This innovative study introduces the concept of xiangchou - homesickness and rural nostalgia - to English-language scholarship, using it as a lens through which to explore rural development in contemporary China. Using hometown ethnography, Linda Qian takes a village in Zhejiang province as her primary case study to demonstrate the emotional, social, and political forces shaping rural return migration and development policies. Through personal narratives and state-led initiatives, she reveals how xiangchou functions as both a 'structure of feeling' and a tool of affective governance. By intertwining lived experiences with broader social and political contexts, this study highlights the overlapping desires projected onto the countryside and underscores the significance of the 'rural' in the traditional concept of the 'hometown.'

Han, Ju Hui Judy, Queer Throughlines: Spaces of Queer Activism in South Korea and the Korean Diaspora. (Global Queer Asias) 248 pp. 2025:10 (U. Michigan Pr., US) <751-822>

Queer Throughlines draws on years of direct participation, interviews, and ethnography to examine transnational Korean LGBTQ+ activism since the 1990s. Han maps the sites and routes of leftist and queer political movements, highlighting challenges posed by Christian conservatives in both South Korea and the US. The book uses the concept of "throughlines" to weave together a web of movement stories across time and space: a coalition of Los Angeles-based LGBTQ+ activists and allies fighting an anti-gay petition campaign led by Korean immigrant churches; queer activists involved in anti-war protests in Seoul; progressive clergy embracing inclusivity and risking heresy charges and excommunication; and queer and trans activists refusing to be sidelined from visions of political change underway. These moments do not always line up in a straightforward narrative of victory or progress, yet they create powerful lines of solidarity, community, and kinship.

Finding Mr. Perfect explores the romantic relationships between Korean men and women who were inspired by romantic Korean televisual depictions of Korean masculinity to travel to Korea as tourists. Author Min Joo Lee argues that disparate racialized erotic desires of Korean pop culture fans, foreign tourists to Korea, Korean men, and the Korean nation converge to configure the interracial and transnational relationships between these tourists and Korean men. Lee observes how racial prejudices are developed and manifested through interracial and transnational intimate desires and encounters. This book is the first to examine the interracial relationships between Hallyu tourists and Korean men. Furthermore, it is the first to analyze Korea as a popular romance tourist destination for heterosexual women. Finding Mr. Perfect illuminates South Korean popular culture's transnational fandom and tourism as a global phenomenon where fantasies and realities converge to have a tangible impact on individual lives.

This Handbook is a charting exercise to determine contemporary patterns of Indian migration to Southeast Asia. It will determine two waves/sectors of the Indian migration process to Southeast Asia, high skilled migration and semi-skilled to low skilled migration. However, such a research project is not complete without understanding the context of social and political dilemmas of Indian communities in Southeast Asia as well as the interstitial spaces some Indian migrants or migrant communities might fall through as stateless Indians or Indian communities. The Handbook is premised largely on Indian-ASEAN, twenty-five years of partnering relations in diplomacy, politics, economy, people to people exchange, human capital development and exchange as well as coordinated infrastructural development. It reinforces the much-discussed 'Look East' and current 'Act East' initiatives of the Indian government, highlighting cooperation with the Southeast Asian and East Asian economies, as some political perspectives suggest, to counterbalance China's economic influence in the region.

A memoir of how the Amazigh people successfully fought for their recognition in MoroccoFor decades after Moroccan independence in 1956, the struggle of the Amazigh people for their indigenous rights and cultural preservation took center stage. They fought against their erasure under an exclusivist Arab nationalist regime. Ultimately, they were successful, yet the history of the Amazigh Cultural Movement and its profound impact on North African society have remained largely inaccessible to English speakers, leaving a gap in our understanding of postcolonial resistance, indigenous rights, and cultural preservation efforts.The Amazigh Revival is the memoir of Brahim Akhiate, an Amazigh academic, writer, and organizer who was a leader of the Amazigh movement. Translated into English for the first time, it offers unprecedented insight into the Amazighs' fight for recognition and a place in Moroccan society through the first-hand account of a key figure who guided it, starting in the 1960s. Akhiate describes the personal sacrifices, ideological tensions, intellectual debates, and eventual triumphs that led to the constitutional recognition of the Amazigh language and a more inclusive identity.This memoir, the first work in the Amazigh Studies series, offers English speakers crucial access to previously unavailable perspectives on one of North Africa's most significant cultural movements. Scholars and students across multiple disciplines-including the Middle East and North Africa (Tamazgha), postcolonial history, global indigenous studies, Arabic literature, and Amazigh studies-will benefit from Akhiate's detailed recounting of this important political and cultural moment in Moroccan history whose impact has been felt across North Africa.

The Anglo-American invasion of Iraq and the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 brought exiles of Hussein's tyrannical reign flooding back to their native land, bringing with them the flavours and customs from adopted homes and with it sweeping, transnational power. 'Handing over power to the Iraqis' meant handing over power to the country's most elite transplants. Meanwhile, transnational diasporic activism and networks have simultaneously challenged state policies, buttressing the state apparatus through welfare provision and solidarity networks. How did the Iraqi diaspora achieve such a powerful position and shape the Iraqi state in 2003? What kind of state did they build? And what lessons can be learnt from the Iraqi diaspora for understanding Iraqi nationhood and statehood today? This study explores these questions, drawing on interviews with a wide range of actors to offer a pertinent insight into the critical role of diaspora in shaping the evolution of homeland states under modern processes of globalisation.

