This volume explores emerging patterns of migration from Central Asia to underrepresented destinations such as Australia, Japan, South Korea, Nordic countries, and Tuerkiye. It critically examines diverse dimensions of mobility-labor migration, student migration, return migration, gendered experiences, diaspora activism, digital media, and host country responses-through empirically grounded and theoretically rich chapters. Drawing on in-depth case studies and fieldwork, this volume contributes to global migration studies while offering unique insights into post-Soviet identity transformations and comparative integration experiences. It also responds to pressing contemporary concerns, including Russian migration to Central Asia post-Ukraine invasion, migration governance during COVID-19, and gender advocacy through digital platforms in authoritarian contexts. The chapters bring together voices from early-career and senior scholars, combining interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, international relations, political science, anthropology, and media studies.

Adeniyi, Abiodun, New Hidden Narratives of African Migration: Exploring Media and the Contestation of Place. 272 pp. 2026:2 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <766-864>
ISBN 978-3-032-17226-6 hard ¥34,316.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book examines African migration through the lens of media, memory, and contested belonging, offering fresh insights into displacement, identity, misinformation, and digital storytelling. It provides a clear, research-based account of hidden migration stories, challenging dominant media portrayals while updating our understanding of longing, belonging, hybridity, and place in African mobility. Across its four carefully structured parts, the book moves from migration beyond headlines to the emotional geographies of lost homes, fractured families, and the inner struggles of diasporic identity. It explores gendered journeys, silenced histories, and the unspoken realities of intra-African and intercontinental movement, revealing how secrets, rituals, objects, and memory shape migrant lives. The text then turns to politics and power, examining colonial legacies, fragile migration governance, nationalism, and the politics of knowledge that influence how African migration is understood and controlled. The final section of the book focuses on digital belonging, surveillance, and social media, showing how African migrants use online spaces to disrupt dominant narratives, resist misinformation and disinformation, and reclaim voice and visibility. By combining media studies, migration research, and storytelling, the work offers a vital resource for students, researchers, journalists, policymakers, and general readers searching for authoritative, accessible, and transformative perspectives on African migration, media narratives, identity, and place in a globalised world.

Norman, Kelsey P. / Micinski, Nicholas R., Aiding Autocrats: Migration Management, Governance, and Repression in Africa. 256 pp. 2026:8 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <766-878>
ISBN 978-1-009-72909-3 hard ¥29,155.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00

Migration management aid has increased exponentially since 2016, often funding repression in the process. Drawing on global datasets and in-depth country case studies of Kenya, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Sudan, Kelsey P. Norman and Nicholas R. Micinski present a theoretical framework for this form of foreign assistance. This study traces the historical roots and evolution of migration management aid, explaining its politics, its impact on governance, and its long-lasting, deleterious effects on migrants, refugees, and citizens alike. While wealthy countries tout migration management aid as a way of increasing development and stopping emigration from the Global South, Aiding Autocrats exposes how this type of assistance funds authoritarianism by perpetuating colonial systems of extraction and repression and allowing local elites to leverage aid for their own purposes. Aiding Autocrats is an essential contribution to scholarship on migration management, foreign aid, development, and democratization as well as Middle Eastern, African, and European politics.

Fusco, Alex Tomas, The Production of Camp Space: An Analysis of a Refugee Camp in Mainland Greece. 327 pp. 2026:4 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <766-759>
ISBN 978-3-032-17208-2 hard ¥31,676.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book uses a Lefebvrian spatial framework to explore the 'production' of Ritsona refugee camp in Central Greece. Lefebvre's multifaceted and reflexive conceptualisation of space allows for a macro analysis that locates the camp within the global structure and layout of society, but simultaneously facilitates a more localised exploration of space as an interplay between people, social practices and the built environment of the material camp. The first half of the book contextualises the camp and examines the broader processes and structures implicated in its production, exploring the emergence of the camp as an idea, and of the birth, development and proliferation of the material camp as a technology of control. The second half of the book, meanwhile, engages with the production of camp space at the level of the everyday and from the perspective of camp residents themselves, and is structured around concepts of domestic, neighbourhood and public space.

