Wong, Wei Chin, Governing Chinese Secret Societies in Colonial British Malaya, 1786-1900. (Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies) 380 pp. 2026:1 (Springer, GW) <760-591>
ISBN 978-3-031-52598-8 hard ¥36,186.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book explores the changing relations between Chinese secret societies in British Malaya and the British colonial government, examining how and why British attitudes towards Chinese migrants changed over the nineteenth century, from welcoming them at the century's start, to suppressing them by the end of the century. These changes later marked a crucial turning point in which Chinese migrants were no longer seen as foreign settlers without legal status, but as part of the colonial population of British Malaya. Suggesting that Chinese secret societies in colonial Asia were far more important than they have traditionally been perceived and moving away from the view that they were simply violent criminal organisations, the book analyses the much broader socioeconomic purposes that the societies served and examines how British colonial perceptions and attitudes played a role in their functioning. The author incorporates this story into the wider process of colonial knowledge production across the global British Empire, illustrating how this became an important factor in helping the British integrate the Chinese into their systems. A welcome contribution to studies on colonial Asia, this book presents a wide-ranging overview of the changing role of Chinese secret societies in British Malaya, and will provide new insights for those researching the history of southeast Asia, colonialism and migration.

Dean-Olmsted, Evelyn Maria, Coming of Age as Syrian Jewish Mexicans: The Pragmatics of Diaspora. (Jewish Latin America 20) 236 pp. 2025:12 (Brill, NE) <760-649>
ISBN 978-90-04-73577-4 hard ¥29,469.- (税込) EUR 114.00

Coming of Age as Syrian Jewish Mexicans is a linguistic ethnography of Shami and Halebi Jews in contemporary Mexico City. Through a focus on language in everyday life - including narrative, humor, and Arabic and Hebrew "heritage words" - the book explores how young adults negotiate oft-stigmatized, diasporic identities amid national shifts toward neoliberalism and the transnational expansion of Jewish ultra-Orthodoxy. Accessible yet richly theorized, the book introduces linguistic anthropological concepts and guides readers through their application to audiovisual data. This innovative approach promotes empathetic understanding of a lesser-known Jewish Latin American context and opens new lines of inquiry into the phenomenon of diaspora in a rapidly changing world.

Polimeni, Beniamino / Megahed, Yasser (eds.), Cross-Cultural Landscapes: Investigating the Influence of Migration on Cities and Architecture. 372 pp. 2026:2 (Springer, GW) <760-693>

This book explores how migration has shaped cities over time and continues to influence their architecture and urban landscapes today. It examines how people's movement across borders connects with buildings, urban life, and cultural heritage. Bringing together perspectives from an interdisciplinary group of authors, it also highlights how design and planning can help build more welcoming and connected communities. Drawing on case studies from around the world, the contributors bring together diverse research approaches and perspectives that enrich current debates on migration and the built environment. Divided into four thematic sections, the book gathers papers exploring the central questions that arise where migration meets the built environment. It considers how architecture and urban design respond to global mobility, showing how effective strategies can promote integration, resilience, and the active participation of migrant communities. The influence of transnational movement on architectural languages is also studied, revealing how diverse cultural traditions shape the evolution of spatial forms. The volume gives special attention to the transformation of urban scenarios through adaptive reuse and heritage preservation, illustrating how the movement of people reshapes shared spaces and collective memory. Ultimately, it stresses the importance of sustainable planning and calls for collaboration among architects, urban designers, and policymakers to build resilient and pluralistic cities.

Boccagni, Paolo / Lacroix, Thomas, Death in Migration: Foregrounding Loss, Grieving and Memory Out of Place. (Global Migration and Social Change) 176 pp. 2026:2 (Bristol U. Pr., UK) <760-795>
ISBN 978-1-5292-4351-2 hard ¥23,760.- (税込) GB￡ 80.00

What happens when death becomes part of the journey of international migrants? This book examines how mortality is woven into the experience of displacement and migration. From perilous border crossings to the business of repatriation and contested burial grounds, it reveals the hidden geographies and politics that underpin the death of migrants in transit or abroad. Drawing together diverse research across disciplines, it offers a cohesive framework for understanding the industries, rituals and emotional labour surrounding migrant death. Whether through bureaucratic processes, artistic productions, activist mobilisations or collective mourning, death becomes not an endpoint, but a powerful force shaping how migration is lived, governed and remembered.

