologist Helena Wulff explores writing about diversity as craft and career: learning to write, getting published, breaking through and building reputation, getting prizes, dealing with competition, and performing one's literature in public. Since some of this work is translated into other languages, creative translation is considered, as are future scenarios, a recurrent topic in migrant writing. Combining evocative ethnography with a scrutiny of texts, Wulff argues that these writers educate mainstream Swedes about their own society. Ultimately, the book is about the impact of literature on society. It will be of particular interest to scholars and students in anthropology, sociology, comparative literature, migration studies and beyond.

How Our Restless Ancestors Shaped the Interconnected World We Live in Today First Migrants Revisited: Ancient Migration in Global Perspective reveals how human and hominin migrations over the past five million years shaped the world we inhabit today. Peter Bellwood synthesises insights from archaeology, palaeoanthropology, genetics, and linguistics to trace humanity's earliest movements - from the first African expansions to the global spread of agriculture. The book reveals how migration redistributed the results of biological and cultural evolution, transforming societies and environments in every corner of the globe. Bringing together decades of scholarship, Bellwood challenges simplistic narratives of ancient migration as random events without cause or consequence, instead positioning it as a powerful mechanism the behind the formation and spread of new patterns in human biology and culture. Through rich interdisciplinary analysis, he shows how the permanent movements of populations created enduring patterns of genetic, linguistic, and cultural diversity that continue to define us. Covering the migrations of early hominins, Homo sapiens dispersals across continents, and the global diffusion of agriculture, the book provides a richly interdisciplinary account of humanity's shared past, drawing clear connections between environmental change, demographic expansion, and the human impulse to explore. Deepening our understanding of migration as one of the most enduring forces in human history, First Migrants Revisited: Reinterprets migration as a dynamic process of redistribution of human biology, culture, and language Highlights the enduring consequences of prehistoric migration for contemporary human societiesProvides new insights into the large-scale population movements that shaped the genetic, cultural, and linguistic diversity that still characterizes humanity todayFeatures accessible summaries of the latest findings on early Homo sapiens dispersals and the global spread of agricultureIncludes comparative discussions of different hominin species and their adaptive strategies First Migrants Revisited: Ancient Migration in Global Perspective is ideally suited for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate courses in archaeology, anthropology, human evolution, and historical linguistics, as well as for modules in global history, evolutionary biology, and population genetics within BA, BSc, and MA degree programmes.

Narratives of Success and Resilience of Students from Refugee Backgrounds in U.S. Schools offers educators a transformative perspective on teaching students from refugee backgrounds. Through personal narratives, this book highlights the resilience, strength, and wisdom that refugee students carry with them-alongside the rich linguistic and cultural wealth they contribute to schools. Drawing from the frameworks of community cultural wealth and ethics of care, the book challenges deficit perspectives and calls for an education system that values students not for how well they assimilate, but for the global perspectives and knowledge they bring. Centering student voice throughout, this is both a scholarly contribution and a call to action for more just and inclusive educational practices. It provides current and future educators with a deep understanding of refugee students' experiences, from not only language barriers to trauma, but also strengths and experiences, ultimately offering teaching strategies for creating inclusive, supportive learning environments.

This book examines how scholars and policy makers primarily characterize refugee resettlement as a humanitarian solution or a migration pathway. While these descriptions may be accurate, they are not comprehensive. It examines how such framing influences understandings of resettlement's scope and impact, generating conceptual blind spots that limit critical inquiry.By reframing resettlement as an institution embedded in a complex network of actors, relations, and practices, the chapters in this book reveal how resettlement is not a passive process. They explore historical and contemporary questions about how resettlement influences refugee hosting countries in the Global South and its political dimensions as a "humanitarian" program offered by countries in the Global North. By including the experiences of refugees at various points along the resettlement trajectory, such as those who may never be resettled, the book's chapters demonstrate how refugees actively strategize to become resettle-able, advocate for others within their networks, or even reject resettlement altogether. Contributions centering perspectives from the Global South expand the discourse around resettlement by examining how it operates from Southern host countries. These dynamics underscore how the specter of resettlement shapes refugee experiences in enduring ways, even when the prospect of being resettled is unattainable.This book is invaluable for students, scholars, researchers and practitioners in refugee studies, migration studies, human rights, development studies, international relations, humanitarian affairs, political science, and sociology.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Ethnic & Racial Studies.

Few ideas have had a more powerful effect on the modern world than that of race, yet few ideas are less understood. Bringing together contributions from leading international scholars, this volume traces the crystallisation of this concept in western intellectual discourse in the eighteenth century, its rapid rise to prominence as a governing concept across the world from the mid-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries, and its legacy from the Cold War and era of decolonisation to the present. Through multiple case studies, the chapters provide new angles on more familiar contexts, such as Enlightenment Europe, while introducing related themes in areas including India and New Zealand. Race in the Modern World offers a comparative understanding of the multiplicity of ways that race has been conceptualised, how these ideas changed over time, and how the world of ideas shapes the world in which we live.

