In Spoiled, Summer Kim Lee examines how contemporary Asian American artists challenge expectations that their work should repair the wounds of racial trauma. Kim Lee turns to the "spoiled" - the racialized, gendered body and all that it consumes, wrecks, and inflicts in its desire and excess - in visual culture, performance, music, and literature. Reading works by Cato Ouyang, Patty Chang, Wu Tsang, TJ Shin, Jes Fan, and others, Kim Lee highlights moments of hostility and deformation that spoil idealizations of Asian Americanness and incite modes of feeling and relating that relinquish fantasies of wholeness, power, and control. She observes the latent aggressive behaviors and negative affects in Asian American aesthetic practice: the embarrassment of asociality, the imposition of speaking as someone else, and the indulgence of ravenous appetites. In so doing, Kim Lee questions the political desires for repair expressed in "feeling Asian" and stays with the damage that spoilage creates as integral to the kinds of repair that Asian Americans seek.

Winters, Joseph R., The Disturbing Profane: Hip Hop, Blackness, and the Sacred. 216 pp. 2025:8 (Duke U. Pr., US) <748-919>

In The Disturbing Profane, Joseph R. Winters explores how hip hop's religiosity is found in qualities associated with the dark sacred. Rather than purity and wholeness, this expression of the sacred signifies death and pleasure, opacity and contamination, and exorbitance and anguish. Winters draws on religious studies, Black studies, Black feminist thought, and critical theory to bear on contemporary hip hop in order to trouble distinctions between the sacred and the profane. He shows how artists like Notorious B.I.G., Lauryn Hill, Kendrick Lamar, Lupe Fiasco, and Nicki Manaj undermine stable meanings of the sacred to reveal listeners' investments in unpleasant realities. Hip hop opens its audience to a volatile notion of the sacred and the unruly qualities of Blackness. Moreover, Winters demonstrates that hip hop's dark sacrality makes it inseparable from its expression of, participation in, and resistance to the anti-Black and Black gendered violence that organizes the social world.

Allen, Sylvester / Boggs, Belle, The Legend of Wyatt Outlaw: From Reconstruction Through Black Lives Matter. (A Ferris and Ferris Book) 288 pp. 2026:1 (U. North Carolina Pr., US) <748-953>
ISBN 978-1-4696-8999-9 hard ¥6,336.- (税込) US$ 30.00

Wyatt Outlaw's story was one of Black success: He was a Union League leader, business owner, and the first Black town constable and commissioner in Graham, a small town located in North Carolina's Alamance County. But in 1870, Outlaw was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan, setting off a dramatic series of events: more lynchings, a Republican-led "war" against the Klan, and a white supremacist crackdown on Black political power that continues today. As a child, Black activist, musician, and Graham native Sylvester Allen frequently passed the site where Outlaw was killed without ever learning his name. Belle Boggs, white and also from the South, taught high school in Alamance County without knowing Outlaw's importance. Allen and Boggs both sought to discover why Outlaw had been erased from mainstream history books. In The Legend of Wyatt Outlaw, they share what they found in artful detail and connect Outlaw's story to the violence against Black people in Alamance and throughout the United States, from Reconstruction through Jim Crow, the civil rights era, and Black Lives Matter. Drawing on archival research, interviews, and their own personal stories, Allen and Boggs join the conversation begun by historian Peniel Joseph and activist William Barber II about a third Reconstruction in America, but they also offer ways to move forward for any community struggling with a history of racism.

In Race and Class in the Southwest and Other Essays, Mario Barrera puts forth his seminal theory of racial inequality based on a synthesis of class and colonial analysis together with several essays and selections from Barrera's memoir that show how his thinking developed throughout his work.Reprinted here for the first time after becoming a modern classic of Chicano studies, Race and Class in the Southwest focuses on the economic foundations of inequality as they have affected Chicanos in the Southwest from the Mexican-American War to the present. Barrera reviews the economic history of Chicanos, their relegation to a subordinate position in the labor force segmented along racial lines, their displacement from the land, the effects of waves of immigration from Mexico, the role of an emerging Chicano middle class, and state policies designed to reproduce the subordinate status of Chicanos. He reviews competing theories of racial inequality and concludes that an "internal colonialism" model that focuses on the institutional subordination of Chicanos offers the greatest explanatory value for understanding the political economy of Chicanos in the Southwest.The Editors, Rodolfo Torres and William I. Robinson, provide both an important historical and contextual introduction to the work, as well as thorough annotation that brings the scholarship into contemporary conversation with further theoretical development and highlights Barrera's significant contribution to recent and new debates that reflect his legacy at a time of rising social inequalities, political conflict and mass migration into the United States from Latin America.

