Prispevek obravnava predstave in odnos mladih do migracijskih procesov v dveh državah – ZDA, ki že stoletja veljajo za državo priseljevanja, in Sloveniji, ki je bila v različnih zgodovinskih obdobjih ...del različnih migracijskih procesov (kot država izseljevanja, država priseljevanja ali država tranzitnih migracij). Prvi del prispevka se osredotoča na migracijske procese v obeh državah in prikaže pregled predstav in odnosa mladih do priseljevanja, drugi del pa predstavi rezultate raziskave, ki smo jo opravili med 44 mladimi Američani in Slovenci, v kateri so nas zanimale njihove predstave in odnos do migracijskih procesov.
Priseljevanje v Sredozemlje ima večtisočletno zgodovino, ki se na malteškem otočju odraža skozi zaporedje okupatorjev, ki so ga kolonizirali. Vendar pa so trendi v zadnjih desetletjih pokazali ...izrazite spremembe v starih vzorcih, tako da namesto povratnih migrantov in naseljevanja britanskih izseljencev sedaj prevladujejo selitveni tokovi iz Evrope in podsaharske Afrike, zlasti po vključitvi Malte v Evropsko unijo leta 2004. Članek preučuje količine vključenih v te tokove, spreminjajočo se prostorsko razmestitev izhodiščnih držav ter spreminjajoče se starostne strukture priseljencev v zadnjih dveh desetletjih. Da bi zagotovili zanesljivost podatkov, so bili uporabljeni podatki zaporednih popisov prebivalstva in stanovanj, ki jih je zbral Državni statistični urad Malte. Glavni ugotovitvi prispevka sta spreminjajoča se starostna struktura priseljencev ter njihove regionalne porazdelitve na Malti. Ker je Malta najmanjša država v EU in ima eno najvišjih gostot prebivalstva na svetu, je bila obravnavana tudi problematika gostote priseljencev. Pokaže se, da je gostota priseljenega prebivalstva na Malti tako visoka kot gostote vsega prebivalstva v nekaterih evropskih državah.
Rakova Jelša in Sibirija sta edini soseski v Ljubljani z večinskim neslovenskim prebivalstvom. Nastali sta s priseljevanjem prebivalstva iz območja nekdanje Jugoslavije od sedemdesetih let dalje. ...Predstavljen je proces priseljevanja prebivalstva iz nekdanje Jugoslavije v Slovenijo in Ljubljano ter nastajanje etničnih četrti Rakova Jelša in Sibirija. Na osnovi analize popisnih podatkov med letoma 1981 in 2011 so predstavljene osnovne socioekonomske značilnosti prebivalstva, z anketiranjem lokalnega prebivalstva smo ocenili tudi zadovoljstvo s kvaliteto bivalnega okolja in analizirali problematiko integracije priseljencev v novo okolje.
Avtor v članku obravnava poseljevanje Koprskega okraja po drugi svetovni vojni. V prvih povojnih letih so se na Koprsko iz notranjosti Slovenije večinoma priseljevali strokovni in politični kadri, v ...poznejšem obdobju pa so se priseljenci zaposlovali kot industrijski delavci. Po avtorjevi hipotezi so komunistične oblasti načrtno spodbujale priseljevanje samo v prvem obdobju, pozneje pa so ti procesi potekali precej bolj spontano.
V prispevku so predstavljene ključne spremembe, ki so se na področju priseljenske zakonodaje zgodile v ZDA od predsedniškega mandata Billa Clintona do danes, ko je število nedokumentiranih ...priseljencev v ZDA preseglo enajst milijonov in je potreba po ureditvi sistema priseljevanja nujna tako z ekonomskega, varnostnega kot s socialnega vidika. Prispevek zato ponuja vpogled v analizo sprejemanja nove priseljenske zakonodaje v predsedniškem mandatu Baracka Obame ter v načrtovane spremembe sistema, sprejete v Senatu ameriškega Kongresa. V zaključku prispevka so tudi predvidevanja, kaj lahko pričakujemo v prihodnje, ko se bo aktualna razprava preselila v Predstavniški dom Kongresa.