Bakuri, Amisah, Healing Beyond Borders: Well-being, Religion, and Migration in Postcolonial Netherlands. (Religion, Spirituality and Health: A Social Scientific Approach 8) 205 pp. 2026:4 (Springer, GW) <766-80>
ISBN 978-3-032-17878-7 hard ¥36,956.- (税込) EUR 139.99

Have you ever wondered how people with a history of enslavement or colonialism heal from past trauma or navigate their life pursuits in a world with many borders? Healing Beyond Borders explores healing among people of Afro-Surinamese (with a history of enslavement) and Ghanaian (with a history of colonisation) backgrounds in the Netherlands. Healing is a dynamic, multifaceted process shaped by physical, social, institutional, and spiritual borders. The book shows how people use healing as a means of crossing and transforming various borders innovatively and courageously. Drawing on thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork, Healing Beyond Borders demonstrates that although many of the study participants identified as religious (mainly Pentecostal), religion constituted only one aspect of broader healing practices and approaches. Healing emerges not solely within religious borders but within contested spaces where identity, belonging, and survival are continually renegotiated. Often, people blend, cross, and draw strength from diverse practices, relationships, and lived experiences. The book investigates the enduring legacies of enslavement, colonialism, and displacement, emphasising how these histories are carried, reimagined, or strategically silenced across communities, generations, and contexts. Healing Beyond Borders conceptualises healing within spaces and moments where people's pain, collective memory, systemic inequality, and colonial afterlives intersect, generating both opportunities for innovation and inclusion and points of questioning and exclusion. State, racial, religious, and communal borders function as obstacles but also as sites of creativity, struggle, and transformation. Healing Beyond Borders demonstrates that negotiating these borders can simultaneously dismantle and reproduce them, thereby revealing the complex, nonlinear realities of healing and diasporic identity. Through life stories and collective practices, the book challenges reductive conceptions of African and Black diasporic life in the Netherlands and Europe. Healing Beyond Borders demonstrates that healing can be a profoundly political, relational, and transformative process shaped by communal support, religious belonging, marginality, internal critique, and the continuous navigation of the legacies of enslavement and colonialism. It provides an analytical framework for understanding how individuals and communities create meaning, care, and resistance in spaces characterised by inequality. This book is intended for scholars and students in religious studies, anthropology, sociology, migration studies, and postcolonial studies, offering conceptually rigorous and politically urgent insights into the entanglements of healing, identity, and the enduring legacies of enslavement and colonialism.

Liu, Siyao, A Neighbourhood Perspective to Migrant Integration in Peri-Urban China. (The Urban Book Series) 237 pp. 2026:4 (Springer, GW) <766-807>
ISBN 978-3-032-17086-6 hard ¥31,676.- (税込) EUR 119.99

Major cities in China have witnessed unprecedented expansion towards outer suburban areas through various forms of mixed-use, clustered development. The peripheries of Chinese cities often comprise diverse residential communities, such as urban villages, workers' dormitories, privatised work-unit compounds, and new commodity housing estates, where local residents and migrants from different backgrounds coexist in a transition period. Chinese migrants now have more housing choices within such areas, but residence in specific neighbourhoods can affect social status, thereby impacting migrants' pathways to integration into the city. This book offers a detailed examination of migrants' integration processes through these peri-urban neighbourhoods. Drawing on a rich and fine-grained examination of migratory individuals, their families, and their trajectories in four types of peri-urban neighbourhoods, the book provides a new perspective on internal migration within China. It illuminates shiminhua, the fluid integration policy for converting migrants into residents in urban China, conceptualises urban migrant integration, and investigates socio-spatial restructuring among the migrant population of China's metropolises. This book offers an understanding of migrant integration into labour-receiving cities through the lens of neighbourhoods in peri-urban Beijing, an emblematic case that illustrates core patterns of internal migration, politics, and socio-spatial changes in contemporary China.

