Migration and Identity
""Migration and Identity"" explores how the movement of people, particularly indigenous populations, across borders reshapes their cultural and personal identities. It examines the profound impact of migration as a catalyst for cultural transformation, leading to both resilience and displacement. The book highlights the disruption of traditional social structures and the emergence of hybrid identities, demonstrating that while migration inevitably alters cultural landscapes, indigenous communities actively negotiate their identities through adaptation, resistance, and reinvention. The book is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effects of migration beginning with core concepts, exploring historical contexts, and focusing on specific case studies. For example, diasporic communities often employ strategies to maintain their cultural heritage through language, art, and rituals. The book uses ethnographic fieldwork, oral histories, archival documents, and demographic data to provide a nuanced understanding of cultural preservation. What makes this book valuable is its focus on the agency of indigenous peoples, highlighting their resilience in adapting to new environments. It fosters interdisciplinary connections across fields such as anthropology, sociology, and history, offering a holistic perspective in an increasingly globalized world. This approach provides insights relevant to policy-making and organizations supporting indigenous communities, addressing ongoing debates surrounding cultural appropriation and the ethics of migration policies.
Europe, Migration and Identity
This volume explores connections between migration studies and research in the history of Europeanization and Europeaness, areas which have generated much interest in recent years. Beyond histories of European political integration and the intellectual and elite movements that have supported this process, scholars increasingly pay attention to the constructed nature of Europeaness and European identities, and to the multiplicity of ways in which this construction happens. Migrants can be a particularly useful lens on Europeanization processes as they provide a perspective from the periphery in two ways: by providing a view literally from the outside as in the case of those who left the continent or by providing a view from the margins of the European societies within which they live. The collection asks what ‘Europe’ meant to migrants abroad - particularly within the transatlantic context - and within the continent during the twentieth century. Contributions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives reflect both on the broader historical context and theoretical implications and highlight specific cases, such as those of European labor migrants to the United States, of transatlantic exiles and émigrés, of Latin-American immigrants in present-day Europe, as well as the experience of highly-skilled migrants within the context of the European Union. Can we trace the emergence of European identities among different groups of migrants and, if so, what forms did they take? This book was originally published as a special issue of National Identities.
Religion, Migration and Identity
In Religion, Migration and Identity scholars from various disciplines explore issues related to identity and religion, that people - individually and communally -, encounter when affected by migration dynamics; the volume foregrounds methodology as its main concern.
