The paper examines the racialization processes experienced by a group of university students identified as Latin American, Latino, and/or Afro-Latin American in Spain. Through ethnographic work conducted in higher education spaces, the research identifies three coping strategies for dealing with racialization experiences. The first occurs when participants are aware of these processes and the resulting racism, recognizing that it goes beyond phenotype (especially in bureaucratic processes and in relation with gender). The second strategy involves minimizing these racialization processes by labeling them as misunderstandings. The third strategy entails adopting resistance strategies to confront these processes, either by forming ethnoracial and/or religious communities or by actively engaging in anti-racist groups. In the conclusion, the article reflects on the persistence of colonial imaginaries about Latinidad present in the racialization processes experienced, interrelating them with the coping strategies present in the testimonies and connecting them with our concept of situational global racial formation.

Contemporary national football teams mirror numerous migration processes. The research was focused on the formation of football teams, examples of migrations of national team members, and changes in international rules (civil and sports citizenship, options of playing for the national team). The analysis of examples of footballers who have chosen to play for a country other than their country of birth shows multiple practices. However, the most prominent choice is to represent their parents’ country of origin. The research results contribute to studies on obtaining privileged citizenship and opportune citizenship, to integration theories, and to studies of elite migration.

In this commentary, we advocate for the wider implementation of integrated care models for NCDs within humanitarian preparedness, response, and resilience efforts. Since experience and evidence on integrated NCD care in humanitarian settings is limited, we discuss potential benefits, key lessons learned from other settings, and lessons from the integration of other conditions that may be useful for stakeholders considering an integrated model of NCD care. We also introduce our ongoing project in North Lebanon as a case example currently undergoing parallel tracks of program implementation and process evaluation that aims to strengthen the evidence base on implementing an integrated NCD care model in a crisis setting.

Abstract it. L’Italia aderisce formalmente all’obiettivo stabilito a livello europeo di incoraggiare gli ingressi per motivi di studio e facilitare il passaggio dall’immigrazione per studio alla residenza per lavoro. Prevale però ancora, a livello amministrativo, l’idea che ogni nuovo ingresso porti con sé un indesiderato rischio migratorio.

In 2014, Turkish citizens were able to vote abroad for the first time. This paper aims to analyse the symbolic meaning of the date, as reflecting Turkey’s “new diaspora policy”. The word ‘diaspora’ was not common in Turkish before the early 2010s; the Presidency of Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB), a state agency created in 2010, has contributed to its institutionalization and spread in order to serve the political and geopolitical interests of Ankara.

International development agencies have recently started to mobilise the Somali diaspora for state-building programmes. Somali diaspora experts and government officials are critical of state-building programmes run by UN agencies. By relaying critical voices from Somali diaspora experts involved in state-building programmes in Somaliland, this article looks at the emergence of the idea of migration for development. After reviewing recent critical works by transnational migration scholars, this article also draws on the work of African diaspora scholars. The latter have critiqued the mobilisation of the African diaspora as a way to serve only the Millenium Development’s Goals, yet failing to empower the African state (Clark, 2010; Zeleza, 2010). The article discusses how Somali diaspora experts are mobilised by international organisations in development and state-building programmes in Somaliland, and yet excluded from decision-making processes involved in those programmes. Despite the exclusion of Somali government officials and diaspora experts from the design of programmes run by UN agencies, the Somali diaspora and some local officials have been particularly active in creating the economic and political foundations that have enabled a re-emergence of the state in Somaliland and Somalia.

