Book Description
An introduction to the concept of “migration stigma,” along with new analytical frameworks to deepen understanding of the experiences of immigrants, their descendants, and native-born residents in immigrant-receiving societies. Due to economic crises, sociopolitical instability, and climate change, international migration is likely to persist if not increase in the future. Meanwhile, struggles to secure widespread acceptance of immigrant populations are evident worldwide. This volume, edited by Lawrence Yang, Maureen Eger, and Bruce Link, introduces the concept of “migration stigma” and proposes new ways to understand the complex challenges facing immigrants, their descendants, and contemporary societies. Contributions reveal how migration stigma affects areas such as health, financial well-being, and social cohesion; analyze the multilevel and temporal processes underlying migration stigma; and propose social, economic, and policy frameworks to address its harmful consequences.

Book Description
This book provides an overview of recent trends in the management of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorders that may ensue from distressing experiences associated with the process of migration. Although the symptoms induced by trauma are common to all cultures, their specific meaning and the strategies used to deal with them may be culture-specific. Consequently, cultural factors can play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with psychological reactions to extreme stress. This role is examined in detail, with an emphasis on the need for therapists to bear in mind that different cultures often have different concepts of health and disease and that cross-cultural communication is therefore essential in ensuring effective care of the immigrant patient. The therapist’s own intercultural skills are highlighted as being an important factor in the success of any treatment and specific care contexts and the global perspective are also discussed.

Book Description
This book examines the experience of the Mariel migrants from their departure from Cuba to their arrival, resettlement and adaptation in the United States. It fills in a gap in the literature dealing with their internment experiences in the U.S. and explores the political factors bearing on the stigmatizing of the Marielitos as a pathological group

Book Description
This open access book discusses Rotterdam as clear example of a superdiverse city that is only reluctantly coming to terms with this new reality. Rotterdam, as is true for many post-industrial cities, has seen a considerable backlash against migration and diversity: the populist party Leefbaar Rotterdam of the late Pim Fortuyn is already for many years the largest party in the city. At the same time Rotterdam has become a majority minority city where the people of Dutch descent have become a numerical minority themselves. The book explores how Rotterdam is coming to terms with superdiversity, by an analysis of its migration history of the city, the composition of the migrant population and the Dutch working class population, local politics and by a comparison with Amsterdam and other cities. As such it contributes to a better understanding not just of how and why super-diverse cities emerge but also how and why the reaction to a super-diverse reality can be so different. By focusing on different aspects of superdiversity, coming from different angles and various disciplinary backgrounds, this book will be of interest to students and scholars in migration, policy sciences, urban studies and urban sociology, as well as policymakers and the broader public.

Book Description
International migration in the early 21st century reflects a period of rapid globalization and social transformation-where immigrant-sending and receiving societies are undergoing demographic, social, economic and political change. Social scientists seek to understand migration as a process of social transformation by exploring the macro-, micro- and meso-level implications of human socio-spatial mobility. Accordingly, migration researchers reveal the many ways in which organizations help facilitate processes of migration, immigrant incorporation and migrants' transnational engagement with their homelands. However, existing literature suffers from three limitations. First, previous research tends to overemphasize state-centered migration/immigration policies-thereby overlooking the ways in which community characteristics, historical contexts and processes of stigmatization affect immigrant communities and their organizational infrastructures. Second, existing literature on migrant organizations does not analyze how environmental contexts affect the experiences, strategies or actions of migrant organizations. Third, there is little comparative research analyzing how the global "war on terror" affects organizations serving or representing immigrant communities from Muslim-majority countries. Using the case of Pakistani migrant non-profit organizations in London, Toronto and New York City, this dissertation research analyzes how a variety of contextual factors shape the composition, programmatic domain, geographic scope of action, experiences and strategies of Pakistani migrant non-profit organizations in three different places of settlement. The dissertation is organized and presented as a set of three stand-alone empirical chapters with separate literature reviews, methodology sections, findings and discussions. Data come from a mixed-methods comparative multi-site research design. The first chapter offers a brief introduction to the overall dissertation and an overview of the three empirical chapters. The second chapter examines how official multiculturalism policies in Canada and neo-assimilation in the United States shape the size, programmatic domain and geographic scope of Pakistani migrant organizations in Toronto and New York City. The third chapter explores how post-colonial and non-colonial historical contexts shape the organizational capacity and transnational orientation of Pakistani organizations in London and New York City. The fourth and final chapter examines how Pakistani migrant organizations experience and respond to organizational stigma associated with the global "war on terror". Together, these three empirical chapters reveal the ways in which local, national and global contextual factors shape the composition and experiences of a single migrant group0́9s organizational infrastructure across three different environments. In doing so, findings from this research generate a dialogue between the fields of international migration, race/ethnicity and organization studies.

Book Description
The primary objective of this quantitative study was to delve into the mental health help-seeking attitudes of 26-57 year-old international migrants living in the U.S. and experiencing psychological distress, and comparing their experiences with U.S. citizens, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus was on examining the dynamics between stigma, acculturation, and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on help-seeking attitudes, in order to illuminate the challenges faced by international migrants and U.S. citizens in accessing mental health services. Key findings revealed a significant negative relationship between stigma and help-seeking attitudes, with the influence being more pronounced for international migrants. Acculturation was identified as a significant moderating factor. Alignment with U.S. culture mitigated the adverse effects of stigma, whereas a strong affiliation with one's native culture intensified it. In the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, while the stigma persisted as a barrier to seeking help, the moderation effect of pandemic-induced distress was minor, suggesting that increased distress does not necessarily drive individuals to overcome stigma's barriers. Furthermore, a detailed text analysis of participants' comments highlighted several challenges during the pandemic, including a pronounced sense of racial discrimination among international migrants. Amid the vast global disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the results of this study serve as an important reminder of the intricate intersections of mental health, cultural identity, and barriers for help-seeking. Implications span from acknowledging stigma as a pivotal barrier to mental health help-seeking to the pressing need for culturally sensitive interventions. The research advocates for comprehensive, culturally attuned, and stigma-aware strategies, emphasizing the crucial role of policy frameworks, intervention designs, and ongoing research in bolstering mental health support across diverse populations during challenging times.
