This book provides new ethnographic perspectives on the
intersections between deportation, anxiety, and justice. As an
instrument for controlling international migration, deportation
policies may be justified by public authorities as measures
responding to anxieties over (unregulated) migration. At the same
time, they also bring out uncertainty and unrest to deportable and
deported migrants as well as to their social and institutional
environments, in which this act of the state may appear deeply
unjust. Providing new and complementary insights into what
'deportation' as a legal and policy measure actually embraces in
social reality, this book argues for an understanding of
deportation as a process that begins long before (and carries on
long after) the removal from one country to another has taken
place. It provides a transnational perspective over the
'deportation corridor', covering different places, sites, actors,
and institutions. Most importantly, it reasserts the emotional and
normative elements inherent to contemporary deportation policies
and practices, emphasising the interplay between deportation,
perceptions of justice, and national, institutional, and personal
anxieties. Written by leading experts in the field, the
contributions cover a broad spectrum of geographical sites,
deportation practices, and perspectives, bringing together a long
overdue addition to the current scholarship on deportation studies.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.
In the course of last two decades, the notion of care has become
prominent in the social and cultural sciences. As a result of this
proliferation of care in several disciplinary fields, we are
observing not only the expansion of its conceptual meaning, but
also an increasing imprecision in its usage. A growing amount of
literature focuses on the intersection between work, gender,
ethnicity, affect, and mobility regimes. In view of this growing
field of literature, Anthropological Perspectives on Care looks at
the notion of care from an anthropological perspective.
Complementing earlier approaches, Alber and Drotbohm argue that an
interpretation of care in relation to three different concepts,
namely work, kinship and the life-course, will facilitate empirical
and conceptual distinctions between the different activities that
are labeled as care.

Der Sammelband arbeitet den Beitrag von Reflexivitat fur das
Verstandnis der Beziehung von Kultur, Gesellschaft und Migration
anhand von drei Schwerpunkten heraus: 1. Politiken kultureller
Differenz 2. Transnationale Perspektiven 3. Ethnizitat und
Diversitat. Dafur werden Autorinnen und Autoren mit
unterschiedlichen disziplinaren Hintergrunden aus Deutschland,
Osterreich, der Schweiz und den USA zusammengefuhrt. Im Zentrum
steht die Beziehung zwischen der intellektuellen Krise, welche die
bisherigen Grundbegriffe der Integrations- und Migrationsforschung
erfasst hat, und der Entwicklung neuer thematischer Zuschnitte,
theoretischer Konzepte und Forschungsansatze.
