"Ways of Belonging examines the experiences of undocumented young people who are excluded from K-12 schools in Canada and are rendered invisible to the education system. Canadian law doesn't mention the existence of undocumented children, and thus their access to education rests on discretionary practices and is often denied altogether. This book brings the stories of undocumented young people vividly alive, putting them into conversation with the perspectives of the different actors in schools and courts who fail to include these young people. Drawing on five years of ethnographic fieldwork, Francesca Meloni shows how ambivalence shapes the lives of young people who are caught between the desire to belong and the impossibility of fully belonging. Meloni pays close attention to these young people's struggles and hopes, showing us what it means to belong and to endure in contexts of social exclusion. Ways of Belonging reveals the opacities and failures of a system that excludes children from education and puts their lives in invisibility mode"-- Provided by publisher.

"Au centre de la vie politique française, l'immigration fait l'objet de débats souvent houleux, ranimés au moindre fait divers mais aussi à chaque élection, et alimente de multiples polémiques. Comprendre cette situation au-delà des slogans racoleurs suppose de revenir à l'Histoire, aux chiffres et aux faits, et d'examiner l'évolution des politiques de l'immigration depuis plus d'un siècle et demi. En 10 questions, ce livre permet de brosser le portrait d'une France où, malgré une tradition d'asile et d'accueil, l'immigration est régulièrement perçue comme un problème. En considérant les controverses sur l'identité nationale, la citoyenneté républicaine, le racisme ou les statistiques ethniques, l'auteur fournit des pistes de réflexion permettant d'objectiver la situation pour nourrir efficacement le débat public, loin des mythes et des fantasmes."--Page 4 of cover.

Ils posent ainsi les termes d'un nouveau privilège : la liberté de circuler."--Page 4 of cover.

This book, based on exploratory ethnographic research, analyzes the experiences of African migrants in Thailand. Thailand has always been a regional migration hub with Africans being the most recent. Sitting at the intersection of race and migration studies, this book focuses on the challenges Black and labor migrants face trying to integrate into a society that has had very limited contact with and knowledge about Black Africans. Bringing together research from African, Thai, and European scholars, this volume focuses on forced migrants, such as Somali asylum seekers, and labor migrants, largely African men seeking better livelihoods in niche economies such as gem trading, garment wholesale, and football playing and coaching. The book also includes theoretical contributions to the understanding of precarity and human security, the concept of in/visibility to analyze the challenges African migrants face in Thailand as well as the concept of othering to understand discrimination against Africans. The book also analyzes the Thai migration policy context and the challenges facing Thai policy-makers, law enforcement representatives, and the migrants themselves. While not comparative in nature, this volume directly connects with studies of Africans in other parts of Asia, especially China. Addressing an important gap in migration research, this book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of migration and mobility studies, African Studies, and Asian Studies.

"When uprisings against colonial rule broke out across the world after 1945, Britain responded with overwhelming and brutal force. What did people in Britain know about the use of torture, summary executions, collective punishments, and other ruthless methods? How did they learn about the violence committed in Britain's name? And how did they learn to live with it? The brutality of counterinsurgencies in Malaya, Kenya, and Cyprus rippled through British society, molding a home front defined not by the mobilization of resources, but by moral uneasiness and the justifications they generated in response. Age of Emergency traces facts and feelings about atrocity as they moved through activist campaigns, soldiers' letters, missionary networks, newspaper stories, sermons, novels, plays, and television dramas. While many Britons voiced opposition to colonial violence, an array of tactics employed to undermine dissent proved decisive. Some contemporaries cast doubt on facts about brutality. Others stressed the unanticipated consequences of intervening to stop it. Still others celebrated visions of racial struggle or aestheticized the grim fatalism of dirty wars. Accommodating violence that was both remote and inescapable, duty-bound and depraved, necessary and futile, shaped the British experience of decolonization"-- Provided by publisher

"In recent years, dozens of counties in North Carolina have partnered with federal law enforcement in the criminalization of immigration-what many have dubbed 'crimmigration.' Southern border enforcement still monopolizes the national immigration debate, but immigration enforcement has become common within the United States as well. While Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations are a major part of American immigration enforcement, Felicia Arriaga maintains that ICE relies on an already well-established system-the use of local law enforcement and local governments to identify, incarcerate, and deport undocumented immigrants"-- Provided by publisher

Between the Deep Blue Sea and European Realities provides further understanding of emigration flows from African countries to Europe, and the attendant impact on the two continents. With a special focus on migrants in Malta, one of the small islands around the Mediterranean, the book explores the nexus between push factors and the realities in host-countries. Combining deep personal reflection with rigorous scholarship, it reveals the coping resources and survival strategies of refugees and asylum seekers in Europe

• The Commission's ambition in the Economic and Monetary Union 2014-19
• Conclusion: Main findings and implications.

"With novel insights into the ambitions and objectives behind President Jean-Claude Juncker's European Commission, this innovative book elucidates how the Commission has transcended the concept of 'ever closer union' in its attempts to adopt a future-proof EU reform agenda in the highly contested fields of migration and economic policy. Focusing on migration and economic governance policies, the book analyses policy-maker interviews, Commission publications, and policy negotiation processes. It finds the Juncker Commission to be highly ambitious and political, in contrast to its more technocratic predecessors. In place of a self-empowering supranational agenda, it argues that the Commission has adopted a reform agenda, seeking to empower new EU bodies and actively build policy coalitions. Given that this shift in ambition was driven by external contexts, the book predicts that future Commissions will follow a similar path, providing insights into how this may be balanced with Member State ambition. With novel empirical analyses and original contributions to debates on new intergovernmentalism, new supranationalism, and liberal intergovernmentalism, this book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of European politics, EU integration, international relations, political economy, and governance"-- Provided by publisher.