Britt, Andrew G., I'll Samba Someplace Else: A Spatial History of Race, Ethnicity, and Displacement in Sao Paulo. 406 pp. 2026:4 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-929>

In I'll Samba Someplace Else, Andrew G. Britt maps the interwoven histories of three of the city of Sao Paulo's most iconic ethnoracialized neighborhoods, popularly known as "African" Brasilandia, "Japanese" Liberdade, and "Italian" Bexiga. Following these spaces over the mid-twentieth century through inventive methods of spatial history, archival research, and sustained engagement with African descendent cultural organizations, Britt shows that these ethnoracialized neighborhoods did not accrue naturally over time. Instead, they were planned, produced, and contested by an array of individuals, from powerful urbanist-politicians and neighborhood businessowners to celebrated samba composers and historic preservationists. The ethnoracialization of these neighborhoods, Britt argues, served paradoxical ends: they reproduced consequential racialized inequities while, simultaneously, bolstering discourses of multicultural harmony. By untangling the paradoxes of ethnoracial space in Brazil's most populous, diverse, and unequal city, I'll Samba Someplace Else elucidates how popular ideologies of multiculturalism endure despite persistently high levels of racialized inequity and anti-Black violence in Brazil and beyond.

This monograph delves into the general dynamics, causes, and impact of Venezuelan migration in the Caribbean, with particular emphasis on Trinidad and Tobago, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of this phenomenon.Migration has been a defining feature of the Caribbean region's history, with its complex interplay of colonial legacies, economic opportunities, and socio-political factors shaping patterns of movement within and beyond the region. The Caribbean has been a hub of migration, marked by both internal and external movements, driven by various factors such as economic disparities, political instability, and the search for better opportunities. However, migration also poses challenges such as brain drain and strains on resources in both sending and receiving countries. As the Caribbean continues to evolve in a globalized world, understanding and addressing the complex causes and impacts of migration remains a critical task for countries, policymakers, academics, and communities alike. This exploration allows for greater insights and understanding of the responses and possible recommendations for tacking and addressing the Venezuelan migrant crisis.

Serra Mingot, Ester, African Migrant Journeys Through Mexico: A Longitudinal Ethnography of Multiple Displacements. (SpringerBriefs in Anthropology) 107 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-940>
ISBN 978-3-032-12125-7 paper ¥13,251.- (税込) EUR 49.99

This book presents an intimate portrayal of African migration through Mexico, based on a four-year longitudinal ethnography (2021-2025) conducted in Tijuana, Tapachula, and Mexico City. Through the lives of five African migrants, it explores the complex and ever-changing migration systems that shape their journeys, decisions, and ultimate destinations-be it the United States, Canada, a return to their home countries, or settling in Mexico. Each chapter delves into a migrant's life story, offering a nuanced examination of forced migration infrastructures, smuggling networks, and the unique vulnerabilities faced by women in the asylum system. It also highlights how gender roles, expectations, and intersectional inequalities influence mobility, protection, and belonging across borders. The narratives reveal a complex web of interactions with corrupt migration authorities, compassionate smugglers, activists, and researchers, all navigating the intricacies of migration regimes. This ethnographic approach provides readers with authentic, bittersweet accounts of contemporary migration trajectories across the Americas. It challenges preconceived notions, revealing that smugglers are not uniformly malevolent, researchers often extend beyond their academic roles, and migrants' decisions are frequently driven by factors beyond rational calculation. By illuminating these multifaceted realities, the book offers a profound understanding of the human experiences underlying current migration patterns in the region. It also provides the views and strategies of different actors, not only the migrants, but also other people sharing part of the migrants' stories and making their journeys possible (e.g. researchers, smugglers and activists). Even though it originates from academic research, the tone and contents are intended to be accessible to anyone interested in the topic.

The Borders of America examines the tension between human migration and the diverse formations of border control and immigration and asylum policy that have arisen across the Americas since the start of the twenty-first century. The collection develops a single analytical framework that is hemispheric in scope, encompassing the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and the full extent of Latin America. The contributors offer the concept of a "border regime" as an epistemological and methodological approach that comprehends borders not merely as physical demarcations between state territories and jurisdictions but rather as expansive, uneven, and heterogeneous spaces of constant encounter, exchange, dispute, tension, conflict, and contestation. Presenting detailed empirical research into contemporary intra-regional and transcontinental mobilities across the hemisphere, The Borders of America scrutinizes an array of critical nodes in the larger configuration of the trans-American border regime.