For most of their history, the people around the Persian Gulf littoral were socially intertwined and economically interdependent. But the twentieth century ushered in nationalization projects, British imperial intervention, and border regulations, all of which posed challenges to everyday mobility in this oceanic world. Those crossing the water became the primary foil for bordering spaces, restricting and regulating movement, and defining difference more generally. Belonging on Both Shores tells the story of people's struggles to move freely between Iran and the Arab shores of the Gulf as the unregulated mobility that had characterized everyday life in the nineteenth century was increasingly policed in the twentieth. Using a wide range of Arabic, Persian, and English sources, Lindsey Stephenson demonstrates how state officials refined notions of territorial belonging against the movement of Iranians, the most visible mobile "group" in the Persian Gulf arena. Engaging migrant voices, Stephenson narrates how Iranians challenged a perceived requirement to belong to a single place and highlights the techniques these migrants employed to remain connected to both shores. Tracing the movement of Iranians across and around the Persian Gulf and investigating how the technologies of state and mobility transformed fluidity and people's understanding of movement, this book tells a new story of how the modern Gulf was formed.

In 2015, Mexico City declared itself a "gay-friendly" city and followed up with a gay tourist guide and new laws permitting changes to gender markers on legal documents, sanctioning same-sex marriage, and allowing joint adoption of children. At the same time, patterns of violence and discrimination against women, trans, and queer people have continued throughout the country. In Queer Relajo, David Tenorio argues that while Mexico City aims to bring visibility to queer sociality, the benefits of this visibility and legitimization of queer space remain unclear. Combining readings of film, digital media, and performance with drag autoethnography, Queer Relajo quite literally plays with how relajo (or playfulness) structures the spaces of queer nightlife in urban Mexico City by revealing how nighttime intimacy can minimize the paralyzing effects of violence and precarity in a neoliberal Mexico. Considering the political implications of when a queer/trans person is present at night, Tenorio argues that queer modes of feeling and play are not only essential to queer liberation, but also resist neoliberal commodification and heteronormativity.

Families for Mobility documents elite Korean transnational families, focusing on how they use elite education abroad as a tool for class reproduction. Drawing on over 100 interviews with both parents and children at elite U.S. colleges, the book explores the desires, aspirations, and expectations that shape these education-driven transnational family arrangements. By triangulating the perspectives of children, mothers, and fathers, Families for Mobility argues that gendered transnational parenting-by both mothers and fathers-plays a crucial role in the intergenerational transmission of mobility and cosmopolitan lifestyles. The analysis shows how class and gender shape both parents' and children's approaches to their transnational 'family projects,' with fathers and sons appearing more resourceful and ambitious than mothers and daughters, reflecting the gender achievement gap even among the elite. The book challenges stereotypes of Asian high achievers and 'tiger' parenting, providing a more nuanced understanding of who thrives in the hierarchical realms of global education and business, as well as the familial support systems behind their success.

Uncovering the Black Power movement's contributions to theorizing the politics of automation? On the Eve of the Cybercultural Revolution offers a comprehensive look at the Black Power movement's theoretical work and insights into the entanglement of capitalism, technology, and racism. Drawing upon James and Grace Lee Boggs's expanded notion of the cybercultural era, Brian Bartell demonstrates how a range of artists, writers, and activists from the 1960s prefigured the wider discourse around automation and made it a central concern of their politics. Rather than reducing automation to an isolated technical phenomenon, theorists of the Black radical tradition identified its important historical antecedents in colonialism and plantation slavery, emphasizing how the emerging cyberculture joined with issues such as the reorganization of labor, ecological harm, and racial inequality. Examining the work of Martin Luther King Jr., Noah Purifoy, the Black Panthers, and others, On the Eve of the Cybercultural Revolution outlines the new forms of social reproduction conceived outside of the dominant structures of racial capitalism. Bartell synthesizes a wide range of source texts, including political speeches, literature, and activist archives, to show how the Black Power movement sought to create a postscarcity, more-than-capitalist economy. By shedding light on the movement's underexplored engagement with theories of technology, he provides a crucial key to understanding the historical dynamics responsible for our technocapitalist present.

Black Orpheus and the Globalization of Afro-Brazilian Culture is the first historical study in English to examine the development, production, and reception of the 1958 film Black Orpheus and its legacy in the 1960s and 1970s. It focuses on the making of the film and the trajectories of the major actors and musicians who helped construct and image of Black Brazil and provides an analysis of the globalization of Afro-Brazilian images and music in France and the United States in the wake of the movie's success. Using archival sources, interviews, and the secondary literature from France, Brazil and the United States, this book reveals information about the cultural histories of all three countries and gives readers new insight into the trajectories of diverse actors such as Breno Mello, Marpessa Dawn and Leea Garcia and performers such as Agostinho dos Santos, Baden Powell and Maria D'Apparecida.

