Book Description
Over the last quarter of a century, the educational selectivity of interregional migration has varied somewhat among time periods, age groups, and interregional streams; but there have been a number of persistent tendencies, particularly with respect to migration to and from the South. In general, interregional migration tends to be selective of the better educated. Within age, sex, and color groups, interregional migrants tend to be better educated than nonmigrants at their origins or destination. The net effect of this selectivity upon the educational distribution of the population in the regions has been rather slight, however.

Book Description
Debates on migrant educational selectivity - the position of migrants in the educational distribution of the sending country - have rarely taken into account the role played by community migrant networks in shaping selectivity. Moreover, studies have seldom analyzed how changes in the availability of migrant networks over time contribute to changes in selectivity, and whether this relationship is different for rural and urban sending areas. Using life history data from the Mexican Migration Project, I test whether changes in migration prevalence over time are associated with selectivity in the Mexico-U.S. migrant flow. I also explore how this relationship differs depending on the size of the sending community in Mexico. I find that the likelihood of U.S.-bound migration increases with migration prevalence in rural communities, small cities and metropolitan areas, suggesting that community networks reproduce international migration in all three types of settings. I also find that migrant network growth produces negative selection in rural areas, a result that is consistent with previous literature on the subject. Contrary to previous findings, however, migrant network growth produces positive selection in urban settings. Moreover, network growth is associated with more positive selection in large metropolitan sending areas compared to small urban areas. I argue that differences in selectivity patterns between rural and urban areas may be a result of urban networks being made up of weak ties, which are harder to reach and provide less support than the strong ties prevalent in rural settings. These differences may be accentuated in large metropolitan areas, where individuals are more isolated and social ties are weaker.

Book Description
Migrants and minorities are always at risk of being caught in essentialized cultural definitions and being denied the right to express their cultural preferences because they are perceived as threats to social cohesion. Migrants and minorities respond to these difficulties in multiple ways — as active agents in the pedagogical, political, social, and scientific processes that position them in this or that cultural sphere. On the one hand, they reject ascribed cultural attributes while striving towards integration in a variety of social spheres, e.g. school and workplace, in order to achieve social mobility. On the other hand, they articulate demands for cultural self-determination. This discursive duality is met with suspicion by the majority culture. For societies with high levels of migration or with substantial minority cultures, questions related to the meaning of cultural heterogeneity and the social and cultural limits of learning and communication (e.g. migration education or critical multiculturalism) are very important. It is precisely here where the chances for new beginnings and new trials become of great importance for educational theorizing, which urgently needs to find answers to current questions about individual freedom, community/cultural affiliations, and social and democratic cohesion. Answers to these questions must account for both ‘political’ and ‘learning’ perspectives at the macro, mezzo, and micro contextual levels. The contributions of this edited volume enhance the knowledge in the field of migrant/minority education, with a special emphasis on the meaning of culture and social learning for educational processes.

Book Description
In 2006, the United Nations reported on the “feminization” of migration, noting that the number of female migrants had doubled over the last five decades. Likewise, global awareness of issues like human trafficking and the exploitation of immigrant domestic workers has increased attention to the gender makeup of migrants. But are women really more likely to migrate today than they were in earlier times? In Gender and International Migration, sociologist and demographer Katharine Donato and historian Donna Gabaccia evaluate the historical evidence to show that women have been a significant part of migration flows for centuries. The first scholarly analysis of gender and migration over the centuries, Gender and International Migration demonstrates that variation in the gender composition of migration reflect not only the movements of women relative to men, but larger shifts in immigration policies and gender relations in the changing global economy. While most research has focused on women migrants after 1960, Donato and Gabaccia begin their analysis with the fifteenth century, when European colonization and the transatlantic slave trade led to large-scale forced migration, including the transport of prisoners and indentured servants to the Americas and Australia from Africa and Europe. Contrary to the popular conception that most of these migrants were male, the authors show that a significant portion were women. The gender composition of migrants was driven by regional labor markets and local beliefs of the sending countries. For example, while coastal ports of western Africa traded mostly male slaves to Europeans, most slaves exiting east Africa for the Middle East were women due to this region’s demand for female reproductive labor. Donato and Gabaccia show how the changing immigration policies of receiving countries affect the gender composition of global migration. Nineteenth-century immigration restrictions based on race, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, limited male labor migration. But as these policies were replaced by regulated migration based on categories such as employment and marriage, the balance of men and women became more equal – both in large immigrant-receiving nations such as the United States, Canada, and Israel, and in nations with small immigrant populations such as South Africa, the Philippines, and Argentina. The gender composition of today’s migrants reflects a much stronger demand for female labor than in the past. The authors conclude that gender imbalance in migration is most likely to occur when coercive systems of labor recruitment exist, whether in the slave trade of the early modern era or in recent guest-worker programs. Using methods and insights from history, gender studies, demography, and other social sciences, Gender and International Migration shows that feminization is better characterized as a gradual and ongoing shift toward gender balance in migrant populations worldwide. This groundbreaking demographic and historical analysis provides an important foundation for future migration research.
