This timely Handbook brings together leading international scholars
from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geopolitical
perspectives to interrogate the intersections between migration and
global justice. It explores how cross-border mobility and migration
have been affected by rapid economic, cultural and technological
globalisation, addressing the pressing questions of global justice
that arise as governments respond to unprecedented levels of global
migration. Chapters analyse the key issues arising from tensions
between international and national priorities, duties and laws, as
well as visions for human coexistence and harmony. Featuring
chapters written by researchers, political activists and
contributors with lived experience of migration injustice, the
Handbook explores central topics including failures in refugee
protection, worker exploitation and violence against migrants.
Looking ahead, it also discusses possible pathways to achieve
global justice in and through migration, in terms of geopolitics,
subjective experience, human rights and redistributive justice,
global solidarity and political activism. Combining empirical case
studies with cutting-edge theory, this Handbook will be an
invaluable resource for scholars and students of migration, human
rights and public policy. The application of the global justice
concept to issues of migration and border control will also be
useful for policy makers, practitioners and NGOs in these areas.
As early as 1947, Black parents in rural South Carolina began
seeking equal educational opportunities for their children. After
two unsuccessful lawsuits, these families directly challenged
legally mandated segregation in public schools with a third lawsuit
in 1950, which was eventually decided in Brown v. Board of
Education. Amidst the Black parents' resistance, Elizabeth Avery
Waring, a twice-divorced northern socialite, and her third husband,
federal judge J. Waties Waring, launched a rhetorical campaign
condemning white supremacy and segregation. In a series of
speeches, the Warings exposed the incongruity between American
democratic ideals and the reality for Black Americans in the Jim
Crow South. They urged audiences to pressure elected
representatives to force southern states to end legal segregation.
Wanda Little Fenimore employs innovative research methods to
recover the Warings' speeches that said the unsayable about white
supremacy. When the couple poked at the contradiction between
segregation and "all men are created equal," white supremacists
pushed back. As a result, the couple received both damning and
congratulatory letters that reveal the terms upon which segregation
was defended and the reasons those who opposed white supremacy
remained silent. Using rich archival materials, Fenimore crafts an
engaging narrative that illustrates the rhetorical context from
which Brown v. Board of Education arose and dispels the notion that
the decision was inevitable. The first full-length account of the
Warings' rhetoric, this multilayered story of social progress
traces the symbolic battle that provided a locus for change in the
landmark Supreme Court decision.
Taking an integrated approach, this unique Handbook places the
terms 'citizenship' and 'migration' on an equal footing, examining
how they are related to each other, both conceptually and
empirically. Expert contributors explore how citizenship and
migration intersect in contemporary thinking, going beyond accounts
that often treat the terms separately or simply point out the
implications of one term for the other. Organised into five parts,
chapters address the basic theoretical perspectives on citizenship
and migration, including normative approaches, cross-national
differences in citizenship regimes, and methodological issues. The
Handbook then moves on to look at the three fundamental dimensions
of citizenship: membership, rights, and participation. The final
part discusses key contemporary challenges and future perspectives
for the study of citizenship and migration. This Handbook will be a
valuable resource for scholars and students engaged in the study of
citizenship, migration, public policy, human rights, sociology and
political science, more broadly. Its interdisciplinary perspective
and use of empirical studies will also be beneficial for
practitioners and policy makers in these fields.
Until well into the twentieth century, the claims to citizenship of
women in the US and in Europe have come through men (father,
husband); women had no citizenship of their own. The case studies
of three expatriate women (Renee Vivien, Romaine Brooks, and
Natalie Barney) illustrate some of the consequences for women who
lived independent lives. To begin with, the books traces the way
that ideas about national belonging shaped gay male identity in the
nineteenth century, before showing that such a discourse was not
available to women and lesbians, including the three women who form
the core of the book. In addition to questions of sexually
non-conforming identity, women's mediated claim to citizenship
limited their autonomy in practical ways (for example, they could
be unilaterally expatriated). Consequently, the situation of the
denizen may have been preferable to that of the citizen for women
who lived between the lines. Drawing on the discourse of
jurisprudence, the history of the passport, and original archival
research on all three women, the books tells the story of women's
evolving claims to citizenship in their own right.

Restores queer suffragists to their rightful place in the history
of the struggle for women's right to vote The women's suffrage
movement, much like many other civil rights movements, has an
important and often unrecognized queer history. In Public Faces,
Secret Lives Wendy L. Rouse reveals that, contrary to popular
belief, the suffrage movement included a variety of individuals who
represented a range of genders and sexualities. However, owing to
the constant pressure to present a "respectable" public image,
suffrage leaders publicly conformed to gendered views of ideal
womanhood in order to make women's suffrage more palatable to the
public. Rouse argues that queer suffragists did take meaningful
action to assert their identities and legacies by challenging
traditional concepts of domesticity, family, space, and death in
both subtly subversive and radically transformative ways. Queer
suffragists also built lasting alliances and developed innovative
strategies in order to protect their most intimate relationships,
ones that were ultimately crucial to the success of the suffrage
movement. Public Faces, Secret Lives is the first work to truly
recenter queer figures in the women's suffrage movement,
highlighting their immense contributions as well as their numerous
sacrifices.
