The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of migration from Asian countries on the rural areas of the Russian region using the example of the Chelyabinsk region. Addressing this problem allowed us to answer the following questions: what objects in rural areas are labeled as “migrant” and what are the assessments of this phenomenon by the public? Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, natural population decline is growing. Restricting international migration has shown that migrants are very important for the Russian agricultural sector. The decline in the population in rural areas of Russia, the deterioration of the ecological situation in the Central Asian region shows the need for research on migration to the countryside. There is a high probability that after the removal of several restrictions, we will see an increase in the migration flow to some areas of the countryside (greenhouses, workers' hostels, empty villages). For this study, we applied a set of ethnographic and ethno-sociological methods: participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and massive ethno-sociological survey conducted within the framework of the RFBR and Chelyabinsk region project “Asian vector of migration to the Chelyabinsk region: historical retrospective, forecasts and risks”. In total, during the project, 150 hours of included observation were implemented. In 2021, 49 in-depth interviews were collected with residents of the Chelyabinsk region and 37 with migrants from Central Asia. The sample of objects for observation and establishment of contacts with informants included: greenhouses for growing vegetables, garden associations, settlements in the study areas, rural shops, etc. The focus of xenophobic sentiments may shift from large cities to suburbs and villages, where new objects are being built, labeled as “migrants” (greenhouses, dormitories for migrants). "Chinese" greenhouses are no longer perceived as objects directly related to the presence of the Chinese, but are associated with migrants in general. Greenhouse complexes, where the main contingent is made up of migrants from the Central Asia, seem to be perceived as "Chinese" by inertia. All negative characteristics and parameters that were attributed to them are automatically extended to all greenhouses where there are “others”.

This letter is regarding tackling the highly infectious coronavirus disease (COVID-19).Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread across the globe, causing a worldwide pandemic. The total number of cases across the globe is about 11.6 million with over 5 lakh deaths. The number of individuals detected is always less than the actual number of infected, in nearly all respiratory viral pandemics. Rapid Point-of-Care Antigen detection test can detect SARS-CoV-2 early in the field setting. It has moderate sensitivity and high specificity yet limited availability. This test can be employed in the hospitals and containment zones and would aid in contact tracing, isolation of the affected individuals, localized containment and directing quarantine measures. IgG antibodies usually appear after one week of onset of infection and may last for several months. Serosurveys that detect these antibodies using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) help in the assessment of asymptomatic infection in close contacts, enhance the current understanding of the spread of disease, individual’s immune status and in identifying potential plasma donors. Case fatality rate is positively associated with SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence as was demonstrated in the survey conducted in the Spanish population. Immuno-compromised patients, healthcare workers, relatively young working population comprising of bankers, media persons, individuals working at airports, overseas operations and industries, staff in municipal bodies, shopkeepers, vendors, courier services, telecommunication offices, drivers of hospital ambulances, hearse vans, buses, auto-rickshaw, taxies; bus conductors, farmers, electricity workers, migrant labourers who have travelled back from urban and peri-urban areas to rural/tribal; inhabitants of hard to reach areas, prisoners, densely populated regions of the country as well as natives after coming in contact with returned migrant; police and security personnel, those staying in institutional settings and hostels and inhabitants of containment zones should all be tested for the presence of antibodies against the virus.

The Department of Architecture at the University of Pretoria is working in the South African housing context while gaining knowledge of such issues worldwide. Various innovations are being carried out in terms of housing design and delivery methods in South Africa. Through a methodical approach to design, it is believed that future architects will be able to answer to contextual needs without compromising the high standard of design expected by the Department. This paper evaluates an exercise in open building principles, carried out in 2003, with post−graduate architecture and interior architecture students at the University. The focus was the application of open building principles from the urban design level to that of the building and the residential units. It involved the design of social housing and the upgrading of existing workers’ hostels into family units as well as the provision of social amenities. Students were to design various types of housing, showing alternative ways of ‘living’ and study housing in the area. The project involved close interaction with community representatives. The area of study was located in Soshanguve, a township with predominantly black inhabitants, situated to the northwest of Pretoria. The previous political dispensation designated specific areas on the outskirts of the city as locations for black migrant workers, known as townships. Subsequently these townships have become cities in themselves, housing a large portion of the total population of Pretoria. It is here that there is a need for urban development and social housing. Soshanguve offered an excellent opportunity for learning and the dissemination of good design principles in housing design. A debate on the relevance of open building to South Africa has been initiated. It is concluded that open building systems are an effective tool to achieve diversity and can accommodate for wider sectors of the population.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the life stories of migrant workers in Israel by analyzing different aspects of the information behavior that emerged from their narratives through a transitional perspective.Design/methodology/approachNarratives are a human way of communication that focuses on the stories people tell about themselves, their inner thoughts, their states of mind and how they perceive their own reality. In total, 20 Spanish-speaking domestic migrant workers were interviewed. The data collected form the narratives were study draws from the transitional theory.FindingsThe holistic phase of the content analysis revealed that participants experienced information poverty based on socioeconomic factors and perceptions of social exclusion, vulnerability and hostile surroundings. The content analysis yielded a theory of transitional information behavior that reflects the three stages of the migration process: ending of a new reality, a period of confusion and a sense of belonging. The theory encompasses four elements: process, disconnectedness, perceptions and patterns of response.Originality/valueThe study proposes an innovative look at information behavior of migrants by integrating a transitional perspective into the life stories of participants.

