Book Description
"In 1951, Doäna Natalia Barraza opened the Nayarit, a Mexican restaurant in Echo Park, Los Angeles. With A Place at the Nayarit, historian Natalia Molina traces the life s work of her grandmother, remembered by all who knew her as Doäna Natalia--a generous, reserved, and extraordinarily capable woman. Doäna Natalia immigrated alone from Mexico to L.A., adopted two children, and ran a successful business. She also sponsored, housed, and employed dozens of other immigrants, encouraging them to lay claim to a city long characterized by anti-Latinx racism. Together, the employees and customers of the Nayarit maintained ties to their old homes while providing one another safety and support."--

Book Description
El texto que usted tiene en las manos es el resultado de 10 aos consecutivos de estudio, observacin e interaccin con seres humanos que nacieron en un lugar, y por una u otra razn emigraron a otro. La migracin dentro de un territorio nacional implica elementos de empoderamiento; sin embargo, el enfoque est puesto en los movimientos migratorios internacionales. El objetivo central es contribuir al anlisis de la migracin internacional planteando un marco de anlisis terico-metodolgico denominado empoderamiento transnacional de los migrantes internacionales. Fluyen aportaciones previas sobre transnacionalismo, empoderamiento y redes sociales transnacionales para insertar esta propuesta de anlisis a los procesos migratorios internacionales. La autenticidad del anlisis est identificada por un proceso de empoderamiento humano desde el individuo a diferencia de los programas de empoderamiento desde afuera que han sido ejecutados por agencias y organismos internacionales de desarrollo humano. Incluye dinmicas regionales con efectos mltiples en las sociedades emisoras y receptoras de migrantes internacionales, con nfasis especial al proceso histrico de la emigracin mexicana hacia EUA y la construccin de relaciones de poder transnacional. Finalmente los movimientos humanos internacionales continan; y eso no significa que los efectos se mantendrn estticos. El marco general de anlisis son los migrantes mexicanos y sus organizaciones en el sur de California. Sin embargo, encontrarn el caso de estudio emprico de los migrantes nayaritas y sus organizaciones. A partir de este modelo de anlisis, encontr cuatro premisas que se describen a lo largo del contenido: a) los migrantes mexicanos tuvieron su primer nivel de empoderamiento transnacional en los lugares de origen; b) de acuerdo a los supuestos del modelo, existe una selectividad de los migrantes internacionales ya que desde esta perspectiva no son los ms pobres de la tierra los que emigran; c) La segunda y tercera etapas del proceso de empoderamiento transnacional en los lugares de destino estn enfticamente marcadas en lo individual/familiar; y en lo colectivo a travs de las organizaciones de migrantes; d) y de la misma forma, qued totalmente convencido que la participacin del Estado mexicano ha contribuido al fortalecimiento colectivo de los migrantes y sus organizaciones, a lo que he denominado empoderamiento transnacional a la inversa. Las cuatro etapas concluyo, se encuentran intrnsecamente relacionadas con las redes sociales de origen (Mxico) ya establecidas y re-funcionalizadas en los lugares de destino (EUA) con actividades transnacionales mltiples en ambos pases.

Book Description
Over the last decade, a new phenomenon has emerged within the international community: the Global Remittances Trend (GRT). Thereby, government institutions, international (financial) organisations, NGOs and private sector actors have become interested in migration and remittances and their potential for poverty reduction and development, and have started to devise institutions and policies to harness this potential. This book employs a gender-sensitive governmentality analysis to trace the emergence of the GRT, to map its conceptual and institutional elements, and to examine its broader implications. Through an analysis of the GRT at the international level, combined with an in-depth case study on Mexico, this book demonstrates that the GRT is instrumental in spreading and deepening specific forms of gendered neoliberal governmentality. This innovative book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, international relations, sociology, development studies, economics, gender studies and Latin American studies.

Book Description
Exploring the performance by immigrants of domestic and care work in European households, this book places the employer centre-stage, examining the role of the employer and his or her agents in securing the balance between work, family and welfare needs, as well as investigating both who the employers are and the nature of their relationships with migrant workers. With attention to the dynamics of inequality, as class, ethnicity and gender become intertwined in a location that is at once home and workplace, this volume is organised into sections that deal with the subjectivities of employers and their relationships with their employees in the home; the re-organisation of welfare and care arrangements at state level; and the wider area of migrant domestic and care work, with the transformation of the au pair scheme. Bringing together the latest empirical work from across Europe, Employers, Agencies and Immigration will appeal to social scientists with interests in migration, ethnic and class relations, immigrant labour and domestic work and the sociology of the family.

