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 International Handbook of the Demography of Race and Ethnicity
This book will address issues related to the demography of race and ethnicity - defined broadly - with particular emphasis on differential growth rates, stratification, and conflict.

To obtain a degree of comparability, each chapter will address common…
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…

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…

Undocumented Central Americans in Houston: Diverse Populations
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…
