This volume focuses on recent experiences of return migration to
Mexico and Central America from the United States. For most of the
twentieth century, return migration to the US was a normal part of
the migration process from Mexico and Central America, typically
resulting in the eventual permanent settlement of migrants in the
US. In recent years, however, such migration has become
involuntary, as a growing proportion of return migration is taking
place through formal orders of deportation. This book discusses
return migration to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras,
addressing different reasons for return, whether voluntary or
involuntary, and highlighting the unique challenges faced by
returnees to each region. Particular emphasis is placed on the lack
of government and institutional policies in place for returning
migrants who wish to attain work, training, or shelter in their
home countries. Finally, the authors take a look at the phenomenon
of migrants who can never return because they have disappeared
during the migration process. Through its multinational focus,
diverse thematic outlook, and use of ethnographic and survey
methods, this volume provides an original contribution to the topic
of return migration and broadens the scope of the literature
currently available. As such, this book will be important to
scholars and students interested in immigration policy and Latin
America as well as policy makers and activists.

This volume traces the development of the central highlands, one of
Peru's major mining regions. It draws on extensive fieldwork
carried out in Peru between 1970 and 1982, spanning a reforming
military government, reaction and a return to civilian politics
under Belaunde. Through historical material combined with field
studies of villages and of the major town of the region, Huancayo,
the book examines the economic and cultural processes underlying
the 'progressive' reputation of the region in Peru and in the
literature on development. Since the major enterprise of the
region, the Cerro de Pasco Mining Corporation, was, until the
1970s, foreign owned, a persisting theme is the type of economic
growth associated with and the distortions produced by, foreign
capitalist economic enclaves on predominantly peasant economies.
The political consequences are examined, showing the weakness of
regional interest groups and the failure of contemporary regional
development policies.
With many Asian countries experiencing increasing economic
growth and globalization, infectious diseases that were once
contained in certain pockets of the continent now proliferate
throughout its geographical area. It is the alarming prospect of
unchecked epidemics that makes this book so crucial. The chapters
cover the historical description of infectious diseases, analyze
the causes of them and even forecast outbreaks, as well as the
regional and global impact of these diseases. There is a pressing
need for public health professionals worldwide to know and
understand the variety of these infections, the methods through
which they are transmitted, and the ways to control and prevent
them. This comprehensive text offers them just that.
Originally published as 'Cities of Peasants', this highly-acclaimed
account of the expansion of capitalism in the developing world has
now been extensively rewritten and updated.
Focusing on Latin America, Bryan Roberts traces the evolution of
developing societies and their economies to the present. Taking
account of the move towards more 'open' economies, a shrinking of
the state and various transitions towards democracies, he shows how
urban growth has produced new patterns of social stratification,
creating opportunities for social mobility, but doing little to
decrease income inequality or political and social pressures.
Underlying social changes have broadened the practice of
citizenship in developing countries, limiting authoritarian rule
but within a context of entrenched social inequalities and
persisting political instability. This book conveys both the
flavour of life in the cities of the third world and the immediacy
of their problems.
Ancient Greek and Roman philosophy is often characterised in terms
of competitive individuals debating orally with one another in
public arenas. But it also developed over its long history a sense
in which philosophers might acknowledge some other particular
philosopher or group of philosophers as an authority and offer to
that authority explicit intellectual allegiance. This is most
obvious in the development after the classical period of the
philosophical 'schools' with agreed founders and, most importantly,
canonical founding texts. There also developed a tradition of
commentary, interpretation, and discussion of texts which itself
became a mode of philosophical debate. As time went on, the weight
of a growing tradition of reading and appealing to a certain corpus
of foundational texts began to shape how later antiquity viewed its
philosophical past and also how philosophical debate and inquiry
was conducted. In this book leading scholars explore aspects of
these important developments.
