▼ In context of increasing global
migration and its correlation to heightened tensions around the meaning of a "foreign" body, this research questions the experiences of bodies crossing borders into the social and historical space of Cape Town, South Africa. Grounded in theories of surveillance, embodiment, and feminist geography of fear of crime, the study employed a feminist methodology using qualitative group interviews with international students from the Southern African Development Community at the University of Cape Town. The transcribed data was analysed through the participants' use of discourses and their descriptions of experiences. Questions arose around the meaning of surveillance and notions of respectability in transition. Furthermore, participants navigate amid new spaces of fear and insecurity in relation to their subjectivities, particularly as "foreigners". The research suggests that fear becomes a fundamental attribute of bodies in
migration through which individuals mitigate through "passing" subverting expressions of embodied nationalities, knowledge gathering of the local terrain, among others. The challenges and techniques to overcome these fears become part of a process to re-establish the "self" in a foreign context.

▼ Many South Sudanese refugees who have resettled in the USA have actively sought to maintain their unique cultural identity while simultaneously working to integrate into American society through the pursuit of formal higher education and successful careers. One of the most interesting developments within this population is the establishment and maintenance of transna- tional families. The process for marriage is economically tiresome and, due to strict immigration policies, often compels family members to live transnational lives. Systems of transnational mar- riage—often arranged by families—and married life allow Sudanese refugees living in the USA to continue important cultural practices, speak their native languages within their homes and communities, and to create Sudanese families. Despite the economic strain these efforts have on the relationships between husbands and wives, they can be culturally empowering to members of this community and their families that live elsewhere in the world. Even decades after resettle- ment in the USA, their ties to their homeland and to their people still remain top priorities in their lives. Efforts of resettlement and the attempts to continue cultural and social ties to their homeland despite time and distance are altering the role of family in Sudanese culture and the continuation of traditional cultural practices. The goals of this research are to describe and ana- lyze the practice of transnational marriage and to examine the extent that resettlement in the USA is changing the structured gender roles in South Sudanese communities.

▼ This research paper traces the methods, modes and networks that young Somali men between the ages of 25-30 have used in order to migrate, gain entry and seek asylum in Toronto, Canada from Somalia. This thesis goes further to analyze the ways in which this group of young men seek to carve out a livelihood once they arrive in Canada. Using in depth interviews with a group of 9 young men in the Toronto area, I explore how legal status, statelessness, race and gender norms, clan affiliations and masculine kinship obligations intersect to produce a particular migratory and settlement experience for these young men. Furthermore, I suggest that these networks do not just structure the migration experience for this group of young men but they play an important role in shaping these men’s access to work and ability to survive once they arrive in Canada.

Contesting Koreanness: Migration as a challenge to the ethnic identity of the Korean Chinese.

▼ After China and South Korea established diplomatic ties in 1992, over 400,000 ethnic Korean Chinese migrated to South Korea for work or marriage. But despite their common Korean ancestry, both populations have changed in sixty years of separation. Contested definitions of Korean identity resulted. This thesis explores the complex situation of the Korean Chinese within China, their place in South Korean immigration policy, and their eventual reorientation away from South Korea. The problems experienced by migrant and host populations grew from a simplistic notion of ethnicity as shared racial and cultural background. In fact ethnicity is the complex, variable, and manipulable result of long histories experienced in specific places. Understanding ethnic identity requires consideration of territorially-defined group membership and state-sponsored attempts to claim space. Specifically addressing minority groups in China, but relevant to all multinational states, I argue for a contextualized approach to examining changes and conflicts in group identities.

Multinational Maids: Multistate Migration among Aspiring Filipino Migrant Domestic Workers.

▼ This dissertation examines multistate
migration, an emerging pattern of
migration adopted by capital-constrained migrants who are unable to gain entry into their preferred destination (often in the West) on their first attempt to leave their homeland. This
migration pattern involves lengthy stays lasting at least a year in various “stepping stone” destinations where migrants accumulate additional capital (financial, human, cultural and social) that is then leveraged to secure access to countries higher up their personal destination hierarchy. Multistate
migration can be intentionally planned out from the outset (“stepwise migration”) or it can be more organic (“onward migration”) but, in all cases, such trajectories are marked by dynamic fluidity. Through in-depth interviews with 160 Filipino migrant domestic workers (26 in the Philippines, 28 in Hong Kong, 41 in Singapore, 21 in the US and 44 in Canada), and an analysis of migrant domestic worker policies and praxis in six major markets for Filipino domestic workers (Hong Kong, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, Canada) and the US, this dissertation develops a theoretical model of multistage
migration.
Overall, 42% of participants in Singapore, 50% in Hong Kong and 82% in Canada were multistate migrants, highlighting the positive relationship between increasingly strict entry barriers to different destinations and the adoption of multistate
migration. Other macro-level factors behind the emergence of multistate
migration include the development of a transnational labor market for migrant domestic workers, the ongoing economic malaise of the Philippines and the culture of
migration that has developed in that country. At the meso-level, overseas migrant networks encourage the adoption of multistate
migration both by the sharing of advice on the benefits of incremental
migration to a preferred country, but also by the non-/partial provision of
migration assistance. So does the for-profit
migration industry that makes direct
migration to preferred destinations too expensive for most migrants. Finally, at the micro-level, the ability to engage in multistate
migration up their destination hierarchy is a function, not only of migrants’ initial degree of access to capital, but also their agentic ability to accumulate new capital while overseas.