Lars Cornelissen argues that the category of race constitutes an organizing principle of neoliberal ideology. Using the methods of intellectual history and drawing on insights from critical race studies, Cornelissen explores the various racial constructs that structure neoliberal ideology, some of which are explicit, while others are more coded. Beginning in the interwar period and running through to recent developments, Neoliberalism and Race shows that racial themes have always pervaded neoliberal thinking. The book's key argument is that neoliberal thought is constitutively racialized-its racial motifs cannot be extracted from neoliberalism without rendering it theoretically and politically incoherent. The book aptly explores a wide variety of racial constructs through the structure of neoliberal ideology, deconstructing the conceptualizations works of landmark thinkers such as Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Peter Bauer, Thomas Sowell, Charles Murray, and others from the early twentieth century to the present. In this original-perhaps controversial-critique, Cornelissen asserts that neoliberal thinkers were not just the passive recipients of racial discourse, but also directly impacted it.

Kaum jemand bezeichnet sich als Antisemit, doch Antisemitismus ist fraglos in den oeffentlichen Raum zurueckgekehrt. Erstmals wird hier vergleichend untersucht, inwiefern Antisemitismus auch wieder zum Gegenstand politischer Mobilisierungen in liberalen Demokratien geworden ist ? und welche Rolle dabei Desinformation im postfaktischen Zeitalter spielt. Dabei wird analysiert, wie sich die Gelegenheitsstrukturen fuer Antisemitismus in demokratischen Gesellschaften veraendert haben und warum er heute wieder, wenn auch teils in camouflierten Formen, von verschiedenen Parteien und Bewegungen politisch eingespannt wird. Lars Rensmann ist Professor fuer Politikwissenschaft und Autor zahlreicher Untersuchungen zum Antisemitismus und Rechtsradikalismus.

Pioneering field work reveals how infrastructural systems-buildings, laws, algorithms, excavators, regulations, toxins-maintain white supremacy within the urban landscape For decades, Detroit residents, politicians, planners, and advocacy organizations have campaigned for the elimination of empty buildings from city neighborhoods. Leveling these structures, many argue, is essential to making space for Detroit's majority-Black populace to flourish in the wake of white flight and deindustrialization. In 2013, the city set out to demolish more than twenty thousand empty buildings by the end of the decade, with administrators suggesting it would offer an innovative model for what other American cities could do to combat the effects of racist disinvestment. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research with city residents, demolition workers, and public officials, as well as analyses of administrative archives, Demolishing Detroit examines the causes, procedures, and consequences of empty-building demolitions in Detroit. Contrary to stated goals of equity, the book reveals how racism and intersecting inequities endured despite efforts to level them. As calls to dismantle racist systems have become increasingly urgent, this book provides cautionary tales of urban transformations meant to combat white supremacy that ultimately reinforced inequality. Bridging political analyses of racial capitalism, infrastructures, and environments in cities, Nick Caverly grapples with the reality that tearing down unjust policies, ideologies, and landscapes is not enough to end racist disparities in opportunities and life chances. Doing so demands rebuilding systems in the service of reparative futures.

Trumpism is a movement. It is also a way of speaking - one that now transcends the person for whom it is named. While the movement might be built on resentment, fear of "the other", and anti-democratic thinking more generally, the power of Trumpism -- the way that it has seeped into public discourse such that its most extreme ideas no longer seem shocking - is not in what is said, but how. It operates on two levels. First it deploys lies, misinformation and conspiracy theories to demonize enemies. Second, it minimizes the extreme nature of its statements by making them seem normal, as common-sense political discourse. Most critically, Trumpism provides supporters with permission to deny reality while dehumanizing opponents. In this book, Sanford Schram focuses specifically on three elements of the rhetorical style of Trumpism: gaslighting, boomeranging and coopting. Schram illustrates how Trumpism uses each of these linguistic moves to make claims about racism, fascism, civil war, and the criminal charges against Donald Trump. He concludes with projections about the future of Trumpism and appropriate responses to it.

Angesichts hoher Zuwanderungszahlen wirken Politik und Verwaltung hilflos und ueberfordert, zuweilen handlungsunfaehig, waehrend vor allem die anhaltend hohen Fluechtlingszahlen kaum noch Akzeptanz in der Bevoelkerung finden. Gleichzeitig besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass Deutschland Zuwanderung braucht. Meinungsbilder in Politik und Medien bewegen sich zwischen zwei Extremen: Offenheit und populistischer Ablehnung jeder Art von Zuwanderung. Was fehlt ist eine sachliche Auseinandersetzung mit den Fragen, die sich hinsichtlich einer guten Migrationspolitik stellen. Dieses Buch stellt historische Entwicklungen, juristische Grundlagen und empirische Erkenntnisse zum Einwanderungsland Deutschland entlang oeffentlich diskutierter Themen verstaendlich dar. Damit soll zur Versachlichung der Diskussion beigetragen und dem Leser die Moeglichkeit geben werden, seinen Standpunkt zu ueberpruefen, zu korrigieren oder erst noch zu finden.

Migration and minority rights are increasingly at the forefront of global discourse. Minority Memory, Identity, and Reconciliation explores the lives of two often overlooked minority communities: the Greek Orthodox minority in Istanbul, Tuerkiye, and the Turkish Muslim minority in Western Thrace, Greece. As empires dissolved, the leaders and political elites of new, smaller nations that emerged embarked on population exchanges to increase the ethnic and religious homogeneity of their nation-states. Although these two minority communities differ in religious, ethnic, and socioeconomic terms, they both offer unique perspectives on what happens to people who live on what is perceived as the wrong side of an arbitrarily drawn border. Drawing from the personal stories of members of these two minority communities regarding their struggle with displacement, discrimination, and cultural assimilation, as well as comprehensive historical analysis, this book examines how historical traumas, national policies, and sociopolitical dynamics have influenced contemporary minority memory and identity formation. By incorporating interviews with community leaders, civil society representatives, and state officials, this book offers a rich, multifaceted perspective on the processes of memory and identity formation that underscores the broader implications of these processes for international relations in the region and minority rights. Guel M. Guer pulls together theories of nationalism, collective memory, and narrative practice to highlight the unique process of minority memory work and its role in sustaining minority identity and their advocacy efforts.