Zhang, Yanshuo, Creative Belonging: The Qiang and Multiethnic Imagination in Modern China. (China Understandings Today) 322 pp. 2026:1 (U. Michigan Pr., US) <766-809>

China is a multicultural country home to fifty-five ethnic minority groups, yet due to linguistic and cultural barriers many of these groups remain understudied or unknown in the West. The Qiang, one of modern China's officially recognized ethnic minorities, is also China's longest-standing ethnoracial identity marker that has existed since the earliest recorded history of China. Creative Belonging investigates the formation and evolution of the Qiang as a people, a concept, and a cultural history in China. It further examines how the contemporary Qiang ethnic group interacts strategically with mainstream Chinese society, challenging the historically entrenched hierarchies between the sociocultural "centers" of China and its ethnic "peripheries." This book is based on years of ethnographic and textual-archival research in the Himalayan regions of southwest China, where the contemporary Qiang group resides. Drawing on a diverse range of official and local political discourses and previously unstudied literary, historiographical, and cinematic works, Yanshuo Zhang illuminates how the Qiang have carved out spaces of "creative belonging" within the parameters of multiculturalism in contemporary China. Rooted in ethnographic and textual-archival research, the book presents original materials produced by Qiang indigenous writers, scholars, artists, grassroots village cultural activists, and entrepreneurs at both the local and the global levels. Creative Belonging invites readers to rethink ethnicity and national belonging in China by centering minority groups' efforts to expand the meanings and implications of "Chinese culture."

Zhang, Yaou / Huang, Dongsheng, Residential Choice Behavior of Return Migrants under County-Level Urbanization: Evidence from Sichuan, Western China. (Spatial Demography and Population Governance) 243 pp. 2026:4 (Springer, GW) <766-810>
ISBN 978-981-9568-28-4 hard ¥26,396.- (税込) EUR 99.99

Focusing on county-level urbanization in Sichuan Province, this book analyzes return migrants' residential choices across three dimensions: Willingness to Return Housing Purchase Behavior Residential Location Preferences Research Focus and Methodology First, based on human capital theory and cost-benefit analysis, the study examines how career opportunities, public service access, and migration costs influence the willingness to return. Second, using spatial analysis and nonlinear models, it explores the effects of economic characteristics and local environments on housing decisions. Third, integrating job-housing integration and family life cycle theories, it investigates returning families' residential preferences and their impact on urbanization. This book is innovative in both approach and method: It integrates multi-level spatial choices across county towns, small towns, and villages to uncover regional differences in migration behavior. By combining spatial differentiation indicators with nonlinear analysis, it reveals how personal traits and environments interact, showing spatial and group differences. The mixed-methods approach blends quantitative analysis with qualitative insights for a comprehensive understanding of return migration. Theoretically, this book enriches migration research by examining residential choices in the context of new urbanization, using large-sample data from China. Practically, it provides evidence for optimizing urbanization policies, enhancing county-level population retention, and improving living conditions for return migrants. The findings offer valuable policy support for advancing county-level urbanization and rural-urban integration in western China.

KE, Hongyi, Flow and Flux: The Political History of Chinese Emigration to France, 1949-1990: A Case Study of Southern Zhejiang Migrant Communities. (Palgrave Studies in Migration History) 425 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <766-821>
ISBN 978-3-032-16934-1 hard ¥34,316.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This book examines the political circumstances of Chinese immigrants in France within a broader political climate. It explores how China's top-down policy shifts and internal Communist partisan struggles since 1949 affected the overseas Chinese policies and the lives of Chinese immigrants in France. Illustrating the special emigration policy of a socialist country during the Mao era and the characteristic tug-of-war between the mainland and Taiwan over overseas Chinese in Europe, this work also identifies "windows of opportunity" during gaps in political campaigns when the Chinese government favoured its overseas citizens, challenging misconceptions about China's overseas policies before 1978. Additionally, this book analyses migration waves after 1978, concluding that the Chinese government played a pivotal role in driving these migrations. It addresses how large-scale migration emerged after the Reform and Opening-up, especially after 1984, linking this to shifts in Communist Party policies, bureaucratic practices, factional struggles, and how the French and Chinese government deal with the illegal migration issue. Grounded in an exceptionally broad and rare set of source materials, this book draws from archives at seven research centres across mainland China, as well as collections from Academia Sinica in Taiwan, the French National Library, and French diplomatic archives. The author further enriches the analysis with first-hand interviews, including conversations with government officials, police officers, former human smugglers, and former overseas students involved in the Nationalist-Communist struggle. By leveraging these uncommon archival resources and unique personal accounts, the author tries to guide readers toward a more nuanced and multifaceted understanding of the forces shaping Chinese migration to France.