▼ This paper explores the setting up of the partnership across the
Mauritian and South African higher education contexts with respect to the development of a postgraduate PhD doctoral studies programme. The Mauritian Institute of Education (MIE) aims to develop staffing capacities through engagement with doctoral studies, especially in the context of limited experience in doctoral supervision. The South African model of doctoral cohort supervision at The University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) School of Education is a recent alternative model of delivery in the building of these student and staff capacities through shared ownership of the process and products of doctoral education and development. This paper highlights the expectations, constraints and enabling features of the setting up of the UKZN-MIE PhD programme across international boundaries, driven by mutual reciprocity through valuing of indigenous local knowledges, a non-colonising engagement and innovative methodologies for postgraduate education. Adapting the
UKZN cohort model for the international context is the subject of this paper. The paper draws on the experiences of the designers and deliverers as well as users of this programme. The paper explores what drives this form of international collaboration for both contracting partners in the context of shifting conceptions of a teacher education institution.

▼ Over the last two decades,
migration to Chile has increased dramatically. This "new
migration" (Martínez 2003) marks a demographic shift away from largely Europeans and Argentineans to the current arrival of migrants from Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. As in other Latin American nations, previous migratory waves to Chile were often associated with racial improvement via blanquemiento, or whitening, a deliberate move away from bodily, material, and cultural markers of indigeneity. While Chile and these neighboring countries share a common language, history of Spanish colonization, dominant religion, and some cultural traditions, the current arrival of Latin American migrants has prompted emphatic delineation of racial difference. In analyzing current discourses addressing
migration, I argue that the new Latin American migratory flow is always understood in the context of historic migrations from Europe. As Latin American migrants settle in Chile, racialization - the practice of making racial distinctions and pairing these distinctions with an accompanying racial hierarchy - profoundly shapes migrant experiences. I argue that migrant racialization emphasizes both the creation of racial others as well as the assertion of a Chilean national sameness. Indeed, this new migratory flow prompts the construction, contestation, and negotiation of Chile's own national racial identity - one that is produced in constant awareness of global racial understandings. My research extends work on migrant racialization by exploring the recurring tension between racial distinction and national self-presentation through three examples: understandings and experiences of migrant domestic labor, migrant use of public space, and the consumption of Peruvian food. Throughout these examples, I chart the ongoing production of migrant visibility and how the discourses, practices, and processes involved illustrate the shifting terrain of Chilean racial understandings.

▼ When the United Nations defined the word “refugee” at the 1951 Convention on Refugees, the concept of asylum was very different then it is in the modern day. Although new technology has made it easier than ever for people to move around the world and refugee numbers have climbed to over 25 million<a title="">[1]</a>in recent years, the central question remains the same: who receives international protection from persecution? Although many national and international protections have been put in place to help vulnerable migrant groups, the changing and ever-expanding landscape of
migration has caused a protection gap between these modern asylum seekers and the documents historically written for their protection. This gap is the result of a gradual shift in who receives asylum, occurring at both the international and national level. It is caused by the expansion of national policy regarding asylum and the language used by organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR) in policies which address refugees and asylum seekers. Using a variety of case
studies, I argue that although the core definition of refugee has remained relatively unchanged since the document’s inception, it has failed to protect modern asylum seekers in a complete and effective way because of subtle and gradual shifts in the interpretation of the document and the emergence of restrictions on who receives asylum at a national level. I support this argument by tracking the way that the definition of refugee has been interpreted in recent history in order to better accommodate rising flows of asylum seekers and to support the motivations of national state actors. I further argue that this is negatively impacting the level of protection that refugees receive.

▼ This dissertation is about the racialization of immigration in Barbados. Between 2008 and 2010, the topic of immigration generated a heated debate in Barbados. The so-called ‘immigration problem’ resulted from increasing numbers of undocumented immigrants coming from neighboring Caribbean countries, especially from Guyana. The debates about the undocumented immigrants problematize them in ways that focus on their race, suggesting that the problem is not so much, or not only, their undocumented status, but more so their race. This becomes more apparent when Indian Guyanese are singled out as being unsuitable and unwelcome immigrants while similar sentiments about Black Guyanese are not as strong, or altogether absent. This problem is particularly significant because it occurs at the critical juncture when Caribbean countries are implementing a regional integration strategy, the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), which would permit the free movement of labor between member states, and for all intents and purposes unify them. I use textual analysis of the immigration debates taking place on blogs, regional integration treaties and immigration policies for this dissertation. The analysis in this dissertation is informed by critical race
studies, Caribbean
studies and post-colonial
studies, and is written from a cultural
studies perspective that emphasizes contextualized research. The dissertation offers chapters on the responses to the immigrants as well as chapters that situate the work within the larger scope of the history of race relations in the Caribbean and regional integration. The dissertation makes the argument that colonial discourses of race have been employed to problematize and racialize the immigrants and to justify why they should be kept out of Barbados.