Bland, Robert D., Requiem for Reconstruction: Black Countermemory and the Legacy of the Lowcountry's Lost Political Generation. (The John Hope Franklin Series in African American History and Culture) 288 pp. 2026:1 (U. North Carolina Pr., US) <748-957>

The promise of Reconstruction sparked a transformative era in American history as free and newly emancipated Black Americans sought to redefine their place in a nation still grappling with the legacy of slavery. Often remembered as a period of failed progressive change that gave way to Jim Crow and second-class citizenship, Reconstruction's tragic narrative has long overshadowed the resilience and agency of African Americans during this time. Requiem for Reconstruction chronicles Reconstruction's legacy by focusing on key Black figures such as South Carolina congressman Robert Smalls, Judge William Whipper, writer Frances Rollin, and others who shaped postbellum Black America. Robert D. Bland traces the impact of the Reconstruction generation-Black Americans born between 1840 and 1870 who saw Reconstruction as a defining political movement and worked to preserve its legacy by establishing a new set of historical practices such as formulating new archives, shaping local community counternarratives, using the Black press to inform national audiences about Southern Republican politics, and developing a framework to interpret the recent past's connection to their present world. Set in South Carolina's Lowcountry-a hub of Black freedom, landownership, and activism-this book shows how late nineteenth-century Black leaders, educators, and journalists built a powerful countermemory of Reconstruction, defying the dominant white narrative that sought to erase their contributions.

Bonfert, Lisa, Transnationality and Social Mobility: Navigating Social Structures. (Studies in Migration and Diaspora) 150 pp. 2025:8 (Routledge, UK) <748-958>

Considering that changes in people's life chances are increasingly shaped by cross-border movements and transnational connections, this book proposes a transnational conception of social mobility. Emphasising the manifold ways in which contexts of migration and transnationality affect perceptions and evaluations of betterment, the book argues for linking the study of social and spatial mobility to better capture how people navigate social structures of inequality in a globalised world.Based on the experiences of people who moved to Germany to improve their lives in some way, this book links empirical findings with theoretical considerations from transnational and intersectional scholarship to propose an alternative concept of social mobility that emphasises people's subjective interpretations of success and failure in their search of betterment.Drawing on the concepts of social spaces, capitals, and reference group theory, a model of the cogwheels of social mobility is proposed to account for the varying ways in which cross-border migration and transnational connections initiate changes in people's social position within and across country borders.This book will therefore be of interest to scholars of sociology, geography and politics with interests in migration, transnationalism and mobility.

Chattoraj, Diotima (ed.), Privileged Migrants Across the Globe: Experiences of Inclusion, Exclusion and Mobility. (Routledge Advances in Sociology) 218 pp. 2025:8 (Routledge, UK) <748-960>
ISBN 978-1-032-93809-7 hard ¥41,948.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

Chattoraj and contributors explore the concept of privileged migration in the context of globalization, shedding light on the experiences of a demographic often overshadowed in migration discourse. The book delves into the rising mobility of various groups, including students, skilled professionals, and lifestyle migrants. Despite their education and resources, these individuals encounter hurdles such as loss of status and their pursuit of integration into the host society. By highlighting the complexities of achieving privileged social interaction with the host population, the text emphasizes the fluid and relative nature of privilege. It provides a nuanced exploration of the experiences of privileged migrants, their strategies for integration, and the challenges they face in navigating between insider and outsider dynamics in their respective host nations. Rich in empirical evidence and practical insights, this is a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and students of migration, as well as policy makers and practitioners engaged with migrant issues.

An unforgettable journey from seventh-grade dropout to celebrated professor Georgiann Davis' family is white, but not the right kind of white. They're five star white trash. They borrowed money and tried to buy class. In this upside-down and queer response to JD Vance's Hillbilly Elegy, Davis introduces readers to the relatives who shaped her turbulent childhood: the Greek grandparents who guided her, the father who understood cars better than children, and the brother whose violence went unchecked in their home. Looming over them all was Davis' larger-than-life mother, who displayed her love through gifts they couldn't afford, empowering Davis with life lessons even as she downplayed their financial struggles. It took years to uncover the shocking medical secrets that her mother had kept from her -secrets that upended everything she thought she knew about gender and the human body. Davis guides us through her unusual life, from running the family's ice cream business to selling weed in her "monkey shit green" Dodge Neon. As she chronicles her journey from seventh-grade dropout to sociology professor, she reveals how whiteness colored her family's struggles. She connects her personal experiences of medical abuse, fatphobia, and fear of the intersex body with incisive critiques of white supremacy, the opioid crisis, and gendered oppression. Faced with unimaginable setbacks-identity theft, medical struggles, and family turmoil-Davis relentlessly pursued education. It was this quest that transformed her life, giving her the tools to tell her own story. The result is a deeply moving memoir which complicates our understanding of upward mobility and familial love.