This book examines the representation of migrants and the European Union (EU) in the Romanian and British press, adopting a Critical Discourse Analysis approach to analyse a corpus of newspaper articles published between 1st January 2006 and 31st December 2018. The analysis reveals that through conceptual metaphors, migrants were likened to objects, ships, illegal goods, waves, flows, liquids, invaders, enemies and threats. The key themes identified in the analysis are the quantification and the 'otherisation' of migrants, as well as their portrayal as economic burdens or invaders in their destination countries. With regard to the EU, the author explores how both countries' memberships have followed different trajectories than those of other member states, ever since their accession to the EU bloc. The novelty of this research lies in the diachronic comparison of the representations of migrants and the European Union in Romania, a country characterised by emigration, versus the United Kingdom, a country characterised by immigration. This volume will be of interest to academics and students concerned with issues to do with migration and the EU, including those in fields such as political communication, migration policy, sociology of migration, and the language of media.

The intensified securitization of the borderlands between Europe and the Middle East/North Africa over the past decade has turned the Mediterranean Sea into a graveyard. This book delves into the most vulnerable, yet understudied, area of the EU's anti-immigrant security regime: the port cities in border zones on major refugee routes. Turam shifts the predominant focus from the global scale of fear to the urban scale of native-migrant solidarity in Greece and Sicily-Europe's two major entrance points in the East and Central Mediterranean. Building upon a rapidly growing scholarship on emotional geographies and affective geopolitics, Turam brings emotions to the center and emphasizes their role in forming, transforming, contesting, interrupting, and even evading the securitization of migration. Within the context of rising racism, nativism, and Islamophobia, readers will discover surprising and inspiring acts of day-to-day resistance to securitization empowered by a sense of safety and local trust, as well as cooperation between municipalities, pro-migrant locals, and asylum-seekers. Uncovering how racialized migrants become the catalyst of transformation from the violent legacy of borderlands to peaceful resistance, the ethnography reveals how intense emotions affect pro-migrant practices, contribute to the formation of safe places, and open the way for dynamic Black and Muslim migrant activism and solidarity at Europe's racial borders.

Migration und demographische Veraenderungsprozesse praegen gesellschaftliche und politische Diskurse in Deutschland. In diesem Kontext werden die Religion von Menschen muslimischen Glaubens haeufig pauschal als problematisch eingestuft und ihre Integrationsbereitschaft angezweifelt. Es entsteht der Eindruck, dass Muslim:innen als ausserhalb der Mehrheitsgesellschaft stehend betrachtet sowie ihre alltaeglichen Lebenswelten ignoriert werden. Basierend auf ethnografischer Forschung nimmt dieses Buch Muslim:innen in den neuen Bundeslaendern, ihre religioesen Praktiken, Verhaeltnisse zur Religion und normativen Aushandlungsprozesse in den Blick.

Unsicherheit bestimmt unsere Zeit, soziale Gewissheiten stehen auf dem Pruefstand. So auch der gesellschaftliche Konsens, dass Rassismus verwerflich ist. Damit stellen sich grundlegende, unbequeme Fragen: Welchen Wert hat dieser Konsens ueberhaupt (noch)? Laesst er sich verteidigen, soll er ueberhaupt verteidigt werden? Und wie? Antworten bietet die US-amerikanische rechts- und sozialtheoretische Denkschule der "Critical Race Theory", deren Entwicklung und Erkenntnisse um Recht und Rassismus zeigen, was wir im Angesicht aktueller Bewaehrungsproben zum Erhalt des sozialen Zusammenhalts tun koennen. Daniel-Thabani Ncube rekonstruiert den rechtlichen und sozialen Hintergrund dieser Denkschule, legt ihre theoretischen Grundlagen offen und macht ihre Einsichten erstmals einem deutschsprachigen Publikum zugaenglich.

An unprecedented study that puts mixed-ancestry Native Americans back into the heart of Indigenous history Historical accounts tend to neglect mixed-ancestry Native Americans: racially and legally differentiated from nonmixed Indigenous people by U.S. government policy, their lives have continually been treated as peripheral to Indigenous societies. Mixed-Blood Histories intervenes in this erasure. Using legal, linguistic, and family-historical methods, Jameson R. Sweet writes mixed-ancestry Dakota individuals back into tribal histories, illuminating the importance of mixed ancestry in shaping and understanding Native and non-Native America from the nineteenth century through today. When the U.S. government designated mixed-ancestry Indians as a group separate from both Indians and white Americans-a distinction born out of the perception that they were uniquely assimilable as well as manipulable intermediate figures-they were afforded rights under U.S. law unavailable to other Indigenous people, albeit inconsistently, which included citizenship and the rights to vote, serve in public office, testify in court, and buy and sell land. Focusing on key figures and pivotal "mixed-blood histories" for the Dakota nation, Sweet argues that in most cases, they importantly remained Indians and full participants in Indigenous culture and society. In some cases, they were influential actors in establishing reservations and negotiating sovereign treaties with the U.S. government. Culminating in a pivotal reexamination of the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862, Mixed-Blood Histories brings greater diversity and complexity to existing understandings of Dakota kinship, culture, and language while offering insights into the solidification of racial categories and hierarchies in the United States.