移民と欧州の都市－多次元的視点
Dines, Nick, Migration and European Cities: A Multidimensional Perspective. (IMISCOE Research Series) 175 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <764-998>
ISBN 978-3-032-15378-4 hard ¥10,600.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This open access book offers a unique and timely investigation of the multifaceted relationship between migration and European cities. Its chapters critically examine the historical, economic, socio-spatial, cultural and policy-political dimensions of the migration-city nexus, bringing together different thematic and disciplinary perspectives that are usually considered separately. The book engages with the growing theoretical and empirical interest in the urban scale within migration studies, while also drawing on the rich and longstanding body of research on migration and cities across other disciplines. It draws attention to the significant variations both between and within European cities, taking stock not only of the extensive scholarship on north-western Europe - the theoretical heartland of European migration and urban studies - but also of the important contributions made by scholars working in the southern and eastern peripheries of the continent. In doing so, the book develops a nuanced understanding of the interconnections between migration and cities, while offering readers a guide to navigating the diverse literature that addresses these themes. Written in an accessible style, it is a valuable resource for students, researchers, academics, policymakers, practitioners, and readers who are new to this key area of migration studies.

Torrance, Isabelle (ed.), Irish Migrations and Classical Antiquity. (Classical Diaspora) 400 pp. 2026:2 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) * paper 2027:7

Why should classical antiquity matter to Irish migration? Irish Migrations and Classical Antiquity argues that ancient Greece and Rome have shaped Irish migration narratives from the earliest texts to the 21st century. These classical models emerge in response to four key drivers of migration: war, economic need, religious motivation and the pursuit of education. Rather than passive inheritances, Graeco-Roman forms are used both to join and to challenge dominant frameworks, offering tools for cultural participation and strategies of resistance to exclusion.The book traces classical reception in contexts ranging from early Irish origin legends and medieval Latin learning to 21st-century cultural politics, including Irish-language translation, diaspora literature and gendered experiences. Participation appears in assertions of Irish civilisation, synchronistic histories, literary cosmopolitanism and transnational exchange. Resistance surfaces in critiques of marginalisation, defence of minority languages and challenges to aesthetic or political canons. This book rethinks how Irish identities travel across borders, languages and centuries by showing how the ancient world underwrites both movement and its meanings.

Nassehi, Armin, Anmerkungen zum Antisemitismus: Die Funktion der Judenfeindschaft und das westliche Selbstverhaltnis. (C. H. Beck Paperback 6630) 224 S. 2026:3 (Beck, GW) <764-724>
ISBN 978-3-406-84639-7 paper ¥4,771.- (税込) EUR 18.00

Armin Nassehi uber die Funktion des Antisemitismus in unserer Zeit Antisemitische Denkfiguren, Chiffren, Symbole und Taten erfahren derzeit eine erhebliche Sichtbarkeit - was nicht nur mit dem Terrorangriff der Hamas auf Israel im Jahre 2023 und den militarischen und politischen Folgen dieses Ereignisses zu tun hat. In seinem neuen Buch nimmt der Soziologe Armin Nassehi den verbindenden Kern antisemitischer Formen rechtsradikaler, burgerlicher, linker, postkolonialer und islamistischer Natur in den Blick. Es widmet sich der gleichzeitigen Persistenz und Plastizitat dieses Phanomens. Die nicht historisch, sondern explizit soziologisch gestellte Leitfrage lautet: Was ist die Funktion des Antisemitismus in westlichen Gesellschaften? Sie wird mit der These beantwortet, dass antisemitische Denkungsarten stets mit ungeklarten Selbstverhaltnissen derer zu tun haben, fur die der Antisemitismus exakt dieses Problem lost: Fragen der Selbstbeschreibung und ihres Selbstverhaltnisses zu losen. Nassehis Buch ist damit zugleich ein Beitrag zu der Frage, wie die Selbstbezogenheit des "Westens" seine paradoxen Selbstverhaltnisse auf etwas Fremdes richtet, das zugleich sein Vertrautestes selbst ist, das imaginierte Judische namlich.

Burkham, Jonathan, Migrant Midwest: The Case for Immigration and Economic Growth in the American Heartland. 184 pp. 2026:4 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <764-730>
ISBN 979-82-16-27609-8 hard ¥9,273.- (税込) GB￡ 30.00

The American heartland is poised for a demographic decline with very real consequences. Migrant Midwest tracks the history of population growth and its projected decline in the Midwest to highlight the need for increased international migration to the region. Burkham first illustrates how the forces of fertility and migration drove the development of the region's agricultural and industrial economies, and how the region has more recently struggled with deindustrialization, outmigration, and declining fertility, a global trend. The Midwest is now the slowest-growing region in the country and has the lowest share of immigrants, contributing to stagnation at the national level. Burkham goes on to evaluate the impact of demographic decline on the regional labor market and its fiscal implications for cities, states, and the nation. His thoughtful analysis highlights global trends in fertility decline and raises doubts about the prospect of significantly boosting fertility in modern society. This timely book proposes a bipartisan model of immigration reform designed to replenish the region's workforce and population, stabilizing communities and fueling a manufacturing renaissance. It takes seriously concerns that increases in immigration may be harmful to some Americans by presenting a nuanced view of how immigrants are integrated into local labor markets and society more generally. Ultimately, Burkham makes an argument for assimilation through residential integration. He concludes by suggesting that the coming "demographic winter" is a choice between managed decline and a more forward-looking vision of abundance that is consistent with the country's character as a nation of immigrants.

