Handbook on Migration and Ageing: Sandra Torres, Alistair Hunter Handbook on Migration and Ageing
Sandra Torres, Alistair Hunter
R6,288 Discovery Miles 62 880 Out of stock

This comprehensive Handbook explores the fundamental concepts surrounding the ageing-migration nexus. It is indispensable reading, presenting interdisciplinary research to investigate the unique experiences of older migrants, migrant eldercare workers and older people left behind. Illustrating the various contemporary topics of study used to explore the connections between migration and ageing, the Handbook discusses how the research interest surrounding this interrelation has developed. Chapters explore two central factors that have influenced the ageing-migration nexus, namely population ageing and the globalization of international migration. It aptly draws attention to conclusions drawn from already completed research ventures, before considering what research still needs to be conducted. This innovative Handbook will be an ideal resource for researchers and practitioners aiming to familiarize themselves with the field. It will also be beneficial for more experienced researchers studying topics such as migration, welfare states and social gerontology, as well as academics looking to become more informed on the connections between migration and ageing.

Retirement Home? Ageing Migrant Workers in France and the Question of Return (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018): Alistair Hunter Retirement Home? Ageing Migrant Workers in France and the Question of Return (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2018)

R1,777 Discovery Miles 17 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This open access book offers new insights into the ageing-migration nexus and the nature of home. Documenting the hidden world of France's migrant worker hostels, it explores why older North and West African men continue to live past retirement age in this sub-standard housing. Conventional wisdom holds that at retirement labour migrants ought to instead return to their families in home countries, where their French pensions would have far greater purchasing power. This paradox is the point of departure for a book which transports readers from the banlieues of Paris to the banks of the Senegal River and the villages of the Anti-Atlas. In intimate ethnographic detail, the author brings to life the experiences of these older labour migrants by sharing in the life of the hostels as a resident, by observing at close quarters the men's family life on the other side of the Mediterranean as a guest in their homes, and even by accompanying them in their travels by bus, sea, and air. The monograph evaluates several theories of migration against rich qualitative data gathered from multiple methods: biographical narrative and semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and archival research. In the process, it offers a thoughtful contribution to broader debates on what it means for migrants to belong and achieve inclusion in society. This book has been awarded an 'honourable mention' in the Khayrallah Prize in Migration Studies, courtesy of the Moise A. Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies at North Carolina State University. For more information please see: https://lebanesestudies.ncsu.edu/awards/scholarly/2018.php.

Final Journeys - Migrant End-of-life Care and Rituals in Europe (Paperback): Alistair Hunter, Eva Soom Ammann Final Journeys - Migrant End-of-life Care and Rituals in Europe (Paperback)
Alistair Hunter, Eva Soom Ammann
R1,424 Discovery Miles 14 240 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

A recurring theme of the public discourse on immigration in Europe today is that migrants are primarily young people, of working age. Against this short-sighted view, the main contribution of this book is to propose that processes of ageing and dying constitute a critical juncture in the settlement of migrant-origin communities, precipitating novel intercultural negotiations in societies characterized by post-migration diversity. Bringing together seven studies reflecting different institutional and (trans)national contexts, the chapters fall under two main themes. A key issue when facing death is the organization of adequate care for the dying, which may be a challenging task in pluralized settings involving both migrant patients and migrant carers. Facing the end of life furthermore involves the practice of rituals in order to make sense of the transition from life to death. Whether through care or ritual, the studies presented here show that the need to reconcile different cultural, religious and administrative norms relating to death is infused with ontological insecurities which may result in new or renewed interrogations of identities and belongings. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies.

`Professor A. M. Hunter of Aberdeen has performed many valued services to the student world and to the busy pastor in his preaching and parish work; but no previous book of his is more timely in its appearance than The Gospel according to St Paul. The reason is obvious. t" or here in short compass and in, a readable style, Prof.4lunter has distilled a great deal of New Testament teaching and much practical wisdom - and in a way which the preacher will find most palatable. But the timeliness of this book is nothing short of providential. In a day.when Paul is assailed by many moderns, this book comes with a refreshing positiveness and convincing appeal. And at a time when our youngsters are all eager to pick up the latest vagary, it is good to be reminded that Paul has still his contemporary defenders, who are concerned not so much to read into Paul their own ideas as to listen patiently to what his teaching contains. This surely is the supreme value of Dr Hunter's little book' (Christian).
