This book focuses on the departure of Britain's 'surplus' women to
Australia and New Zealand organised by Victorian British female
emigration societies. Starting with an analysis of the surplus of
women question, it then explores the philanthropic nature of the
organisations (the Female Middle Class Emigration Society, the
Women's Emigration Society, the British Women's Emigration
Association, and the Church Emigration Society). The study of the
strict selection of distressed gentlewomen emigrants is followed by
an analysis of their marketing value, and an appraisal of women's
imperialism. Finally, this work shows that the female emigrants
under study partook in the consolidation of the colonial
middle-class.
The objective of The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises is to
deconstruct, question, and redefine through a critical lens what is
commonly understood as "migration crises." The volume covers a wide
range of historical, economic, social, political, and environmental
conditions that generate migration crises around the globe. At the
same time, it illuminates how the media and public officials play a
major role in framing migratory flows as crises. The volume brings
together an exceptional group of scholars from around the world to
critically examine migration crises and to revisit the notion of
crisis through the context in which permanent and non-permanent
migration flows occur. The Oxford Handbook of Migration Crises
offers an understanding of individuals in societies, socio-economic
structures, and group processes. Focusing on migrants' departures
and arrivals in all continents, this comprehensive handbook
explores the social dynamics of migration crises, with an emphasis
on factors that propel these flows as well as the actors that play
a role in classifying them and in addressing them. The volume is
organized into nine sections. The first section provides a
historical overview of the link between migration and crises. The
second looks at how migration crises are constructed, while the
third section contextualizes the causes and effects of protracted
conflicts in producing crises. The fourth focuses on the role of
climate and the environment in generating migration crises, while
the fifth section examines these migratory flows in migration
corridors and transit countries. The sixth section looks at policy
responses to migratory flows, The last three sections look at the
role media and visual culture, gender, and immigrant incorporation
play in migration crises.
This collection offers a response to the view that migration
disrupts national heritage. Investigating the mediation provided by
migrant art, it asks how we can rethink art history in a way that
uproots its reliance on space and place as stable definitions of
style. Beginning with an invaluable overview of migration studies
terminology and concepts, Art and migration opens dialogues between
academics of art history and migrations studies through a series of
essays and interviews. It also re-evaluates the cultural
understanding of borders and revisits the contours of the art world
- a supposedly globalised community re-assessed here as
structurally bordered by art market dynamics, career constraints,
gatekeeping and patronage networks. -- .