Book Description
The sociology of Latin America, established in the region over the past eighty years, is a thriving field whose major contributions include dependence theory, world-systems theory, and historical debates on economic development, among others. The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Latin America provides research essays that introduce the readers to the discipline's key areas and current trends, specifically with regard to contemporary sociology in Latin America, as well as a collection of innovative empirical studies deploying a variety of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The essays in the Handbook are arranged in eight research subfields in which scholars are currently making significant theoretical and methodological contributions: Sociology of the State, Social Inequalities, Sociology of Religion, Collective Action and Social Movements, Sociology of Migration, Sociology of Gender, Medical Sociology, and Sociology of Violence and Insecurity. Due to the deterioration of social and economic conditions, as well as recent disruptions to an already tense political environment, these have become some of the most productive and important fields in Latin American sociology. This roiling sociopolitical atmosphere also generates new and innovative expressions of protest and survival, which are being explored by sociologists across different continents today. The essays included in this collection offer a map to and a thematic articulation of central sociological debates that make it a critical resource for those scholars and students eager to understand contemporary sociology in Latin America.

Book Description
Intersectionality can be used to analyse whether migration leads to changes in gender relations. This book finds out how migrants from a peri-urban neighbourhood on the outskirts of Cochabamba, Bolivia, make sense of the migration journeys they have undertaken. Migration is intrinsically related to social transformation. Through life stories and community surveys, the author explores how gender, class, and ethnicity intersect in people’s attempts to make the most of the opportunities presented to them in distant labour markets. While aiming to improve their economic and material conditions, migrants have created a new transnational community that has undergone significant changes in the ways in which gender relations are organised. Women went from being mainly housewives to taking on the role of the family’s breadwinner in a matter of just one decade. This book asks and addresses important questions such as: what does this mean for gender equality and women’s empowerment? Can we talk of migration being emancipatory? Does intersectionality shed light in the analysis of everyday social transformations in contexts of transnational migrations? This book will be useful to researchers and students of human geography, development studies and Latin America area studies.

Book Description
El propósito de este libro es analizar los factores que han llevado a un éxodo masivo de colombianos y las implicaciones para la sociedad. Se trata de ver si los colombianos logran insertarse en el país de acogida y el tipo de vínculos que desarrollan con su patria. Además, pretende mostrar que pocas veces se cumplen las promesas suscitadas por un nuevo El Dorado, bien sea que este se busque en América del Norte, en Europa o en otras partes del mundo: después de las ilusiones viene el tiempo de las dudas y las decepciones. Por supuesto, historias de éxito también existen. Los cerebros fugados encuentran oportunidades que no tenían en Colombia; los trabajadores clandestinos saben que sus sacrificios significan mejor futuro para sus hijos; los asilados políticos hallan la paz y la libertad de expresión negadas en su tierra natal. Sin embargo ¿contribuye la diáspora al desarrollo socioeconómico? ¿O la emigración sólo constituye una válvula de escape que le permite al gobierno librarse de sus responsabilidades en materia de desempleo y pobreza? Para responder a estas preguntas, el libro está organizado en diez capítulos escritos por especialistas en el tema. Las problemáticas abordadas corresponden a diferentes disciplinas de las ciencias sociales: economía, sociología, antropología, derecho, entre otras. Pero todas apuntan a un solo objetivo: aportar elementos de comprensión al fenómeno migratorio colombiano.

Book Description
Mobilities within the European Union (EU) have changed significantly since the classical intra-regional migrations of the 1950s–1970s. After a period of reduced, less visible flows in the 21st century mobilities increased again, first linked to EU expansion towards the East, and from 2008, with renewed South-North flows following the impact of the Great Recession on Southern European countries. It is in this context that the current volume explores how these recent migrations reflect new and more complex patterns of mobility, increasingly uncertain and unstable, involving both natives and naturalised migrants. It also seeks to unpack the multiple connections between these new migration systems and other systems affecting social protection, gender and citizenship, and how these intersect with other factors such as class, age, race and ethnicity. The different chapters of the book examine this covering a wide variety of cases, including intra-EU flows from Portugal and Spain, recent Spanish and Latin American migrants in London, Paris and Brussels, and Romanian migration to the UK and France, thus adding to its richness. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students of Sociology, Anthropology, Geography, Gender Studies, Public Policy, and Politics. It was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Book Description
This volume aims to unpack the uneasy relationship between utopia and rural spaces in the context of global pressures. The ethnographies presented here offer a rich array of examples combining rural spaces, utopian representations, and neoliberal practices. In attempting to reconcile the desire to preserve the traditional image of rural landscapes in the context of neoliberal practices that threaten the ideal of a rural utopia, imaginaries appear as powerful devices for understanding the world and motivating action.