Namakula, Catherine S. (ed.), Untold Reflections from the World Conference Against Racism: From Durban to Humanity. (SpringerBriefs in Law) 121 pp. 2026:4 (Springer, GW) <766-448>
ISBN 978-3-032-17264-8 paper ¥23,756.- (税込) EUR 89.99

This book unveils the details of the processes and deliberations that culminated in the consensual global commitment to decisively confront racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and other forms of intolerance. It settles the pre-conceived and prejudicial controversies raised against the Durban Declaration and Programme of Action. High level delegates and leaders of structures of the conference address the development of the vision of nations for racial justice, building the structures of dialogue towards and during the third world conference against racism, choosing the leadership of the conference, consensus building especially on the so-called difficult issues, the role of championing states such as South Africa (host and then symbol of victory against racism) and Brazil (home to the largest population of people of African heritage outside Africa), and the legacy of the conference and outcome document. It reminds humanity of the merits and nobility of its Durban resolve, based on undertakings in Geneva, Strasbourg, Santiago de Chile, Dakar, and Teheran, under the auspices of the United Nations, and the significance of standing by it.

Rezaei, Afsane, Vernacular Religion in the Iranian Diaspora: Women and Islam in Tehrangeles. 144 pp. 2026:6 (U. Wisconsin Pr., US) <766-148>
ISBN 978-0-299-35740-5 hard ¥20,084.- (税込) US$ 89.95

With nearly half a million Iranian Americans living in and around Los Angeles, Southern California is home to more Iranians than anywhere outside Iran. Although many community members identify as secular, stereotypes characterize Iranian Americans, like other populations from Muslim-majority countries, as pejoratively religious and culturally suspect. For Iranian American women who do practice Islam, navigating their religious, ethnic, and political identities, on both personal and communal levels, is thus complex, fraught, and poorly understood by both majority communities and scholarship. Folklorist Afsane Rezaei applies theories of vernacular religion to Iranian American Muslim women living in Southern California, exploring how they negotiate their religious identities in this particularly delicate diasporic context, how they engage with external imaginaries in their practices and narratives, and how they develop a sense of agency over their religious identification. For many, Islamic religiosity in the diaspora is an integrated and embodied aspect of folklife, closely tied to the sense of self, social networks, and communal identity, and is negotiated and reimagined in everyday, improvised, and sometimes contradictory ways. Rezaei's careful ethnography reaches beyond the binary of piety and resistance and offers new and nuanced understandings of Iranian American lived religion.

Groutel, Anne, The Two Irelands and the Diaspora: The Politics and Economics of a Self-Serving Attachment. 323 pp. 2026:4 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <766-182>
ISBN 978-3-032-12354-1 hard ¥31,676.- (税込) EUR 119.99

At the intersection of economic and political history, this book explores the pivotal role of the Irish diaspora in the development of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. It examines the strategies their respective authorities used to harness it. While post-partition efforts were limited, from the 1950s onward both Irelands successfully engaged diaspora business elites to attract investment and stimulate growth. Highlighting the discreet yet decisive influence of powerful Irish-American businessmen, the study analyses their complex interactions with Irish policymakers. Marked by mutual interests, strategic collaboration, and subtle power dynamics, these relationships played a crucial role at key moments in Ireland's economic history. Drawing on a century of previously unpublished archival sources from Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the United States, including government records, parliamentary papers, and contemporary press, this book provides fresh comparative insights into the economic policies of the two Irelands and the enduring impact of the diaspora on Ireland-US relations. Offering a rigorous and engaging analysis, this book demonstrates how the entrepreneurial networks of the Irish diaspora have been instrumental in shaping modern Ireland. It is essential reading for scholars in economic and business history, Irish history, and diaspora studies.

ISBN 978-1-0353-1912-1 hard ¥30,690.- (税込) GB￡ 100.00

This book explores how gender is a determining factor shaping mobilities in the Global South. It examines why women and girls often face more barriers to safe, affordable, and accessible transport, and how these barriers limit their opportunities for education, work, and participation in society.Drawing on research from multiple countries, contributors investigate how history, politics, economics, and culture influence daily journeys, from walking to using public transport, and even migrating across borders. The book challenges the dominance of Global North perspectives in mobility studies, calling for new theories and solutions that reflect the realities of the Global South. It combines academic research with practical insights, showing how transport planning, infrastructure, and policies can become more inclusive. Ultimately, it argues that incorporating a gender perspective in transport policy and planning at different levels is key to eliminating inequalities.This is a key resource for researchers in transport and mobility studies, geography, urban planning and development studies interested in gender and transport-related inequalities in low and middle-income countries. Furthermore, it provides actionable frameworks and examples for policy makers and NGOs in transport and gender equity.

