Book Description
Ante el nuevo contexto que vivimos, el MIGDEP se dio a la tarea de generar una discusión académica, para informar la manera en la que la COVID-19 impactará diferentes dimensiones de los procesos de la migración en México y Estados Unidos, así como para reflexionar sobre la necesidad de aminorar sus impactos negativos. Recogida esa discusión en esta obra, se documenta y analiza el fenómeno migratorio en/entre México y Estados unidos ante la pandemia durante el primer semestre de 2020, enfocándose en el contexto político e institucional, los impactos económicos de la enfermedad y la exacerbación de vulnerabilidades para algunas poblaciones migrantes. Además, se reflexiona sobre el modo de crear redes solidarias de apoyo y defensa de los derechos humanos de estas poblaciones con el fin de disminuir las desigualdades y vulnerabilidades. El libro reúne 18 textos —además de la presentación, el prefacio y el epílogo— de autores de ambos países: nueve textos de autores que radican en México y nueve más de autores que viven en Estados Unidos. También se buscó reunir miradas de investigadores y expertos que dialogan desde la academia, las organizaciones de la sociedad civil y los sectores público y privado que trabajan con y para poblaciones migrantes, lo que ha permitido brindar una visión interdisciplinaria.

The Demographic Dividend
Author: David Bloom
Publisher: Rand Corporation
ISBN: 0833033735
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

This publication examines the social impact of an unprecedented crisis.

From Columbus to Castro

Publisher: Andre Deutsch Limited
ISBN: 9780233976563
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
The first of its kind, From Columbus to Castro is a definitive work about a profoundly important but neglected and misrepresented area of the world. Quite simply it's about millions of people scattered across an arc of islands -- Jamaica, Haiti, Barbados, Antigua, Martinique, Trinidad, among others -- separated by the languages and cultures of their colonizers, but joined together, nevertheless, by a common heritage.

Doing the Dirty Work?
Author: Bridget Anderson
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
ISBN: 9781856497619
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
There has been a tendency amongst feminists to see domestic work as the great leveller, a common burden imposed on all women equally by patriarchy. This unique study of migrant domestic workers in the North uncovers some uncomfortable facts about the race and class aspects of domestic oppression. Based on original research, it looks at the racialisation of paid domestic labour in the North - a phenomenon which challenges feminsim and political theory at a fundamental level. The book opens with an exploration of the public/private divide and an overview of the debates on women and power. The author goes on to provide a map of employment patterns of migrant women in domestic work in the North; she describes the work they perform, their living and working conditions and their employment relations. A chapter on the US explores the connections between slavery and contemporary domestic service while a section on commodification examines the extent to which migrant domestic workers are not selling their labour but their whole personhood. The book also looks at the role of the Other in managing dirt, death and pollution and the effects of the feminisation of the labour market - as middle class white women have greater presence in the public sphere, they are more likely to push responsibility for domestic work onto other women. In its depiction of the treatment of women from the South by women in the North, the book asks some difficult questions about the common bond of womanhood. Packed with information on the numbers of migrant women working as domestics, the racism, immigration or employment legislation that constrains their lives, and testimonies from the workers themselves, this is the most comprehensive study of migrant domestic workers available.

Migration and Inequality
Author: Tanja Bastia
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135081077
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The ‘migration-development’ nexus has emerged as an important area of both research and policy over the last ten years. However, most of the interest has focused on the potential that migration holds for poverty alleviation. Relatively little attention has been paid to the relationship between migration and inequality, particularly on inequality as a consequence of migration. This is unfortunate, given that inequality is emerging as an important area of inquiry within development studies. This edited collection explores the relationship between migration and inequality in Africa, Asia and Latin America by taking into account economic and social inequalities. While the focus on inequality as opposed to poverty is in itself original, the book offers additional points of interest. First, it combines chapters on internal and international migration, thereby challenging the current focus in the migration literature that focuses almost exclusively on cross-border migration. Internal migration greatly outnumbers cross-border moves. Yet policy-makers as well as most studies focus on cross-border international migration. We are only just beginning to unravel the relationship between internal and cross-border migration. Second, the theme of inequality complements the existing focus in the migration-development nexus on issues of poverty. Third, the chapters focus on both economic and social inequalities, often combining an analysis of different types of inequalities. The book also covers governance and migrants’ rights; gender and intersectionality; and health. The chapters in this edited volume make an original contribution to debates on the migration-development nexus as well as the literature on inequality, which often tends to focus on economic measurements of inequality at the expense of including a thorough analysis of social inequality.

Spaces of Governmentality
Author: Martina Tazzioli
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1783481056
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Much work has been done on the causes and characteristics of the Arab Spring, but relatively little research has examined the political and spatial consequences that have developed following the uprisings. This book engages with the ways in which spaces in Southern Europe and Northern Africa have been negotiated and transformed by migrants in the wake of the uprisings, showing that their struggles are a continuation of their political movement. Drawing on an innovative countermapping approach, based on radical cartography, Martina Tazzioli illustrates the spatial upheavals caused by migration in the Mediterranean and the transformations created by migration controls applied by European nations. With critical insight on the application of Foucault’s concept of governmentality to migration studies, exploration of a reconfigured theory of autonomy of migration and discussion of the politics of invisibility that underpins migration, this book sheds new light on the enduring struggles that follow the Arab Spring.

In the Vortex of Violence
Author: Gema Kloppe-Santamaría
Publisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520344022
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
In the Vortex of Violence examines the uncharted history of lynching in post-revolutionary Mexico. Based on a collection of previously untapped sources, the book examines why lynching became a persistent practice during a period otherwise characterized by political stability and decreasing levels of violence. It explores how state formation processes, as well as religion, perceptions of crime, and mythical beliefs, contributed to shaping people’s understanding of lynching as a legitimate form of justice. Extending the history of lynching beyond the United States, this book offers key insights into the cultural, historical, and political reasons behind the violent phenomenon and its continued practice in Latin America today.
