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

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

Stern, Kenneth S., Simply Human: A Guide to Understanding and Combatting Hate. 336 pp. 2025:9 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-953>
ISBN 978-1-4875-5183-4 paper ¥7,844.- (税込) US$ 36.95

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

Ding, Seong Lin / Li, Rui, Chinese on the Move: Migration, Language, and Identity. 318 pp. 2025:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <754-750>
ISBN 978-3-031-99827-0 hard ¥9,896.- (税込) EUR 39.99

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

Musa, Mohammad Alami, Ascent towards Pinnacle: Community Development and Singapore Muslim Identity in Secular State. 250 pp. 2025:10 (World Scientific, SI) <754-790>
ISBN 978-981-9812-46-2 hard ¥18,682.- (税込) US$ 88.00

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

ISBN 978-981-9698-20-2 hard ¥34,646.- (税込) EUR 139.99

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

Mishra, Aditya Keshari, Investigating Reverse Migration during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences from India. 291 pp. 2025:8 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <754-816>
ISBN 978-1-349-96079-8 hard ¥27,221.- (税込) EUR 109.99

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

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

Migrant activism is key in today's world, where countries in the Global North employ border regimes to reinforce racial hierarchies, limit freedom of movement and exploit migrant labour. But how do migrant-led movements engage with human rights-do they see them as limited tools, or as frameworks that can be reimagined in the fight for border justice? In this compelling study, Perolini critically examines the various ways migrants challenge these border regimes and highlights the transformative potential of constructing human rights from below, moving beyond the state and legal norms. Drawing on rich ethnographic research in Berlin, the book offers a fresh and provocative perspective on the intersections of migrant activism, human rights and racial and border justice

黒人女性と人権の形成
Blain, Keisha N., Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights. 312 pp. 2025:9 (Norton, US) <754-511>
ISBN 978-0-393-88229-2 hard ¥6,791.- (税込) US$ 31.99

Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others' freedom struggles around the world. Without Fear tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women-from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power. By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression-including racism, sexism, and classism-Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice.

This Open Access book is the first book to share in-depth narratives outlining the lived experiences of Japanese and Latin American Diaspora Entrepreneurs in Brazil, Mexico and Japan. It focuses in on the career paths of forty-seven entrepreneurs exploring how they negotiate their identity, culture, and heritage as they set-up businesses in a country outside their country of origin. In our previous book we explored Japanese Self-Initiated Expatriate Entrepreneurs (SIEE) in Southeast Asia, yet we see a significant difference between self-initiated expatriate entrepreneurs and second and third generation diaspora Japanese Latin American entrepreneurs. This book represents the entrepreneurs, their journeys, their successes, and their struggles. It provides a framework for better understanding diaspora ethnic entrepreneurship in cases where multiple identities and cultures are intertwined. This research exposes the political, sociological, economic, and cultural complexities of diaspora entrepreneurship as a means to support oneself in a 'foreign', yet somewhat familiar, country of destination. This book thus creates a new understanding of what it is to be a diaspora entrepreneur of Japanese heritage in a variety of contexts. This groundbreaking book delves into the compelling narratives of Japanese and Latin American diaspora entrepreneurs in Japan, Mexico, and Brazil. It highlights the career paths of 47 entrepreneurs, revealing how they navigate their identities, cultures, and heritage while establishing businesses far from their countries of origin. Unlike our previous book on Japanese Self-Initiated Expatriate Entrepreneurs (SIEE), this edition also uncovers the unique experiences of second and third-generation Japanese Latin American entrepreneurs. Through their stories of triumph and struggle, this book provides a deeper understanding of diaspora ethnic entrepreneurship, where multiple identities and cultures intersect. It also sheds light on the political, sociological, economic, and cultural complexities faced by these entrepreneurs as they build their lives in 'foreign' yet familiar lands. Discover a new perspective on what it means to be a diaspora entrepreneur of Japanese heritage in diverse contexts.

ISBN 978-981-9691-55-5 hard ¥29,696.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book delves into a developing area of Japan's labor migration studies, providing comprehensive insights to unveil the complexity of Japan's Technical Intern Trainee Program (TITP), not only from the perspective of the receiving country but particularly from that of the sending country. In doing so, the book focuses on Indonesia's participation in the TITP. With this, the book investigates the roles of various actors, including the Indonesian government, the supervising organization, the Indonesian community, alumni, and the trainees themselves. It examines, through three different (but interlocking) stages, (1) the pre-departure stage, (2) on-the-program stage, and (3) post-program stage. To achieve this, the book draws upon extensive fieldwork, including in-depth interviews where the main part of the book is the result of ethnographic fieldwork, netnography, interviews, and participant observation of the relevant parties to gauge what issues/problems they are aware of. Fieldwork was conducted on/off sites and also with current and former alumni of the technical trainee program in Indonesia as well as interviews with the stakeholders, such as policymakers from Japan and, particularly in Indonesia, and the supervising organization (kumiai/kanridantai).