Daouda, Marie, Not Your Victim: How our Obsession with Race Entraps and Divides Us. 192 pp. 2026:1 (Polity Pr., UK) <760-808>
ISBN 978-1-5095-7169-7 hard ¥5,582.- (税込) US$ 25.00

Empire and race have become the most discussed - and most problematic - subjects in political and historical discourse. It is now an unquestionable orthodoxy both in academia and in progressive political discourse that European colonial empires - particularly the British - were uniquely evil, the West's 'original sin', and that their legacy continues to underpin systemic racism, injustice, and oppression. Marie Kawthar Daouda, a Moroccan and French academic who now works in Britain, argues that this narrative is dangerously wrong. Weaving her personal experience with erudite reflection on history, literature, and politics, she argues that we are all heirs of complex waves of immigration, conquest, and colonization. A closer look at French and British history belies a simplistic worldview wherein all the evil in the world is the result of the peculiarly vicious nature of white, western colonisers. Indeed, she argues, such a perspective nurtures the very prejudices it claims to fight by valorising victimhood above individual or collective agency and by denying ethnic minorities any sense of responsibility. A coruscating attack on the perverse solipsism, moral blindness, and historical illiteracy of 'decolonising' progressive elites, this book upends our tired debates over colonialism, Empire and immigration. It offers a more nuanced, hopeful vision of our historical self-understanding.

Denmead, Tyler / Shareef, Amina, Rethinking Critical Race Theory: Education Against Elimination in a Time of Genocide. (Palgrave Studies in Race, Inequality and Social Justice in Education) 117 pp. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-810>
ISBN 978-3-032-07748-6 hard ¥7,751.- (税込) EUR 29.99

This open access book outlines a framework to explain how a world system of white supremacy is reproduced through education at national and local levels. This contribution thus addresses the important need for critical race education scholarship that is not limited by nationally-framed or American-centric perspectives. Written in an accessible manner, the framework recognises that racism takes hold in diverse ways in local and national educational contexts, but is ultimately rooted in global white supremacy. Forging links between Critical Race Theory and decolonial thought, this framework explains how national racialized social systems are reproduced through global structures, knowledge, and feelings; and articulates how anti-racism in education relies on forging transnational solidarities. To illustrate the relevance and significance of this framework, the book engages with how educational systems throughout the world are implicated in sustaining global anti-Muslim racism in a time of Palestinian genocide. Addressing a timely topic and gap in the literature, this book will provide an invaluable resource to postgraduate students and academics developing critical scholarship that explains and resists the global nature of race and racism in education.

American history is, in part, a history of immigration - of waves of people from other lands making their way to America's shores. That extraordinary history is at the heart of this book by Nancy Foner, one of America's leading immigration scholars. Immigration: How the Past Shapes the Present argues that the past is critical in understanding current immigration; that a new historical perspective offers important insights into what is happening today. Foner examines both the facts of immigration in the past and how they are perceived - the stories, myths, and memories that color how we think of immigration today and equally important the politics that govern it. This new historical perspective helps us understand contemporary nativism, helps distinguish what is new from long established patterns, reveals how legacies of earlier immigration shape the lives of present-day arrivals, and offers a fresh look at what lies ahead. The book is especially relevant at a time when immigration history is being made - on an almost daily basis - yet scholarship on today's immigration does not always consider the past. Drawing on a wealth of historical and contemporary research, the book makes a clear and powerful case for writing history into the study of contemporary immigration.

Hoang, Nguyen Vu, Race, Resilience, and Vietnamese Americans in New Orleans: The Unmaking of Home. (Global Vietnam: Across Time, Space and Community) 221 pp. 2025:11 (Springer, GW) <760-812>
ISBN 978-981-9524-64-8 hard ¥31,016.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book examines the lives and experiences of Vietnamese Americans in Louisiana, to highlight novel aspects within the politics of race in the USA. In doing so, it considers Vietnamese Americans' conformity to white supremacy. Following more than 35 years living in the country of settlement, the book unpacks how Vietnamese Americans developed experiences of living with African Americans, the majority population in New Orleans. By engaging in a discussion of the white supremacist ideology, the book points out that Vietnamese Americans are not only victims of both overt and covert racial discriminatory acts, but they are also often complicit in it. Indeed, while they suffer minority status in American society, they buy into the racial hierarchy of white supremacy that simultaneously denigrates low-income African Americans. Engaging in a global perspective in which the nation-state has tried to embrace its overseas population as an essential part of the country, the book concludes by examining the effectiveness of the deterritorialization policy of the Vietnamese government on Vietnamese Americans. It also shows that while the deterritorialization policy failed to achieve its aims, it-unexpectedly-became a key factor that renewed the diasporic dimension of Vietnamese Americans. In addition, when fighting against the intrusion of the communist agenda into their diasporic community, Vietnamese American community leaders strategically employed the freedom in American politics to legalize and implement their local anticommunist agenda. In this process, while the diasporic moments were reinforced, the white supremacy remained intact. A rich and fascinating treatment of unique racial politics in the American deep South, the book is a must-read for scholars and students working in Asian identity politics, race and ethnicity studies, and American culture.