This volume (Parts A and B) contains 16 new studies that shed light on key aspects of immigration: the drivers of immigration, the factors fostering or hindering immigrant integration in the host country, and the impact of immigration in the host countries. The studies span a wide range of countries in Europe, North and South America and use novel administrative, regional and survey data to offer insights into historical and contemporary episodes of migration. Together, they enrich our understanding of the determinants and consequences of migration and provide an evidence base for policy discussions. The volume covers three broad themes. In both Part A and B are eight papers on the integration of immigrants in the host society, focusing on the acquisition of human capital, labor supply, family formation, and returns to skills. Part B also studies the impact of immigration on outcomes that often dominate the public debate, namely employment, education, and crime. Published twice per year in conjunction with the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Research in Labor Economics contains new cutting edge peer reviewed research applying economic theory and econometrics to policy related topics pertinent to worker well-being often with an international focus.

Garni, Alisa, Crafting Dignity: How Immigrant Dairy Workers Transform Rural Communities. 192 pp. 2026:2 (U. Pr. Kansas, US) <766-248>

Based on years of ethnographic research in rural Kansas, Crafting Dignity is an eye-opening look at why Latin American immigrants came to work on dairy farms in the Heartland and how their presence is transforming both the industry and their local communities. Immigrants in the United States are overrepresented among essential workers in agro-food production. In the dairy industry alone, immigrants constitute 51 percent of the labor force and produce 80 percent of the country's milk. Whereas most food production in the United States today is controlled by large corporations, at least 97 percent of US dairy farms are family owned and operated. Based on five years of ethnographic research in "Dairy City," Kansas, Alisa Garni tells the story of people who traded suits and office jobs abroad for dangerous work on US dairy farms, the white dairy farmers who rely on them to keep their family-owned operations afloat, and the rural communities that were dying before recent immigrants arrived. Crafting Dignity follows immigrant employees from three competing family dairy farms in rural Kansas and examines how labor relations on each farm affect people's settlement experiences in Dairy City, as well as their impact on the local community. In detailing how people's work lives are woven into the broader social fabric of rural America, Crafting Dignity sheds fresh light on how managers' labor practices interact with social, political, and historical forces to impact the viability of farms and communities. In an era of increased political anxiety about immigration and migrant labor, Crafting Dignity shows what life is really like for these workers and how more just labor practices foster a better life-not only for the laborers but for the community as a whole.

Goerg, Anna-Christine, Decoding Migration Policy: Determinants of Immigration Rules for Workers in Low-Skilled Jobs. (Studien zur Migrations- und Integrationspolitik) 367 pp. 2026:2 (Springer VS, GW) <766-249>
ISBN 978-3-658-50860-9 paper ¥29,036.- (税込) EUR 109.99

This book examines the determinants of immigration policy for workers in low-skilled jobs (LILSO) in democratic states. It moves beyond conventional economic explanations of migration policy and explores the complex interplay of political, historical, institutional, and social factors that shape labor immigration regulations. Key themes include: * The role of institutions and historical contexts in shaping long-term migration policy trends. * The political and social conditions that lead to policy changes beyond economic drivers. * The interaction between stable institutional frameworks and short-term political and societal shifts. Methodologically, it employs Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), a case-oriented approach that allows for the identification of complex causal patterns and multiple pathways leading to similar policy outcomes. By studying nearly 30 democratic countries and over 80 immigration policy reforms between 1990 and 2019, the book presents a comparative analysis of migration regulation types and the policy shifts that occur under different economic and political conditions.