▼ In the past decade arguments concerning who can claim belonging in Australia, and fears surrounding border security, have been at the forefront of Australian political and media debates - particularly in relation to unauthorized asylum seekers arriving by boat. Previous literature focusing on these issues has suggested two key reasons for heightened anxieties over claims to belonging: 1) a growing awareness and recognition of the fact of Indigenous sovereignty and its challenge to the sovereignty of the white Australian nation-state and 2) the fact that refugees and asylum seekers seeking asylum in Australia also challenge the sovereignty of the Australian nation-state by highlighting the porous nature of borders and by challenging the ability of the Australian government to maintain control over a supposedly homogenous and ‘desirable’ population. Thus previous research has indicated that both Indigenous Australians and refugees and asylum seekers present fundamental challenges to the sovereignty of the Australian nation-state. Furthermore, it has been suggested that in response to these challenges the Australian nation has become increasingly invested in ensuring the control, regulation, and possibly exclusion of these two groups of people. In order to further examine the ways in which control and exclusion are perpetuated by white (i.e., dominant group) institutions in Australia, this thesis employs a critical discursive analytic approach to analyze the representation of Indigenous Australians and asylum seekers and refugees in the mainstream news media. More specifically, the analysis draws upon the work of Aileen Moreton-Robinson in relation to whiteness
studies, and Giorgio Agamben and his conceptualization of the state of exception, to examine the ‘techniques of exclusion’ available to the nation-state as it attempts to produce a particular concept of (white) belonging, and to justify border security policies. The analytic chapters examine mainstream news media representations of the claims made by Indigenous Australians to their land through the vehicle of native title, the representation of asylum seekers arriving by boat aboard the Oceanic Viking and the Jaya Lestari 5, the ongoing criminalization of Indigenous Australians in relation to the ‘Aurukun rape case’ and the ‘gang of 49’, and the coverage of refugees and crime in Australia in relation to issues surrounding refugees from Sudan in late 2007. Specifically, the findings indicate:
A persistent representation of Indigenous Australian claims to land solely in terms of economic discourses rather than as an issue of rights.
An ongoing representation of asylum seekers arriving by boat as inherently criminal, unlawful, non-genuine, and undesirable – representations that justify their exclusion from the nation.
A pervasive criminalization of Indigenous Australians and refugees, and a lack of contextual information provided by the mainstream news media in relation to issues of concern to these marginalized groups.
The thesis concludes by examining the…

Living Between Two Cultures: A Reproductive Health Journey

▼ Most studies on refugee populations tend to focus on
mental health issues and communicable diseases. Yet, reproductive
health remains a major aspect of refugee women's health needs.
African refugee women in the United States continue to experience
some difficulties in accessing reproductive health services despite
having health insurance coverage. The purpose of this study was to
understand the reproductive health journey of African refugee women
resettled in Phoenix, Arizona. This study also explored how African
refugee women's pre-migration and post-migration experiences affect
their relationships with health care providers. The study was
qualitative consisting of field observations at the Refugee Women's
Health Clinic (RWHC) in Phoenix, verbally administered demographic
questionnaires, and semi-structured one-on-one interviews with
twenty African refugee women (between the ages of 18 and 55) and
ten health care providers. The findings were divided into three
major categories: pre-migration and post migration experiences,
reproductive health experiences, and perspectives of health care
providers. The themes that emerged from these categories include
social isolation, living between two cultures, racial and religious
discrimination, language/interpretation issues and lack of
continuity of care. Postcolonial feminism, intersectionality, and
human rights provided the theoretical frameworks that helped me to
analyze the data that emerged from the interviews, questionnaire
and fieldnotes. The findings revealed some contrasts from the
refugee women's accounts and the accounts of health care providers.
While refugee women spoke from their own specific social location
leading to more nuanced perspectives, health care providers were
more uniform in their responses leading to a rethink of the concept
of cultural competency. As I argue in the dissertation and contrary
to conventional wisdom, culture per se does not necessarily
translate to resistance to the American health care system for many
African refugee women. Rather, their utilization (or lack thereof)
of health services are better conceived within a broader and
complex context that recognizes intersectional factors such as
gender, racialization, language, displacement, and class which have
a huge impact on the reproductive health seeking patterns of
refugee women.

▼ This paper explores the setting up of the partnership across the
Mauritian and South African higher education contexts with respect to
the development of a postgraduate PhD doctoral studies programme.
The Mauritian Institute of Education (MIE) aims to develop staffing
capacities through engagement with doctoral studies, especially in the
context of limited experience in doctoral supervision. The South African
model of doctoral cohort supervision at The University of KwaZulu-
Natal (UKZN) School of Education is a recent alternative model of
delivery in the building of these student and staff capacities through
shared ownership of the process and products of doctoral education and
development. This paper highlights the expectations, constraints and
enabling features of the setting up of the UKZN-MIE PhD programme
across international boundaries, driven by mutual reciprocity through
valuing of indigenous local knowledges, a non-colonising engagement
and innovative methodologies for postgraduate education. Adapting the
UKZN cohort model for the international context is the subject of this
paper. The paper draws on the experiences of the designers and deliverers
as well as users of this programme. The paper explores what drives
this form of international collaboration for both contracting partners in
the context of shifting conceptions of a teacher education institution.