Boutros, Magda, The Police, Activists, and Knowledge: The Struggle Against Racialized Policing in France. 277 pp. 2026:2 (Stanford U. Pr., US) <751-526>

Over the past fifteen years in France, police brutality, racial profiling, and police impunity have become salient issues of the public and political debate. In this book, Magda Boutros examines the social movements that brought these issues to the forefront of public conversations and analyzes how they influenced the terms of the debate about policing and inequality. In France, like in other countries, the police hold significant power to determine what is known - and what remains hidden - about their practices. Drawing on a comparative ethnography of three activist coalitions, Boutros shows the different ways activists produced evidence about policing and racial inequalities: collecting quantitative data, documenting lived experiences of police targets, or victims coming together to analyze patterns of oppression. Each approach to data production shaped activists' conceptions of police violence and racism, their ability to push beyond a "bad apples" narrative, and their visions for change. It also impacted their capacity to push the boundaries of what is knowable and sayable in the media, policy, and judicial fields. Boutros argues that we must pay attention to the capacity of the police to control what we know, and to the methods movements use to produce knowledge about policing and inequality.

Youth workers are essential to the fabric of society. Schools, families, and many of our social institutions rely heavily on their work, yet their contributions often go unrecognized. Laboring in the Shadows explores the critical role of Black youth workers, especially in the lives of vulnerable youth, and the challenges they face in their unstable, underappreciated position. Bianca J. Baldridge situates the experiences of Black youth workers within the broader context of anti-Blackness and historical inequities. Drawing on rich interview data from across the United States, Baldridge offers a nuanced analysis of how the precarity of this work-marked by high turnover rates, low wages, and housing insecurity-compounds the challenges these workers face. She highlights how Black youth workers resist these structural harms by adopting and implementing innovative pedagogical practices alongside practices of "freedom dreaming" and joy as forms of resistance and pathways to agency for youth despite their precarious roles. Positioning Black youth workers within a broader network of informal care workers in the United States, Baldridge underscores the significance, fragility, precarity, and power of these dedicated professionals, their essential work, and the possibilities they create for youth.

The promises, limitations, and futures of feminist mentorship and pedagogy in higher education Feminist mentorship remains in short supply within communication studies and feminist and gender studies. A diverse group of contributors from the undergraduate level to senior scholars use Black feminist, Chicana feminist, and queer lenses to explore feminist mentorship examples in both pedagogical and relationship-building contexts. The first section draws upon the contributors' unique and situated experiences of mentorship in academia. Essays explore their past and current experiences with feminist mentorship in relationships that take many forms: faculty members with fellow faculty members; faculty members with undergraduate and graduate students; and faculty members who feel as if they have become family with their mentors and mentees. In the second section, the contributors deeply interrogate the practices of feminist mentoring by problematizing practices and offering new ways, places, and formats that make space and consider new possibilities. A conclusion reflects on the future of feminist mentorship amidst contemporary debates and concerns in higher education. Enriching and hopeful, Queer, Women of Color, and Critical Approaches to Feminist Mentorship and Pedagogy is a much-needed challenge to traditional forms of mentorship. Contributors: Lindsey B.

Unwelcome Shores is an ethnographic study of the Liberian refugee community in Staten Island, NY, that sheds light on the racialization of Black refugees and the anti-Black racism they have experienced at every step of their migration journey. By privileging race as the lens of analysis, sociologist Bernadette Ludwig reveals the significance of race in the lives of Liberians both during and after their immigration to the U.S. The salience of race in these different contexts varies. Some measures, such as the impetus for Liberia's establishment as a colony to protect the institution of slavery in the U.S., were unambiguously race-based. Since becoming an independent country, Liberia's citizenship has been restricted to Black people. Subsequently, being "Black" is a central aspect of both the nation of Liberia and what it means to be Liberian. In contrast, (Liberian) refugee resettlement and associated integration measurements by the U.S. government have been framed as race-neutral. However, upon closer examination, this has not been the case. For example, Black refugees and asylum seekers have had to overcome additional burdens compared to non-Black forced migrants, such as having a lower resettlement quota allocated to them and a higher threshold to prove persecution. Once in the U.S., African refugees face additional barriers due to systemic and individual anti-Black racism, especially in the racially divided context of places such as Staten Island, which has the largest per capita concentration of Liberians in the U.S.Unwelcome Shores explores how Liberians have responded to these racist exclusions. For example, they vociferously reject the informal refugee label once they were resettled in the U.S., as they mostly view the label as a liability since the larger general public, the media, and the US government tend to regard Black refugees as an economic and social burden unworthy of assistance. Indeed, Black refugees' humanity is often ignored in favor of overemphasizing presumed barbaric violence, endemic wars, cultural backwardness, and diseases, subsequently rendering them less worthy of protection and resettlement. By detailing the lack of aid and support for Black refugees and describing how Liberian refugees have had to overcome various struggles and barriers in coming to the U.S. and while living here, Unwelcome Shores highlights the overarching role of race and anti-Black racism in American society.

