Urbanization and Migration in Three Continents
This book offers a systematic historical analysis of the relationships between migration and the development of cities, including their physical, economic, and cultural evolution. The volume results from a comparative project that examines the interface between migration and the development of cities throughout different periods including current conditions. Nine strategic sites are examined: Three cities in Europe, three in Latin America and three in North America. The editors contribute to the analysis by summarizing lessons from the cases discussed and by providing a glimpse at the relevance of the study of migration and cities historically. Urbanization and Migration in Three Continents will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and students of sociology, migration studies, race and ethnic studies, history, anthropology, urban studies, and economics. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
States of Return
Explores global migration through the concept of “return” The current global moment is characterized by both forced and desired returns, whether it’s the United States’ mass deportations to Mexico, ships carrying North African migrants turned back en route to Spain and Italy, urban Chinese migrants going back to their rural home communities, or domestic workers returning to their families in Bolivia and Ghana. Yet, the majority of migration research still centers unidirectional movement, which assumes settlement in a host country. States of Return addresses the many political, economic, and cultural transitions that have accelerated and transformed return during the first decades of ...
Slavery and Historical Capitalism during the Nineteenth Century
This book examines the historiography of nineteenth century slavery from the perspective of the “second slavery.” The concept of the second slavery emphasizes the relationship between local histories and world-economic transformations. It breaks with conventional narratives of slavery by emphasizing the expansion of reconfigured slaveries in extensive new zones of commodity production in Brazil, Cuba and the US South as part of world-economic processes of decolonization, industrialization, urbanization, and the creation of mass markets. Thus, slavery was not a moribund institution. Capitalist modernity, liberal ideology, and anti-slavery from above or from below, faced a vigorous foe tha...

La postveritat i la manca de reflexió, una nova realitat del segle XXI?
Les societats actuals estem immerses en una era de transformacions profundes a escala mundial. En aquest panorama canviant i accelerat, la imaginació sociològica, en el sentit de Wright Mills, és imprescindible. La teoria i recerca sociològiques són l’eina clau per a la comprensió dels processos socials i la mirada crítica de les nostres societats. Els últims anys han estat marcats per una sèrie de canvis inesperats i de successives crisis que ens plantegen nous reptes. La societat catalana forma part d’aquesta globalitat i d’aquestes transformacions i no és aliena a aquests canvis, ans al contrari, ha constituït un panorama social i polític que esdevé de gran interès per...

Marruecos y España ante los retos migratorios de la Nueva Era
Las migraciones en el contexto de la Nueva Civilización son un fenómeno que hay que tratar de manera global como componentes clave en la construcción de las identidades del siglo XXI. Indagar las migraciones como fenómeno constructor de identidades nos facilita entenderlas y gestionarlas. Nos convierte en actores activos en la formación de las nuevas sociedades en vez de ser unos meros contempladores del fenómeno. Nador, ciudad fronteriza entre dos civilizaciones, es la sede ideal para acoger este encuentro.