Charts racialized and class-based exclusion in Morningside Heights and its surrounding area by elite institutions New York City's storied diversity has also been a story of racialized class discrimination. Towering Above Harlem focuses on understudied players in this process: the elite institutions of Morningside Heights-Columbia University, Teachers College and the Riverside Church-to reveal the troubling ways in which they exploited existing geographic features to build a racially and economically exclusive "city on a hill." In his final book-length work, Steven Gregory explores the long history of economic and racial discrimination in Morningside Heights, beginning in the late 19th century and extending into the present day. This exclusion of the surrounding racial minorities and working-class population has been enacted physically, through the acquisition of property by Columbia and others, but it has also been enacted through a variety of discourses and practices aimed at setting apart the so-called "civilization-building" mission of the elites overlooking Harlem from the racialized others in the vicinity. The book shows that the major institutions of Morningside Heights have since the beginning tried to physically secede from the Black and Puerto Rican communities geographically below the Morningside plateau, while also symbolically rising above them as beacons of progress. The volume charts the coordinated effort among elites to use space to naturalize relations of power and prestige, illuminating the past, present, and uncertain future of racial discrimination and exclusivity in Morningside Heights and in New York City at large.

Racism in the Neoliberal Era explains how simple racial binaries like black/white are no longer sufficient to explain the persistence of racism, capitalism, and elite white power. The neoliberal era features the largest Black middle class in US history and extreme racial marginalization. Hohle focuses on how the origins and expansion of neoliberalism depended on a racial language of white-private/black public, operating as a web of racial meanings that connect social groups with economic policy, geography, and police brutality. When America was racially segregated, elites consented to political pressure to develop and fund white-public institutions. The Black civil rights movement eliminated legal barriers that prevented racial integration. The elite white response to Black civic inclusion was to deregulate the Voting Rights Act and banking policy - giving themselves tax cuts and implementing austerity measures on government programs to aid the poor, privatizing neighborhoods, schools, and social welfare, creating markets around poverty. Citizenship was recast as a privilege instead of a right. Neoliberalism is the result of an elite white meta strategy to maintain political and economic power.This new edition is thoroughly revised and updated to take account of the further history and debates over neoliberalism in the Trump and Biden eras, and the significant social and political discussions around race and racism, policing, housing, health care, and citizenship as they interconnect with the American neoliberal economic and political system. The new edition will be a vital textbook for students, instructors, and researchers in sociology, politics, race, and economics.

Spanning the 1720s through the end of the Civil War, this book explores how free and enslaved Black North Carolinians accessed, possessed, and used firearms-both legal and otherwise-and how the state and white people responded. North Carolinians, whether free or enslaved, Black or white, had different stakes on the issue, all of which impacted the reality of Black people's gun use. Antwain K. Hunter reveals that armed Black people used firearms for a wide range of purposes: They hunted to feed their families and communities, guarded property, protected crops, and defended maroon communities from outsiders. Further, they resisted the institution of slavery and used guns both against white people and within their own community. Competing views of Black people's firearm use created social, political, and legal points of contention for different demographics within North Carolina and left the general assembly and white civilians struggling to harness Black people's armed labor for white people's benefit. A Precarious Balance challenges readers to rethink how they understand race and firearms in the American past.

Due to shifting demographic trends and the increased need for workers, immigration continues to grow in many parts of the world. However, the increased diversity that immigration creates within societies is also associated with intergroup friction, perceived threat, and the rise of extremist right-wing nationalist movements, making it a central political issue that impacts societies globally. This book presents a psychological explanation of the immigration challenge in the 21st century and the ongoing backlash against immigrants by examining within nations and beyond national borders. It explains the relationship between immigration and national identity through an analysis of the intersection of globalization, deglobalization, and collective behavior. Addressing a crucial gap in existing literature, it applies a psychological perspective on immigration and offers new solutions to address the complex challenges facing minorities, asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, and host society members.

In the period between the twentieth century's two world wars, Black and Muslim people from the United States, South Asia, and the Caribbean collided across an expansive diasporic geography. As these people and their ideas came into contact, they reignited the practice of Islam among people of African descent living in the United States and the Anglophone Caribbean and prompted them to adopt new understandings of their place in the world. As the freedom dreams of these diasporic communities met the realities and limitations of colonialism and race in the Atlantic world, Islam presented new strategies for combatting oppression and introduced new allies in the struggle. Envisioning the geography and significance of this encounter within what she calls the Atlantic Crescent, Alaina M. Morgan draws on an expansive archive to show how Black and Muslim people imagined, understood, and acted on their religious and racial identities. Morgan reveals how her subjects' overlapping diasporic encounters with Islam led to varied local adaptation as well as common ground to pursue liberation from racial subjugation and white supremacy.

A gripping biography of a man who escaped slavery and became a key figure in the American abolitionist movement Jermain Wesley Loguen (1813-1872) was a fugitive from slavery, an abolitionist, and a minister, teacher, and political activist. He worked alongside Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, and his home in Syracuse, New York, was among the most publicized Underground Railroad stations in the northern states. Loguen's political commitments in the years before the Civil War were carried out at great personal risk, for he had liberated himself from slavery in Tennessee and was in constant danger of being captured and reenslaved under the Fugitive Slave Law. Defiantly, however, he refused to purchase his own freedom, an act that he believed would have legitimized the rights of slaveholders. After emancipation, Loguen extended his work to aid freedpeople in the South and provide for local Black communities' education, welfare, and safety throughout upstate New York and Canada. In this engaging study, Angela F. Murphy follows Loguen from his early years through his transformation into one of the brightest stars in the constellation of abolitionists and reformers in New York, bringing context to the dangers he faced as a fugitive and shining a light on his steadfast determination to create a better world.