Background: The health needs of international migrants living in the United Kingdom (UK) extend beyond mainstream healthcare to services that address the wider determinants of health and wellbeing. Social prescribing, which links individuals to these wider services, is a key component of the UK National Health Service (NHS) strategy, yet little is known about social prescribing approaches and outcomes for international migrants. This review describes the evidence base on social prescribing for migrants in the UK. Methods: A systematic review was undertaken, which identified studies through a systematic search of 4 databases and 8 grey literature sources (January 2000 to June 2020) and a call for evidence on the UK government website (July to October 2020). Published and unpublished studies of evaluated social prescribing programmes in the UK were included where at least 1 participant was identified as a migrant. Screening, data extraction and quality appraisal were performed by one reviewer, with a second reviewer checking 20% of studies. A narrative synthesis was conducted. Findings: Of the 4544 records identified, 32 were included in this review. The overall body of evidence was low in quality. Social prescribing approaches for migrants in the UK varied widely between programmes. Link workers who delivered services to migrants often took on additional support roles and/or actively delivered parts of the prescribed activities themselves, which is outside of the scope of the typical link worker role. Evidence for improvements to health and wellbeing and changes in healthcare utilisation were largely anecdotal and lacked measures of effect. Improved self-esteem, confidence, empowerment and social connectivity were frequently described. Facilitators of successful implementation included provider responsiveness to migrants’ preferences in relation to language, culture, gender and service delivery format. Barriers included limited funding and provider capability. Conclusions: Social prescribing programmes should be tailored to the individual needs of migrants. Link workers also require appropriate training on how to support migrants to address the wider determinants of health. Robust evaluation built into future social prescribing programmes for migrants should include better data collection on participant demographics and measurement of outcomes using validated and culturally and linguistically appropriate tools. Future research is needed to explore reasons for link workers taking on additional responsibilities when providing services to migrants, and whether migrants’ needs are better addressed through a single-function link worker role or transdisciplinary support roles.

Este artigo trata da Exposição de Material Nazista organizada pelo Departamento de Ordem Política e Social de Santa Catarina nos anos de 1942 e 1943, quando o Brasil declarava guerra aos países do Eixo, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Mostra a violência com que a Polícia Política tratava as populações originárias da Itália e da Alemanha, países então considerados “inimigos da pátria brasileira” durante a vigência do estado de guerra. Fala das apreensões de objetos que remetiam à cultura daqueles países e de materiais que evidenciavam a presença de partidários do nazismo e do fascismo no estado de Santa Catarina. Trata também da montagem de uma exposição cujo objetivo era enaltecer o trabalho da Polícia Política e propagar a repulsa do outro e o medo na população.

Avtor izseljevanje iz Beneške Slovenije v ZDA v prvih desetletjih 20. stoletja analizira na podlagi seznamov ladijskih potnikov, ki so jih v vstopnih pristaniščih sestavljale ameriške oblasti. Razpravlja o dinamičnih in strukturnih vidikih ter pomenu preusmerjanja od kontinentalnih k atlantskim delovnim migracijam, ki so delno ohranjale začasno naravo in konzervativno ekonomsko vlogo, večinoma pa prehajale v trajno naselitev izseljencev v Ameriki. Opozarja na prelomni značaj pojava, s katerim se je začelo stalno izseljevanje iz beneškoslovenskih dolin in prikazuje logistična in socialna stališča ter vlogo družbenih mrež, ki so delovale kot oporni sistem izseljevanja in ohranjanja čezoceanskih vezi.

Issues of plagiarism, intertextuality and authorial presence in academic writing are fundamental to the teaching and learning activities of all university lecturers and their students. Knowing how to assist students, particularly those who speak English as an additional language (EAL), to develop a sense of text/knowledge ownership and authorial presence in the creation of discipline-based scholarly texts can be especially challenging. Clarifying what is encompassed by the notion of ‘common knowledge’ is also central to this process. The aim of this paper is to explore the political and intertextual nature of text/knowledge construction and emergent student authorship through the analysis of interviews and written assignments from two EAL students, together with interview data from lecturers from relevant disciplinary fields. Drawing on the work of Bakhtin, Kristeva and Penrose and Geisler, I conclude by suggesting that it is by engaging with, rather than fearing, intertextual connections, that we can create a dialogic pedagogy for academic writing that will enable students to articulate an authoritative authorial identity of their own. The importance of lecturer intervention during the drafting stages of text production is also emphasised.

The social science of international migration has generally ignored labor emigration control policies. In the critical case of Mexico, however, the central government consistently tried to control the volume, duration, skills, and geographic origin of emigrants from 1900 to the early 1970s. A neopluralist approach to policy development and implementation shows that the failure of emigration control and the current abandonment of serious emigration restrictions are explained by a combination of external constraints, imposed by a highly asymmetrical interdependence with the United States, and internal constraints, imposed by actors within the balkanized Mexican state who recurrently undermined federal emigration policy through contradictory local practices.
