This book examines the experiences of seasonal, migrant sugarcane
workers in Brazil, analyzing the deep-seated inequalities pervasive
in contemporary Brazil. Education, employment, income, health, and
relative political power are forefront in this study of the living
and working conditions of the transient population. Based on ten
years of qualitative research dominated by in-depth interviews with
migrant sugarcane workers, this project argues that the ills of the
sugarcane industry are symptomatic of an overarching problem of
unequal access to opportunities by all Brazilian citizens. The
project is unique in its use of a single industry as an expression
of the multifarious problems of socioeconomic, regional, and racial
inequality. The author explores details of the labor migration
experience with a central premise that the conditions are not a
direct outcome of the industry, but rather a manifestation of
fundamental inequalities rooted in Brazil's colonial history.
"Mass Migration in the World-System" offers diverse perspectives on
the political, economic, social and environmental impact of
international domestic migration. Written with a balance of
quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical contributions and
insights, this book brings to light the multiple experiences of
migrants across different zones of the world economy. By engaging
wide-ranging ideas and theoretical viewpoints of the migration
process, the labor market for immigrants, and the rights of
migrants, this book provides an important and much needed
interdisciplinary perspective on the issues of mass migration.

The current daily experiences of undocumented students as they
navigate the processes of entering and then thriving in Jesuit
colleges are explored alongside an investigation of the knowledge
and attitudes among staff and faculty about undocumented students
in their midst, and the institutional response to their presence.
Cutting across the fields of U.S. immigration policy, theory and
history, religion, law, and education, Undocumented and in College
delineates the historical and present-day contexts of immigration,
including the role of religious institutions. This unique volume,
based on an extensive two-year study (2010-12) of undocumented
students at Jesuit colleges in the United States and with
contributions from various scholars working within these
institutions, incorporates survey research and in-depth interviews
to present the perspectives of students, staff, and the
institutions.
Though colleges and universities are arguably paying more attention
to diversity and inclusion than ever before, to what extent do
their efforts result in more socially just campuses?
Intersectionality and Higher Education examines how race,
ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, sexual orientation, age,
disability, nationality, and other identities connect to produce
intersected campus experiences. Contributors look at both the
individual and institutional perspectives on issues like campus
climate, race, class, and gender disparities, LGBTQ student
experiences, undergraduate versus graduate students, faculty and
staff from varying socioeconomic backgrounds, students with
disabilities, undocumented students, and the intersections of two
or more of these topics. Taken together, this volume presents an
evidence-backed vision of how the twenty-first century higher
education landscape should evolve in order to meaningfully support
all participants, reduce marginalization, and reach for equity and
equality.