Migration ist in aller Munde, und schnell wird vergessen, dass auch viele Deutsche einst gezwungen waren, ihr Heimatland zu verlassen. In den 1930er und 1940er Jahren flohen hunderttausende Juden und anderweitig Verfolgte vor dem nationalsozialistischen Terror in die USA. Hinreichend untersucht sind die Emigration bekannter Persoenlichkeiten wie Thomas Mann, Hannah Arendt oder George Grosz. Doch wie gingen "normale" Menschen mit dem einschneidenden Erlebnis einer Emigration um? Wie schafften sie es, auszureisen und wie fanden Sie sich in ihrer neuen Umgebung zurecht? Siegfried Muellers Studie fusst auf auf hunderten von Briefen, Lebenserinnerungen, Briefwechseln und Tagebuechern und laesst die Lebenswelten deutschsprachiger Emigranten in New York auferstehen. Lebendig schildert er individuelle Perspektiven auf verschlungene Fluchtwege, die Arbeits- und Wohnungssuche vor dem Hintergrund der Wirtschaftskrise in den USA, die Konfrontation mit Antisemitismus, aber auch den kulturellen Einfluss der Migranten auf die pulsierende Metropole.

Oladi, Soudeh, Immigrant Student Experiences in Canada: Mothers and Children Storying Belonging. 297 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <751-1075>

This book centers immigrant children's school experiences as recounted and interpreted by their mothers, exposing how racialization, exclusion, and proximity to Whiteness shape their realities in Canadian schools. Drawing from Afro-Caribbean, Ghanaian, Indian, Afghan, and Chinese communities, mothers emerge as critical knowledge holders, sharing their children's stories to disrupt institutional erasure. Part One's two chapters reveal how Canadian schools enact symbolic multiculturalism while reinforcing linguistic conformity and Eurocentric norms, reframing identity, belonging, and home through mothers' stories. Part Two's four chapters present mothers' and children's experiences capturing subversive resistance, intergenerational tensions, trauma, invisibility, and affirmation. The concluding chapter frames storytelling as epistemic resistance, grounding immigrant families' wisdom as essential to transforming education.

Every day families make one of the most difficult decisions in their lives: leave their homes in search of a safer and better future for their children. Now We Are Here is the story of how the ideal of a good American education underwrites the migratory decisions, trajectories, and experiences of migrant families. Through innovative and in-depth ethnographic research in schools and in homes conducted between 2018 and 2021, Gabrielle Oliveira takes readers into the lives of 16 migrant families from Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. She interweaves stories of parental sacrifice, children's experience of schooling, teachers' understandings of the trauma experienced by these families, and the consequences of a global pandemic on already-vulnerable families. Oliveira provides a rich view into the full lives of migrant families and centers their power to resist multiple emergencies. After facing detention and/or separation at the U.S. border, these families also faced the unexpected disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic. The compounded traumas of leaving home, harsh border policies, and a public health crisis pushed families to reconceptualize their ideas of education and what it might mean to make a life in a new country. Recounting everyday struggles and stories of determination amid devastating circumstances, this book reflects on migrant journeys and educational opportunity in the United States.

Shaping a distinctive Midwestern form of Mexicano identity Mexicanos in Michigan and across the Midwest share a common experience: living as largely invisible outsiders as they struggled to build vibrant communities in places that wanted their labor but not their presence. Brett Olmsted ranges from the 1920s to the 1970s as he analyzes how Mexicanos sought to transcend social, cultural, economic, and political exclusion. Never numerous in any one area, Mexican Americans pursued inclusion via leisure spaces and labor unionism. Activities like celebrations, sports, movies, and music encouraged Mexicanos to claim physical and social space, connect with Michigan's other Mexicano communities, and construct their own sense of identity. Mexicano workers, meanwhile, embraced interethnic union activism to address racism in job placement and promotion. Olmsted also examines how the state's Mexicanos adapted to Michigan's dual economy and found advantages in moving back-and-forth between rural and urban areas. In-depth and innovative, Making Michigan Home spotlights the state's overlooked Mexicanos and their distinctive experiences within the Latina/o/x Studies Midwest.

Racial politics in the United States are as tumultuous as ever. A resurgent white nationalism finds broadening support while the Movement for Black Lives marks a newly consolidated and highly visible iteration of the centuries-long Black Freedom struggle. The question of what it would take to get more white people to fight for racial justice is as urgent as ever. Chandra Russo takes up this question in White Flank. White people's participation in antiracist action has always been fraught, with competing narratives about what meaningful allyship looks like, and what one should do with their white privilege. Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) has emerged as the largest national effort explicitly seeking to organize white people. Beyond just book clubs and discussion circles, and against the seductions of virtue signaling, SURJ invites and equips white communities to take part in concrete antiracist action and to organize for lasting change. Using the case of SURJ, this book tells the story of a new generation of white antiracist efforts in a range of local contexts, from Los Angeles to rural Appalachia. White Flank documents the promises and complexities of antiracist organizing. Russo argues that shifting white communities' understanding of antiracism away from a focus on individual morality and towards collective action is a crucial achievement. Growing the white flank of a multiracial justice movement is bound to be messy. Yet our present moment requires that white people join with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color in the fight for collective liberation.

