Tracing the survival strategies of migrants during the journey to the North, The Migrant Passage shows how their mobility reshapes the social landscape of Mexico, and the book explores the implications for the future of sovereignty and the nation-state. To trace the continuous renewal of the transit corridor, Noelle Brigden draws upon over two years of in-depth, multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork along human smuggling routes from Central America across Mexico and into the United States.

1963, North London. Nan fosters one-year-old Florence Olajide and calls her "Ann". Florence adores her foster mother more than anything but Nan, and the children around her, all have white skin, and she can’t help but feel different. Then, four years later, after a weekend visit to her birth parents, Florence never returns to Nan. Two months after, sandwiched between her mother and father plus her three siblings, six-year-old Florence steps off a ship in Lagos to the fierce heat of the African sun.

In the most impoverished neighborhood in New York City, the South Bronx, I help students that dropped out of high school achieve their goal and receive a high school diploma. The reason that I feel like I am in the right place for my job is because just like these "lost" students, I was going through a tough transition myself as I left my impoverished third-world country for a better opportunity. The toughest students are sometimes the best ones. I decided to publish this book to show that in each of one there is hope for a better future.

Hands up! Who wants to be a refugee? I certainly did not! My mother had other ideas. For a fateful moment, the iron fist of oppression eased its grip. This was all she needed. We crossed two borders. The physical barrier was easy. The culture gap was harder to bridge. This story is about human foolishness, selfishness, and frailty. Yet, above all, the enduring courage of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times.

Emigrar a los Estados Unidos y convertirse en un residente permanente puede ser confuso y puede demandar mucho tiempo. Y para víctimas de maltrato en particular, esto puede parecer un sueño imposible de alcanzar. Sin embargo, existe una esperanza para los inmigrantes: una Visa Humanitaria. En el libro Inmigración Honestamente, la abogada de inmigración Erika Cisneros comparte historias de personas que, al igual que tú, no sabían que el maltrato personal y laboral que recibían cumplía con los requisitos necesarios para obtener una Visa Humanitaria.

Cuando Helena Maleno llegó a Marruecos en 2002 con su hijo, dos maletas y un proyecto laboral de tres meses no podía imaginar hasta qué punto aquel país y la lucha por los derechos de las poblaciones migrantes que lo atravesaban transformarían su vida para siempre. Ya instalada en Tánger de forma definitiva, Helena se adentró en los asentamientos provisionales de los bosques que rodean Ceuta y Melilla y empezó a denunciar sin descanso las violaciones de derechos de aquellos que buscan cruzar, por tierra o por mar, una frontera que les permita alcanzar Europa.

Out of all the issues we face in the United States, there are few as divisive as illegal immigration. This topic has intimidated politicians, created racial rifts among our communities, and has left us just as divided as we were during the Civil War. And that divide is growing. This collection of short but true stories illuminates the horrors faced along the border. As a former border patrol agent in Nogales, Arizona, and a missionary in Mexico, Marcus T. Livy has literally lived on both sides of the fence and on the topic of immigration.

Losing Control is a vivid history of the past half century of immigration politics and policy. It is also a dramatic ground-level account of how the story took shape. Kammer describes the economic and cultural forces that both pushed millions of migrants from home communities in Latin America and pulled them northward to the US. He shows how the backlash gradually emerged from the frustrations of American workers and communities who felt overwhelmed by the influx and betrayed by their government.

¿A que venimos los latinos a estados unidos? A tener una mejor vida y mejores oportunidades que en nuestros países de origen, solo que a veces no sabemos cómo continuar, cómo dar el siguiente paso.

Armed authorities watch from a military-grade surveillance tower as lines of people stream toward the security checkpoint, tickets in hand, anxious and excited to get through the gate. Few seem to notice or care that the US Border Patrol is monitoring the Super Bowl, as they have for years, one of the many ways that forces created to police the borders are now being used, in an increasingly militarized fashion, to survey and monitor the whole of American society. In fast-paced prose, Todd Miller sounds an alarm as he chronicles the changing landscape.