This book challenges the common European notions about African migration to Europe and offers a holistic understanding of the current situation in Africa. It advocates a need to rethink Africa-Europe ...relations and view migration and borders as a resource rather than as sources of a crisis.
Migrant movement from Africa is often misunderstood and misrepresented as invasion caused by displacement due to poverty, violent conflict, and environmental stress. To control this movement and preserve national identities, the EU and its various member states resort to closing borders as a way of reinforcing their migration policies. This book aims to dismantle this stereotypical view of migration from Africa by sharing cutting-edge research from the leading scholars in Africa and Europe. It refutes the flawed narratives that position Africa as a threat to European societies, their economies, and security, and encourages a nuanced understanding of the root causes as well as the socioeconomic factors that guide the migrants’ decision-making. With chapters written in a concise style, this book brings together the migration and border studies in an innovative way to delve into the broader societal impacts of both. It also serves to de-silence the African voices in order to offer fresh insights on African migration – a discourse dominated hitherto by the European perspective.
This book constitutes a valuable resource for research scholars and students of Border Studies, Migration Studies, Conflict and Security Studies, and Development Studies seeking specialisation in these areas. Written in an accessible style, it will also appeal to a more general public interested in gaining a fuller perspective on the African reality.
Recent years have witnessed the rise of neo-nationalist sentiments, especially for immigration controls amongst the post-industrial white working-class in Britain. However, this trend visibly ...faltered in 2017 as unexpectedly large numbers of the post-industrial white working-class voted against political parties with implicitly neo-nationalist agendas. On the basis of ethnographic research conducted in post-industrial northeast England, I explain this unexpected turn of events as driven, in part, by a backlash against the implicit xenophobia in the agendas of neo-nationalist political organisations. I argue that the backlash is grounded in widespread perceptions of immigrants embodying locally valorised forms of sociality and personhood that are intimately linked to experiences of work and industrial work in particular. Simultaneously however, I argue that the very same members of the post-industrial white working-class often remain opposed to immigration because it enables access to an international labour force that obviates the need for the development of local human capital and, thereby, the possibility of many of ‘their own’ people having access to the means by which they can develop these same valorised types of sociality and personhood. In this way, commonly the post-industrial white working-class is opposed to immigration whilst, however, being positively predisposed towards immigrants.
V članku so na primeru občine Bistra prikazani vzroki in sodobni suburbanizacijski procesi v zagrebškem obmestju. Posebno težišče je dano proučevanju priseljevanja kot izrazitemu procesu demografske ...suburbanizacije Zagreba ter interakciji med Bistro in Zagrebom/Zaprešičem v funkciji dela, oskrbe in zadovoljevanja kulturnih potreb prebivalcev Bistre.
The closing of the “Golden Gate” to the promised land, the United States of America, after the First World War triggered a new wave of migration to the developed countries of Europe, primarily ...France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. This was the time of the first Yugoslavia, officially known as the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Part of these migrations included Slovene emigrants and their children. The interwar period was marked by a major economic crisis and intensified ideological and political pressures. The Catholic Church was a strong presence with regard to the emigrants. The book ('Slovene emigrants and Western Europe during the time of the first Yugoslavia') describes and analyses the emigrants’ everyday lives, the work of emigrant societies, the publication of emigrant newsletters, the work of emigrant teachers and priests, the work of consular offices, the organisation of contacts with the homeland, the organisation of children’s holiday camps, and the children’s pen-pal contacts all over the world. It discusses emigrant activities, the zeitgeist, creativity and contacts with the new environments. We also find numerous simple literary highlights in the emigrant contacts. Singing, acting and music were always and everywhere present among the emigrants, both during joyful celebrations and solemn occasions. The book gives us a deep insight into the world of the emigrants during the period between the two world wars.
