This open access book brings novel perspectives to the scholarship on transnational migration. The book stresses the complexity of migration trajectories and proposes multi-sited field studies to capture this complexity. Its constituent chapters offer examples of onward migration spanning all major world regions. The contents exemplify a range of interdisciplinary approaches, including both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The result is an impressive remapping and reconceptualisation of global migration and mobility, of interest to students and policy-makers alike.

Migration in the Medieval Mediterranean


Free Download Sarah Davis-Secord, "Migration in the Medieval Mediterranean "
English | ISBN: 1641892668 | 2021 | 119 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Migration in the Medieval Mediterranean argues that the cross-Mediterranean movement of peoples was a central aspect of the medieval world. Medieval people migrated in search of safety after regime change, secure life amongst coreligionists, and prosperous careers. This kind of travel between Muslim and Christian regions demonstrates the mutual influences, interconnections, and communications linking them, surpassing the differences between the two civilizations.

Mathematics of Multidimensional Seismic Imaging, Migration, and Inversion


Free Download Mathematics of Multidimensional Seismic Imaging, Migration, and Inversion by N. Bleistein , J. W. Stockwell , J. K. Cohen
English | PDF | 2001 | 537 Pages | ISBN : 0387950613 | 48 MB
In the last 40 years geophysicists have found that it is possible to construct images and even determine important physical characteristics of rocks that can yield information about oil and gas bearing structures in the earth. To make these images and extract this information requires the application of an advanced understanding of the mathematical physics of wave propagation. The oil and gas industry labels a major collection of the necessary seismic data processing methods by the name seismic "migration".

Local Migration Policy Governance Structures and Policy Output in Swedish Municipalities


Free Download Gustav Lidén, "Local Migration Policy: Governance Structures and Policy Output in Swedish Municipalities"
English | ISBN: 3030832929 | 2022 | 340 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book examines local migration policy in Sweden in light of the European migrant crisis. The novel approach of this volume covers both local governments’ policies on admission of immigrants and their efforts for enhancing social integration. The focus is on the division of responsibilities between political levels, examined through theories encompassing both governance structures and output and outcomes of policy. Sweden is a rare example where migration policy has undergone massive changes in the last decade. During the crisis, the country received some of the largest flows of immigrants in relation to its population compared with other European countries. Drawing from statistical material, case studies and a rich body of interviews, this innovative work provides a valuable resource that aspires to investigate the significance of the local level of government in migration policy. The objective is to reach general conclusions that go beyond the realms of the empiricalfocus.

From East to West The Westward Migration of Jews from Eastern Europe During the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries


Free Download Moses A. Shulvass, "From East to West: The Westward Migration of Jews from Eastern Europe During the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries "
English | ISBN: 0814343465 | 2017 | 162 pages | EPUB | 1478 KB
Migration has been a major factor in the life of the Jewish people throughout the two and a half millennia of their dispersion. And yet, the history of the Jewish migratory movements has not been fully explored in Jewish history. While the Jewish migratory movements in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and especially immigration to the New World, have attracted the attention of scholars, earlier such movements did not. In the present book I propose to discuss such a movement of an earlier period, that from Eastern Europe to the countries of the West, from its inception at the beginning of the seventeenth century to the dissolution of the old Polish commonwealth. Since this book deals with the history of a Jewish migratory movement, it should be understood that unless otherwise indicated, the terms emigrants, immigrants, and migrants refer to Jews

Fictions of Migration in Contemporary Britain and Ireland


Free Download Carmen Zamorano Llena, "Fictions of Migration in Contemporary Britain and Ireland"
English | 2020 | pages: 216 | ISBN: 3030410528, 3030410552 | PDF | 2,6 mb
This book examines how the transcultural and transnational migration of people, texts, and ideas has transformed the paradigm of national literature, with Britain and Ireland as case studies. The study questions definitions of migration and migrant literature that focus solely on the work of authors with migrant backgrounds, and suggests that migration is not extraneous but intrinsic to contemporary understandings of national literature in a global context. The fictional work of authors such as Caryl Phillips, Colum McCann, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Rose Tremain, Elif Shafak, and Evelyn Conlon is analysed from a variety of perspectives, including transculturality, cosmopolitanism, and Afropolitanism, so as to emphasise how their work fosters an understanding of national literature, as well as of individual and collective identities, based on transborder interconnectivity.