At the height of the civil rights movement, Charles C. Diggs Jr. (1922-1998) was the consummate power broker. In a political career spanning 1951 to 1980, Diggs, Michigan's first Black member of Congress, was the only federal official to attend the trial of Emmett Till's killers, worked behind the scenes with Martin Luther King Jr., and founded the Congressional Black Caucus. He was also the chief architect of legislation that restored home rule to Washington, DC, and almost single-handedly ignited the American anti-apartheid movement in the 1960s. Drawing on extensive archival research, including Diggs's rarely seen personal papers, FBI documents, and original interviews with family members and political associates, political scientist Marion Orr reveals that Diggs practiced a politics of strategic moderation. Orr argues that this quiet approach was more effective than the militant race politics practiced by Adam Clayton Powell and more appealing than the conservative Chicago-style approach of William Dawson-two of Diggs's better-known Black contemporaries. Vividly written and deeply researched, House of Diggs is the first biography of Congressman Charles C. Diggs Jr., one of the most consequential Black federal legislators in US history. Congressman Diggs was a legislative lion whose unfortunate downfall punctuated his distinguished career and pushed him and his historic accomplishments out of sight. Now, for the first time, House of Diggs restores him to his much-deserved place in the history of American politics.

Weaving together theory, research, and practice, this edited volume provides rich accounts of teaching from faculty at a predominantly white institution who participated in a community of antiracist praxis - a cycle of action and reflection on pedagogy.The chapters highlight the ways in which faculty can transform classrooms and colorblind discourses in higher education. They center the voices of faculty who are 'on the ground' and grappling with their own positionality and academic training to present an antiracist pedagogy that emphasises student agency and authority, exposes whiteness in course content and inquiry processes, and introduces students to new ways of knowing that are racially just. Each contributing author offers principles, teaching activities, and resources that readers can apply in their own disciplinary or interdisciplinary contexts.Written for faculty, graduate students, DEI administrators, and pedagogy specialists in higher education, this book urges readers who work and teach in higher education to action, and paves a path forward through the creation of communities of antiracist praxis.

In 1867, Frances Anne Rollin, a Black writer and teacher from South Carolina, traveled to Boston to seek a publisher for her biography of famed Black abolitionist, writer, and Civil War veteran Martin R. Delany-the first full-length biography written by an African American. Beginning in January 1868, Rollin kept a diary while in Boston documenting her progression on Delany's biography, negotiations with publishers, visits from friends, attendance at lectures and readings, and her marriage to William J. Whipper, a Black politician and jurist. Rollin's diary is one of the earliest known diaries by a Southern Black woman. In this critical edition Jennifer Putzi offers the first complete transcription and annotation of Rollin's diary, along with a robust introduction providing important biographical, historical, cultural, and literary contexts for readers. Rollin's diary provides one of the fullest pictures of an African American woman as an author, activist, and well-connected and politically involved individual during the Reconstruction era-filling a gap in the literature and scholarly analysis of such preserved works by nineteenth-century African American women.

This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the social psychology of conflict rooted in human evolution, with a particular focus on migration and its challenges in a globalized world. It examines theories for how conflict emerges between cultural, social, and political groups striving to advance their own interests and agendas and considers their impact on democratic systems that guarantee human rights and freedoms. Building on the study of social psychological tendencies and motivations, including human needs for identity and affiliation, new empirical procedures are introduced for bridging cultural, social, and political divides that encourage students, scholars, and policymakers to consider reconciliatory strategies for conflict resolution. By examining political leanings and tendencies for activism and democratic engagement, this book articulates the ethical and political moral grounds guiding decision-making in intergroup and intercultural relations and challenges readers to reflect on their moral standpoints.

In 822, Black Charlestonians attempted to overthrow slavery. They were exposed before they could strike, and many were tried and executed in what has come to be known as the Denmark Vesey Affair. Take Freedom reinterprets these events on the basis of new evidence and methods. James O'Neil Spady narrates the roles of a variety of Black men and women, arguing that the uprising was a broadly based, African-influenced social movement that marshaled radical love and fugitive practices of freedom to ignite a revolution that sought to liberate beloved friends, families, and communities from increasingly aggressive and racializing slaveowners.Uncovering never-before-consulted, unpublished documents, Spady names the clerk who made the trial records and settles old arguments about their reliability. Take Freedom demonstrates the realism of the uprising movement's strategy and uses social network mapping to illustrate the social dynamics within the Black community, emphasizing the roles of women and relationships among enslaved people. Ultimately, this book offers a more inclusive and accurate portrayal of this pivotal yet understudied revolutionary movement.