ドイツにおける難民の保護
Luft, Stefan, Systemversagen: Fluchtlingsschutz in Deutschland. 200 S. 2026:6 (Kohlhammer, GW) <764-746>
ISBN 978-3-17-046919-8 paper ¥5,832.- (税込) EUR 22.00

Asyl und Fluchtlingsschutz gehoren zu den am meisten genutzten Wanderungspfaden in die EU. Doch sie entziehen sich weitgehend staatlicher Steuerung. Zudem haben Gewaltenteilung, Foderalismus, Europaisierung sowie eine Vielzahl machtiger Akteure (wie Wirtschaftsverbande, Kirchen, Medien, Fluchtlingsinitiativen) zu einem so hohen Verflechtungsgrad gefuhrt, dass ein flachendeckendes Systemversagen in der Fluchtlingspolitik festgestellt werden muss. Die allermeisten Ausreisepflichtigen bleiben letztendlich in der EU. Die Unfahigkeit, Steuerung und Begrenzung der Zuwanderung zu erreichen, erweist sich als Radikalisierungsmaschine: Eine Regierung nach der nachsten wird von Migrationskritikern in die Defensive gedrangt und abgelost. Kann ein Systemwechsel gelingen? Konnen beispielsweise Verfahren in Drittstaaten die Lage entspannen?

Cusumano, Eugenio / Raineri, Luca et al. (eds.), Varieties of Securitization: Migration Governance along the Central Mediterranean Route. 316 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-802>
ISBN 978-3-032-15274-9 hard ¥42,412.- (税込) EUR 159.99

This book contributes to migration and security studies alike by examining the transformation of migration governance across the Central Mediterranean Route connecting Sub-Saharan Africa to Europe through Italy. Leveraging this migratory corridor in historical and comparative perspective, the volume provides a multidisciplinary reappraisal of securitization theory, highlighting how different fields such as anthropology, history, visual semiotics, and science and technology studies can enrich, reappraise, and decentralize this paradigm. Far from merely exploring the different ways migration is framed as a threat after the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the volume systematically dissects the interplay between discourses and border enforcement practices as well as the diffusion of migration governance models worldwide, pushing securitization theory beyond security studies.

20世紀の日本とメキシコの人種間の断絶
Mendoza, Andrea, Transpacific Nonencounters: Racial Disconnects Across Twentieth-Century Japan and Mexico. 208 pp. 2026:4 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-830>

In Transpacific Nonencounters, Andrea Mendoza works across the seemingly unconnected histories of race and nation in modern Mexico and Japan, showing the commonalities in the way race figures in their state and social formations through a method Mendoza calls the theory of nonencounter. Intellectual and cultural productions of racial knowledge were important for the formation of the modernizing Mexican and Japanese states at the beginning of the twentieth century and helped conceive the project of national modernity through ideologies that promoted multiracial and multiethnic belonging-mestizaje and Pan-Asian co-prosperity. Despite the diasporic, economic, and political points of contact that connected these states throughout the twentieth century, however, traditional Eurocentric comparative and area-based studies treat the formations and legacies of Mexican mestizo nationalism and Japanese imperialism as wholly unrelated phenomena. Transpacific Nonencounters proposes a theory of nonencounter to formulate the logic of disciplinary disconnection, offering a framework and hermeneutic for a transpacific account of how Japanese imperialism and Mexican mestizo settler nationalism structured and reinforced one another through the modern formations of race and racism.

Karluk, Abduerresit Celil, Others in China: Governing, Assimilation with Chinese Characteristics. 284 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-844>
ISBN 978-981-9555-38-3 hard ¥34,459.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book presents a comprehensive analysis of governance and ethno-nationality policies in China, with a particular emphasis on the historical strategies employed by the Chinese state in managing its relations with non-Han nationalities and ethno-religious groups. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach to examine the state's cultural and political integration efforts, or, more precisely, its expansionist ambitions. This is achieved by analysing the manner in which the Chinese state, conceptualised as comprising two interrelated dimensions - cultural China and political China - extends its influence both within its official borders and in the territories under its control. In this context, the book presents a critical analysis of the state's assimilationist practices, which are designed to transform a diverse socio-cultural and ethno-national landscape into a cohesive and unified socio-cultural framework. These policies are characterised by a synthesis of traditional Chinese cultural ideologies with contemporary Marxist and nationalist doctrines, a strategy aptly described by the author as "assimilation with Chinese characteristics". The analytical framework allows for an examination of the implementation of governance and assimilation strategies towards non-Chinese minority groups, with the Uyghur case serving as a focal example to illustrate these dynamics.

