Migration and Welfare in the New Europe: Social Protection and the Challenges of Integration
Edited by Emma Carmel, Alfio Cerami, and Theodoros Papadopoulos
Policy Press, 280 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1847426441, $87.79
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1847426441/centerforimmigra
Book Description: This book provides innovative insights into one of the most controversial and important subjects of the 21st century: migration and social integration. Empirically, the volume offers comprehensive grounding in the relationships between migration, migration policies and social protection/inclusion in the enlarged European Union and its member states. Theoretically, the collection moves the debate on migration and integration policies onto new terrain. It explains how policies in this field are produced by institutional frameworks, political strategy, and contingent responses to events, but that these are themselves fundamentally shaped by discourses, narratives and 'formal' and 'informal' governance mechanisms. With contributions from leading international experts, the book will be useful to academics and professionals as well as by undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Getting Ahead: Social Mobility, Public Housing, and Immigrant Networks
By Silvia Dominguez
NYU Press, 288 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0814720773, $44.55
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0814720773/centerforimmigra
Kindle, ASIN: B004DZPAMG, $9.99
Book Description: Getting Ahead tells the compelling stories of Latin-American immigrant women living in public housing in two Boston-area neighborhoods. Silvia Domínguez argues that these immigrant women parlay social ties that provide support and leverage to develop networks and achieve social positioning to get ahead. Through a rich ethnographic account and in-depth interviews, the strong voices of these women demonstratehow they successfully negotiate the world and achieve social mobility through their own individual agency, skillfullynavigating both constraints and opportunities.
Domínguez makes it clear that many immigrant women are able to develop the social support needed for a rich social life, and leverage ties that open options for them to develop their social and human capital. However, she also shows that factors such as neighborhood and domestic violence and the unavailability of social services leave many women without the ability to strategize towards social mobility. Ultimately, Domínguez makes important local and international policy recommendations on issue ranging from public housing to world labor visas, demonstrating how policy can help to improve the lives of these and other low-income people.

The Contested Politics of Mobility: Borderzones and Irregularity
Edited by Vicki Squire
Routledge, 256 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0415584612, $117.69
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0415584612/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Critically intervening in debates around the governing of irregular migration, The Contested Politics of Mobility explores the politics of mobility through what is defined as an ‘analytic of irregularity’. It brings together authors who address issues of mobility and irregularity from a range of distinct perspectives, to focus on the politics of control as well as the politics of migration. The volume develops an account of irregularity as a produced, ambivalent and contested socio-political condition, showing how this is activated through wide-ranging ‘borderzones’ that pull between migration and control. Covering cases from across contemporary North America and Europe and examining a range of control mechanisms, such as biometrics, deportation and workplace raiding, the volume refuses the term ‘illegal’ to describe movements of people across borders. In so doing, it highlights the complexity of relations between different regions and between a politics of migration and a politics
control, and makes a timely intervention in the intersecting fields of critical citizenship, migration and security studies.

Displacement Beyond Conflict: Challenges for the 21st Century
By Christopher McDowell and Gareth Morrell
Berghahn Books, 192 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1845457722, $64.99
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1845457722/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Climate change, accelerating environmental degradation, rapid industrialization and intensifying competition over the world's resources is creating population displacement on an unprecedented scale, resulting in serious societal conflict. One estimate claims there will be 1 billion forcibly displaced people by 2050. It is recognized that the causes of human displacement are interlinked - with common roots in bad government, lack of democracy, human rights violations, poverty and extreme pressure on and poor management of the environment. Examining the causes and consequences and options available for addressing the dramatic rise in the numbers of displaced people, this volume considers the effects on human rights, protection and material needs of displaced people and how well - or not - national governments, international agencies and civil society address these needs.

