Taking an interdisciplinary approach and focusing on the social and psychological resources that promote resilience among forced migrants, this book presents theory and evidence about what keeps refugees healthy during resettlement. The book draws on contributions from cultural psychiatry, anthropology, ethics, nursing, psychiatric epidemiology, sociology and social work. Concern about immigrant mental health and social integration in resettlement countries has given rise to public debates that challenge scientists and policy makers to assemble facts and solutions to perceived problems. Since the 1980s, refugee mental health research has been productive but arguably overly-focused on mental disorders and problems rather than solutions. Social science perspectives are not well integrated with medical science and treatment, which is at odds with social reality and underlies inadequacy and fragmentation in policy and service delivery. Research and practice that contribute to positive refugee mental health from Canada and the U.S. show that refugee mental health promotion must take into account social and policy contexts of immigration and health care in addition to medical issues. Despite traumatic experiences, most refugees are not mentally ill in a clinical sense and those who do need medical attention often do not receive appropriate care. As recent studies show, social and cultural determinants of health may play a larger role in refugee health and adaptation outcomes than do biological factors or pre-migration experiences. This book’s goal therefore is to broaden the refugee mental health field with social and cultural perspectives on resilience and mental health.

For thousands of years, migration has been a source of social and economic well-being for people living on different shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Whether through higher earnings for migrants, access to labor for receiving countries, or remittances for sending communities, migration has been an important driver of development in the Mediterranean region. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has severely disrupted this complex web of movements, raising questions about whether migration will continue to be an important driver of the region’s well-being. As time passed, it became clear that the drivers of migration are so strong that mobility restrictions can only reduce movements, not halt them entirely. Building Resilient Migration Systems in the Mediterranean Region: Lessons from COVID-19 presents evidence on the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on mobility in the region to inform policy responses that can help countries restart migration safely and better respond to future shocks. While some of the challenges that emerged during the pandemic are specific to public health crises, others are common to different types of shocks, including those related to economic, conflict, or climate-related factors. To inform this reform process, this book suggests a set of actions that can help Mediterranean countries to maximize the benefits of migration for all people living in the region, while at the same time ensuring the sustainability of migration flows. As a whole, these proposed policy actions point to a vision of migration resilience that, even during crises, can address key labor shortages, keep both migrant and native populations safer, sustain household incomes, and ameliorate blows to economic growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has created momentum for policy reforms. Whether this crisis can illuminate the way toward better adapting migration systems to future crises will depend on learning its lessons.

This edited volume explores the circumstances under which vulnerable communities can better adapt to climate and environmental change, and focuses in particular on the centrality of migration as a resilience and adaptation strategy for communities at risk. The book features important case studies where migration is being used as a risk management strategy in the Pacific, Sub-Sahara Africa, Latin America, and Europe. Its comparative analysis reveals common patterns in enhancing local resilience through migration across diverse regional, socio-economic, cultural, and political contexts. This book is a contribution to the global discussion about the future of migration policy, especially as climate and environmental change is expected to grow as one of the most pressing challenges of our time.

Migration is not a state of emergency, but a basic existential experience of humanity. It shapes contemporary societies by challenging established orders, creating transnational spaces beyond national hegemonies, creating new economies, influencing urban and communal ways of life, making inequality and precariousness visible locally and globally. Migration research as a social science does not narrow the focus to 'the migrants', but investigates the conditions for living together and shaping life between ethnicization and pluralization, discrimination and empowerment, division and participation. The Yearbook Migration and Society repeatedly turns the prism of narrative anew. The 2022/2023 edition focuses on the topic »Climate«.

Drawing on case studies mostly from Asia and Africa, this book reconsiders the increasing interconnectedness between world regions from a perspective of ‘translocality’. It suggests a more comprehensive reading of processes often simplified as ‘global’, very recent, unidirectional, and ‘Western’-dominated.

We live in times of extreme change. There could be no better time than now to interrogate the lives of new kinds of people, movers and makers, who navigate fragility and uncertainty to create with daring, often against great odds. Parminder Bhachu uses their dramatic life stories to uncover what makes for creativity and resilience in times of disequilibrium. What can be learnt from their creative moxie as innovators outside establishment powers? Why has their creative reach grown exponentially in our globally connected twenty-first century? How have their abilities to innovate been catalyzed without subscription to knowledge hierarchies and monopolies? These culturally dexterous movers who possess movement capital, advanced with every migration, have translated ancient maker and craft skills into transforming modern technology, science, design, architecture, and the arts. Generous, inclusive, and deeply collaborative, they are at the heart of open source sharing for collective intelligence, the common good, and the maker movement. They invigorate the economies they reside in greatly enhancing creative capacities and reach. Bhachu, herself a multiple-migrant maker, offers us a model for a hopeful way forward, bringing her unique ethnographic insights to illuminate what can be learnt about thriving in worlds of flux.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled 'Transnational Migration, Resilience and Family Relationships: Indian household workers in Hong Kong' Submitted by KEEZHANGATTE James Joseph for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in March 2006. Transnational relationships between Indian migrant women household workers in Hong Kong and their family members in India (particularly husbands, children and parents and/or siblings) constitute the focus of this study. The literature on transnational migration is growing but does not encapsulate the complexity of relationships arising from transnational labour migration. An obvious example is that of unskilled women, who are emerging as important actors in transnational social space, who migrate alone internationally, negotiating transnational relationships with their families in the country of origin. The impact of migration on these solo women migrants, the strengths that they draw from work, income and friendship ties that they develop with fellow migrants at destination, and the cumulative impact these have on their transnational relationships with families that they left behind, remain unknown. Existing concepts of international labour migration do not reflect these complex issues. The researcher adopted multi-sited ethnographic research to collect data from research participants in Hong Kong and India. The data was analysed using a within-case and across-case analytic strategy. The following closely linked significant findings emerged from the study. First, it emerged that Indian migrant women household workers in Hong Kong drew strength from their membership of small groups. Small groups functioned as fountains of strength for members. By developing reciprocal 'lunch box rights' they consolidated their connections with each other. Secondly, the concept of 'bangled-husband' emerged from the data. It highlighted the reversal of gender roles between breadwinning migrant wives and their non-migrant husbands. The larger picture that emerged from the study is not that of winners or losers but rather a state of flux where migrant women make some advances in breaking out of difficult marital relationships, while men lose some control over their formerly unchallenged domains. Thirdly, the pain of separation was central to the transnational relationship between mothers in Hong Kong and the children they left behind in India. The strengths and resilient experiences of transnational mothers failed to soothe the pain on either of the divide. Finally, there were multiple claims on the Hong Kong incomes of these migrant women from extended family members. It was only after migrant women household workers struck a balance in the disbursal of their income, between the demands from family members as well as their own needs for education, recreation and accumulation that it worked in their favour to gain influence in their natal or marital family. It was in the context of drawing strength from their migration, membership of small groups, work and income that the researcher proposed the concept of 'resilient migrant woman household worker' which encapsulates their strengths and resilience that is absent from other conceptualisations of labour migration. However, their success in the private sphere of the family did not translate into greater authority and equality in the public sphere of civic life. DOI:
