Immigration and Categorical Inequality: Migration to the City and the Birth of Race and Ethnicity

Editat de Ernesto Castañeda
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2017
Immigration and Categorical Inequality explains the general processes of migration, the categorization of newcomers in urban areas as racial or ethnic others, and the mechanisms that perpetuate inequality among groups. Inspired by the pioneering work of Charles Tilly on chain migration, transnational communities, trust networks, and categorical inequality, renowned migration scholars apply Tilly’s theoretical concepts using empirical data gathered in different historical periods and geographical areas ranging from New York to Tokyo and from Barcelona to Nepal. The contributors of this volume demonstrate the ways in which social boundary mechanisms produce relational processes of durable categorical inequality. This understanding is an important step to stop treating differences between certain groups as natural and unchangeable. This volume will be valuable for scholars, students, and the public in general interested in understanding the periodic rise of nativism in the United States and elsewhere.

Recenzii

Inspired by Charles Tilly’s brilliant insights, Ernesto Castañeda has assembled a superb roster of scholars to explore links between migration and the creation and persistence of inequality. Timely and engaging,Immigration and Categorical Inequalitymakes a novel contribution to scholarly debates. It will also interest a broad audience eager to understand migration. —Viviana Zelizer, Princeton University
Ernesto Castañeda's introductory tribute to the broad sweep of Charles Tilly’s scholarship, along with studies of migrant categorization, networks, and inequality, insightfully illuminate the relational processes of social closure based on nationality, race, and ethnicity. It is a "must read" for those interested in social exclusion mechanisms. —Hilary Silver, George Washington University
Drawing on Charles Tilly’s foundational theorizing on migration and social boundaries, the chapters inImmigration and Categorical Inequalitydraw on an array of methods and contexts to show how categories of race and nation become reified, reinterpreted, redrawn. The authors in this volume stand on the shoulders of a social science giant in Tilly to help us see further into how migration shapes life across the globe. —Tomás R. Jiménez, Stanford University
Tilly’s relational perspective on human migration offers a fresh approach to understanding a social phenomenon affecting communities across the globe. The edited collection not only introduces Tilly’s relational approach to migration scholars but also offers new theoretical and empirical insights into contemporary processes of immigrant incorporation, social networks, group boundaries, and inequality. Castañeda’s collection successfully demonstrates the continued vitality of Tilly’s scholarship for contemporary and future migration scholars. — Ali Chaudhary, Rutgers University