Ding, Seong Lin / Leng Ng, Yean (eds.), Seeing beyond a 'Chinatown': Heritage and Identity in Chinese Spaces in Kuala Lumpur. 321 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-858>
ISBN 978-981-9555-80-2 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book moves beyond the stereotyped approaches adopted in earlier works on 'Chinatowns' and introduces instead the Chinese spaces in the metropolitan city of Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia. Seeing beyond the 'Chinatown', this book puts forward the historical, political, linguistic, educational, economic, sociocultural, religious, and architectural perspectives of the Chinese spaces, in local and global contexts, thus offering critical insights into the complex intertwining of historical impact, heritage language vitality, ethnic politics, out-migration issue, socioeconomic development, urban heritage sustainability, and the potential conflict between the official and the 'vernacular' representation of various Chinese neighbourhoods. Seeing beyond the notion of stereotyping 'Chinatown', this book expounds on the one hand, the tensions between branding and rebranding, positioning and repositioning of heritage and identity in Chinese urban spaces. On the other hand, this work also raises broader questions of social integration, and the underlying challenges in maintaining urban space and urban heritage amidst state-facilitated dispossession, touristification, and gentrification, thus allowing for an exploration of the nuanced interplay between power dynamics and struggles for empowerment. This book contributes both to our understanding of Chinese spaces embedded in the (re)imagination of 'Chinatown' and more importantly, a critical understanding of urban sustainability and social inclusivity that goes beyond ethnic and racial boundaries. It is relevant to cultural theorists and social scientists with a particular interest in heritage studies in Malaysia, and in wider Asia.

Chakrabarti, Paromita, Migration Matters: South Asian Diaspora, Literary Culture and the Politics of (Be)longing. 208 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-873>
ISBN 978-981-9545-84-1 hard ¥31,808.- (税込) EUR 119.99

The book explores the politics of gendered belonging in the South Asian (SA) diaspora through the lens of migration. It focuses on the lives of contemporary postcolonial SA migrants, particularly women, through a critical analysis of select South Asian diaspora literature. It brings together authors who have not previously been discussed collectively, examining their works to uncover the nuanced interplay between homeland, hostland, and diaspora. Focusing on postcolonial South Asian women, it critically analyzes works by Sorayya Khan, Meena Alexander, Sara Suleri, Anita Desai, and Kiran Desai to explore the interplay of homeland, hostland, and diaspora. Unpacking the grammar of dislocation, displacement, border crossing, and relocation, Migration Matters uses a postcolonial theoretical lens to assess the impact of colonialism and modernity on the production of diasporic subjectivities and the construction of diasporic communities. Engaging with the concept of a diaspora space that both separates and merges boundaries of inclusion and exclusion, this book delves into the triad of homeland, hostland, and diaspora, highlighting the processes of exchange, negotiation, and contestation. Being attentive to how material conditions of globalization produce culturally specific diasporic subjects, Migration Matters engages with the idea of transnationality as a diasporic condition but without ignoring the national, racial, class, and gender differences. Addressing the contemporary condition of transnationality, the book considers how globalization shapes culturally specific diasporic subjects. It examines the persistent connections transnational migrants maintain with their homelands and how identities are configured across multiple nation-states. Spanning texts from 1989 to 2006, Migration Matters maps the shifts in nation and diaspora, particularly post-9/11 world. It is an essential read for scholars and students in South Asian diaspora studies, postcolonial literature, gender and cultural studies, migration, and transnationalism.

S.I.Rajan他編　アラビア湾におけるジェンダーと移民
Rajan, S. Irudaya / Balan, Divya (eds.), Gender and Migration in the Arabian Gulf. (Gulf Studies 25) 209 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-891>
ISBN 978-981-9552-58-0 hard ¥37,110.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book provides a groundbreaking exploration of gender and migration in the Arabian Gulf, challenging dominant narratives that reduce women's migration to domestic labor and caregiving. It presents a nuanced, interdisciplinary analysis of how women navigate transnational labor markets, exercise agency, and confront systemic inequalities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This book addresses a critical gap in migration studies by moving beyond male-centered frameworks and offering fresh insights into the diverse experiences of women across occupational categories. This book highlights the intersections of mobility, governance, class hierarchies, and legal frameworks that shape women's migration journeys. It critically examines how labor policies-including the controversial kafala (sponsorship) system-impact women migrants, while also shedding light on their strategies of resilience and negotiation within these structures. The book engages with key themes such as migration governance, informal recruitment networks, gendered labor reforms, and the socio-economic impacts of migration on families left behind. By integrating case studies from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, it evaluates the effectiveness of recent policy changes in addressing migrant women's rights. It also explores the role of social networks in both facilitating migration and reinforcing precarity, particularly for low-wage workers. Timely and relevant, this book speaks to ongoing global debates on migration governance, labor rights, and gender equity. It provides policy-relevant insights and aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to decent work, gender equality, and migrant protections. By uniting perspectives from sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and international relations, this book serves as an essential resource for scholars, policymakers, development professionals, humanitarian workers, and students seeking a deeper understanding of gendered migration in one of the world's most dynamic labor corridors.