The story of the long fight for freedom of African captives rescued from the illegal slave trade only to be forced back into bondage The Bonds of Freedom tells the forgotten story of people seized from slave ships by maritime patrols, "liberated," then forced into bonded labor between 1807 and 1880. Using extensive archival research from Sierra Leone, South Africa, Brazil, Cuba, the United Kingdom, and the United States, historian Jake Subryan Richards uncovers the contrasting ideas and practices of authoritarianism and freedom that empires and liberated Africans developed during the protracted end of the illegal slave trade. Following the Africans' journeys from enslavement to liberation, Richards recounts their capture and embarkation on ships that participated in the vast slave trade to Brazil and Cuba, the maritime seizure of those ships, and the adjudication that assigned freed captives to bonded labor. The captives fought against their bondage as state agents limited their freedom of choice and movement. The liberated Africans' story shows that, far from following a straightforward path to freedom, these men and women navigated anti-slave-trade laws that both subjected them to authoritarian control and provided a domain for them to create their own visions of freedom. Through meticulous research and engaging narrative, Richards sheds light on their legal battles, community-building efforts, and ongoing quest for justice and autonomy in the face of enduring challenges.

Boyle, Estelle, Networks of Belonging: Refugee and Migrant Inclusion in Australia, and Digital Communication. (Digital Diaspora Series) 230 pp. 2025:8 (Routledge, UK) <748-674>

This book examines how digitally networked communication technologies create spaces of belonging for people of refugee and migrant backgrounds in resettlement contexts, focusing on Australia.The internet has become a primary facilitator for social connection, transforming how displaced and mobile people maintain relationships across distance. For communities facing significant barriers to connection, such as globally dispersed social networks and often the inability to return to their place of origin, digital technologies can offer vital pathways to belonging and social inclusion in new environments. The book grounds its analysis by first considering the history of refugee and migrant inclusion in Australia and the historical practice of migrant letter-writing, as a critical analogue reference point to today's digital ubiquity. By investigating how communication technologies enable access to social connection, particularly among those navigating resettlement, the research offers lived perspectives on the evolving nature of digital sociality and its importance for refugee and migrant communities. While digital platforms and global connections meaningfully support inclusion and belonging, physical and local interaction remains indispensable. Digitally networked communication technologies serve as valuable connection tools, most significantly by including those otherwise marginalised, facilitating in-person encounters, and localising global experiences regardless of physical location. Yet this represents only half the picture. By often prioritising global and digital connections, networked communications can paradoxically render people absent or disconnected from local and physical spaces, potentially leading to exclusion rather than inclusion. The book establishes three key dyadic relationships of interstitiality framing its analysis: inclusion-exclusion, digital-physical, and local-global. Its significance lies in highlighting the nuances of situated lives and personal narratives gathered through qualitative interviews and photo-elicitation with people of refugee and migrant backgrounds in Melbourne, Australia, while advocating for a relational understanding of social inclusion, exclusion, and belonging; digital and physical sociality; and a local and global sense of place.

オーストラリアの入植者の植民地における人種、移動性、植民地のシティズンシップ

Lying between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Australia served as a crossroads for trade and migration across the British Empire. Australia's settler colonies were not only subject to British immigration but were also the destination of emigration from Asia and 'Asia Minor' on terms of both permanent settlement and fixed indenture. Amanda Nettelbeck argues that these unique patterns shaped nineteenth-century debates about the relationship of the settler colonies to a porous empire. She explores how intersecting concerns around race and mobility - two of the most enduring concerns of nineteenth-century governance - changed the terms of British subjecthood and informed the possibilities of imagined colonial citizenship. European mobility may have fuelled the invasive spread of settler colonialism and its notion of transposed 'Britishness', but non-European forms of mobility also influenced the terms on which new colonial identities could be made.

Indian Diaspora in the Persian Gulf States focuses on the historical as well as the contemporary aspects of the Indian diaspora of the region where small Indian merchant communities called Banians already existed for centuries. Persian Gulf countries emerged as rentier states since the 1970s, mainly due to the development of the oil industry, which transformed the region from subsistence to globalized capitalist economies. In these economies, the role of sponsored Indian expatriate immigrants numbering at least 20 million during the past half century was vitally important. Taking the rentier state as the theoretical perspective, the author argues that the sponsorship (kafala) system tended to have a different impact on the Indian expatriates: incorporation and promotion of the entrepreneurs and professionals as business elites and the perpetual exploitation of the working classes. The book is not only the first-ever definitive and comprehensive work on the Indian diaspora in the nine countries of the Gulf region, it also stands as the author's final statement on his three-odd decades of research and writing on the subject. Besides highlighting the role of Indian diaspora, the book also profiles all the Gulf-based recipients of the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Awards. Bilateral trade, investment and political relations between India and individual Persian Gulf states constitute another focus area of the volume. The volume will be an interesting read for teachers, researchers and policy-makers connected with migration and diaspora studies, labour studies, political economy, international relations and geopolitics.

