This volume focuses on the process of return migration, from a holistic and policy-oriented perspective. Studies in return migration, which remains a vibrant field for academics, researchers, and policy-makers, have provided a large body of knowledge on particular issues, but generally fall along two lines: they are either broad macro analyses and models (especially economic ones) or narrow ethnographic views (anthropological, sociological, or psychological). This volume attempts to chart a course between these two approaches, combining returning migrants' life trajectories, as seen by themselves, with analysis of the structural processes that have taken place in the last three decades in Europe and in Poland, as a new EU country. In analyzing the social and cultural changes reflected in the biographies of returning migrants, the author uses a framework based on an original synthesis of Alfred Sch tz's phenomenological approach, focusing on the returnees' "life words," with the social realism of Margaret Archer, focusing on the concerns and projects of individuals interacting with social and cultural structures.

Описание: Consumer society is an unquestionably complex social construct. However, after decades of unremitting dominance there are signs emerging that it is starting to falter, both as a coherent and durable system of social organization and as a strategy for societal advancement. Debates concerning how we can transition beyond present energy- and materials-intensive consumer society are beginning to gain greater salience. Social Change and the Coming of Post-Consumer Society aims to develop more complete appreciation of the relevant processes of social change and to identify effective interventions that could enable a transition to supersede consumer society. Bringing together leading interdisciplinary experts on social change, the book identifies and analyzes several ongoing small- and modest-scale social experiments. Possibilities for macro-scale change from the interlinked perspectives of culture, economics, finance, and governance are then explored. These contributions expose the systemic problems that are emblematic of the current condition of consumer society, specifically the unsustainability of prevailing consumption practices and lifestyles and the persistence of inequalities. These observations are summarized and extended in the final chapter of the book. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainable consumption, sustainability transitions, environmental sociology, and sustainable development.

Описание: As I told tales about coming of age in the Dishwater Hill section of Phillipsburg, New Jersey, friends and family encouraged me to publish those stories. Three themes are prevalent throughout the book; a Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde connection to dad's alcohol addiction; the feast and famine syndrome that ruled our part time poverty predicament; and the rite of passage rituals that influenced our youthful development. I use two voices in these stories and poems.; one-how I remembered them as a kid, and two-as an adult looking back on that experience. This is important because I wanted the reader to experience the event and the emotion that went along with the story, in addition to the historical background information. I have included some illustrations and a scrapbook of old and recent photos to help provide a visual context to some of the stories. An important part of the scrapbook is a means to thank the countless individuals responsible for guidance, compassion, and mentoring during my formative years. In spite of some personal hardships, this town, was a great place to live and grow up in during the 1950's and 1960's.

Описание:
Coming Home Your Way offers college and university students returning from an education-abroad experience a wealth of pertinent information, opportunities for meaningful reflection, and practical guidance on making the most of their time abroad. Grounded in research and addressing an array of aspects of education abroad - including intercultural communication, changing relationships, and career impact - Coming Home Your Way will be an invaluable tool for any student planning, experiencing, or returning from a stay abroad.
Drawing from theory and research from multiple disciplines, and real-world experiences of students who have studied abroad, the volume addresses key themes critical to understanding reentry, including individual differences in taking in experience, communication patterns and approaches, the reentry transition, the nature of relationships in reentry, bridging reentry and career, and more. Within each chapter are opportunities for self-reflection that allow readers to integrate the ideas presented into their own experience. Compelling short fictional accounts add flavor and detail that bring theory to life.
Coming HomeYour Way provides a window into the complex experience of intercultural reentry. Reentry from an education-abroad experience can be a period of intense growth, and can feel disruptive and confusing while it's happening. The authors explain and explore these complexities in a conversational style that will engage students, and with the rigor expected by their instructors. Like no other book currently on the market, Coming Home Your Way will give college and university students insight into the challenges and intercultural opportunities that reentry offers.

Описание: Coming of Age in Madrid is a longitudinal study of twenty-seven Moroccan youth who migrated to Madrid as unaccompanied minors, passed their adolescence in the Spanish child-care system, and embarked on their lives as young adults. Interviews were conducted over a period of six years in Spain and Morocco. The stories begin with their lives in Morocco then follows them--children traveling alone--as they across the Strait of Gibraltar and make their way to Madrid. The study also engages with those who were deported, crossing the Strait once again as they were returned to Morocco.
Unaccompanied minor migration is on the rise throughout the world. As Spain and other nations grapple with increasing numbers of unaccompanied children on their borders, the importance of this study has immediate relevance for government policies and migration research.