Immigration and Acculturation: Mourning, Adaptation, and the Next Generation

Jason Aronson, 310 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0765708248, $56.24
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0765708248/centerforimmigra
Kindle, ASIN: B004GHNHTO, $50.62
Book Description: Moving from one country to another causes a radical alteration of one's cultural and geophysical surround. Separation from friends and family, loss of valued possessions, and encountering new ways of living result in mental pain and disorienting anxieties. In Immigration and Acculturation, Salman Akhtar examines the traumatic impact of immigration and the acculturation process and the psychological defenses that are mobilized in the immigrant, including nostalgia and fantasies of return. Akhtar explores each aspect of an immigrant's life, shedding light on the complexities of work, friendship, sex, marriage, aging, religion, and politics, as well as showing how unresolved conflicts are passed on to the next generation. Akhtar provides first-hand accounts from immigrants from a variety of backgrounds and countries of origin, and he provides clinical strategies for working with immigrant and ethnically diverse patients and their offspring. Deftly synthesizing observations from
psychoanalysis, anthropology, literature, history, and related disciplines in the humanities, Salman Akhtar elegantly elucidates postmigration identity change.

Becoming Bicultural: Risk, Resilience, and Latino Youth

Hardcover, ISBN: 0814740898, $75.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0814740898/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 0814740901, $23.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0814740901/centerforimmigra
Kindle, ASIN: B004JHXPRK, $9.99
Book Description: Although the United States has always been a nation of immigrants, the recent demographic shifts resulting in burgeoning young Latino and Asian populations have literally changed the face of the nation. This wave of massive immigration has led to a nationwide struggle with the need to become bicultural, a difficult and sometimes painful process of navigating between ethnic cultures.
While some Latino adolescents become alienated and turn to antisocial behavior and substance use, others go on to excel in school, have successful careers, and build healthy families. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data ranging from surveys to extensive interviews with immigrant families, Becoming Bicultural explores the individual psychology, family dynamics, and societal messages behind bicultural development and sheds light on the factors that lead to positive or negative consequences for immigrant youth. Paul R. Smokowski and Martica Bacallao illuminate how immigrant families, and American communities in general, become bicultural and use their bicultural skills to succeed in their new surroundings The volume concludes by offering a model for intervention with immigrant teens and their families which enhances their bicultural skills.

Irresistible Forces: Latin American Migration to the United States and its Effects on the South
By Gregory B. Weeks and John R. Weeks
University of New Mexico Press, 288 pp.
Paperback, ISBN: 0826349188, $29.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0826349188/centerforimmigra
Book Description: The politics, social issues, and cultural impacts of Latin American migration to the United States are often studied by historians and political scientists, but the regional focus is typically on the Southwest and California. This study examines the phenomenon of the impact of Latin American migration on the southeastern United States, a region that now has the nation's fastest growing immigrant population.
Incorporating a political demography approach, this study seeks to provide a clear understanding of the complex dynamics of migration with particular emphasis on the unique demographic fit between the United States and Latin America. This fit arises from one region needing young workers while the other has more than its economy can absorb. Although a relatively simple concept, it is one that has largely been ignored in the political discussions of migration policy. This study argues that the social and political ramifications of and policy responses to Latin American immigration can best be understood when viewed in light of these circumstances.

Across the Atlantic: African Immigrants in the United States Diaspora
Edited by Emmanuel Yewah and Dimeji Togunde
Common Ground Publishing, 188 pp.
Paperback, ISBN: 1863357882, $30.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1863357882/centerforimmigra
Book Description: This book offers a fresh multidisciplinary perspective towards an understanding of African immigration to the United States diaspora, by documenting for the first time, an empirical analysis of how media and literary portrayal of the United States create impressions of America and thus the desire to migrate. It expands on how pre-departure characteristics including socialization experiences, religious traditions, and practices such as African foods, cultural festivals and African languages impact African immigrants' adaptation and coping mechanisms amid challenges at the country of destination. It brings to the fore how African immigrants' ethnic group identities at the country of origin determine ethnic relations and cultural integration in the society of encounter. Additionally, it explicates how the social organization of the African family influences remittance flows. Finally, the book elucidates on how Africans in Diasporas impact the reconstruction of homelands' political
identities as well as the effect of African Diaspora cyber-citizenship and cyber political activities on the conception of African national identity.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1617611824, $115.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1617611824/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Some employers maintain that they continue to need the 'best and the brightest' workers, regardless of their country of birth, to remain competitive in a world-wide market and to keep their firms in the United States. While support for increasing employment-based immigration may be dampened by the high levels of unemployment, proponents argue that the ability to hire foreign workers is an essential ingredient for economic growth. This book explores the immigration and admission issues concerning foreign and guest worker programs in the United States.
