Slavery and forced migration in the antebellum South
\"American slavery in the antebellum period was characterized by a massive wave of forced migration as millions of slaves were moved across state lines to the expanding Southwest, scattered locally, and sold or hired out in towns and cities across the South. This book sheds new light on domestic forced migration by examining the experiences of American-born slave migrants from a comparative perspective. Juxtaposing and contrasting the experiences of long-distance, local, and urban slave migrants, it analyzes how different migrant groups anticipated, reacted to, and experienced forced removal, as well as how they adapted to their new homes\"-- Provided by publisher.

Employment Outcomes of Ethnic Minorities in Spain: Towards Increasing Economic Incorporation among Immigrants and the Second Generation?
This article examines the labour market outcomes of immigrants in Spain, a country that has become a migration destination only since the end of the 1990s. Differentiating between first and second generation of immigrant descent, we compare the labour market involvement of the main ethnic groups with the majority group. One particular focus is to understand which minorities have been hit the hardest by the Great Recession. To this end, we use data from the European Union Labour Force Survey for the years 2008 and 2014, and more specifically the two ad-hoc modules on the labour market situation of migrants. Analysing men and women separately, we run a set of multivariate logistic regression models to control for compositional differences. In this way, we examine ethnic gaps not only in labour force participation but also in the degree of underutilisation of human capital, measured as workers’ level of over-education as well as the incidence of involuntary part-time employment. Our results show that while most origin groups do not show significantly lower employment participation than the majority group, the employment quality of immigrants in terms of involuntary part-time work and over-education is substantially worse, especially since the crisis.

Becoming an African Diaspora in Australia
Becoming an African Diaspora in Australia extends debates on identities, cultures and notions of race and racism into new directions as it analyses the forms of interactional identities of African migrants in Australia. It de-naturalises the commonplace assumptions and imaginations about the cultures and identities of African diaspora communities, and probes the relevance and usefulness of identity markers such as country of origin, nationality, ethnicity, ethnic/heritage language and mother tongue. Current cultural frames of identity representation have so far failed to capture the complexities of everyday lived experiences of transnational individuals and groups. Therefore by drawing on fresh concepts and recent empirical evidence, this book invites the reader to revisit and rethink the vocabularies that we use to look at identity categories such as race, culture, language, ethnicity, nationality, and citizenship, and introduces a new language nesting model of diaspora identity. This book will be of great interest to all students of migration, diaspora, African and Australian studies.

Migrations from Southeast Asia to Western Europe: Historical and Economic Sources and Current Problems
This article considers the problem of population migration from Southeast Asia to Western European countries, on the one hand, and from China, India, and other Asian countries and territories to Southeast Asia, on the other. The formation of the model of metropolis−colony relations in Southeast Asia is shown; similarities and differences between the British and Dutch models of colonialism are revealed. The author analyzes the influence of Amsterdam’s imperial policy on the formation of the “Dutchness” of a cross-border identity, which had a significant impact on the model of the migration behavior of the inhabitants of the Dutch East Indies (modern Indonesia) and on the postcolonial interaction between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and independent Indonesia. The relationship between the economic development model of Indonesia and the migration activity of Indonesians, who increasingly prefer societies of vigorous economic growth of Northeast Asia and Australia to the former metropolis, is shown.
