Paperback. Condición: New. Migration to new destinations in Europe and the United States has expanded dramatically over the past few decades. Within these destinations, there is a corresponding greater variety of ethnic, cultural, and/or religious diversity. This timely volume, The Politics of New Immigrant Destinations, considers the challenges posed by this proliferation of diversity for governments, majority populations, and immigrants. The contributors assess the effectiveness of the policy and political responses that have been spawned by increasing diversity in four types of new immigrant destinations: "intermediate" destination countries-Ireland and Italy; culturally distinct regions experiencing new migration such as Catalonia in Spain or the American South; new destinations within traditional destination countries like the state of Utah and rural towns in England; and "early migration cycle" countries including Latvia and Poland.  The Politics of New Immigrant Destinations examines how these new destinations for immigrants compare to traditional destinations, with respect to their policy responses and success at integrating immigrants, offering perspectives from both immigrants and natives.Contributors include: Dace Akule, Amado AlarcÓn, Rhys Andrews, Francesca Campomori, Tiziana Caponio, Scott Decker, Erica Dobbs, Melissa M. Goldsmith, Aleksandra Grzymala-Kazlowska, Claudio A. Holzner, Magdalena Lesinska, Paul Lewis, Helen B. Marrow, Laura Morales, Katia Pilati, Marie Provine, Monica Varsanyi, and the editors.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Even as Donald Trump's election has galvanized anti-immigration politics, many local governments have welcomed immigrants, some even going so far as to declare their communities "sanctuary cities" that will limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. But efforts to assist immigrants are not limited to large, politically liberal cities. Since the 1990s, many small to mid-sized cities and towns across the United States have implemented a range of informal practices that help immigrant populations integrate into their communities.Abigail Fisher Williamson explores why and how local governments across the country are taking steps to accommodate immigrants, sometimes despite serious political opposition. Drawing on case studies of four new immigrant destinations-Lewiston, Maine; Wausau, Wisconsin; Elgin, Illinois; and Yakima, Washington-as well as a national survey of local government officials, she finds that local capacity and immigrant visibility influence whether local governments take action to respond to immigrants. State and federal policies and national political rhetoric shape officials' framing of immigrants, thereby influencing how municipalities respond. Despite the devolution of federal immigration enforcement and the increasingly polarized national debate, local officials face on balance distinct legal and economic incentives to welcome immigrants that the public does not necessarily share. Officials' efforts to promote incorporation can therefore result in backlash unless they carefully attend to both aiding immigrants and increasing public acceptance. Bringing her findings into the present, Williamson takes up the question of whether the current trend toward accommodation will continue given Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and changes in federal immigration policy.…

Paperback. Condición: New. Abigail Reynolds writes the introduction to this book of her creative endeavours from her studio at Porthmeor in St Ives, where a strong Atlantic wind drives sand against salt-crusted windows and the sound of the surf fills the room. This elemental, shifting environment frames the making of Walking A Cappella, a book that reflects the looping and discursive nature of her artistic practice.The publication presents a flow of images, sequencing works without regard to chronology or technique but allowing them to speak to one another formally. Recurring ideas and forms emerge intuitively, mirroring the way Reynolds returns to her core concerns from different directions. A dialogue with curator and writer Sophie J. Williamson threads through the sequence, alongside an essay by novelist Joanna Kavenna and a preface from Hammad Nasar. Reynolds' work continually explores what lies beneath or behind: the unseen, the folded, the implied. She is interested in how much information can be held in tension, and how underlying structures shape experience. Her materials are often drawn from a personal library of books arranged in chronological order, beginning around 1890 when photography entered the public domain. The changing textures of paper and design across the decades of her book collection are echoed in the array of papers and typography arranged in signatures within Walking A Cappella. Earlier in her career, working for the Oxford English Dictionary in Duke Humphrey's Library, Reynolds honed a sensitivity to material history that remains central to her practice.Reynolds works across sculpture, collage, print and live events. Using techniques such as overlay and folding, she reconfigures fragments of the past to sharpen our awareness of time. She is interested in disciplines from geology to palaeobiology, and collaborates with brass bands, choirs and DJs. Her work frequently explores the contested histories of her home in far west Cornwall.Reynolds studied English Literature at St Catherine's College Oxford University before receiving an MA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, University of London. In 2016 she was awarded the BMW Art Journey prize at Art Basel to travel to lost libraries along the Silk Road. Her book Lost Libraries documenting this journey was published by Hatje Cantz in 2018. Over 2020-22 her work was featured in British Art Show 9, the landmark touring exhibition that defines new directions in contemporary art. In 2019 she transformed the sand and seaweed of a local beach into perfect mouth-blown glass. Her work is well represented in public collections including New York Public Library, the Government Arts Collection and the Arts Council Collection. Her sculpture Anthronauts: Trilobite commissioned by Chatsworth House is now on view at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.…