Shepard, Cassandra, Settler Colonialism Is the Disaster: A Critique of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina and During the COVID-19 Pandemic. (New Black Studies Series) 256 pp. 2026:1 (U. Illinois Pr., US) <751-1087>

Rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and during the COVID-19 pandemic unleashed perpetual disaster on New Orleans' Black and Indigenous communities. Neoliberalism masked by the auspices of repair, progress, and inclusion reinforced the plight of the urban poor while exacerbating the racial and class inequalities that existed before the storm. Cassandra Shepard's analysis draws on ideas of settler-colonialism to chart how depriving Black and Indigenous people of critical resources intensified the harm, violence, and death inherent in systems of colonization. As Shepard shows, the rhetoric of improvement allows coloniality to masquerade as rebuilding while white elites consolidate power, profit, and privilege. Displaced and disenfranchised people of color, meanwhile, experience the impact of racial-disaster capitalism, with the chaos surrounding Katrina and COVID-19 obscuring the for-profit economic, political, and social exploitation of non-white New Orleanians. Ambitious and provocative, Settler Colonialism is the Disaster refutes the myth of New Orleans' presumptive revival by shining new light on the ongoing colonization project at its heart.

A racial demographic transition has come to rural northern New England. White population losses sit alongside racial and ethnic minority population gains in nearly all of the small towns of the Upper Valley region spanning New Hampshire and Vermont. Homesick considers these trends in a part of the country widely considered to be progressive, offering new insights on the ways white residents maintain racial hierarchies even there. Walton focuses on the experiences of mostly well-educated migrants of color moving to the area to take well-paid jobs - in this case in health care, higher education, software development, and engineering. Walton shows that white residents maintain their social position through misrecognition-a failure or unwillingness to see people of color as legitimate, welcome, and valuable members of the community. The ultimate impact of such misrecognition is a profound sense of homesickness, a deep longing for a place in which one can feel safe, wanted, and accepted. Tightly and sensitively argued, this book helps us better understand how to recognize and unsettle such processes of exclusion in diversifying spaces in general.

Wiesner, Caitlin Reed, Between the Street and the State: Black Women's Anti-Rape Activism Amid the War on Crime. (Politics and Culture in Modern America) 277 pp. 2025:9 (U. Pennsylvania Pr., US) <751-1094>
ISBN 978-1-5128-2826-9 hard ¥9,355.- (税込) US$ 45.00

Deepens our understanding of Black women's anti-rape activism by attending to how their tactics shifted in response to the federal War on Crime Beginning in the 1970s, a series of government agencies established to carry out the federal "war on crime" offered financial and ideological support to the fledgling feminist movement against sexual violence. These entities promoted the carceral tactics of policing, prosecution, and punishment as the only viable means of controlling rape, and they expected anti-rape organizers to embrace them. Yet Black women anti-rape organizers viewed police as a source of violence within their communities, not a solution to it. Between the Street and the State examines how Black anti-rape organizers critically engaged both the feminist movement against sexual violence and the federal War on Crime between 1974 and 1994. In Philadelphia, Washington, DC, the San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago, and Atlanta, activists inflected Black women's longstanding tradition of community-based caring labor with the Black feminist condemnation of patriarchal and state violence. Their multifaceted and adaptable brand of anti-rape advocacy was premised on sustaining the survival of Black women and girls individually and Black communities more broadly. In this way, Black anti-rape activists countered the growing emphasis within the feminist movement on controlling rape through carceral collaborations. They acted subversively, redirecting state funds and state-funded research premised on rape control to projects that offered care to Black victims. In public education, social welfare, and public health, they instituted preventative education and emotional healing as modes of justice. At times, they outspokenly resisted carceral legislation that displaced their caring labor with punitive programs of rape control. Spotlighting Black anti-rape organizers' enduring commitment to care work shows that the cooptation of the feminist movement against sexual violence by law enforcement entities was never total. Between the Street and the State deepens our historical understanding of Black women's tradition of anti-rape activism by attending to how their tactics shifted in response to the political realignments of the post-civil rights era.

Wiggins, Danielle, Black Excellence: Atlanta and the Making of Modern Black Liberalism. (Politics and Culture in Modern America) 277 pp. 2025:9 (U. Pennsylvania Pr., US) <751-1095>

A provocative new history of modern black liberalism Black Excellence offers a provocative new history of modern black liberalism by situating the seemingly conservative tendencies of black elected officials in the post-civil rights era within neoliberal American politics and an enduring black liberal tradition. In the 1970s and '80s, cities across the country elected black mayors for the first time. Just as these officials gained political power, however, their cities felt the full brunt of white flight and deindustrialization. Tasked with governing cities in crisis, black political leaders responded in seemingly conservative ways to the social problems that austerity worsened. Nowhere was this response more evident than in Atlanta. In the nation's preeminent black urban regime, black leaders such as mayors Maynard Jackson and Andrew Young employed the power of policing and the private sector to discipline black Atlantans, hoping they would equip vulnerable communities with the tools to manage the volatility of the era. Danielle Wiggins shows that these punitive responses to the problems of crime, family instability, and unemployment were informed by black liberalism's disciplinary impulse: an enduring tendency to reform behaviors believed to threaten black survival in a white supremacist nation. Forged in response to the violence of Jim Crow, the disciplinary impulse relied upon notions of pathology and its inverse, black excellence. Wiggins identifies several black liberal efforts to cultivate excellent black communities, families, and workers in the post-civil rights era, including community policing, corporate-sponsored family initiatives, and black entrepreneurship. In embracing disciplinary strategies, however, black liberals often focused on behavior at the expense of addressing structural inequality. Consequently, their approaches dovetailed with those of the "New" Democrats, whose post-Great Society social policies were informed by urban black liberals. Black Excellence reveals thus how urban black liberals not only reshaped black politics but, as Democrats, also helped build the neoliberal Democratic Party.

