Capitalism and Migration: The Rise of Hegemony in the World-System
Statement from the Director
From Here and There: Diaspora Policies, Integration, and Social Rights beyond Borders - by Alonso, Alexandra D
Unaccompanied minors from the Northern Central American countries in the migrant stream: Social Differentials and Institutional Contexts
The migration of minors unaccompanied by adults from the northern countries of Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) to the United States has risen sharply in recent years, surpassing the numbers that migrated during the political conflicts in the region in the 1980s and early 1990s. While the migration of minors from the northern region of Central America may appear as a homogeneous flow, significant sociodemographic and regiona…
On the Move: Changing Mechanisms of Mexico-US Migration - by Garip, Filiz
Deportation and Return in a Border-Restricted World: Experiences in Mexico, el Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras
This volume focuses on recent experiences of return migration to Mexico and Central America from the United States. For most of the twentieth century, return migration to the US was a normal part of the migration process from Mexico and Central America, typically resulting in the eventual permanent settlement of migrants in the US. In recent years, however, such migration has become involuntary, as a growing proportion of return migration is taki…
The ripple effects of deportations in Honduras
Hondurans have been targeted for deportation since the 1980s, but today their deportations have grown disproportionate to their immigrant population size. They are more likely to face deportation than other targeted groups, such as Mexicans, Salvadorans and Guatemalans. Given Hondurans' singular position in the deportation system and the dearth of research about this group, we ask: What are the potential short- and long-term consequences of depor…
The ripple effects of deportations in Honduras
Fear of Immigration Enforcement Among Older Latino Immigrants in the United States
Restrictive immigration measures have implications for conditions of fear and other stressors affecting the well-being of older immigrants
Deporting Fathers: Involuntary Transnational Families and Intent to Remigrate among Salvadoran Deportees
One-fourth of deportees from the United States are parents of US-citizen children. We do not know how separation from families affects remigration among deportees, who face high penalties given unlawful reentry. We examined how family separation affects intent to remigrate among Salvadoran deportees. The majority of deportees with children in the United States were also separated from their spouse, and the vast majority had US-citizen children. F…

Guatemala-U.S. Migration: Transforming Regions
Guatemala-U.S. Migration: Transforming Regions is a pioneering, comprehensive, and multifaceted study of Guatemalan migration to the United States from the late 1970s to the present. It analyzes this migration in a regional context including Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States. This book illuminates the perilous passage through Mexico for Guatemalan migrants, as well as their settlement in various U.S. venues. Moreover, it builds on existing…

Constructing Illegality in America: Critiques, Experiences, and Responses
The topic of 'illegal' immigration has been a major aspect of public discourse in the United States and many other immigrant-receiving countries. From the beginning of its modern invocation in the early twentieth century, the often ill-defined epithet of human 'illegality' has figured prominently in the media; in vigorous public debates at the national, state, and local levels; and in presidential campaigns. In this collection of essays, contribu…
New Southern Neighbors: Latino immigration and prospects for intergroup relations between African-Americans and Latinos in the South
Contrôle des frontières: Questions de droits humains et d’éthique sur une stratégie états-unienne
Le renforcement de la frontière entre les États-Unis et le Mexique a un effet direct sur ceux qui tentent de la franchir. Face un passage rendu de plus en plus difficile, les migrants n'ont d'autre choix que de traverser des zones dangereuses. Pour contourner cette politique de dissuasion, ils risquent leur vie. La police des frontières américaine est en première ligne de ce dispositif. Derrière, c'est toute une bureaucratie qui semble rester sou…
Shifting Trends in Central American Migration: A Demographic Examination of Increasing Honduran-U.S. Immigration and Deportation
Social effects of mass deportations by the United States government, 2000-10
Interviews with deportees in El Salvador and Mexico and with immigrants in the United States indicate that expanded US enforcement policies are straining transnational families and imposing fear on immigrant communities. Expanded enforcement is removing long-term settlers with strong kinship ties to the United States. Through various strategies, some immigrants attempt to cope with new enforcement operations, while others involuntarily return to …
Acculturative Stress Among Documented and Undocumented Latino Immigrants in the United States
The purpose of the study was to examine differences between documented and undocumented Latino immigrants in the prevalence of three immigration-related challenges (separation from family, traditionality, and language difficulties), which were made more severe after the passage of restrictive immigration legislation in 1996. Specifically, the study sought to determine the combined and unique associations of legal status, the three immigration-rel…