Jacobsen, Christine M., Waiting for Papers: Temporalities of Undocumented Migration in Marseille. (Approaches to Social Inequality and Difference) 325 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-814>
ISBN 978-3-032-06234-5 hard ¥33,601.- (税込) EUR 129.99

Starting from the paradox that undocumented migrants-known as sans-papiers inFrench-often have pockets, backpacks, and drawers full of papers, this book explores the role of documentation in how migration is governed and experienced. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted over a ten-year period in Marseille, ithighlights the increasing securitization of migration, the production of migrant illegality, the expansion of detention and deportation practices, and the persistence of (post)colonial legacies. Contributing to the 'temporal turn' in migration studies, the book analyses the 'temporal architectures'-the laws, built environments, services, technologies and documentary practices-to which undocumented migrants in Marseille recalibrate their present lives and future orientations. 'Waiting for papers' conditions life across the domains of work, family, and health. Despite the disciplinary effects of border policing and immigration law enforcement, undocumented migrants continue their struggles, pursuing their aspirations and desires to 'move well' in life.

McKether, Willie, Better Lives, Broken Promises and the Struggle for Equality: Lessons from The Black Migration to Saginaw, Michigan. (Studies in Critical Social Sciences 353) 226 pp. 2025:12 (Brill, NE) <760-819>
ISBN 978-90-04-74841-5 hard ¥33,346.- (税込) EUR 129.00

Through a case study, this ethno-historical analysis uses the oral histories of three generations of African American migrants to Saginaw, Michigan to show how social processes within the African American community changed in response to the local race-based opportunity structure. This study focuses on the black migration to this northern industrial community that occurred in two waves between 1915 and 1960 and argues that different levels of expectations informed how each wave responded to the local social structure and the resulting demands for change. What will be made clear is that the social landscape for African Americans coming north at the start of the second half of the last century changed drastically, based upon a foundation laid by the migrants arriving in the first half of the twentieth century. This book suggests that the earlier cohort served to fill the social spaces created by the pre-1915 migrants and learned how to 'get by' in a society that offered few real opportunities for its Black citizens. The second wave arrived after World War II into a society that promised more, even as it failed to deliver, and demands for social justice became louder. This book details the impact of each wave through interviews and secondary data. Then it locates the origins of an activist black church and middle-class demands in the changes to material conditions of the city's Black residents and hence, cultural change over time.

Rudwick, Stephanie Inge / Nwagbo, Angela / Schmiedl, Martin, An African Diaspora in the Making: Race, Belonging and Lived Experience in Czechia. 109 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-824>
ISBN 978-3-032-10011-5 hard ¥10,336.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book addresses the timely research field of Afropean identity politics and provides a first account of the lived experience of Afroczechs and Africans in Czechia. Against the background of country-specific evasive politics on race and a discourse of colonial exceptionalism, the book explains particularities of racial formations. While critical race theory serves as an analytical tool, the book shows that there are also limits to its applicability in the Czech context. Ethnographic data focusing on racialisation and racism as fundamentally shared experiences which unite Africans and Afroczechs demonstrate that there is a momentum in which young and primarily female Afroczech activists are currently creating a diasporic space which forges a racially just and black Czech society. The book yields new insights into the specific conditions which concretise how race, hegemonic whiteness, and essentialist cultural identity ideologies co-construct each other and translate into context specific racial identity politics.

For three decades the philanthropist and billionaire investor George Soros has played a prominent role in promoting a vision of 'Open Society' in Central Eastern Europe (CEE), promoting the transition from communist statism to liberal democracy through his philanthropic measures, most notably his support for the Open Society Foundations. Within this body of work an important aspect has been Soros support and commitment to the development of Roma civil society. Support from Soros endeavours has enabled the development and progression of Roma civil society, especially at the transnational level, preparing and training Roma community leaders in the skills of community development and project management. Thousands of Roma individuals have also benefited from generous scholarship programmes funded by Open Society and Soros, completing school and university studies and other forms of training, thereby engendering role models. Soros-supported initiatives have also been highly influential in transnational diplomacy within for example the Council of Europe and the European Union, playing an important role in policy frameworks like the Decade for Roma Inclusion and the EU Framework for National Roma Integration Strategies.