長い19世紀におけるアフリカ系メキシコ人の生活－奴隷制、自由、歴史の著述

As the first book-length examination of abolition and its legacies in Mexico, this collection reveals innovative social, cultural, political, and intellectual approaches to Afro-Mexican history. It complicates the long-standing belief that Afro-Mexicans were erased from the nation. The volume instead shows how they created their own archival legibility by continuing and modifying colonial-era forms of resistance, among other survival strategies. The essays document the lives and choices of Afro-descended peoples, both enslaved and free, over the course of two centuries, culminating during the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Contributors examine how Afro-Mexicans who lived under Spanish rule took advantage of colonial structures to self-advocate and form communities. Beginning with the war for independence and continuing after the abolition of slavery and caste in the 1820s, Afro-descended citizens responded to and, at times, resisted the claims of racial disappearance to shape both local and national politics.

Migration between the United States and Mexico is often compared to the river that runs along the border: a "flow" of immigrants, a "flood" of documented and undocumented workers, a "dam" that has broken. Scholars, journalists, and novelists often tell this story from a south-to-north perspective, emphasizing Mexican migration to the United States, and the American response to the influx of people crossing its borders.In Caught in the Current, Irvin Ibargueen offers a Mexico-centered history of migration in the mid-twentieth century. Drawing on Mexican periodicals and archival sources, he explores how the Mexican state sought to manage US-bound migration. Ibargueen examines Mexico's efforts to blunt migration's impact on its economy, social order, and reputation, at times even aiming to restrict the flow of migrants. As a transnational history, the book highlights how Mexico's policies to moderate out-migration were contested by both the United States and migrants themselves, dooming them to fail. Ultimately, Caught in the Current reveals how both countries manipulated the border to impose control over a phenomenon that quickly escaped legal and political boundaries.

During the interwar years, the discourse of regional planning profoundly reformulated the spatiality of race and place in the United States. In the South, Jim Crow brutality and agriculture crisis fueled unprecedented population outmigration. Sociologist and author Howard W. Odum founded the Institute for Research in Social Science at the University of North Carolina to develop a Southern regionalism that reasserted organic territorial culture amid that flux. Regionalism connected the arts, humanities, and social sciences across the country in a collective effort to elevate place-based narrative and folk sensibility to an all-encompassing social theory. Stephen J. Ramos refocuses the history of US regionalism and regional planning on the South, illuminating the modern tensions inherent in regionalism as nostalgic cultural practice paired with future-oriented planning ideology. By tracing Southern regionalists' intellectual history and institutional biography, Ramos explores how they developed a regional-nationalism through survey and plan that came to inspire federal New Deal policies for the South. In showing how Odum's influence crossed regional and national borders, Ramos offers us a nuanced way to reappraise race, social science, and planning in the US South.

Amid a national housing affordability crisis with political and social implications, Washington, DC is notorious for its rapidly rising income inequality, high rates of displacement, and some of the most expensive rents in the country. Housing policy expert Rosemary Ndubuizu uncovers more than years of affordable housing politics in the nation's capital to illustrate local and national trends in how various social, economic, and political forces have worked together to ensure the persistent vulnerability of low-wage Black families to housing insecurity and displacement.Since the 9 s, Black women have been at the forefront of combating efforts to force them out of DC. The Undesirable Many recounts the history of Black women's tenant activism and organized opposition through a Black feminist materialism framework that exposes present-day housing inequities as deeply entangled in the politics and practices of gender and racial inequity. Drawing upon extensive archival research and dozens of in-depth interviews with Black women tenant activists and affordable housing advocates, Ndubuizu uncovers how gendered stereotypes of Black tenant irresponsibility have shaped market behavior and informed political justification for different consumer treatment. Politicians, landlords, and even nonprofit housing providers often championed disciplinary housing governance such as mandatory housekeeping classes, welfare garnishment, paternal property management, and case management, contending that the problem was not housing but the Black family itself. By exposing these strategies alongside low-income Black women's political perspectives and experiences, The Undesirable Many offers valuable lessons for contemporary challenges in affordable housing advocacy and welfare politics.

US immigration policy along the southwestern border is deadly. Since 1994, the US Border Patrol has implemented a federal immigration strategy known as "prevention through deterrence," which closed off many urban entry points along the US-Mexico border and militarized urban border crossings. This policy forced undocumented migrants to cross through dangerous terrain like the Sonoran Desert, often with tragic results. Immigrant advocates highlight migrant disappearances and deaths to expose the policy's human toll. In Disinventions, Jose Manuel Cortez argues this approach is unlikely to bring an end to such oppressive immigration practices.Disinventions examines the cultural, political, and rhetorical effects of US deterrence practices, exploring how discourse on immigration overlooks subjects who have always been a part of the borderlands but are rarely included in migration narratives. He highlights the failings of decolonial methods and discourse to fully capture and represent marginalized voices, including Black, Central American, and queer subjects. And he develops an ethics of unconditional hospitality embracing undocumented migrants. By drawing on the concept of "atopias" and what he calls "sites of disinvention" to unearth new forms of politics, Cortez suggests we can transcend the limits of decolonization discourse and humanize undocumented immigrants. This challenging and engaging work should appeal to scholars and students of rhetorical studies, Latinx studies, and American studies.

