Book Description
Forced Migration: Law and Policy includes materials on asylum, refugees, the Convention Against Torture, temporary protection schemes, and a variety of related topics. The principal focus is U.S. law and policy, but the authors have leavened the mix with comparative materials from a variety of countries. This new casebook is based on the chapter on refugees and asylum in the Immigration and Citizenship casebook that three of the authors have co-authored for some time. They have welcomed Maryellen Fullerton to their ranks for this project (and for the next edition of the Immigration and Citizenship casebook as well), and the four authors have drawn on that chapter for the Forced Migration volume. But as the title suggests, this new casebook not only significantly reorganizes and expands that material, but also reflects the authors effort to rethink the evolving conceptual architecture of this field. The book is designed for use in a three-hour law school course, but with judicious paring can be readily used for a two-hour course or as the foundation of a seminar.

Book Description
Si en "Breve historia de las migraciones", publicada en esta misma colección, Massimo Livi Bacci hace un recorrido por el desarrollo de este fenómeno consustancial a la especie humana a lo largo de la historia, en "Por tierras y mares: Quince migraciones de la antigüedad a nuestros días" desciende a la narración pormenorizada de los hechos. Clasificadas según el grado de libertad individual que ha presidido la elección del desplazamiento (desde la ausencia absoluta que caracterizó, por ejemplo, los movimientos en la URSS durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a la más o menos libertad plena con que se pudo realizar el desplazamiento a través del Atlántico hacia el continente americano durante los siglos XIX y XX), el autor describe en estas páginas quince casos concretos que afectaron al mundo "occidental" -Europa y América- desde la antigüedad a nuestros días. Susceptibles de acabar en desastre o de culminar con éxito, refractarias a generalizaciones, paradigmas o modelos, las migraciones son fenómenos físicos y sociales, así como hechos políticos, que dejan de forma invariable su impronta en la historia.

Book Description
This groundbreaking book presents a global perspective on the history of forced migration over three centuries and illuminates the centrality of these vast movements of people in the making of the modern world. Highly original essays from renowned international scholars trace the history of slaves, indentured servants, transported convicts, bonded soldiers, trafficked women, and coolie and Kanaka labor across the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans. They depict the cruelty of the captivity, torture, terror, and death involved in the shipping of human cargo over the waterways of the world, which continues unabated to this day. At the same time, these essays highlight the forms of resistance and cultural creativity that have emerged from this violent history. Together, the essays accomplish what no single author could provide: a truly global context for understanding the experience of men, women, and children forced into the violent and alienating experience of bonded labor in a strange new world. This pioneering volume also begins to chart a new role of the sea as a key site where history is made.

Book Description
At the turn of the new millenium, war, political oppression, desperate poverty, environmental degradation and disasters, and economic underdevelopment are sharply increasing the ranks of the world's twenty million forced migrants. In this volume, eighteen scholars provide a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary look beyond the statistics at the experiences of the women, men, girls, and boys who comprise this global flow, and at the highly gendered forces that frame and affect them. In theorizing gender and forced migration, these authors present a set of descriptively rich, gendered case studies drawn from around the world on topics ranging from international human rights, to the culture of aid, to the complex ways in which women and men envision displacement and resettlement.