A deeply researched look at the debate around immigration policy, and possible paths forward. Does political rhetoric on immigration policy match what is actually happening on the ground? Why do well-intentioned plans fail? Could immigration policy be done better? This book explores what immigration policy seeks to achieve and why so many people end up unhappy with the outcome. Drawing on decades of research and examples from high-income countries around the world, it exposes the unavoidable trade-offs governments face, and the impacts of their choices on people and communities. It reveals how we got here, why the policy challenge is so difficult, and how we get to a better place.

人種の不正義と抵抗ハンドブック
Anthony, Thalia / Bhatia, Monish / Pillay, K. et al. (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook of Racial Injustice and Resistance. (Palgrave Studies in Race, Ethnicity, Indigeneity and Criminal Justice) 825 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-427>
ISBN 978-3-032-02241-7 hard ¥51,696.- (税込) EUR 199.99

This Handbook addresses the role of the criminal-legal system in projecting and enforcing racial injustice across the globe. It consists of high-profile contributions that expose structural relations, global colonial and imperial histories, class oppression, and ongoing hegemonic domination that generate racial injustices and are embedded in criminalization and law enforcement. The Handbook considers racist ideologies and their origins, racist institutions, procedures, and practices, and their impacts, and resistance/collective responses to racism. It includes a range of different types of chapters including conceptual/theoretical, empirical, methodological, practitioner, and activist insights. It speaks to contemporary issues and is first of its kind to address racial injustice on a global scale. It is explicitly anti-racist and gathers works of critical criminology, sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, and cognate fields. The Handbook pays special attention to intersectional dynamics including nexuses of racism, class, gender, and sexuality. The Handbook focusses on the settler colonial and global majority countries, their peoples and their struggles, including questions of Indigenous justice.

Charles, Angela, Black Women in Prison: Exploring the Intersection of Race and Gender in Experiences in Prison. (Critical Criminological Perspectives) 223 pp. 2025:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-429>
ISBN 978-3-032-07809-4 hard ¥33,601.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book explores Black women's experiences in one open and one closed prison in England. It is the first of its kind that uses intersectionality to explore and provide a comprehensive overview of Black women's unique experience in prison. Race, gender and class are interweaved throughout the whole book to highlight just how interconnected they are for Black women in prison. Beyond focusing solely on imprisonment, the book also uses an original form of data analysis to explore the ways that race and gender impacted Black women prior to their imprisonment, through the visual research method of identity trees. The women wrote down key events of their lives relating to race and gender on a tree template with each part of the tree representing a period in their lives - thus moving beyond traditional forms of research methods. The book is unique as it focuses on an under-researched area and a group of individuals who have been largely rendered invisible in the prison field of academia. It has a wide scope that spans continents because issues of race, discrimination and the prison estate can be found in all areas of the globe and although some of the nuances are different, some key areas such as systemic disadvantage and oppression are present worldwide. The book is educational through its discussions of intersectionality, Black feminism, and visual research methods. It offers teachable moments for students as well as those already in academia wanting to explore non-traditional forms of conducting research.

Ivey, Jacob, Policing, Race, and the Formation of Nineteenth-Century British Colonial Natal: Badges and Knobkerries. (Britain and the World) 212 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-432>
ISBN 978-3-031-33753-6 hard ¥36,186.- (税込) EUR 139.99

This book traces the creation, implementation, and evolution of the police institutions within British colonial Natal during 'the formative period' of the colony between 1845 and 1899. It examines how white and Black members of Natal's colonial community formed their own systems of policing, creating structures of control that combined ideas from across multiple continents that illustrated the way imperial rule was not directed exclusively from the imperial metropole, but instead part of a complex mixing of indigenous and colonial ideals in the forging of colonial Natal. This influence had enormous ramifications for the police institutions in South Africa well into the twentieth century. Using numerous case studies involving the organization, actions, and influence of the police in Natal, this work provides examples of Black power and authority, prison escapes, violence by and against the constabulary, and recruitment and logistics within the colonial police. In the end, it places the history of KwaZulu-Natal centrally into the emergence of British imperial rule in South Africa in the nineteenth century.

This book exposes how policing and licensing practices shape UK nightlife as a racialised space, with harmful consequences for Black and Gypsy and Traveller communities. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and interviews with key nightlife stakeholders, it reveals how governance structures - from police-led meetings to licensing decisions - work to suppress racialized night-time events and Black male performers. Through critical analysis of police diversity training, the discriminatory actions of door staff and security teams as well as street-level policing practices, this study offers a timely intervention into debates on race, surveillance and nightlife. It is essential reading for scholars of policing, racial justice and night-time economy studies in the UK and beyond.