▼ This dissertation examines public discourse on culture and integration and asks how do mediated public discussions about integration reproduce norms of national culture and identity that operate to represent and manage “Other” (immigrant, minority, etc.) populations in the German context? Through a case study approach, this dissertation uses critical discourse theory to analyze public campaigns, media events, and mediated controversies since the mid-2000s that sought to define the qualifications for cultural citizenship. Although in recent years an increasing number of publications have addressed Germany’s diverse and transnational population, examinations of processes and policies of integration have tended to focus either on the level of the government or on the level of everyday life. Although ideas about integration and multiculturalism are predominantly forged through events and the surrounding representations in the media, the mid-level processes of the media sphere have been neglected in scholarship. Using Foucault’s theories on biopolitics, I argue that integration discourse divides the population into normative nationals and candidates for integration, consisting of individuals with apparent immigrant heritage. This division sets up a neoliberal framework of perpetual evaluation that separates the productive from the threatening integration candidates while reinforcing normative foundations of Germanness. This dissertation includes three sections. The first outlines two major foundations of German national ideas: The Romantic nation represented by the idea of Heimat and the rational, Enlightenment notion of Germany as a bastion of Western values. This section examines the historical and theoretical underpinnings of these schemas of identity and the place of “new Germans” within them. The second section examines the construction of “the new Germany” in the first decade of the new millennium through the media’s celebration of immigrant patriots and the emergence of “soccer patriotism.” The three chapters in this section examine three different cases in the media that illuminate the relationship between patriotism and productivity and the role of diversity in this new national formation. The third section analyzes media events that construct boundaries separating integration successes from failures. These cases expose the continuities linking celebrations and condemnations of immigrants and new Germans.

▼ This study examines the lived realities of Haitian Americans residing in Miami, Florida. By drawing on theories of global capitalism, migration, transnationalism, and diaspora it explores how the experience of Haitian migrants living in the Miami community of Little Haiti offer insights as to whether transnational, diasporic communities are uniquely placed to become socially aware and political active within their diasporic communities . Most studies on Haitians in the United States focus on New York. However, those residing in the global city of Miami are a unique population of mostly working-class Haitians who, marginalized by U.S. politicians, the media, and migrant groups in Florida, are rendered precarious. Such experiences can push Haitian migrants to maintain transnational links and form diasporic communities in areas such as the ethnic enclave of Little Haiti.Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with Haitian volunteers and employees at the Little Haiti Community Support Center (LHCSC), in July 2014 I explored the lived experiences of politically engaged Haitian migrants residing in this diasporic community. From the interviews emerged a hybrid, at times ambivalent, diasporic political and cultural consciousness maintained through transnational forms of solidarity. Political consciousness developed in community and in strategic collaborations with other Black diasporic groups. Cultural consciousness functioned as a tool of empowerment and a medium for critiques of U.S. policies, aspects of Haitian culture, and gender norms. Activism solidified communities and families and cultivated new practices to pass on to the next generation. Using the LHCSC as an example of a transnational, politically active site of community, this paper explores how an ethnic community becomes unified as diaspora, and more socially and globally aware as a consequence of their migrant experience.

▼ This thesis explores the phenomenon of canonical revision by migrant and postcolonial writers in Spain and Italy. By recycling, rewriting or revising canonical works or film movements of the host countries in which they work, these writers call attention to Spain's and Italy's concerted attempts to perform a European identity. In doing so, they simultaneously challenge the literary categories into which they have been inserted, such as "migrant" or "Hispano-African" literatures. Rather, these writers illustrate that these categories, too, work in tandem with other forms of exclusion to buttress, rather than challenge, Spain and Italy's nationalist attempts to overcome their-"South-ness" and perform European-ness. The thesis consists of four chapters, each focusing on a different migrant writer. The first chapter examines how Amara Lakhous, an Algerian-Italian writer, models his novels after the film genre of the commedia all'italiana in order to make national and ethnic identity categories look like theater and spectacle. The second chapter analyzes how Najat el-Hachmi, a Catalan writer of Moroccan birth, rewrites a classic of Catalan literature (Mercé Rodoreda's The Time of the Doves) to challenge the oppositions between "immigrant" and "native," while also articulating a transnational, feminist critique of patriarchy. The third chapter
studies how Francisco Zamora Loboch, an Equatorial Guinean exile in Spain, re-interprets Don Quijote as an iconically anti-racist text. The fourth chapter
studies how Jadelin Mabiala Gangbo, a Congolese-Italian writer, recycles Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet in his novel Rometta e Giulieo in order to challenge the polarized dichotomy of "migrant" and "canonical" writing. My work both draws on and critiques several, interrelated fields of scholarship, including Southern European
studies, Afro-European
studies, Mediterranean
studies, migrant literary
studies, and postcolonial
studies, as well as criticism pertaining to specific canonical works these writers revisit in their works. In doing so, I hope to demonstrate that a critique of racism or xenophobia in contemporary Spain or Italy necessitates not only a critique of the Global South against Eurocentrism, but also a simultaneous critique of Europe's North-South divide.

