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.