ISBN 978-90-04-74733-3 hard ¥34,122.- (税込) EUR 132.00

This book is interdisciplinary and competently explains the complex relationship between ethnicity, politics and security in Eastern Europe. Magdalena Karolak-Michalska diagnoses and predicts how the determinants of ethnopolitics are being securitized and what implications this process has for the security of Eastern Europe (Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine). The lack of optimal legal solutions in ethnopolitics and the increased activity of nationalist organizations promote the occurrence of ethnic conflicts and disintegration movements in Eastern Europe. This pioneering monograph also contains a catalog of important recommendations that can be used in improving systems for monitoring ethnopolitical processes and strengthening the security of Eastern Europe.

Nangle, Benjamin / Blazyte, Giedre, The Construction of Hostility Towards Migrants: The Case of the Lithuanian-Belarusian Border Crisis of 2021. (Mobility & Politics) 110 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <760-517>
ISBN 978-3-032-05957-4 hard ¥10,336.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the multifaceted factors that contributed to Lithuania's hostile stance towards immigrants, as exemplified by the country's response to the 2021 border crisis with Belarus. By examining the complex interplay of political, social, cultural, and historical factors, this research seeks to understand the unique characteristics of Lithuania's anti-migrant sentiment within the broader context of post-Soviet and Eastern European states, as well as emerging global trends in xenophobia. The analysis draws upon a diverse range of theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to explore the explanatory factors behind Lithuania's hostile reception of migrants, providing a nuanced understanding of the country's experiences and the broader implications for migration policy in the region.

ISBN 978-1-5292-3620-0 paper ¥7,421.- (税込) GB￡ 24.99

This book exposes the strategies that make migrants' lives unliveable and explores their resistance to this violence. Drawing on years of research across Europe, the author captures the lived reality of asylum seekers, refugees and other marginalised migrants, including their struggles with constant evictions, detention, push-backs, deportations and violence. Blending feminist, intersectional and decolonial perspectives, the book reframes exhaustion as both a tool of governance and a site of struggle. By amplifying neglected voices and envisioning politics grounded in solidarity, care and friendship, this is a powerful call to rethink how movement, borders and resistance are understood.

Krivonos, Daria, Race and Labour among Russian Migrants: Reclaiming Whiteness in Europe. (Decolonization and Social Worlds) 240 pp. 2026:4 (Bristol U. Pr., UK) <760-223>
ISBN 978-1-5292-4661-2 hard ¥23,760.- (税込) GB￡ 80.00

As racial boundaries are constantly negotiated in Europe and across the globe, this book explores how Russian migrant workers navigate racial capitalism in the Nordic region. Challenging the idea of a 'race-neutral' Eastern Europe, the book reveals how Russian migrants actively claim whiteness, often finding themselves on the margins of acceptability. Uniquely combining postsocialist and postcolonial perspectives, the author examines how these migrants, seeking recognition as European, reinforce economic and racial divides shaped by global capitalism. This timely work offers fresh insights into race, migration and the boundaries of whiteness across Europe's borders.

Lindebaek Schmidt Lyngsoe, Maria, Muslim Women and Pious Learning in Denmark. (Muslim Minorities 48) 260 pp. 2026:2 (Brill, NE) <760-123>
ISBN 978-90-04-74104-1 hard ¥25,591.- (税込) EUR 99.00

Based on ethnographic fieldwork, this book investigates how and why Danish Muslim women engage as teachers and students in Islamic educational activities. It does so by focusing on the learning trajectories, knowledge disseminating activities, and class interactions of the women, showing that they involve themselves in a variety of activities to stay continuously engaged, and that this is a way of becoming pious. The book makes evident that this becoming is dependent on the embeddedness of the individual in a web of relations to both this- and otherworldly others. As such, the book promotes a relational understanding of piety formation and religious engagement that are informative to studies of religious life beyond Islam.

Has capitalism always partnered with race? This book examines how capitalism operates through racialised structures across different moments in global history. Moving beyond conventional class-based analyses, the book deepens our understanding of capitalism's effects by exploring how race has been used to value, control and exploit populations. From slavery and colonial dispossession to global divisions of labour, sex tourism and consumerism, Prasad offers a vital critique of how capitalism damages not only those it devalues but also shapes the way we all live-and the condition of the planet itself.