Understanding the Hawai'i Island summit of Mauna a Wakea as a place of ancestral connection, cultural resurgence, and political resistance for Native Hawaiians? First Light is a site-specific study of Native Hawaiian resistance to the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) on the summit of Mauna a Wakea, the sacred volcano on the island of Hawai'i. Drawing on personal interviews, oral histories, archival research, participant observation, and popular, legal, scientific, and Indigenous discourses, Iokepa Casumbal-Salazar explores both the campaign to build the observatory and the movement against it. He asks how astronomers have become stewards of Mauna a Wakea while Kanaka 'Oiwi (Aboriginal Hawaiians), in protest, are recast as obstructing progress and clinging to ancient superstitions. Contextualizing contemporary resistance to telescope expansion within the past 125 years of struggle against U.S. empire in Hawai'i, Casumbal-Salazar argues the Kanaka-led efforts to protect their ancestral lands did not begin with the TMT and only become legible when understood in the broader history of resistance to U.S. settler hegemony as told through the voices and actions of kia?i ?aina (land defenders). First Light explores how settler science, capital, and law have been mobilized in ways that rationalize industrial development projects like the TMT and promote a vision of "coexistence" that enables the dehumanization of Kanaka 'Oiwi and their alienation from ?aina. Challenging the assumptions and aggressions of neoliberal environmental policy, settler multiculturalism, and U.S. military occupation, First Light reinforces calls for a moratorium on new telescope development and a literacy in Kanaka 'Oiwi movements for life, land, and Ea (independence, sovereignty).

Listening to Black women share their life experiences as educators Despite significant challenges and historical opposition, Black female teachers stood at the forefront of advocating for and providing education to Black students. Their dedication not only improved opportunities for Black communities but also influenced changes in U.S. laws and societal expectations. Marlee S. Bunch draws on oral histories to illuminate the interior lives of Black female educators who taught before and after desegregation in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. In their own voices, these women detail the hurdles they faced guiding students through Jim Crow laws and Civil Rights-era desegregation. Bunch unearths the personal stories of teaching and activism during a historic time that included the Brown v. Board of Education decision and whites' massive resistance to desegregation. The educators highlight the significance of the Black community and the role of Black homes in fostering student success and community cohesion. In addition, Bunch looks at the legacies of Black educators and the work still to be done. Visual artwork and poetry complement the text. Inspiring and immersive, Unlearning the Hush blends personal memory with Civil Rights history to document the pivotal role Black women played in education during a transformative and charged period in American history.

Rereading Baldwin's nonfiction in the context of midcentury Black Atlantic thought James Baldwin's nonfiction offers some of the most important and challenging thinking on the experience of race, history, and memory in the Black Atlantic world. Yet much of the scholarly literature on Baldwin's writing reads his work from inside the sociocultural context of the United States, alongside key interlocutors like Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison, and Lorraine Hansberry. So Unimaginable a Price: Baldwin and the Black Atlantic shifts the critical frame, examining Baldwin's work as part of a midcentury moment across the wider Atlantic world and tying his reflections to those of thinkers in the Caribbean and Africa to underscore the widening sense, as well as the particularity, of his critical claims. Who is Baldwin to the Atlantic world? And who, then, is Baldwin to the United States? John E. Drabinski recasts Baldwin as a Black Atlantic writer whose unique qualities as a thinker are enhanced by their similarities and differences with fellow writers of liberation in the global Black world.

Asian immigrants comprise over 10% of the national undocumented immigrant population and Asian Americans are the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the United States today. Asian undocumented communities, alongside their Latinx and Black undocumented counterparts, have also emphasized the importance of their racial/ethnic identities alongside their immigrant legal status in their organizing. UndocuAsians tells the story of the contemporary US immigrant rights movement with a focus on Asian undocumented immigrant narratives drawing on personal reflections and research studies by self-identified undocuAsian organizers and scholars from Asian immigrant backgrounds. Topics discussed in the volume include activists' navigation of racialized "illegality," the importance of chosen and biological family, pathways in the pursuit of higher education, the role of faith communities in the lives of Asian undocumented immigrants, and healing. Combined, these essays provide a diverse portrait of the vibrant, powerful community of Asian undocumented immigrants today.

Removing the borders between research and advocacy in studies of immigration Migrants' and refugees' stories have become an essential part of the public debate around immigration. Benjamin Gatling edits interdisciplinary essays that bring together the distinct perspectives of researchers, activists, and policymakers to emphasize how these often-siloed communities can use stories as social science data and advocacy tools. Ranging from oral history projects to the asylum process to calls for decolonial justice, the contributors' analyses illuminate how migrants' and refugees' personal narratives influence both perceptions and policies. Their merger of perspectives provides a nuanced understanding of migration and emphasizes the importance of how storytelling can foster empathy, challenge stereotypes, and drive social change. At the same time, the essays center migrants' and refugees' voices within public debates and in work done to humanize the reality they face. Original and multifaceted, Migration Stories provides a vital addition to how we study and frame immigration.