▼ Queer Refugeeism examines how the “refugee” figure relates to Hmong American racial, gendered, and sexual formation, belonging, and politics in the U.S. Examining various discourses around gender and sexuality such as rape, abusive transnational marriages, polygamy, and underage marriages, Part I crafts out ideological formations of race, gender, and sexuality in Hmong American communities. Queer Refugeeism uses texts such as newspaper documents, Hmong American ethnic cultural productions, and legislative bills to explicate a discourse of hyperheterosexuality that renders Hmong American culture and Hmong Americans as racially, gendered, and sexually deviant subjects. Part II turns to the material as I weave in youth narratives and community activism with secondary sources to expound how queer Hmong American youths are intertwined within dominant and Hmong American cultural discourses regarding race, gender, and sexuality. I argue against essentialist framinings of culture that posit Hmong Americans as perpetual refugees incompatible with queer modernity while showcasing how queer Hmong American youths are remaking culture and belonging on their own terms. Overall, Queer Refugeeism tackles how race, gender, and sexuality are integral to Hmong American refugee and queer youth belonging within the U.S.

▼ Throughout the 1990s, war brought about a sudden passage to urban life for millions of Kurds. Pursuing a policy of counterinsurgency, the Turkish state evacuated around 4,000 villages and displaced more than two million rural Kurds in this period. Istanbul was already host to a sizeable Kurdish population that had come to the city for its economic potential, making it one of the primary destinations for the displaced. Today, Kurds make up seventeen per cent of contemporary Istanbul’s total population, corresponding to almost three million Kurds. This number makes Istanbul “the world’s largest Kurdish city,” as the saying goes among Kurdish migrants. Today, two thirds of the Kurdish population in Istanbul is comprised of the urban working class. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Kurds move each year between the Kurdish region and Turkish metropoles in search of temporary jobs and daily wage-labor.
My research shows how ethnic and social differences are recast through labor, as these differences mark migrant Kurdish men’s bodies, sexualities, life prospects, and senses of belonging in the city. The ways ethnicity intersects with religion, urban class identities, and gender constitute a central concern in my work. I analyze the factors shaping Kurdish
migration patterns and how those migratory patterns intersect with Turkey’s changing socio-political and economic landscape. My writing foregrounds how Kurdish migrant workers articulate and perform their ethical understandings of self, kinship relations, and rights in relation to their struggles for economic survival and social mobility—all this in the context of dramatic economic restructuring and the rise of political Islam in Turkey. The ethnic difference that marks Kurds as targets of political violence is made and remade through their introduction into the labor processes and class relations that fashion cosmopolitan urban spaces. Seen from this perspective, “Kurdishness” is not an essential ethnic or political identity, but rather an uncertain form of becoming that generates new ways of being as one’s relations to self and others, to one’s own body and to one’s community, and to labor are transformed through experiences of loss, struggle, and recovery.

▼ This dissertation draws on the stories of 34 Bangladeshi women who went to seven Middle Eastern countries, including United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon and Jordan, as temporary workers during 1995-2010. I interrogate their interactions with
migration brokers and employers and offer a complex understanding of their
migration journey. My understanding adds to the structural aspect of their
migration journey by highlighting the social context of rural Bangladesh from where these women migrate. I argue a nuanced view of these womens engagement with
migration brokers from their social and familial circles and their conduct with their employers in Middle East requires a critical consideration of Bangladeshi rural realities. Understanding their behaviour in terms of their rural origins leads to feminist insights into power attentive to social context. By linking a macro-structural lens of power to a feminist meso lens of power in this dissertation, I comprehend their situation with brokers and employers in a nuanced manner and complicate dominant ways of understanding their
migration journey. My approach bridges a feminist critical understanding of power relations and a macro-structural understanding of power relations between women and other institutional actors, including
migration brokers and employers in womens
migration journey. This study generates feminist knowledge by utilizing the methodological approach of Grounded Theory. From a feminist epistemological point of view, this knowledge is particularly important as it is generated by marginalized/ disenfranchised Bangladeshi women and uses their otherwise unappreciated perspectives as the basis of knowledge creation.

