Book Description
¿Cuáles son las causas por las que las personas suelen migrar. Cuáles sus efectos? Existen múltiples teorías que han tratado de explicar el amplio fenómeno de las migraciones, si bien la literatura científica se ha detenido más en el análisis de las causas que en los efectos, ya sea en las sociedades de partida como de llegada. Por ello, en la actualidad aún siguen faltando trabajos que presenten ambos aspectos de manera integral. Esta obra pretende rellenar parte de este vacío. Partiendo de que en todas las migraciones hay aspectos comunes y factores compartidos, los contextos sociohistóricos y económicos aportan particularidades propias. Los movimientos de los países del sur al norte de América, por ejemplo, no son exactamente iguales que las migraciones que llegan de África a la Europa desarrollada. Eso sí, en el fondo de todos ellos está lo que hoy llamamos la globalización y las enormes bolsas de pobreza que está generando en todos los continentes.

Desde la región de la montaña en el estado mexicano de Guerrero, hasta Nueva York, Víctor Ronquillo se adentra en la extensa geografía humana de la migración. Conocemos las fronteras, descubrimos la realidad de los pueblos en agonía, abandonados por quienes se fueron al norte, también la identidad que reclaman las nuevas generaciones de migrantes en los ángeles. A las preguntas de ¿quiénes son estos migrantes?, ¿de dónde vienen?, ¿cuáles son los nuevos fenómenos de la migración?, ¿cómo se ubican ellos en un país distinto al suyo?, Víctor Ronquillo responde con las crónicas y reportajes que integran este libro.

Book Description
Worldwide, more people are on the move now than ever before, yet many refugees and migrants face poorer health outcomes than the host populations. Addressing their health needs is, therefore, a global health priority and integral to the principle of the right to health for all. The key is to strengthen and maintain health systems by ensuring that they are refugee- and migrant-sensitive and inclusive. Health outcomes are influenced by a whole host of determinants. However, refugees and migrants face additional determinants such as precarious legal status; discrimination; social, cultural, linguistic, administrative and financial barriers; lack of information about health entitlements; low health literacy; and fear of detention and deportation. This groundbreaking publication outlines current and future opportunities and challenges and provides several strategies to improve the health and well-being of refugees and migrants. It is an advocacy tool for national and international policy-makers involved in health and migration. Evidence on the health of refugees and migrants remains fragmented – comparable data across countries and over time are urgently needed to track progress towards the health-related United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With only 8 years until the 2030 target date to transform our world, the time to act is now.

Book Description
This book marks a critical contribution to the intercultural dialogue about immigration. Each year, thousands of Central Americans leave their countries and walk across Mexico, seeking to reach the United States. The author explores the dispossession process that drives these migrants from their homes and argues that they are caught in a kind of trap: forced to emigrate, but impeded to immigrate. This trap is discussed empirically through the analysis of immigration policies implemented by the United States government and ethnographic fieldwork carried out in some of “albergues” (shelters).

Book Description
This book focuses on international migration and return of highly-skilled Ghanaians and Ivorians and presents empirical research findings that demonstrate that, under certain circumstances, return migrants can act as key development agents in their home country. It investigates the influence of a number of factors that condition their motivation to return and their capacity to stimulate change in their countries of origin. The aim of the study is the assessment of policy implications related to élite returnees’ development impact in evolving socio-economic contexts. The comparative and multi-method research strategy adopted revealed that migrants tend to return home with considerable savings (financial capital), new knowledge, skills and ideas (human capital), as well as with valuable contacts (social capital). Besides their level of education, work profile, and particular life experience, whether these migrants have worked abroad for a significant period, proved the most critical factor influencing their acquisition of different kinds of capital. However, there seems to be an ‘optimum’ work duration abroad – approximately five years – after which the benefits deriving from human and financial capital acquisition tend to stabilise. At the micro level, back home skilled migrants attained their goals, improving their relative income levels, expressing satisfaction with their work conditions and, more generally, enjoying a higher quality of life. At the meso level, they provided support to others in line with expectations and pressures they faced. They also introduced many kinds of new knowledge, skills and ideas in their workplace. At the macro level, return migrants promoted economic and political transformations through, among others, the creation of new businesses and various community development initiatives. The role of return migrants is influenced by many factors linked also to their situation back home. Reintegration into their home context proved challenging, especially for women, and returning migrants need time to overcome initial hurdles and get settled before they can start to make any meaningful contribution. That is one of the reasons why there is a need to facilitate their reintegration and create a conducive environment which can also foster return migration of the highly-skilled élite. More importantly, however, evidence is produced in favour of arguments and ideas about ‘brain circulation’, a strategy that can help in maximising the positive effects stemming from migration and return.