This book offers a contemporary understanding of the state of the art of 'crimmigration' with a focus on the European Union and challenges this paradigm of intersecting criminal justice and immigration control.The contributions to this book explore the conceptual and philosophical underpinnings of EU and national policies intertwining criminal and migration law, as well as their practical use (and abuse). They analyse migration control through criminal law from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives incorporating insights from law, philosophy, and criminology. The book revisits fundamental questions on the suitability of criminal law to regulate and govern migration and provide insights as to whether and how the law should be amended to limit the negative consequences of the criminalisation of migration. Authors critique key legal challenges crimmigration poses, in terms of legality, fundamental rights, and rule of law adherence. Finally, this volume outlines, through concrete examples, how criminalisation of migration translates into the emergence of hostile environments for migrants and those who assist them.This book will be of interest to criminologists, sociologists, legal scholars, and all those engaged in studies on migration and the European Union.

An important study of the interaction of refugees and cities, exploring how cities are affected, how they respond, and how they are transformed Cities all over the world experience large humanitarian influxes, and refugees and citizens alike must navigate the ensuing risks and opportunities. Over the past twenty-five years, Karen Jacobsen has studied the interaction of refugees and cities and has trained scores of graduate students, many of whom now work with United Nations agencies or humanitarian nongovernmental organizations. Her research team at Tufts and this global network of aid workers give her firsthand knowledge of the impact of forced migration on cities and the lives of refugees living there. Focusing on cities and refugees in Africa and the Middle East, Jacobsen draws universal lessons, distilling her research findings and wisdom from decades of experience into clear, vivid prose. The book is valuable for researchers, policy analysts, donors, and humanitarian workers in cities around the globe and for all readers trying to understand, beyond the headlines, one of the most troubling and volatile issues of our time.

This sweeping history tells a story of fits and starts of Mexican Americans' interactions with law enforcement and the criminal justice system in the US Southwest. Looking at primarily Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas, it tells a complex story: that violent, often racist acts committed by police against Mexican American people sparked protests demanding reform, and criminal justice authorities frequently responded positively to these protests with reforms such as recruiting Mexican Americans into local police forces or altering training procedures at police academies.Brian D. Behnken demonstrates the central role that the struggle for police reform played in the twentieth-century Chicano movement, whose relevance continues today. By linking social activism and law enforcement, Behnken illuminates how the policing issues of today developed and what reform remains to be done.

This book considers how neoliberal criminal law constructs racialised 'hypercriminals'.In a world of fake news and virtual reality, where social media posts seem more real than the materiality of racial capitalism, this book develops the idea of 'hypercriminality', as a means of explaining how racial disproportionalities in the criminal legal system persist, despite discourses of a post-racial meritocracy. Drawing on critical race theory, the work of Judith Butler, and Jean Baudrillard's conception of the hyperreal, the book considers how neoliberal legal discourse constructs and reproduces hyperreal racialised legal subjects. The simulated violent figure of the racialised gang member, rioter, drug dealer, or sexual predator is made to appear 'real' through legal and evidential concepts such as dangerousness or bad character. The belief that this simulation is real is deployed to justify the carceral state and masks the structural, and racialised, violence of capitalism itself. Revealing the 'hypercriminality' of racialised legal subjects, the book thus offers a timely critical legal intervention that aims to advance the urgent project of decarceration, abolition, and transformative justice.The book will appeal to scholars and students working in the areas of criminal law and evidence, criminology, criminal justice, socio-legal studies, and critical race theory.

How the Party at the Mailbox efforts in 2020-2024 led by Black Girls Vote used celebrations of community to increase voter turnout Black voters continue to transform America's electoral landscape and can play a powerful role in determining the outcome of elections. In Party at the Ballot Box, Melissa R. Michelson, Stephanie L. DeMora, and Sarah V. Hayes explore the impact of celebratory voter mobilization campaigns led by Black-led organizations on Black turnout, particularly as more states embrace voting-by-mail. Focusing on the Party at the Mailbox (PATM) initiative, coordinated by Black Girls Vote, Michelson, DeMora, and Hayes underscore what, exactly, motivates Black voters to show up to the polls. Using community-based informational and celebratory packages of materials, and with a mixed methods approach that includes randomized controlled trials, surveys, interviews, and focus groups, they show us how the PATM pilot increased Black turnout in Baltimore by double digits in the 2020 primaries. Despite voting by mail while sheltering in place, PATM made voters feel part of something bigger than themselves-that they were voting as a community. The successful pilot led to further PATM efforts in Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Richmond, and Philadelphia between November 2020 and November 2024. Ultimately, the authors argue that Black Americans vote as a celebration of community, and that cultivating that sense of community is an effective means of increasing Black voter turnout. With a foreword by Nykidra Robinson, founder of Black Girls Vote, Party at the Ballot Box provides insights into Black voter turnout and its larger implications.

