Book Description
We live in an age of global migration. The number of immigrants worldwide is large and growing. At the same time, public and political reactions against immigrants have grown in the US, the UK, Canada, and other traditional and non-traditional receiving nations. In response to this trend, this book assembles an interdisciplinary group of scholars to better understand two dimensions of contemporary immigration policy – a growing enforcement and restriction regime in receiving nations, and the subsequent effects on sending nations. It begins with three background chapters on immigration politics and policies in the United States, Europe, and Mexico. This is followed by eleven chapters about specific receiving and sending nations – four for the United States, three for Europe, and four for the sending nations of Mexico, Turkey, Peru, and Poland. This selection of cases and the multidisciplinary approach provides a unique perspective that supplements more standard case studies and disciplinary research. By discussing a greater range of nations and topics—the global consequences of increased deportations, stronger border security, greater travel restrictions, stagnant economies, and the loss of remittances—this volume fills a significant gap in the current body of literature. As such, this book is of interest to immigration policy scholars and students of all levels as well as individuals in think tanks, advocacy communities, the media, and governments.

Lengua española, contacto lingüistico y globalización
Author: Roland Terborg
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Indians of Mexico
Languages : es
Pages : 500
Book Description
"Las transformaciones sociales en el marco de la globalización están dando lugar a un nuevo orden lingüístico. En la actualidad podemos identificar cuatro tipos de lenguas. En primer lugar una para la comunicación internacional (inglés). En segundo lugar, un restringido grupo de lenguas regionales en las grandes áreas de intercambio social, cultural y comercial (el español en Latinoamérica, el chino mandarín en China entre otras). Por otra parte el resurgir de los nacionalismos y la crisis de los Estados-nación ubican otros dos grupos de lenguas que se adecúan a los nuevos tiempos, es decir, las lenguas nacionales (castellano, sueco, entre otras); asimismo, las lenguas indígenas y de sociedades sin país (catalán, gaélico, cora, entre otras). La presente obra se estructura en torno a los principales frentes de contacto lingüístico en los que participa la comunidad de habla española en Europa y América. Dicho contacto se produce en espacios físicos o virtuales, en ambientes formales e informales, entre ciudadanos e inmigrantes o en el interior de los Estados o en sus fronteras. A partir de esta pluralidad de situaciones, nuestro propósito es que la presente obra ponga de manifiesto -bajo la perspectiva sociológica- todos estos ámbitos de interacción, es decir, la relación entre desigualdades sociales y lingüísticas." - Prové de l'editor.

Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age
Author: Jacqueline Bhabha
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691169101
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
The first comprehensive look at the global dilemma of child migration Why, despite massive public concern, is child trafficking on the rise? Why are unaccompanied migrant children living on the streets and routinely threatened with deportation to their countries of origin? Why do so many young refugees of war-ravaged and failed states end up warehoused in camps, victimized by the sex trade, or enlisted as child soldiers? This book provides the first comprehensive account of the widespread but neglected global phenomenon of child migration, exploring the complex challenges facing children and adolescents who move to join their families, those who are moved to be exploited, and those who move simply to survive. Spanning several continents and drawing on the stories of young migrants, Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age provides a comprehensive account of the widespread and growing but neglected global phenomenon of child migration and child trafficking. It looks at the often-insurmountable obstacles we place in the paths of adolescents fleeing war, exploitation, or destitution; the contradictory elements in our approach to international adoption; and the limited support we give to young people brutalized as child soldiers. Part history, part in-depth legal and political analysis, this powerful book challenges the prevailing wisdom that widespread protection failures are caused by our lack of awareness of the problems these children face, arguing instead that our societies have a deep-seated ambivalence to migrant children—one we need to address head-on. Child Migration and Human Rights in a Global Age offers a road map for doing just that, and makes a compelling and courageous case for an international ethics of children's human rights.

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.

Teaching Translation from Spanish to English
Author: Allison Beeby Lonsdale
Publisher: University of Ottawa Press
ISBN: 077660399X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
While many professional translators believe the ability to translate is a gift that one either has or does not have, Allison Beeby Lonsdale questions this view. In her innovative book, Beeby Lonsdale demonstrates how teachers can guide their students by showing them how insights from communication theory, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and semiotics can illuminate the translation process. Using Spanish to English translation as her example, she presents the basic principles of translation through 29 teaching units, which are prefaced by objectives, tasks, and commentaries for the teacher, and through 48 task sheets, which show how to present the material to students. Published in English.