As global warming accelerates, droughts last longer, floods rise higher, and super-storms become more frequent. With increasing numbers of people on the move as a result, the business of containing them - border fortification - is booming. In Storming the Wall, Todd Miller travels around the world to connect the dots between climate-ravaged communities, the corporations cashing in on border militarization, and emerging movements for environmental justice and sustainability.

From Europe to the United States, opportunistic politicians have exploited the economic crisis, terrorist attacks, and an unprecedented influx of refugees to bring hateful and reactionary views from the margins of political discourse into the mainstream. They have won the votes of workers, women, gays, and Jews; turned openly xenophobic ideas into state policy; and pulled besieged centrist parties to the right. How did we get here?

Este libro trata de la inmigración masiva, la violencia sexual y los derechos de las mujeres en Europa. Trata de un fracaso colosal por parte de la clase dirigente europea. Y trata de las soluciones al problema, de las falsas y de las reales. En los últimos años, el debate en torno a la inmigración, la integración y el islam en Europa se ha intensificado en respuesta a los atentados terroristas, a la prédica de un islam radical en algunas mezquitas y centros de culto, al resurgimiento de partidos populistas y de extrema derecha....

Der Kampf gegen den Rassismus ist eine Menschheitsaufgabe. Hamed Abdel-Samad hat Rassismus erlebt: In Ägypten wurde er als hellhäutiger Kreuzritterbastard denunziert, in Deutschland ist seine Haut manchen zu dunkel, sein Name anderen zu muslimisch. Dieses erfahrungssatte Buch ist kein Bericht der Betroffenheit. Es ist die Analyse eines durch Globalisierung, Migration und Vorfälle in den USA auch hierzulande angeheizten Themas.

An den europäischen Außengrenzen werden vielfach Menschenrechte gebrochen. Geflüchtete werden ohne Zugang zu Asylverfahren zurückgewiesen, eingesperrt, auf dem Meer ausgesetzt und misshandelt. Erik Marquardt sitzt für die Grünen im EU-Parlament und war in den letzten Jahren immer wieder auf der Balkanroute, auf Lesbos und bei der Seenotrettung auf dem Mittelmeer. In seinem Buch macht er die Diskrepanz zwischen dem europäischen Bekenntnis zu Menschenrechten und -würde und der Wirklichkeit vor Ort deutlich.

Hasnain Kazim ist nicht nur Journalist und Bestsellerautor, vor einigen Jahren hat er sich auch eine zweite Identität zugelegt - als Kalif. Das war seine nicht ganz ernst gemeinte Antwort auf die permanenten Ängste von Menschen vor einer "Islamisierung des Abendlandes" und auf Dauervorwürfe von Rechtsextremisten, er sei in Wahrheit ein "Islamist", der "Deutschland islamisieren" wolle.

Nella ricostruzione di Gian Antonio Stella, ricca di fatti, personaggi, aneddoti, documenti, storie ignote o sconvolgenti, compare l'altra faccia della grande emigrazione italiana. Quella che meglio dovremmo conoscere proprio per capire, rispettare e amare ancora di più i nostri nonni, padri, madri e sorelle che partirono. Quella che abbiamo rimosso per ricordare solo gli "zii d'America" arricchiti e vincenti.

"Eliminare il razzismo non vuol dire mostrare e convincersi che gli Altri non sono diversi da noi, ma comprendere e accettare la loro diversità." Dopo "Il fascismo eterno", una nuova illuminante riflessione civile, contro ogni pregiudizio e intolleranza.

"Ein Mann, der uns mit einem radikal anderen Blick auf die Welt zum Nachdenken zwingt", urteilt Bundespräsident Steinmeier über den Denker aus Singapur. Diesen anderen, neuen Blick stellt Parag Khanna in "Move" eindrucksvoll unter Beweis. Er bringt Geschichte, Politik und die natürlichen Lebensbedingungen des Menschen, die sich gerade rasant verändern, zusammen und leitet daraus Voraussagen für die Zukunft ab. Seine Grundthese: Die Menschheit wird sich in den nächsten Jahrzehnten neu auf der Erde verteilen (müssen).
