Book Description
Brettell's new book provides new insight into the processes of migration and transnationalism from an anthropological perspective. It has been estimated at the turn of the millennium that 160 million people are living outside of their country of birth or citizenship. The author analyzes macro and micro approaches to migration theory, utilizing her extensive fieldwork in Portugal as well as research in Germany, Brazil, France, the United States and Canada. Key issues she discusses include: the value of immigrant incorporation vs. assimilation models; the impacts on individual, household and community as well as institutions and states; the role of ethnicity and ethnic groups; the effects of clandestine or illegal immigration; the differing commitments to host vs. sending communities; the shift from city enclaves to suburban areas; the constraints and opportunities that lead to ethnic entrepreneurship; the role of religion in transnational linkages; and the differing experiences of men and women as migrants. Brettell also explores the relevance of life histories and oral narratives in understanding the immigration process and the mediation of boundaries in a new society. This book provides a fresh perspective on the contemporary experience of migration and will be indispensable to instructors and researchers in anthropology, race and ethnic studies, immigration studies, urban studies, sociology, and international relations.

Book Description
Colonial Subjects is the first book to use a combination of world-system and postcolonial approaches to compare Puerto Rican migration with Caribbean migration to both the United States and Western Europe. Ramón Grosfoguel provides an alternative reading of the world-system approach to Puerto Rico's history, political economy, and urbanization processes. He offers a comprehensive and well-reasoned framework for understanding the position of Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, the position of Puerto Ricans in the United States, and the position of colonial migrants compared to noncolonial migrants in the world system.

Book Description
The concept of »postmigration« has recently gained importance in the context of European societies' obsession with migration and integration along with emerging new forms of exclusion and nationalisms. This book introduces ongoing debates on the developing concept of »postmigration« and how it can be applied to arts and culture. While the concept has mainly gained traction in the cultural scene in Berlin, Germany, the contributions expand the field of study by attending to cultural expressions in literature, theatre, film, and art across various European societies, such as the United Kingdom, France, Finland, Denmark, and Germany. By doing so, the contributions highlight this concept's potential and show how it can offer new perspectives on transformations caused by migration.

Book Description
This Fall 2011 (IX, 4) issue of Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge, entitled "Contesting Memory: Museumizations of Migration in Comparative Global Context," includes papers from the conference on "Museums and Migration" organized by the volume co-editors on June 25-26, 2010, at the Maison des Science de l'Homme (MSH) in Paris. The focus here is on questions of representation and social agency of both migrants and migration museum officials, adopting a comparative perspective on the complex and conflictive articulation between how migrants are represented by themselves and by museum institutions. Migrants are not passive but social agents actively involved in their communities and socially vigilant of the way they are treated, perceived and represented by the host society. They produce also their own representations that are often in conflict with Western hegemonic perceptions of their cultures and identities. Their strong presence in global cities and metropolitan societies today confronts the dominant society with issues of racial/ethnic discrimination and historical memory otherwise ignored by hegemonic Western views. Museums dealing with the history of slavery, migration and colonialism emerged as spaces of contestation, the term "migrant" itself being contested by long-established "minority" groups as one of the ways the dominant society still treats them as "foreigners" and "immigrants." Contributors include: Ramón Grosfoguel (also as journal issue guest editor), Yvon Le Bot (also as journal issue guest editor), Alexandra Poli (also as journal issue guest editor), Andrea Meza Torres, Lia Paula Rodrigues, Cristina Castellano, Estela Rodríguez García, Ilham Boumankhar, Véronique Bragard, Artwell Cain, Stephen Small, and Mohammad H. Tamdgidi (also as journal editor-in-chief).

Book Description
García-Canclini ha sido uno de los principales antropólogos que ha tratado la posmodernidad y la cultura desde la perspectiva latinoamericana. En las actuales condiciones de globalización, encuentro cada vez mayores razones para emplear los conceptos de mestizaje e hibridación. Pero al intensificarse la interculturalidad migratoria, económica y mediática se ve que no hay solo fusión, cohesión, ósmosis, sino confrontación y diálogo. En este tiempo en que las decepciones de las promesas del universalismo abstracto han conducido a las crispaciones particularistas (Laplantine-Nouss), el pensamiento y las prácticas mestizas son recursos para reconocer lo distinto y elaborar las tensiones de las diferencias. La hibridación, como proceso de intersección y transacciones, es lo que hace posible que la multiculturalidad evite lo que tiene de segregación y pueda convertirse en interculturalidad. Las políticas de hibridación pueden servir para trabajar democráticamente con las divergencias, para que la historia no se reduzca a guerras entre culturas. Podemos elegir vivir en estado de guerra o en estado de hibridación. Es útil que se advierta sobre las versiones demasiado amables del mestizaje. Por eso, conviene insistir en que el objeto de estudio no es la hibridez, sino los procesos de hibridación. Así puede reconocerse lo que contienen de desgarramiento y lo que no llega a ser fusionado. Una teoría no ingenua de la hibridación es inseparable de una conciencia crítica de sus límites, de lo que no se deja o no quiere o no puede ser hibridado. Al estudiar movimientos recientes de globalización advertimos que estos no solo integran y generan mestizajes; también segregan, producen nuevas desigualdades y estimulan reacciones diferencialistas. Néstor García Canclini recibió por esta obra, traducida al inglés, italiano y portugués, el Premio Iberoamericano Book Award de la Latin American Studies Association como mejor libro sobre América latina publicado en el período 1990-1992. Esta nueva edición añade un texto en el que el autor analiza los debates sobre hibridación de la última década.

Book Description
The only recent English-language work on Spanish-American indigenismo from a literary perspective, Estelle Tarica’s work shows how modern Mexican and Andean discourses about the relationship between Indians and non-Indians create a unique literary aesthetic that is instrumental in defining the experience of mestizo nationalism. Engaging with narratives by Jess Lara, Jos Mara Arguedas, and Rosario Castellanos, among other thinkers, Tarica explores the rhetorical and ideological aspects of interethnic affinity and connection. In her examination, she demonstrates that these connections posed a challenge to existing racial hierarchies in Spanish America by celebrating a new kind of national self at the same time that they contributed to new forms of subjection and discrimination. Going beyond debates about the relative merits of indigenismo and mestizaje, Tarica puts forward a new perspective on indigenista literature and modern mestizo identities by revealing how these ideologies are symptomatic of the dilemmas of national subject formation. The Inner Life of Mestizo Nationalism offers insight into the contemporary resurgence and importance of indigenista discourses in Latin America. Estelle Tarica is associate professor of Latin American literature and culture at the University of California, Berkeley.

Book Description
¿Cómo interpretar los actuales conflictos latinoamericanos que aún no se han ido y la modernidad que no acaba de llegar? En este libro se confrontan los debates teóricos acerca de lo moderno y lo posmoderno con estudios sobre los usos populares del arte culto y de los medios masivos. Se analizan comparativamente la forma en que los museos, los políticos y el mercadeo ritualizan las tradiciones; el humor con que las historietas y los graffiti registran los cruces interculturales generados por las migraciones masivas y las nuevas tecnologías. Para entender estas culturas híbridas, el autor propone la utilización combinada de las disciplinas que las analizan por separado: la antropología con la sociología, la historia del arte y los estudios comunicacionales.
