مهاجران پساکولونیالی و سیاست‌های هویتی: اروپا، روسیه، ژاپن و ایالات متحده در مقایسه (مطالعات بین‌المللی در تاریخ اجتماعی جلد ۱۸)

These transfers of sovereignty resulted in extensive, unforeseen movements of citizens and subjects to their former countries. The phenomenon of postcolonial migration affected not only European nations, but also the United States, Japan and post-Soviet Russia. The political and societal reactions to the unexpected and often unwelcome migrants was significant to postcolonial migrants'' identity politics and how these influenced metropolitan debates about citizenship, national identity and colonial history. The contributors explore the historical background and contemporary significance of these migrations and discuss the ethnic and class composition and the patterns of integration of the migrant population.

Bibliography Notes on Contributors Index The editors (of the International Institute of Social History and Leiden U., both in the Netherlands) present seven comparative national case studies exploring postcolonial migrations to Europe and beyond. They distinguish "postcolonial migrants" from other types because of how such issues as pre-migration legal status, familiarity with language and culture of the colonial metropole, and kinship relations with the metropolitan population can influence the cultural, social, and political dynamics of immigration by postcolonial subjects. The case studies provide analysis for France, Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Japan, Russia, and the United States. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com). World War II sparked a wave of decolonizations throughout the world. These transfers of sovereignty resulted in extensive, unforeseen movements of citizens and subjects to their former countries. Present-day Western Europe, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Portugal are home to six million first-generation postcolonial migrants.