▼ This study investigates the development of post-WWII Italian
migration to Argentina, Belgium, Canada, and The U.S. and it frames this case-study within the broader discussion about he ways in which past population movements inform contemporary
migration, and how their study can help us make better sense of current immigration debates. Chapter 1 provides a narrative introduction of the position that postwar Italian
migration occupies in the overall history of Italy as a country of emigration between 1876 and 1976. Chapter 2 tackles the complex issue of periodizing
migration in world history, and argues that we need to rethink prevailing depictions of the years between 1946 and 1960 as a period of limited
migration. Chapter 3 provides a quantitative exploration of Italian
migration in the first and second era of globalization. Chapter 4 discusses the introduction of migratory regulations in the post-WWII period, with a focus on the emigration policy of the Italian government and the immigration policy of the Belgian government. Chapter 5 focuses on the nature and character of immigration policies in Canada and the United States after the Second World War and their impact on the development of the Italian flow. Chapter 6 discusses the Argentine case as an example of what
migration policies cannot explain. Chapter 7 traces the evolution of the Italian
migration "problem" from a national to an international concern in the context of the Cold War by focusing on two attempts at developing a system of international cooperation for
migration in the late 1940s and early 1950s: the NATO Working Group on Labor Mobility and the Intergovernmental Committee for European
Migration.

▼ En déclinant la sémantique du mot latin « medium », nous remarquons la présence de certaines caractéristiques de la littérature italienne rédigée par les auteures d’origine balkanique. La thèse qui s’intitule « Écrivaines italiennes de la migration balkanique », est un travail qui se sert d’outils propres, tant à la littérature et à la linguistique qu’à la géographie humaine. Le but de la thèse étant d’analyser le corpus intégral des écrivaines de récits ou de romans en langue italienne, arrivées en Italie suite à la vague migratoire des années Quatre-vingt-dix en provenance de la Péninsule balkanique. De ce fait, « médiane » est la position géopolitique de la région, entre la « terre promise » européenne et l’« Orient », deux mythes créés par l’Occident colonisateur ; ces écrivaines « subalternes » revêtent ainsi le rôle de « médiatrices » qui, après avoir reconstruit leur identité singulière dans un ouvrage autobiographique, se font porte-paroles d’instances collectives, en employant une prose de genre réaliste ; pour finir, l’idiome italien est le « moyen » choisi pour formuler une littérature désormais mature qui, dans certains cas, donne lieu à des motifs inattendus d’empreinte fantastico-surréelle.
As we inflect the semantics of the Latin noun "medium", we feel we unearth some of the characteristics of Italian literature as female writers from the Balkans compiled it. The thesis, titled Italian female writers from the Balkan migration, is a work that exploits devices borrowed from literature, linguistics and human geography alike, aiming at analysing the complete corpus of authors of short stories and novels in Italian who arrived to Italy following the migration wave that swept the Balkan peninsula in the nineties. "Median" is the geopolitical position of the region, sitting between the European "promised land" and the "East", both myths created by the colonising West; "mediator" is the role of these "subordinate" writers who, having reconstructed an individual identity in their autobiographic works, herald collective messages through a realist prose; lastly, the "medium" is the Italian language chosen to formulate a literature that can sometimes bring to life unexpected fantastic and surrealistic motifs.
Declinando la semantica del sostantivo latino “medium”, ci sembra di scovare alcune delle caratteristiche della letteratura italiana redatta da scrittrici d’origine balcanica. La tesi dal titolo Scrittrici italiane della migrazione balcanica è un lavoro che si serve degli strumenti propri tanto alla letteratura e alla linguistica che alla geografia umana, al fine di analizzare il corpus completo delle autrici di racconti brevi o romanzi in lingua italiana, giunte in Italia al seguito di quell’ondata emigratoria che negli anni Novanta scosse la Penisola balcanica. “Mediana” è la posizione geopolitica della regione, a cavallo tra la “terra promessa” europea e l’“Oriente”, miti entrambi creati dall’Occidente colonizzatore; “mediatore” è il ruolo di quelle scrittrici “subalterne” che, dopo aver ricostruito…

▼ In this dissertation I follow the path of Chinese Vietnamese who left Vietnam for China and Hong Kong during the period 1978-1996, and finally settled in London. I study this collective serial migration based on archival research, structured and semi structured interviews and participant observation with individuals and families in homes, places of business and at community events. Based on this research, I study the reasons for their departure from VN, their time in China and refugee camps in HK, their dispersal in the UK and consequent settlement in London. This leads me to explore collective memory in the context of a collective serial migration that shift attention from borders as containers of meaning and culture to markers of significant shifts along a path. My research shows that sharing the path of migration reinforces feelings of belonging to a specific group shaped by a shared experience. This group dominates ideas of self and belonging, ethnicity and citizenship. This collective serial migration thus provides a particularly fruitful terrain for exploring recombinant histories and more generally the connection between migratory experience and forms of subjectivity. Collective serial migration creates a situation for the children of migrants that is distinct from those of diasporic constituted communities and that leads most of them to pursue paths of individual serial migration themselves. Experiencing paths of collective serial migration passes on a subjective outlook that favors onward migration in the first, 1.5 and 2nd generations.

