Migrants : The Story of Us All
Migrants cuts through the toxic debates to tell the rich and collective stories of humankind's urge to move'Fascinating...Miller's perspective may be just what we need' Daily Telegraph'Enjoyable, provocative and timely' Spectator'Timely and empathetic: a rare combination on this most controversial issue' Remi Adekoya'Tremendous: blends the personal and the panoramic to great effect' Robert WinderHumans are, in fundamental ways, a migratory species, more so than any other land mammal.For most of our existence , we were all nomads, and some of us still are.Houses and permanent settlements are a relatively late development - dating back little more than twelve thousand years.Borders and passports are much more recent. From the Neanderthals, Alexander the Great, Christopher Columbus and Pocahontas to the African slave trade, Fu Manchu, and Barack Obama, Migrants shows us that it is only by understanding how migration and migrants have been viewed in the past, that we can re-set the terms of the modern-day debate about migration. Migrants presents us with an alternative history of the world, in which migration is restored to the heart of the human story. And in which humans migrate for a wide range of reasons: not just because of civil war, or poverty or climate change but also out of curiosity and a sense of adventure.On arrival, migrants are expected both to assimilate and encouraged to remain distinctive; to defend their heritage and adopt a new one.They are sub-human and super-human; romanticised and castigated, admired and abhorred.Migrants tells us that this is not a new narrative; this is the history of us all, part of everybody's backstory - for those who consider themselves migrants and those who do not.

Are most migrants peaceful?
Yes, the majority of migrants are peaceful individuals seeking better opportunities and a safe environment for themselves and their families. They often contribute positively to the communities they settle in, through their work, cultural exchange, and diverse perspectives. It is important to recognize that the actions of a few individuals should not be used to stereotype or generalize an entire group of people. It is essential to approach the issue of migration with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to promoting peace and inclusivity.
-
Are migrants a problem?
Migrants are not inherently a problem. Migration is a natural and historical phenomenon that has contributed to the diversity and growth of societies. However, challenges can arise when there are large influxes of migrants that strain resources and infrastructure in receiving countries. It is important for governments to manage migration effectively through policies that promote integration, protect human rights, and address the root causes of migration. Ultimately, migrants can bring valuable skills, perspectives, and contributions to their new communities.
-
Why don't migrants return?
Migrants often do not return to their home countries for a variety of reasons. One common reason is that they have established a new life in their host country, including finding employment, building a social network, and possibly starting a family. Additionally, the economic and political conditions in their home country may not have improved enough to warrant a return. There may also be legal or logistical barriers to returning, such as the difficulty of obtaining a new visa or the fear of persecution in their home country. Overall, the decision to not return is often a complex and personal one, influenced by a combination of factors.

How Media and Conflicts Make Migrants
The book explores how we understand global conflicts as they relate to the “European refugee crisis”, and draws on a range of empirical fieldwork carried out in the UK and Italy.It examines how global conflict has been constructed in both countries through media representations – in a climate of changing media habits, widespread mistrust, and fake news.In so doing, it examines the role played by historical amnesia about legacies of imperialism – and how this leads to a disavowal of responsibility for the causes why people flee their countries.The book explores how this understanding in turn shapes institutional and popular responses in receiving countries, ranging from hostility—such as the framing of refugees by politicians, as 'economic migrants' who are abusing the asylum system; to solidarity initiatives.Based on interviews and workshops with refugees in both countries, the book develops the concept of “migrantification” – in which people are made into migrants by the state, the media and members of society.In challenging the conventional expectation for immigrants to tell stories about their migration journey, the book explores experiences of discrimination as well as acts of resistance.It argues that listening to those on the sharpest end of the immigration system can provide much-needed perspective on global conflicts and inequalities which challenges common Eurocentric misconceptions.Interludes, interspersed between chapters, explore these issues in another way through songs, jokes and images. -- .

People Power : Why We Need More Migrants
Migration is one of the fundamental driving forces of change in the modern world.As regions such as the Middle East continue to experience instability, climate change is driving migration from Africa and Central Asia - these 'push factors' lead to increased migration throughout Europe.Yet despite being one of the fundamental issues of the modern age, the impact of migration on Western developed economies is dangerously misunderstood.Here, economics and migration expert Giles Merritt seeks to explode the ten most common myths about European migration.He shows how the west's aging population needs migrants, and demonstrates in clear and accessible writing how governments must adapt to increase migration to solve the challenges of the modern world.The result is a clear-eyed assessment of the issues, and a way forward for the west which preserves our political democracies by rejecting the politics of the right.

Brokered Homeland : Japanese Brazilian Migrants in Japan
Faced with an aging workforce, Japanese firms are hiring foreign workers in ever-increasing numbers.In 1990 Japan's government began encouraging the migration of Nikkeijin (overseas Japanese) who are presumed to assimilate more easily than are foreign nationals without a Japanese connection.More than 250,000 Nikkeijin, mainly from Brazil, now work in Japan.The interactions between Nikkeijin and natives, says Joshua Hotaka Roth, play a significant role in the emergence of an increasingly multicultural Japan.He uses the experiences of Japanese Brazilians in Japan to illuminate the racial, cultural, linguistic, and other criteria groups use to distinguish themselves from one another.Roth's analysis is enriched by on-site observations at festivals, in factories, and in community centers, as well as by interviews with workers, managers, employment brokers, and government officials.Considered both "essentially Japanese" and "foreign," nikkeijin benefit from preferential immigration policy, yet face economic and political strictures that marginalize them socially and deny them membership in local communities.Although the literature on immigration tends to blame native blue-collar workers for tense relations with migrants, Roth makes a compelling case for a more complex definition of the relationships among class, nativism, and foreign labor.Brokered Homeland is enlivened by Roth's own experience: in Japan, he came to think of himself as nikkeijin, rather than as Japanese-American.

Would Germany perish without migrants?
Germany would not necessarily perish without migrants, but it would certainly face significant challenges. Migrants have played a crucial role in Germany's economy, filling labor shortages and contributing to the country's overall growth. Without migrants, Germany would likely experience a decline in its workforce and a potential slowdown in economic productivity. Additionally, migrants have also brought cultural diversity and new perspectives to Germany, enriching the country's social fabric. Therefore, while Germany could survive without migrants, their absence would undoubtedly have a significant impact on the country's economy and society.

Would Germany collapse without migrants?
While migrants have played a significant role in Germany's economy and workforce, it is unlikely that the country would collapse without them. Germany has a strong economy and a well-developed social welfare system that would help it to continue functioning without migrants. However, migrants have contributed to filling labor shortages in certain industries and have helped to support the country's aging population, so their presence is important for the country's continued growth and prosperity.