A collection of movement flashpoints and insurgent visions for Asian American activism In the late 1960s, Asian American political activism emerged to unite disparate Asian diasporic communities living in the United States behind a radical political identity shaped by the Black Power and anti-imperialist movements of their times. Today, Asian Americans are more diverse, and, at times, more politically divided than ever before. In media and electoral politics, Asian Americans are celebrated as the fastest-growing racial demographic in the United States and claimed as evidence of racial progress. Yet the "rise" of Asian America rarely centers the coordinated forms of grassroots political organizing that Asian Americans have used to shape their place in society. In Asian America Rising, Diane Wong and Mark Tseng-Putterman bring together an interdisciplinary group of established and emerging scholars of Asian American activism and politics, community organizers, artists, archivists, and others to highlight the diversity of twenty-first century Asian American political movements across a number of critical areas. Based on deep collaborations between scholars and frontline organizers, contributors like Diane Fujino, Vichet Chhuon, Lakshmi Sridaran, and Kim Compoc examine different facets of the Asian American political experience, including the impact of immigrant detention and deportation; the emergence of conservative Chinese American opposition to affirmative action in higher education; abolitionist perspectives on the Stop Asian Hate movement; and transnational resistance to U.S. economic and military dominance in Hawai'i, the Philippines, and Okinawa. Ultimately, Wong and Tseng-Putterman show important shifts and emergent directions for Asian American politics in the twenty-first century. Focusing on grassroots mobilization and bold interventions beyond the formal political sphere, they shine a light on the diversity and power of Asian American political activism, cultural work, community building, mutual aid, and multiracial issue-based organizing.

The Russian aggression on Ukraine has drastically altered the migration situation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), drawing international attention. Despite numerous global studies on individuals seeking refuge, CEE remains underresearched. This book details the recent, lesser-known experiences of countless forced migrants who arrived there.Given the pivotal role of information and telecommunication technologies (ICTs) for both migrants and host societies, the book explores the intersection of ICTs and forced migration. With this in mind, the book focuses on Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary, and uses comprehensive research and robust qualitative methods to demonstrate how these countries are emerging as New Immigration Destinations and handling the influx of Ukrainians. Contributions from economists, sociologists, and political scientists provide a thorough examination of how Ukrainian forced migrants navigate their lives using modern technologies, as well as their impact on these technologies.Essential reading for academics, policymakers, and professionals in the fields of migration studies, digital governance, and European affairs, this book uniquely highlights the vital role of ICTs in migration decisions, journeys, settlement, and integration. It provides a balanced mix of theoretical analysis and practical insights, helping readers comprehend the interplay between ICTs and migration. Readers will obtain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities that digital technologies bring in facilitating and regulating forced migration in this part of Europe.

The book uncovers the nuances of the lives of unskilled migrant labourers in India. The qualitative approach, along with the social constructivist paradigm and ethnographic fieldwork demonstrates the nature of scientific inquiry carried out in this work. The data analysis methods supporting the narratives will not only help readers understand the experiences of the migrant communities but will also facilitate a bond of empathy with the participants.Taking a bottom-up approach, the book explores how migrant labourers' suffering, and their sense of wellbeing are deeply embedded in their existing surroundings. It throws light on the numerous communities across the world that are at high risk of developing mental health related problems due to existing socio-political conditions.The book will be useful to the students, researchers, and teachers of Sociology, Social Work, Anthropology, Psychology, Political Science, Economics, Public Policy and Administration. It will be especially be useful to mental health professionals, social workers and NGOs engaging with migrant or other marginalized communities.

There is a complicated history of racism and psychiatric healthcare in the Deep South states of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The asylums of the Jim Crow era employed African American men and women served as places of treatment and care for African Americans with psychiatric illnesses and, inevitably, were places of social control. Black people who lived and worked in these facilities needed to negotiate complex relationships of racism with their own notions of community, mental health, and healing.Kylie M. Smith mixes exhaustive archival research, interviews, and policy analysis to offer a comprehensive look at how racism affected Black Southerners with mental illness during the Jim Crow era. Complicated legal, political, and medical changes in the late twentieth century turned mental health services into a battlefield between political ideology and psychiatric treatment approaches, with the fallout having long-term consequences for patient outcomes. Smith argues that patterns of racially motivated abuse and neglect of mentally ill African Americans took shape during this era and continue to the present day. As the mentally ill become increasingly incarcerated, reminds readers that, for many Black Southerners, having a mental illness was-and still is-tantamount to committing a crime.