▼ This ethnographic study on Cuban immigrants conducted in Germany explored the dynamics of integration through an understudied immigrant population. Most of the research conducted on integration in Germany has overwhelmingly been on Turkish immigrants, which is Germany’s majority immigrant group. To contribute to Integration
Studies, this research focused on a minority and lesser studied immigrant group, Cuban immigrants. Cuban immigrants in Germany not only have a different historical and geopolitical relationship with Germany than its majority group but they also subscribe to different cultural and ethnoreligious categories. Because of these varying circumstances, Cubans act as a counter example to the majority immigrant group, creating an alternative narrative to integration in Germany.
This dissertation addressed the methodology used in this study, explored the complexity of identity, examined German immigration and integration policies, reviewed the Cuban diaspora in the United States and globally, and presented an ethnography of Cuban integration in Germany. Effectively contributing to not only Integration
Studies but also to Cuban Diaspora
Studies, and Identity
Studies.

▼ This dissertation examines the global crisis of protection through the lens of the Syrian refugee crisis and the particular experiences of refugees’ journeys to Sweden.
In doing so, the dissertation challenges the dominant narratives that represent refugees either as victims who deserve aid in their regions, or as threats when they exert their agency and journey towards the global north. In the same vein, the dissertation problematizes the dominant narrative of the “European crisis of migration” and proposes that the “unauthorized” arrivals of refugees in Europe are reflections of a global crisis of protection, a crisis that develops as a result of a failing protection regime and bordering practices against refugees from the global south. These practices are based to a large degree on government policies designed to contain refugees in their regions and deter them from reaching the states of the global north where they believe they can have better access to rights. The dissertation proposes that such practices do not deter desperate refugees from arriving in the global north, but rather increase the “human cost” (Spijkerboer, 2007) of their journeys by reducing the legal and safe pathways and forcing refugees into illegality and precarity.
The dissertation examines the journeys of refugees from Syria towards Sweden. These refugees escaped the war in their homeland, only to find themselves trapped between a failing protection regime and a global system of border controls. Those who decide to journey towards other destinations are transformed from being refugees, who deserve protection, into “irregular migrants”, who are criminalized for challenging the regime of borders. Due to such precarity and illegality, refugees arrive at their intended destinations with a heavy load of pain, fear, and confusion, which influences their sense of identity and belonging and affects their ability to integrate into their new localities.
Informed by the knowledge of refugees and through their stories, the dissertation develops a conceptual framework of the refugee journey. It addresses the journey as an act of survival and resistance that is messy and complex and involves high degrees of agency but also precarity, which entails a transformative impact on a refugee’s role, positionality, and identity.
The dissertation centralizes refugees as the prime source of knowledge and presents them as real individuals with various backgrounds and aspirations. It focuses on people’s own experiences and stories which are often left out of policymaking, and absent from high-level discussions between government leaders, policymakers, and international organizations including the United Nations.

▼ This dissertation asks: how does intimate labour interact with the mobility and political subjectivities of Haitian migrant women and women of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic (DR)? It answers this question in three specific ways. First, it explains the relationship between intimate labour and the spatial trajectories of women of Haitian ancestry who work as domestic workers. Second, it examines how the interaction between intimate labour and human mobility plays out in the Dominican border regime. Third, it explains how these subaltern women act politically in the midst of the intersections between borders, mobilities, and intimacy.
The dissertation proposes the use of ‘intimate-mobility entanglement’ as a concept that explains the deep inter-relation between intimacy and human mobility. Intimate labour requires a certain immobility, while it also affects the pace and motivations of mobility. In tandem, mobilities may set the conditions under which social reproduction occurs and intimate labour is provided. The dissertation argues that the intimate-mobility entanglement has relevant geopolitical implications that affect the ways borders function, demonstrating, among others, some of the ways sexual violence is used as a form of control that is enacted by diverse state (i.e. border officers) and non-state (i.e. smugglers) actors and affect black women of Haitian ancestry. The dissertation identifies two ways of acting politically in the midst of the intimate-mobility entanglement. It argues that embodied struggles for survival and bodily integrity are a primary form of political claim-making that coexists with discursive claim-making practices such as labour union activism, and local-international grassroots organizing by and for subjects that experience precarity of status.
These contributions are the result of fourteen weeks of fieldwork, and qualitative analysis based on ethnographic methods that include participant observation, interviews, and focus groups with 165 domestic workers, migrants and activists in the DR, in communities located in 4 different geographic regions of the DR including the Haiti-DR border strip. One of the main contributions of the dissertation is to bridge scholarship on transnational social reproduction (which is mostly grounded on global political economy, feminist geography, and international political sociology) with scholarship on migrant studies, geopolitics, and the mobilities paradigm. In particular it contributes to Hyndman’s embodied mobilities, and Sheller’s reproductive mobilities, by emphasizing the centrality of the sustenance of life to why we move, how we do it, as well as how mobility is controlled.
Thinking about the intimate-mobility entanglement brings livelihoods to the forefront of international relations and identifies existing ways of acting politically in a global context where new forms of differential inclusion and gradations of belonging continue to emerge. This research may be further developed by looking at the relationship between sexual and…