Brankamp, Hanno, Occupied Refuge: Humanitarian Colonization and the Camp in Kenya. (Global Insecurities) 280 pp. 2026:2 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-906>

In a world shaped by war, climate disaster, and displacement, refugee camps are imagined as indispensable safe havens for millions of people fleeing crises. In Occupied Refuge, Hanno Brankamp challenges the presumed innocence of refugee humanitarianism as a system of civilian protection that can manage global inequalities and forced migration by peaceful means. He shows that although humanitarian missions aim to protect displaced populations in the global South, they often function as militarized occupations that treat camp inhabitants as new colonized subjects. Through ethnographic research in Kenya's Kakuma refugee camp, Brankamp demonstrates how aid operations rely on a combination of infrastructural expansion, militarized policing, ethno-racial subjugation, indirect rule, and economic extraction. By co-managing these camps with international aid agencies, the Kenyan state becomes not only a willing accomplice in planetary humanitarian containment but seeks to pacify its own peripheral territories, securitize unwanted migrants, and impose national rule. Illuminating how refugee camps serve as key sites where carceral protectionism, postcolonial nation-building, and global mobility control intersect, Brankamp calls for abolitionist futures beyond the violent structures of encampment, borders, and citizenship.

Eltayeb, Shahla / Marie Heltne, Unni / Dybdahl, R. (eds.), Resilience in the Shadows: Mental Health of Vulnerable Refugees and Displaced Communities in Africa. 446 pp. 2026:3 (Springer, GW) <764-907>
ISBN 978-981-9558-70-4 hard ¥39,761.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of the mental health challenges faced by vulnerable refugees and displaced communities-particularly children, women, and youth-from across the Horn of Africa, including Sudan, South Sudan, Chad, Somalia, and Ethiopia. It examines how displacement, poverty, cultural dislocation, and exposure to trauma profoundly shape mental well-being, highlighting the urgent need for tailored interventions and informed policy responses. Bringing together perspectives from psychology, public health, social work, and humanitarian practice, the book provides a holistic understanding of the complex factors influencing mental health in crisis settings. It centers resilience, coping, and real-life interventions, offering practical strategies for mental health practitioners, humanitarian organizations, and policymakers working on the front lines. Rich case studies and real-world examples illuminate the lived experiences and mental health needs of African refugees. Each chapter explores critical themes such as vulnerability in humanitarian contexts, culturally sensitive mental health interventions, long-term development, psychosocial support systems, gender-based violence, and community-centered healing. The book also underscores the value of low-threshold, accessible interventions in promoting recovery and overall well-being. This book is an indispensable resource for mental health professionals, scholars, and students in psychology, social work, and related fields. It is equally valuable for policymakers, humanitarian workers, NGOs supporting refugees, and general readers seeking a deeper understanding of refugee mental health and resilience.

地中海における移民統制

While migrants face many dangers in attempting to reach Europe by crossing the Mediterranean Sea-from drowning to dying of dehydration-they also confront an elaborate legal system that is designed to return them to their countries of origin. In The Borders of Responsibility, Kiri Olivia Santer outlines the architecture of these legal systems and how they help Europe evade legal responsibility for rescuing migrants. Focusing on legal agreements between Italy and Libya that have resulted in the systematic interception of migrants, Santer shows how Europe's liberal identity is belied by legal agreements that let migrants die at sea or that send them back to dangerous, exploitative situations in post-Gaddafi Libya or their home countries. Law, she argues, is the tool that enables states to affect control beyond territory, whilst disappearing their responsibility for violence across border assemblages. Through ethnographic fieldwork with migrants, lawyers, policy makers, and humanitarian workers, Santer shows how the law is too often used as an instrument of violence against migrants, who fall outside of conventional structures of legal rights.

Wang, Lee Ann S., The Violence of Protection: Policing, Immigration Law, and Asian American Women. 152 pp. 2026:2 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-582>

Celebrated as a feminist victory upon its passage as part of the Clinton Crime Bill, the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a landmark piece of legislation that provides protections for survivors of gender and sexual violence. However, as Lee Ann S. Wang shows in The Violence of Protection, VAWA primarily funds law enforcement efforts to rescue women, and in doing so, creates conditions of racial violence against survivors from communities who are already policed, surveilled, and face immigration enforcement. Through ethnographic fieldwork with legal and social advocates serving Asian American survivors of gender and sexual violence in the San Francisco Bay Area, Wang shows how these activists grapple with laws which require survivors to cooperate with policing in order to receive protection. Engaging in methodologies of feminist refusal, theories of racial assemblage, and abolition feminisms, The Violence of Protection theorizes the victim as a legal subject and exposes the racial violence enacted when State-provided legal safeguards are leveraged to expand punishment against survivors, their communities, and others.