Barber, Marian J., Texan Crucible: How the Irish, Germans, and Czechs Became Anglo. 264 pp. 2026:6 (U. Texas Pr., US) <766-1060>
ISBN 978-1-4773-3410-2 hard ¥10,048.- (税込) US$ 45.00

A history of European immigrants in Texas and how they redefined racial identity. While the creation of a Black-White racial binary was foundational to most of the United States, nineteenth-century Texas developed a unique tripartite system that acknowledged the role of individuals of Mexican ancestry in a region that was Spanish, Mexican, and an independent nation before becoming a US (and briefly Confederate) state. Yet this framework was fraught, struggling to accommodate new arrivals from beyond North America, in particular the Irish, Germans, and Czechs. Texan Crucible tells the story of these immigrants and how they became Anglo. Marian Barber reveals the ways language, religion, alcohol use, and attitudes toward slavery distinguished these newcomers to Texas from those arriving from the eastern United States and how they nevertheless created thriving, influential communities. Their status was shaped by events inside and far beyond Texas, including an 1887 prohibition fight, the Civil War, and two world wars that encouraged them to erase their distinctiveness. As segregation was formally outlawed and civil rights activism grew, understandings of race shifted, cementing these groups' status as Anglo. Texan Crucible recovers the histories of German, Irish, and Czech immigrants and unveils the social construction of racial difference underpinning Texan identity.

De Pretto, Laura / Mirza, Saira (eds.), Migration Psychology: Identity Dynamics, Belonging, and Resilience in the UK. 233 pp. 2026:4 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <766-1063>
ISBN 978-3-032-13686-2 hard ¥39,596.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This book explores the psychological dimensions of migration, identity formation, and intragroup dynamics within global diaspora communities. By examining the mental and social processes that shape the experiences of ethnic minorities, this book, the first of a two-volume edited collection, offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the impact of migration and cultural adaptation. The book's central theme is that migration is not only a social and cultural phenomenon but a deeply psychological experience that shapes individuals' identities and group relations in complex and often challenging ways. The volume advances understanding of how migration affects psychological well-being, cultural identity, and both inter and intragroup relations, making a significant contribution to the field of migration studies and psychological research.

Elhinnawy, Hind (ed.), Shaping UK Higher Education in the Shadow of Racial Injustice: Decolonising Curriculum, Pedagogy and Practice. (Palgrave Studies in Race, Inequality and Social Justice in Education) 328 pp. 2026:4 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <766-1064>
ISBN 978-3-032-14334-1 hard ¥39,596.- (税込) EUR 149.99

This edited book captures the urgent, complex and evolving landscape of decolonisation in UK higher education. Emerging in the wake of the 2020 racial justice uprisings and amid a resurgence of white supremacist violence, it interrogates whether the momentum for anti-racist change can withstand political backlash and entrenched structural inequalities. The volume moves beyond abstract theory to offer a grounded, interdisciplinary exploration of how decolonisation is being implemented, contested and lived across academic spaces. It highlights the pedagogical and institutional challenges faced by staff and students, while amplifying the voices of those at the forefront of transformative change. By bridging theory and practice, and foregrounding lived experience, this collection offers a timely and necessary contribution to the ongoing struggle for equity and justice in higher education.

Gramith, Luke, The Red Italians of Monfalcone: Everyday Fascism, Communist Horizons, and the Migration of an Italian Border Community Beyond the Iron Curtain. (George L. Mosse Series in the History of European Culture, Sexuality, and Ideas) 378 pp. 2026:5 (U. Wisconsin Pr., US) <766-1070>
ISBN 978-0-299-35610-1 hard ¥17,851.- (税込) US$ 79.95

Between 1946 and 1948, roughly 5,000 ethnic Italians from the northern Adriatic shipbuilding town of Monfalcone relocated to the newly communist Yugoslavia. This rare case of eastward Cold War migration demonstrates how ordinary people conceived of liberation during the transitional years between World War II and the early Cold War-a time when Monfalcone was both the object of competing Italian and Yugoslav territorial claims and the subject of Anglo-American military occupation. In The Red Italians of Monfalcone, Luke Gramith undertakes a deep and detailed analysis-based on archival sources in Italy, Slovenia, and the United States-of how the Monfalconesi came to understand fascism and communism through everyday experience, and how those emergent ideologies affected and were affected by their migration. In the course of his analysis, Gramith also examines the failure of "defascistization" and how it fueled strong (but ultimately unsuccessful) pro-Yugoslav and communist movements.