A New York Times bestseller, "The Dying Citizen is essential
reading for any American who cares about the fate of our nation"
(Mark R. Levin)Human history is full of the stories of peasants,
subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the "citizen" is
historically rare-and was among America's most valued ideals for
over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns Victor Davis
Hanson, American citizenship may soon vanish.In The Dying Citizen,
Hanson outlines the forces that led to this crisis. The
evisceration of the middle class has made many Americans dependent
on the federal government. Open borders have undermined allegiance
to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our
collective sense of self. And a top-heavy state has endangered
personal liberty.With a new epilogue that assesses how the events
of 2021 have further diminished the meaning of American
citizenship, The Dying Citizen is a clarion call to rebuild our
collective national identity.
'This work has come at an important time in the wake of the
so-called Arab spring when the fluctuating patterns of
state-citizen relations were rethought with varying success.
Looking at citizenship in the region from multi-disciplinary and
content related perspectives, this collection of essays discusses
the variety of ways in which citizenship operates - and is thought
about - in the contemporary Middle East and beyond. In looking at
the contested dimensions of citizenship, this book is an important
and timely work for anyone interested in the processes by which
what it means to be a citizen is made and remade.' - Rachel M.
Scott, Virginia Tech, US The Middle East is currently undergoing
its most dramatic transition since World War I. The political
order, both within individual countries and on the regional level,
has been in turmoil ever since the Arab Uprisings in 2011. Analysts
are struggling to identify conceptual frameworks that capture the
complex nature of the developments that we observe. The Middle East
in Transition demonstrates how citizenship understood as a social
contract between citizens and the state is a key factor in current
political crises in the region. The book analyzes three distinct
dimensions of citizenship in the Middle East: the development of
citizenship in specific countries, including Morocco, Israel Turkey
and Iraq; Islam and the writings of twentieth-century Islamic
thinkers; and the international dimension of citizenship,
particularly regarding EU policies towards the region and the
rights of Syrian refugees. This timely book provides a
comprehensive insight into the current implications of the changing
relationships between the citizen and the state in the Middle East.

The concept of supranational European citizenship has become one of
the core concepts of the EU?s unique polity. It has, however, been
one of the most difficult to actualise. This book examines the
challenges of, and barriers to, exercising full citizenship rights
for European citizens and considers how they might best be
overcome. Drawing on cutting-edge research from interdisciplinary
areas of study, this book examines the key issues surrounding EU
citizenship. Reflecting on the diversity of European societies, it
identifies, analyses and compares the many barriers that citizens
face to fully exercising their rights. With chapters examining key
issues from migration to democratic governance and social rights,
Moving Beyond Barriers critically analyzes concepts of citizenship
and the way that EU citizenship is politically, legally,
economically and socially institutionalised, and elaborates
alternatives to the current paths of realising EU citizenship.
Citizenship issues feature prominently in the European
policy-making agenda and the insights offered by this book will be
of benefit to those with an interest in EU law, social and public
policy and administration. Policy-makers and practitioners will
also benefit from the reflections on citizenship and the practical
guidance on how to move beyond current issues regarding EU
citizenship. Contributors include: B. Anderson, W. Bakker, V.

The book Intellectual Property Rights & Public Policy is rooted
in the fact that creativity and innovation have been hall mark of
knowledge economy. However despite there is an abundance of
innovative energies flowing in India a conducive ecosystem to
access to education, knowledge and health is far from reality.
Being TRIPS compliant country, the equitable and dynamic IP regime
with full potential of harnessing intellectual property for India's
economic growth, socio-cultural development and promotion of public
interest are distant goalposts. The pronouncement of National IPR
Policy spelt out the public policy orientation but the need to
create robust IP environment as stunning controversy thats spinning
out of control needs to hardly emphasized. The book is an erudite
compilation of renowned scholars in the field of intellectual
property having implication of moulding public policy discourse in
intellectual property law. The contributors of the volumes
luminates grey areas of research by drawing diverse perspectives
from academicians, judges and IP practitioners. The range of papers
diverse from jurisprudence of intellectual property to cyber law,
human right, access to food and medicine, biotechnology and law.
The book investigates prospects as well as the challenges by
encompassing theoretical and juridical dimensions in Indian
socio-legal context. The consequences of IP institutional failures
are unimaginable and pragmatic ending is unthinkable for any
vibrant nation like India. The book is never before seen
revelations and leading to a single impossible and inconceivable
truth of being panacea for plagued public policy diametric but
definitely an incredible collection in auguring healthy polemics of
knowledge management. To lend appropriate credence to the subject
the working of IP Laws and institutions is undertaken to hone out
the strategy of IP Law reform in public policy paradigm in India.
