Die Autoren thematisieren die soziale Lage von Migranten unter der Frage der sozialen Integration bzw. Ausgrenzung. Sie setzen sich zunächst mit dem Begriff der Ausgrenzung auseinander, welcher ihrer Meinung nach als eine Relation zwischen bestimmten sozialen Gruppen und der gesellschaftlichen Normalität, als mehrdimensional und als ein Prozess aufgefasst werden sollte. Um die Frage zu beantworten, inwieweit es in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland Anzeichen für Ausgrenzungsprozesse bei Migranten gibt, werten sie vorhandene Studien und Statistiken zur Situation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, dem Wohnungsmarkt und im Bildungssystem aus. Anhand von Verlaufsdaten (Prozesscharakter) untersuchen sie, ob die Entwicklung in Richtung der Normalität der gesellschaftlichen Standards weist oder entfernt davon an den Rand der Gesellschaft (Relationalität). Nach ihren Ergebnissen hat sich nach einer Phase der Integration die Situation zumindest für Teile der Migrantenbevölkerung in der BRD seit Mitte der 1990er Jahre verschlechtert. Insbesondere wird es den Angehörigen der zweiten Generation der in Deutschland aufgewachsenen Migranten durch Diskriminierung, strukturelle Veränderungen auf den Arbeits- und Wohnungsmärkten und auch verschlechterten Bildungschancen zunehmend erschwert, ein Leben entsprechend den deutschen Standards zu führen. Die zukünftige Forschung sollte - so das Fazit der Autoren - an dieser Ambivalenz von subjektiver Integration und struktureller Ausgrenzung ansetzen. (ICI2). Die Untersuchung enthält quantitative Daten.

Der Verfasser kritisiert, dass die positiven und produktiven Aspekte ethnischer Koloniebildung häufig ignoriert werden. Er sieht eine bestimmte Vorstellung von urbaner Integration als ursächlich dafür, dass die räumliche Konzentration von ethnischen Minderheiten als negativ gewertet wird. Der Verfasser stellt Simmels Konzept der städtischen Kultur und der zivilisatorischen Qualitäten von Urbanität - auf die sich eine Stadtpolitik berufen kann, die die Integration des Fremden zum Ziel hat - die Vorstellung von Robert Park zur Integration in der multikulturellen Stadt gegenüber. Parks zentrales Denkmodell ist der funktionale Zusammenhang zwischen Segregation und Gemeinschaftsbildung. Segregation und Desegregation erscheinen so als alternative Integrationsmodi unter unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen. Individuelle Integration ist der typische Weg der Einheimischen, die Gemeinschaftsbildung der typische Weg vieler ethnischer Minderheiten. (ICE)

Ao falar do espaço, o geógrafo Milton Santos chamava a atenção para a grande variedade de acepções que a palavra envolve - um dos termos com mais verbetes. Não consta, porém, nos dicionários, "espaço-migrante", embora na acepção de muitos, poder-se-ia dizer que o mesmo já se tornou sinônimo de gueto. E nessa elasticidade conceituai, mas não por ela mesma, imputa-se ao espaço conotações que de fato perpassam os conflitos inerentes ao todo da organização social. E no caso específico dos migrantes, que não ocupam qualquer espaço, mas apenas aquele que lhes resta, este adquire conotação étnico-cultural. Tanto aqui, quanto lá fora, é forte a tendência em remarcar a distinção entre migrantes e autóctones, os nativos e os de fora. [...]

This contains a speech given by Vice Chairman of the Navajo Nation, Nelson Damon, at the Migrant Conference during an unknown date. Nelson Damon gives a welcome address regarding Navajo migrant farm workers and problems that need to be addressed. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Raymond Nakai, a Navajo Indian, was born in 1918 in Lukachukai, Arizona, on the Navajo Reservation. Raymond Nakai is noted as being the first modern Navajo political leader serving as Chairman of the Navajo Nation from 1963-1971. As chairman, the issues most important during his tenure were self determination in Navajo Education, reservation unemployment, developing Navajo economy, further development of the tribal government and improving relations with the federal government and surrounding states.

La mobilité est tellement omniprésente dans les écrits bibliques, qu'elle pourrait presque passer inaperçue. « Je suis comme un voyageur », dit le Dieu de la Bible. Ainsi, l'Eglise, à travers tous les papes et la Tradition chrétienne, promeut l'hospitalité à l'égard de l'homme de passage. A l'heure de grandes migrations, ce livre médite le visage d'un Dieu qui migre en « plantant sa tente parmi nous ». Une théologie qui éclaire l'actualité, à l'école du Pape François qui appelle à « accueillir, protéger, promouvoir et intégrer » les migrants et les étrangers

This thesis discusses about the challenge of education for migrant children in the rapidly urbanized Chinese society. An ethnographic research was conducted in one of the unregistered migrant schools in Beijing. Through a triangulation of research methods of participatory observation, semi-structured and life history interview, as well as photography, the research, from emic perspectives, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the migrant schools in education provision to migrant children, understands the gaps between policy commitments and on-the-ground delivery of public education provision, and raises a few policy recommendations of developing the migrant schools and improving education provision to migrant children. The findings suggest that the migrant schools have played an important role in meeting the unfulfilled demand for education for migrant children in cities. However, the pursuit of short-term profits compromise education quality of such schools, the problem of inequality of quality becomes significant when the migrant schools function to reduce inequality of opportunity. In addition, the findings show that the relationships between the migrant schools and local governments are of critical importance for school development. Based on the research, I would propose that the emerging public-private partnerships in education service provision can be an effective way to diversify and expand service provision channel and benefit the school, the state and migrant children.

This paper examines whether family and community migration experience affect the probability of high school graduation in Mexico once unobserved heterogeneity is accounted for. Bivariate random effects dynamic probit models for cluster data are estimated to control for the endogeneity of education and migrant network variables. Correlation of unobservables across migration and education decisions as well as within groups of individuals such as the family are explicitly controlled for. Results show that migrant networks reduce the likelihood of high school graduation. Negative migrant selection is detected at the individual level while positive migrant selection is found at the family level. -- Migration ; education ; migrant selection ; dynamic bivariate probit

'I, Migrant?' is a narrative poetry sequence that explores themes of language, culture, identity and belonging through the eyes of an Australian living in Den Haag, The Netherlands. The speaker in the poems faces challenges such as seeking work and making friends in a context where she does not speak the dominant language, Dutch. This proves far from easy, destabilising her sense of identity. She questions where and how she can belong. Reluctant to join what she considers "the white ghetto of Den Haag," the speaker initially attempts to assimilate herself into Dutch culture, but later finds solace in a community of other expats. Within this community, national identities become exaggerated and people morph into stereotypes. The speaker increasingly defines herself as "Australian," performing this identity both publicly and in private. Beneath the surface there bubbles, however, an awareness that she is acting out a myth. A more genuine sense of belonging emerges, unexpectedly, in an Asian food court, where she converses in Dutch with staff who also speak it as their second language. The speaker concludes that identity is located in language. It is therefore neither fixed nor singular, but multiple and forever changing.