The story of an influential Black Panther member who has lived in exile in Africa for 55 years Florida Book Awards, Silver Medal for General Nonfiction In the tumultuous year after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, 29-year-old Pete O'Neal became inspired by reading The Autobiography of Malcolm X and founded the Kansas City branch of the Black Panther Party (BPP). The same year, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover declared the BPP was the "greatest threat to the internal security of the country." Black Panther in Exile is the gripping story of O'Neal, one of the influential members of the movement, who now lives in Africa-unable to return to the United States but refusing to renounce his past. Arrested in 1969 and convicted for transporting a shotgun across state lines, O'Neal was free on bail pending his appeal when Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois chapter of the BPP, was assassinated by the police. O'Neal and his wife fled the United States for Algiers. Eventually they settled in Tanzania, where the O'Neals continue the social justice work of the Panthers through community and agricultural programs and host study-abroad programs for American students. Paul Magnarella-a veteran of the United Nations Criminal Tribunals and O'Neal's attorney during his appeals process from 1997 to 2001-describes his unsuccessful attempts to overturn what he argues was a wrongful conviction. He lucidly reviews the evidence of judicial errors, the prosecution's use of a paid informant as a witness, perjury by both the prosecution's key witness and a federal agent, as well as other constitutional violations. He demonstrates how O'Neal was denied justice during the height of the COINTELPRO assault on black activists in the United States.

Medel, China, Spectral Aesthetics: Visualizing the Crisis of Migrant Disappearance. 256 pp. 2026:6 (U. Texas Pr., US) <766-1076>

Analyzing how artists reimagine migrant disappearance and visibility at the US-Mexico border. In the mid-1990s, the US government implemented Prevention through Deterrence, a major buildup of troops, walls, and surveillance around El Paso and San Diego. Cut off from these crucial urban crossings, migrants flowed into the dangerous surrounding deserts, where some ten thousand have since died. This is all according to plan: Pentagon documents describe the strategy of funneling migrants toward "mortal danger." In this bracing critique, China Medel explores the aesthetics enabling and resisting the crisis of migrant death. The nation-state's performance of sovereignty along the border, predicated on mass casualties, is tolerated and even celebrated, thanks to the images in our heads of racialized and therefore criminal bodies, made invisible as they disintegrate in the baking sand. Spectral Aesthetics shows how state officials and mainstream media, relying on postracial ideologies and white-supremacist agendas, collectively foster this picture of a brown body so abject that it is disposable. In close readings of artworks contesting this murderous visual regime, Medel discovers an alternative kind of sight, one emphasizing the ghostly traces of the dead. These are images not of the individual "alien" but of life itself, indisposable.

Ponton, David, Houston and the Permanence of Segregation: An Afropessimist Approach to Urban History. 290 pp. 2026:4 (U. Texas Pr., US) <766-1079>

2025 Most Significant Scholarly Book, Texas Institute of Letters A history of racism and segregation in twentieth-century Houston and beyond. Through the 1950s and beyond, the Supreme Court issued decisions that appeared to provide immediate civil rights protections to racial minorities as it relegated Jim Crow to the past. For black Houstonians who had been hoping and actively fighting for what they called a "raceless democracy," these postwar decades were often seen as decades of promise. In Houston and the Permanence of Segregation, David Ponton argues that these were instead "decades of capture": times in which people were captured and constrained by gender and race, by faith in the law, by antiblack violence, and even by the narrative structures of conventional histories. Bringing the insights of Black studies and Afropessimism to the field of urban history, Ponton explores how gender roles constrained thought in black freedom movements, how the "rule of law" compelled black Houstonians to view injustice as a sign of progress, and how antiblack terror undermined Houston's narrative of itself as a "heavenly" place. Today, Houston is one of the most racially diverse cities in the United States, and at the same time it remains one of the most starkly segregated. Ponton's study demonstrates how and why segregation has become a permanent feature in our cities and offers powerful tools for imagining the world otherwise.