The outputs of the compilation can capture the attention of not
merely legal academics, policy makers, and legal profession but
also to IP practitioners, development planner and innovation
activists.
The United States has a hate problem. In recent years, hate speech
has led not only to deep division in our politics but also to
violence, murder, and even insurrection. And yet established
constitutional jurisprudence holds that all speech is protected as
"content neutral" and that the proper democratic response to
hateful expression is not regulation but "more speech." So how can
ordinary citizens stand up to hate groups when the state will not?
In Combating Hate, Billie Murray proposes an answer to this
question. As a participant in anti-racist and anti-fascist
protests, including demonstrations against the Ku Klux Klan,
neo-Nazis, and the Westboro Baptist Church, Murray witnessed
firsthand the limitations of the "more speech" approach as well as
the combative tactics of anti-fascist activists. She argues that
this latter group, commonly known as antifa, embodies a radically
different strategy for combating hate, one that explodes the myth
of content neutrality and reveals hate speech to be a tactic of
fascist organizing with very real, highly anti-democratic
consequences. Drawing on communication theory and this
on-the-ground experience, Murray presents a new strategy, which she
calls "allied tactics," rooted in the commitment to affirm,
support, and even protect those who are the victims of hate speech.
Engaging and sophisticated, Combating Hate contends that there are
concrete ways to fight hate speech from the front lines. Murray's
urgent argument that we reconsider how to confront and fight this
blight on American life is essential reading for the current era.
This Research Handbook provides a panoramic guide to the study and
research of EU citizenship and its development within a challenging
environment characterised by restrictive access to social benefits,
Brexit, Euroscepticism and Covid-19. It combines theoretical
perspectives with analyses of both the existing and future rights,
duties and social protection that EU citizens ought to enjoy in a
democratic and principled European Union. Featuring expert
contributions from scholars both within and outside the discipline
of law, the Research Handbook focuses on contemporary challenges
facing the EU, such as Brexit, the erosion of rights and issues of
constitutional choice for the citizens and governments of Europe,
and highlights the reality of incomplete implementation of EU law
and the role of the Court of Justice of the EU. A wide range of
topics are discussed, featuring, but not limited to,
differentiation, EU citizenship and nationality, the European
Pillar of Social Rights, academic freedom and restrictions in free
movement of persons. The book also applies a forward thinking
approach by examining the promise of EU citizenship and the
institutional reforms one might envisage in the future. Offering a
thought-provoking contribution to ongoing debates and studies in
the fields of EU citizenship, European internal market law and
policy and European integration, this Research Handbook will be key
reading for researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the
fields of law, political science, EU studies, and sociology.
Deferred Dreams, Defiant Struggles interrogates Blackness and
illustrates how it has been used as a basis to oppress, dismiss and
exclude Blacks from societies and institutions in Europe, North
America and South America. Employing uncharted analytical
categories that tackle intriguing themes about borderless
non-racial African ancestry, "traveling" identities and
post-blackness, the essays provide new lenses for viewing the
"Black" struggle worldwide. This approach directs the contributors'
focus to understudied locations and protagonists. In the volume,
Charleston, South Carolina is more prominent than Little Rock
Arkansas in the struggle to desegregate schools; Chicago occupies
the space usually reserved for Atlanta or other southern city
"bulwarks" of the civil rights movement; diverse Africans in France
and Afro-descended Chileans illustrate the many facets of
negotiating belonging, long articulated by examples from the
Greensboro Woolworth counter sit-in or the Montgomery Bus Boycott;
unknown men in the British empire, who inverted dying confessions
meant to vilify their blackness, demonstrate new dimensions in the
story about race and religion, often told by examples of fiery
clergy of the Black Church; and the theatres and studios of
dramatists and visual artists replace the Mall in Washington DC as
the stage for the performance of identities and activism.
Ever since its inception, one of the essential tasks of the EU has
been to establish the internal market. Despite the impressive body
of case law and legislation regarding the internal market, legal
and factual barriers still exist for citizens seeking to exercise
their full rights under EU law. This book analyses these barriers
and proposes ways in which they may be overcome. Next to analysing
the key barriers to exercising economic rights more generally, this
book focuses on three areas which represent the applications of the
four basic freedoms: consumer rights, the rights of professionals
in gaining access to the market, and intellectual property rights
in the Digital Single Market. With chapters from leading
researchers, the main pathways towards the reduction and removal of
these barriers are considered. Taking into account important
factors including the global financial crisis, as well as practical
barriers, such as multilingualism, the solutions provided in this
book present a pathway to enhance cross-border realization of
European citizens? access to their economic rights, as well as
increasing in the cultural richness of the EU. EU Citizens?
Economic Rights in Action is an important book, which will be an
essential resource for students of EU citizenship and economics, as
well as for EU policymakers and practitioners interested in the
field.