▼ This study is an analysis of British media coverage of the 2015 migration crisis. I analyse press reporting in the UK during the two week period surrounding the death of Alan Kurdi in September 2015, as this is when media interest in the migration crisis was at its highest. I study reporting in three different media outlets — The Guardian, The Times, and The BBC. Taken together these three cover the political spectrum of mainstream British media.
I use critical discourse analysis to do a qualitative study of reporting of three key news events during this two week period, to understand how each of these three different media outlets report on each event, the discursive devices they use, and what effect this has.
This is of interest not only with regards to the 2015 migration crisis, but also the wider political context in the UK at the time. There was considerable political and social upheaval, which culminated in the UK’s decision to leave the EU the following year. Immigration was one of the most salient discussion points in this Brexit referendum, which gives the narratives around it even greater importance.
My results show that, overall, the way each media outlet reports on the migration crisis and migrants is in keeping with their political ideology — be it right wing, left wing or neutral. My analysis shows that a mixture of explicit and implicit devices are used. In particular, by highlighting the tacit techniques, I am able to show the power the UK media has, not only to inform, but also to influence people, their decisions and their world views.

▼ In China's urban metropoles, the hukou system of household registration regulates one of the largest movements of people in human history. While rural-urban migrations are reshaping societies worldwide, the migrants who make up a great portion of urban China's low-wage labor force and burgeoning population face unique legal and social challenges. Although the trajectories of their migration do not cross international boundaries, most are legally prevented from ever gaining the within China's hukou system of household registration. The functions of this system parallel those of national citizenship policies, and are difficult to explain through standard conceptions of sovereignty and national citizenship. Extending recent work in border studies that thinks of borders in dimensions that go beyond the line itself, this thesis argues that national borders and national citizenship should not be considered as the exclusive sites from which bordering processes emanate. Instead, I argue that citizenship and bordering processes can both take place apart from the norms of nation-state territory. Based on a series of qualitative interviews conducted in Shanghai and Anhui province, this article examines the structure and effects of the hukou system as it regulates legal inclusion and exclusion of migrant workers.

▼ This thesis focuses on the British human trafficking prevention policies adopted for the 2012 London Olympics using mixed methods including participation-observation, qualitative interviews, theoretical analysis and policy evaluation. I was invited to observe the Human Trafficking Network and London 2012, the Mayor of London’s official response to the claim that human trafficking would increase at the London Olympics. My presence enabled me to witness first-hand the key policy debates surrounding human trafficking intervention and to conduct a series of in-depth interviews with members of the Human Trafficking Network as well as associated professionals such as the United Kingdom Human Trafficking Centre, MPs, governmental and non-governmental agencies, law enforcement officials, anti-trafficking groups, sex workers, sex workers outreach services and academics. In addition to collecting rich empirical data, I contexualise these policy debates within two relevant theoretical frameworks. First, I draw upon the work of Weitzer (2007) to examine the construction of the four underlying claims that human trafficking increases before and during large sporting events. Significantly, this perspective is built upon an anti-prostitution agenda of the partial criminalisation proponents, which collapses all migration for prostitution together with human trafficking (Weitzer 2005, Kempadoo 2005, Milivojevic and Pickering 2008, Kinnell 2009, Mai 2009, Mai 2012, Weitzer 2014). This same conceptualisation of human trafficking as the nexus of prostitution, migration and crime is replicated within the global anti-trafficking framework (Milivojevic and Pickering 2013), resulting in two approaches to human trafficking prevention policies — Security Governance and Human Rights — which together resulted in preventions measures that target prostitution and control migration. Finally, I draw upon my empirical evidence to critically examine the effects of the claim that human trafficking increases over the Olympics and, moreover, situate the response by the Mayor of London within the global anti-trafficking framework. This framework highlights the contradictions and, in some instances, failures between the approaches to human trafficking and the stated purpose of the Human Trafficking Network. The thesis concludes with two innovative policy recommendations for human trafficking prevention programmes.

Are Amenities Important for the Migration of Highly Educated

▼ Across the past two decades, public officials have
debated and social scientists have studied the importance of
tourist amenities in attracting and retaining human capital. Few
studies, however, have examined the relationship between tourist
amenities and the
migration of educated workers. Information of
this nature is needed by public officials considering the best use
of tax dollars to attract human capital and advance local
economies. This dissertation addresses this need an analysis of the
relationship between built amenities and the
migration of educated
workers. This study’s focus was on the importance of built
amenities such as sports facilities, museums, and restaurants.
Public investments can change the distribution of these amenities;
in contrast, the advantages provided by natural amenities (e.g.,
weather, coastlines, and mountains) are less susceptible to public
interventions. For that reason, areas lacking in those assets have
focused on sports, the arts, and culture to attract human capital.
Knowing if any of those investments have an effect on
migration
patterns is essential for cities across the North American Midwest
and in many other parts of the world. This study focused on both
migration (attraction) and non-movement (retention) of different
types (age, education) of workers. Empirical tests using IPUMS
(Integrated Public Use Micro-data Series) data between 2005 and
2008 show that small tourist amenities help retain workers while
some big amenities do have an impact on the immigration of some
groups of educated workers. These findings can help cities create
the desired environments to foster attraction and retention of
educated workers for economic development.