Karki, Karun Kishor, Employment and Deskilling: Experiences of Skilled, Racialized Immigrants in the Canadian Labour Market. (International Perspectives on Migration) 190 pp. 2025:10 (Springer, GW) <754-251>
ISBN 978-981-9697-51-9 hard ¥32,171.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book examines the socio-economic integration of skilled, racialized immigrants in Canada. Although many arrive with advanced education and professional credentials, they often face significant barriers to securing meaningful employment and career advancement. Central to the book are three interrelated areas of inquiry: (a) deskilling and downward mobility, (b) structural inequality in the labor market, and (c) the gendered dimensions of deskilling. Drawing on primary data, the book investigates how the Canadian labor market continues to reproduce systemic inequalities despite its rhetoric of diversity and inclusion. It offers policy recommendations to advance employment equity, gender justice, and inclusion of immigrants in the workforce. This book is a vital resource for students, scholars, and practitioners and is especially well-suited for graduate courses in the humanities and social sciences, including labor studies, sociology, social work, migration studies, and gender studies.

Chatterjee, Soma, Skills to Build the Nation: Immigrant Labour Market and Canadian Nationalism. 277 pp. 2025:12 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-256>

How do discourses of "skill" and "training" shape immigrant integration, national imaginary, and skilled labour policies in Canada? In Skills to Build the Nation, migration studies scholar Soma Chatterjee takes Canada's Federal Skilled Worker Program as an entry point to examine how the federal policy developed through a productive contradiction: casting skilled immigrants as both essential and perpetually deficient. The federal government's policies and programs come under critical scrutiny as the text investigates the paradoxical position of welcoming skilled immigrants while also demanding they instinctually embody an elusive, assimilatory Canadian identity. Blending critical race theory, discourse analysis, and Marxist feminist critiques of labour, Chatterjee challenges the notion of "skill" as race-neutral and dismantles the idea that Canada's immigration system represents a state of post-racial liberalism. By focusing on political narratives and government documents (including ministerial speeches, policy reports, and public archives), Skills to Build the Nation highlights the tensions between Canada's global pursuit of skilled labour and its exclusionary national imaginary. In a country with an understanding of hard work as a measure of national belonging, Chatterjee's book is a powerful and timely intervention into the contradictions and myths of immigration, nationalism, and labour in contemporary Canada.

ISBN 978-981-9811-86-1 hard ¥14,436.- (税込) US$ 68.00

This engaging collection of essays explores Singapore's multiracial, multireligious, and multilingual experience as a powerful testament of unity amid diversity. While multiracialism embraces pluralism, diversity, and multiple identities, it also requires nurturing shared values, norms, and a cohesive collective identity to manage differences sensitively and effectively. Providing new insights into Singapore's ongoing nation-building journey, the essays reveal how Singaporeans - regardless of race, language, or religion - must continue to develop a unified response to divisive, chauvinistic forces.Written from an interdisciplinary perspective by a scholar who has studied Singapore's management of race, religion, and language for almost three decades, the book's five thematic sections examine various aspects of race, religion, language, and identity in Singapore. The essays tackle topical issues from the past two decades that remain as relevant today as when they were first published in various media outlets. This collection unveils the challenges and nuances of Singapore's identity politics, law, policies, and institutions, showing how Singapore overcame sectarian divides and embrace unity.Raising the Nation emphasises the founding constitutional principle that every community is treated equally and supported in differentiated ways. Essential reading for anyone curious about Singapore's raison d'etre as an independent, sovereign nation-state, it serves as an indispensable guide to the rich tapestry of identities that define every Singaporean.

What is it like to cross the Mexico-US border every day just to go to school? Imagine waking before dawn, crossing an international border alone and navigating a school system that wasn't built for you. This book follows former transborder learners-students who lived in Mexico before the pandemic and studied in the US -as they go about their daily routines. From militarised checkpoints to exclusive classroom dynamics, these young people reveal a border that is lived, felt and constantly negotiated. Through their voices, the book challenges dominant ideas of security and control, offering a powerful case for transborder policies rooted in care, connection and the everyday realities of youth who live between nations.