U.S. Deportation Policy, Family Separation, and Circular Migration
Since the mid-1990s the United States has enacted a series of laws that make it easier to deport noncitizens. Drawing on findings from interviews with a random sample of 300 Salvadoran deportees, we examine how family relations, ties, remittance behavior, and settlement experiences are disrupted by deportation, and how these ties influence future migration intentions. We find that a significant number of deportees were long-term settlers in the U…
Latin American Social Movements: Globalization, Democratization, and Transnational Networks
When States Kill: Latin America, the U.S., and Technologies of Terror
Since the early twentieth century, technological transfers from the United States to Latin American countries have involved technologies of violence for social control. As the chapters in this book illustrate, these technological transfers have taken various forms, including the training of Latin American military personnel in surveillance and torture and the provision of political and logistic support for campaigns of state terror. The human cos…
Fractured Families and Communities: Effects of Immigration Reform in Texas, Mexico, and El Salvador
Workers Wanted: Employer Recruitment of Immigrant Labor
Employers play central roles in the social incorporation of immigrant labor but have usually received only scant attention in research literature. From the importation of contract Mexican workers from 1942 to 1964 to the present employment of foreign-born workers in primary and secondary labor markets, employers have played critical functions in recruiting foreign-born labor into the U.S. economy. Directly and indirectly, the U.S. government has …

The Effects of Recent Welfare and Immigration Reforms on Immigrants’ Access to Health Care
This study investigates the impact of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, both passed in 1996, on the use of health-care services in immigrant communities in five Texas counties. The study presents findings of interviews with public agency officials, directors of community-based organizations, and members of 500 households during two research phas…

Death at the Border
Debates about United States border control policies have generally ignored the human costs of undocumented migration. We focus attention on these costs by estimating the number, causes and location of migrant deaths at the southwest border of the United States between 1993 and 1997. We document more than 1,600 possible migrant fatalities along the border in this period. More than 1,000 of these deaths were reported by United States data sources, …

Debates about United States border control policies have generally ignored the human costs of undocumented migration. We focus attention on these costs by estimating the number, causes and location of migrant deaths at the southwest border of the United States between 1993 and 1997.... Deaths from hyperthermia, hypothermia and dehydration increased sharply from 1993 to 1997 as intensified border enforcement redirected undocumented migration flows…

Undocumented Central Americans in Houston: Diverse Populations
Fleeing political conflict and/or economic decline, large numbers of undocumented Central Americans have been coming to the United States since the late 1970s. Many of these migrants have settled in urban areas of the country that have large Hispanic concentrations. It is estimated that about 100,000 have settled in Houston. Interviews and observations indicate that this Central American population, composed principally of Salvadorans, Guatemalan…

Urban Specialization in the World-System: An Investigation of Historical Cases
In the history of urban sociology in the United States, much of urban-growth theory has been limited to a national level of analysis. From classical-location to uneven-development theories, conceptualization of urban growth has been contained mainly in regional or national frameworks. But in many cases, involvement in the capitalist world-economy has been a source of major urban development. Many major cities grow during certain periods mainly be…

Inside Babylon: The Caribbean Diaspora in Britain
This collection aims to reflect the varied experience of the Caribbean diaspora in Britain. The contributors set out to show how employers and police, psychiatrists and welfare services help to channel black people into residential and occupational ghettoes. They also show how within and against such oppressive conditions, black people in Britain have forged a new identity. The book includes several essays by black women, including work from Amin…
Community Life: African Americans in Multiethnic Residential Areas
The influx of new immigrants from Latin America and Asia has changed communities throughout the country. This immigration has dramatically altered the ethnic composition of many neighborhoods. As a result, shifting cultural and ethnic diversity is changing the dynamics of community life in America. Warren (1978) defined community as combination of social units and systems that perform the major social functions having locality relevance (p. 9). T…

The Transformation of Rural Mexico: Reforming the Ejido Sector
Mexico's rural reforms of the early 1990s were designed to bring corn growers and other largely subsistence farmers into the cultivation of crops with appeal in global markets. This was to be accomplished through the reduction and eventual elimination of subsidies and guarantee prices to basic crops and a relaxation of tenure constraints on ejido land. Contributors to this anthology give us a close look at how the reforms have operated in fact, a…

Black-Brown Relations and Stereotypes
Race relations in twenty-first-century America will not be just a black-and-white issue. The 2000 census revealed that Hispanics already slightly outnumber African Americans as the largest ethnic group, while together Blacks and Hispanics constitute the majority population in the five largest U.S. cities. Given these facts, black-brown relations could be a more significant racial issue in the decades to come than relations between minority groups…