Rostas, Iulius / Mirga-Kruszelnicka, Anna / Rus, Calin (eds.), Racism and Romani Studies: Challenging Academia, Policy, and Representation. (Critical Perspectives on Romani Studies / Kritische Perspektiven auf Romani Studies) 342 pp. 2026:4 (Springer, GW) <766-1081>
ISBN 978-3-032-16825-2 hard ¥36,956.- (税込) EUR 139.99

The volume explores how racism has shaped the lives of Roma across Europe and how scholarship itself has often perpetuated exclusion. The volume is structured into three parts and assembles empirical evidence, critical theoretical insights, and innovative strategies: Part I advances conceptual clarifications on racism and antigypsyism and examines academia's historical role in shaping Roma representations; Part II analyzes manifestations of antigypsyism across diverse contexts-from policing practices and institutional structures to labor market exclusion and media portrayals. Part III proposes innovative strategies and approaches for confronting racism against Roma, emphasizing the importance of Roma participation in knowledge production and policymaking. Contributions from a diverse pool of established and emerging scholars dissect topics such as the legacy of gypsylorism, systemic racism in welfare systems, education, visual misrepresentations in popular culture, and the role of racial capitalism in Roma marginalization. Through empirical studies, critical historiographies, and theoretical reflections, contributors illuminate the persistent entanglement between academic discourse, state practices, and racialized governance. In showing how racism operates at structural and individual levels, the volume stands as an essential resource for scholars of ethnic and racial studies, sociology, anthropology, political science, and policy studies, as well as activists, and policymakers committed to challenging centuries of discrimination.

第二次世界大戦を通じた日系アメリカ人とネバダ
Russell, Andrew B., Like Friends, Like Foes: Japanese Americans and Nevada Through World War II. (Wilbur S. Shepperson Series in Nevada History) 272 pp. 2026:4 (U. Nevada Pr., US) <766-1082>
ISBN 978-1-64779-243-5 hard ¥8,919.- (税込) US$ 39.95

Like Friends, Like Foes offers a comprehensive analysis of how Nevada residents responded and reacted to the "Japanese Question" during World War II. Both before and during the war, the experience of Japanese American residents of Nevada varied widely. Once the war started, Japanese immigrants experienced an unusual case of mass internment fromthe mining towns of Ruth and McGill, Nevada, while Japanese American railroad workers and their families, scattered across the state, faced sudden layoffs and evictions. At the same time, most of the Japanese Americans living in Nevada fared much better than their counterparts who resided in the surrounding states. Andrew Russell's study examines how variations in local history and local circumstances generated starkly different perspectives and responses to the supposed "Japanese problems" confronting Nevada's small communities, the state, and the larger region. While Russell's interpretive history spotlights some highly unusual developments, it nevertheless offers fresh evidence of how individuals or small groups can play significant roles in combating the abuse of civil rights during times of fear and uncertainty.

Schiller, Maria, State and Civil Society Relations in Local Immigrant Policymaking: Collaboration, Power and Conflict. 176 pp. 2026:6 (E. Elgar, UK) <766-1083>
ISBN 978-1-0353-5969-1 hard ¥26,086.- (税込) GB￡ 85.00

This innovative book develops an integrated analytical lens for studying state and civil society interactions in migration policymaking. Maria Schiller highlights the key factors shaping the dynamics between state and civil society relations: efforts to balance power asymmetries, building trust and creating shared ideas and visions of migration-related diversity.Drawing on Robert Agranoff's concept of 'collaborarchy', the book conceptualizes the relations between state and civil society as fluid, spanning a continuum between collaboration and conflict. Bridging urban social movement and governance theories, this concept is explored in case studies such as the top down approach to managing civil society in Rotterdam and building an urban diversity alliance in Mannheim. The book expands its study outside of single actors and structural factors, illustrating how actor relationships are an important predictor for local migration and diversity policymaking.This insightful book is a key resource for students and scholars of politics and public policy, sociology, urban and regional studies and migration studies. It is also beneficial for practitioners in migration, diversity, civic participation and urban governance seeking a deeper understanding of the relations between state and civil society in immigrant policymaking.

Ujlaki, Anna, A Feminist Exploration of Migration: A Critical Cosmopolitan Care Approach. (International Political Theory / Palgrave Pivot) 149 pp. 2026:3 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <766-1085>
ISBN 978-3-031-86851-1 hard ¥10,556.- (税込) EUR 39.99

This book provides a twofold critique of mainstream political theory, drawing on feminisms to develop a more comprehensive understanding of migration. Grounded in both a critical cosmopolitan approach and the ethics and politics of care, the book shows what a feminist approach to migration would look like. The author focuses on migrants' perspectives and places ideas around dispossession and exclusion at the centre of the argument. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners who seek to understand the relationship between migration and gendered human experiences.