Akintoye, Bisi, Black Britons, Race, and Policing: The Long Shadow. (Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies) 320 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-604>
ISBN 978-3-032-11661-1 hard ¥31,808.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book explores the historical and contemporary policing of Black communities in Britain, revealing how much has - and hasn't - changed. Drawing on 58 interviews with young people, elders, and community workers in a heavily policed North London neighbourhood, it offers a powerful, intergenerational account of racialised policing and its everyday consequences. Through an intersectional lens, it examines how race, gender, class, and place overlap to shape Black Britons' encounters with police and their sense of belonging. Through the voices of those most affected, the book traces how these experiences have produced enduring cultural narratives of mistrust, resistance, and exclusion. Exposing how policing continues to racialise and criminalise certain communities designated suspect status, it connects these practices to the legacies of empire and the politics of othering. It concludes by considering what these histories mean for the present and future of police-community relations and offers practical recommendations for building trust, accountability, and justice.

Maynard, Robyn, Policing Black Lives: State Violence in Canada from Slavery to Present. Rev. & Expanded ed. 472 pp. 2025:10 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-614>

Robyn Maynard's bestselling Policing Black Lives offers a comprehensive account of the state-sanctioned surveillance, criminalization, and punishment of Black lives in Canada. In this revised and expanded edition, Maynard exposes Canada's veneer of multiculturalism and tolerance to document how half a century of police reforms have expanded the scope and scale of policing and undermined Black freedom struggles in the wake of global Black uprisings in 2020. She traces the afterlives of slavery across multiple institutions and illuminates the state's role in perpetuating colonial dispossession, racial profiling, police killings, incarceration, immigration detention, deportation, exploitative migrant labor practices, and the school-to-prison pipeline. At the same time, Maynard foregrounds the ubiquity of Black resistance while offering new insights on how to build liveable futures without policing. Advancing a compelling vision for making policing obsolete and building new forms of safety, Policing Black Lives is an essential text that will guide and inspire activists, students, scholars, and all those working toward Black futures beyond surveillance and confinement.

Torkelson, Erin, Predatory Welfare: Debt, Race and Cash Transfers. 336 pp. 2026:5 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-358>

In Predatory Welfare, Erin Torkelson explores how the direct cash transfer program instituted in South Africa revised and reworked post-apartheid racialized and gendered dispossession, despite its promise of ameliorating extreme poverty. Beginning in 2012, she focuses on how poor Black South African women assert their entitlements to social assistance and responsibilities to familial care against the pressures of expropriation built into the grant payment system. Because the grants did not cover monthly bills, recipients were pushed into predatory loans collateralized by welfare packages. Torkelson finds that the state-sponsored but privately-run program was fundamentally undermined by its reliance on digital financial technologies which encoded wider forces of colonial rule, nationalist politics, and global development. Even when the government assumed control of grant payment in 2018, the neoliberal bent of fiscal policy continued to drive recipients into debt in new ways. Drawing on seven years of ethnographic fieldwork and organization - in grant payment queues, loan offices, grocery stores, Parliament, and the Constitutional Court - Torkelson demonstrates how cash transfers can offer a means to making racial capitalism more acceptable and how recipients can push back to demand reparation.

Carrillo, Ian, The Business of Racism: Labor and Environment in Brazil's Racial Capitalism. 278 pp. 2026:5 (Duke U. Pr., US) <764-360>

In The Business of Racism, Ian Carrillo employs a case study from Brazil's sugarcane industry to show how racial capitalism is promulgated and maintained through politics and business. As Carrillo recounts, in the mid-2000s, Brazil embarked on a state-led project to improve environmental and labor conditions in sugarcane production. He describes how, seeing increased government regulation of their worksite as a threat to their power, the elites of Brazil's sugar-ethanol industry repurposed long-standing racial ideologies to undermine progressive institutions and elevate their own leaders. Carrillo's extensive ethnographic fieldwork in mills and plantations, as well as interviews with federal labor regulators and sugar-ethanol industry elites in Brazil, weaves together an account of how Brazil's labor and environmental regulations are forged through racial and class struggles at worksites and within the state. The Business of Racism contributes to ongoing sociological debates about race, development, and the environment while highlighting future pathways for achieving racial justice, labor equality, and climate sustainability.

Bjoerklund Larsen, Lotta / Oats, Lynne, Crossing Borders, Sharing Burdens: Rethinking Taxation and Migration as Fiscal Belonging. 132 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <764-362>

Tax matters. It structures our societies, influences our choices, and reflects our values. Yet the meaning and impact of taxation are constantly changing in step with a world marked by climate transitions, demographic shifts, digitalisation, globalisation, and migration. This open access book addresses critical questions surrounding attitudes to tax and tax compliance through the lens of 'fiscal belonging,' demonstrating the value of qualitative approaches to tax research. It explores the lived experience of immigrants to the UK, and how feelings of belonging, exclusion, reciprocity, and obligation shape their encounters with the tax system. The book illuminates the many different facets of fiscal belonging, including the right to work and access to employment, as well as histories of colonialism and the economic history of different communities on a national scale. By foregrounding personal narratives and the complexity of social worlds, this book argues for more methodologically diverse and inclusive approaches to understanding why people do, or do not, pay tax. It will be of interest to scholars across disciplines, as well as tax professionals working in business, consultancy, and public administration.