From an unlikely Technical College in internment, run by the dubious character Ludwig Warschauer or the unusual female electrical engineer Ira Rischowski, to the unprecedented and creative initiative that was the trading estates where many refugees set up their businesses, this book is full of surprises. You may be intrigued to learn how much the refugees contributed to the British War Effort: from Ludwig Loewy who created new aircraft for the RAF, to Londex, a little known engineering company which made lighting equipment for buoys and submarines, and many others, these case studies reveal how the refugees helped Britain win the war.

Across Europe and North America, far-right parties have strategically framed immigration as a threat to national identity and security, capitalizing on public anxieties around cultural change and economic pressure. Part of the groundbreaking ethnoGRAPHIC series, Crossing Lines is a graphic anthology about human migration that challenges the rise of anti-immigrant populism. Research shows that it is difficult to counter these "us-versus-them" narratives with evidence alone. Blending visual and textual storytelling, this collection moves beyond traditional forms of communication to engage readers emotionally with the complex realities of migration. Emerging out of a workshop held at the University of British Columbia's Centre for Migration Studies in 2022, this graphic anthology features eight powerful narratives, collaboratively created by migration scholars and comics artists. Crossing Lines considers the personal and social impacts of migration, offering nuanced perspectives accessible to a wide audience. Each comic is paired with discussion questions and annotated further readings to encourage dialogue and understanding in the face of polarizing public discourse. Crossing Lines is a timely and indispensable resource for scholars, educators, and readers seeking to better understand migration in today's globalized world.

Polanco, Geraldina, Filipino Migrants and the Canadian Dream: Governing Mobility in a Fast-Food Chain. 277 pp. 2025:10 (U. Toronto Pr., CN) <754-1026>

Filipino Migrants and the Canadian Dream explores the power of the Canadian dream and how this social imaginary is leveraged by various institutional actors across transnational networks to govern mobility and work in the bottom tiers of a globalized labour market. The book focuses specifically on the migration management and governance of skilled Filipino workers recruited for entry-level fast-food positions in Western Canada. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in both Western Canada and the Philippines, the book examines how migration institutions and social actors shape migrant aspirations, constructing cultural narratives of nations that influence people's decisions to migrate. Using Tim Hortons - a beloved Canadian institution - as a case study, the book illustrates how the Canadian dream and its implied promises are harnessed (inadvertently) at different stages of the migration process to propel mobility or fulfil profit-driven goals. The analysis highlights how a range of actors - states, corporations, employers, recruiters, diaspora communities, and migrants themselves - contribute to the creation and circulation of these dreams. Ultimately, the book demonstrates that the social imaginary must be unpacked across global circuits, spaces, and scales to fully understand how temporary labour programs operate within the context of a neoliberal economy.

How do academic spaces perpetuate racial and religious inequalities, and what can be done to challenge them? This provocative book examines the intersections of ethnicity, faith and class with a focus on British South Asian Muslim identity. Drawing on ethnographic insights and theoretical frameworks such as postcoloniality, orientalism and hybridity, the author unpacks representations of race, religion and Islamophobia in both academic and public discourse.

This book explores the role of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) among migrant communities in the UK. It examines how diverse cultural practices, from life celebrations to death commemorations, have travelled with communities, evolved in new settings, and taken root in the UK. Through case studies from different community groups, spanning oral traditions, performing arts, social customs, and craftsmanship, this book illustrates how ICH becomes a vital part of everyday life, identity, and belonging within the UK's multicultural mosaic. In a landscape often dominated by narratives of immigration pressures and societal division, this book shifts the focus and reclaims the narrative, illuminating the cultural knowledge, creativity, and practices that migrants bring. It highlights the significant yet frequently undervalued contributions of migrant ICH to the UK's evolving socio-cultural fabric. This timely work emerges amidst crucial debates surrounding UK heritage policy, including the recent ratification of UNESCO's 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the growing movement to establish national ICH inventories, offering a critical and much-needed perspective. This powerful, interdisciplinary collection brings together the voices of scholars, artists, and heritage professionals, many of whom are migrants themselves. Through a combination of personal experience and academic insight, contributors explore how ICH is safeguarded, lived, and transformed in the UK. From South Asian Bhangra to Syrian herbal remedies, Polish parenting traditions to Irish storytelling, this book captures a wide spectrum of cultural expressions that span continents and communities. It brings visibility to both formally recognised forms of ICH and the everyday rituals that rarely make headlines but profoundly shape identity and belonging. By foregrounding these voices and experiences, this book aims to inspire the development of inclusive ICH inventories and to champion the recognition of migrant heritage not as peripheral, but as central to the UK's shared cultural landscape. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, community organiser, or simply someone curious about the human stories behind migration, this book invites you to view cultural heritage not as something fixed, but as something living, shared, and sustained across generations and borders.