不安定な権利－アジアとアメリカにおける移民労働者

This book examines the way that migrant workers' everyday experiences are being shaped by precarious conditions in the receiving countries. Utilising a mixed methods approach, the case studies of migrant workers in Thailand and Thai migrant workers in Taiwan, South Korea and the USA from 2005-2020 are analyzed to compare the strategies used toward justice in various contexts such as labour, permanent residency, and human rights. Revealing the limitations for true economic and social integration, the author argues that precarious conditions and exclusion from legal protections are the forces that limit noncitizens' access to remedies against wage theft, labour trafficking, forced labour and related human rights violations. NGOs advocating alongside Southeast Asian migrant workers therefore exemplify how transnational labour rights are negotiated to increase state social protections for foreign nationals abroad, working in dirty, dangerous, and degrading jobs globally. Advancing the growing literature on labour migration and precarities in South East Asia and the USA, the author combines labour and anti-trafficking theories with practices utilized by NGO and trade unions to participate in setting the agenda of this interdisciplinary field of migrant precarity. The implications are therefore not just of interest to scholars of migration from and in Asia but appeals to international practitioners in trade unions and policy makers.

This book explores the complex nexus of climate change, labour, and migration with a specific focus on women and children, using Indonesia as a case study. It provides a comprehensive analysis of intersecting issues, drawing on transdisciplinary academic knowledge from fields such as law, social work, gender studies, public health, engineering, and urban planning. The book examines the future of climate change law in Indonesia, gender-based adaptation strategies, and the role of local leaders in managing sea level rise impacts. It investigates the effects of climate change on labour migration, social protection for informal workers, and economic resilience strategies for women and children. Additionally, it analyzes immobility and adaptation strategies, forced migration, and the role of local government in addressing migration and climate change. Special emphasis is placed on the legal frameworks and policies necessary for effective climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as the principles of green criminology in understanding environmental injustices. This volume offers valuable insights and recommendations for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to develop holistic climate change mitigation strategies that address the needs of vulnerable communities. It is essential reading for those interested in the intersections of climate change, migration, labour, law, and green criminology.

Belenyi, Emese-Hajnalka / Flora, Gavril, Ethnic Belonging and Deaf Identity in Romania: Living in Multiple Minorities. 208 pp. 2026:4 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) * paper 2027:8 <764-411>

While Deafness can function as a cultural-linguistic identity with its own language and community norms, Deaf individuals may belong simultaneously to other social groups while sharing a Deaf identity. Throughout this work, Belenyi and Flora interpret Deafness and ethnicity through the lens of Social Identity Theory (SIT), which posits that individuals derive part of their self-concept from membership in social groups and predicts that group memberships shape self-concept and self-esteem. While SIT has its limitations, newer adaptations, such as self-categorization theory and identity process theory, allow for more nuanced interpretations. With a focus on Hungarian ethnic-minority Deaf people in Romania-and their partners and communities-the authors examine these insights to understand how Deaf people in Romania balance their ethnic and Deaf identities.Deaf people in East-Central Europe, especially in the multi-ethnic context of Romania, inhabit overlapping minority worlds. Although nation-building policies often emphasize linguistic and ethnic homogeneity, in practice Hungarian-Romanian relations within Deaf families and communities can reveal unexpected cultural bridges. This book combines a theoretical synthesis of Deaf identity, culture, and ethnicity with empirical life-course research to shed new light on how Deaf and ethnic identities intersect.

de Abreu, Marcio N., Race Beyond Vision: A Semiotic-Cultural Study of Racial Perception and Blindness. (Latin American Voices) 142 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <764-412>

This book shows how racial perception goes beyond the limits of sight. Drawing on Semiotic Cultural Psychology, it challenges the dominant visuocentric paradigm that equates race with visually apprehended phenotypic traits. Through an in-depth case study of a congenitally blind individual, the author demonstrates that racial distinctions are not self-evident to the senses but emerge through socially mediated, symbolic, and affective processes. Integrating insights from psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and disability studies, the volume explores how race operates as a dynamic, culturally constructed sign within intersubjective relations. It critically revisits Brazilian racial classification systems, affirmative action controversies, and heteroidentification procedures, exposing the contradictions between race as a social construct and the visual essentialism embedded in current practices. The book advances a theoretical framework that reconceptualizes racial identity as a dimension of body image-biopsychosocial, historically situated, and affectively charged. Combining rigorous theoretical analysis with qualitative methodology, Race Beyond Vision: A Semiotic-Cultural Study of Racial Perception and Blindness contributes to debates on race, perception, and embodiment by revealing how blind individuals participate fully in the social construction of race. It will appeal to scholars and graduate students in cultural psychology, critical race studies, semiotics, and disability studies, as well as researchers interested in epistemology and qualitative inquiry.