In this article, we examine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labor conditions of domestic workers in the epicenter of the United States. We focus our analysis on the symbolic categorization of domestic work as “essential labor.” While domestic workers are lauded as heroes in public discourse, we argue that this symbolic recognition does not extend to material remuneration. Instead, we find that labor conditions better fit their categorization as expendable essential workers, meaning those whose essential labor is magnified during the pandemic but whose work remains materially undervalued. Data used in this article draw from observations of more than 30 hours of virtual town hall meetings on the pandemic hosted by migrant domestic worker advocacy groups in Los Angeles and New York.

The article is devoted to an urgent criminological problem connected with the insufficiently controlled and illegal external labor migration into the Russian Federation, which poses a considerable threat to its national interests and public safety. The author presents and analyzes new statistical data regarding the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of crimes committed by labor migrants in Russia as well as their other criminologically relevant characteristics, he singles out and describes economic, psychological, legal and socio-political prerequisites and factors of crimes committed by labor migrants in Russia. It is noted that modern Russian society is characterized by worsening criminogenic situation and processes that lead to hostile and aggressive behavior and intolerance towards labor migrants, which exacerbates both the criminal situation and the interethnic and interfaith conflicts and increases the manifestations of everyday xenophobia, migrant phobia, and nationalism from the locals. The author draws attention to the fact that criminogenic factors in the labor migrants’ environment are mainly connected with a low degree of social adaptation, acculturation and integration of labor migrants into the Russian social and cultural environment due to their poor knowledge of the Russian language, history and culture, the basics of Russian legislation, traditions and customs of social interaction, the absence of a substantial and constant intercultural dialogue or productive information exchange, comprehensive and resourced state and municipal projects and programs aimed at the socialization, successful integration, and social support of labor migrants. In this connection, the author suggests new, effective and optimal anti-criminogenic directions and formats of integration and adaptation work with labor migrants living and working in the Russian Federation that could improve their law abidance, general and legal culture, responsible attitude to social norms; the author also outlines prospective measures of general and special prevention of crimes committed by external migrants.

In response to the increase in international migration to Europe over recent years, questions have arisen on how social work practice can respond to the safeguarding risks in migrant camps at borders and to those within the UK who are denied or have restricted access to services. Social Workers Without Borders (SWWB) is a group of volunteers using their professional skills in this context. A qualitative study into the motivations of some of these social workers sought to better understand and theorise the group’s work. The research found that practitioners identified strongly with values of social justice, driving their practice within SWWB and elsewhere. Social work as a profession was conceived of as essentially political, having a role to play in making change on a societal level, along with supporting individuals. SWWB was found to provide an opportunity for participants to practice in a way which they felt was in accordance with their personal values and was effective with migrants. The organisation is described as offering an important critical space for contemporary social work practice with migrants and as a vehicle for a collective professional voice. Several participants placed their work with SWWB in the context of social work as an international profession, whose shared values have the potential to respond to the pressures of hostile immigration policies of national governments.

Marine fisheries are undeniably important to Taiwan in terms of economic development and industrial strategies. In the past 10 years, Taiwan’s fishery GDP accounted for 14% to 21% of all agriculture, forestry, fishery, and animal husbandry, which is higher than both animal husbandry and forestry. Since the domestic population structure of Taiwan has changed, the domestic fishery industrial labor force has gradually been replaced by migrant fishing workers. The issue of migrant fishing workers’ protection has received attention from non-governmental organizations, and cross-national recruitment administration has become the greatest challenge faced by Taiwan’s authority. Therefore, this paper describes the necessary protection of the labor conditions and interests of migrant fishermen by analyzing their status and human rights protection in the historical development of Taiwan's marine fisheries. In addition, considering the well-being of migrant fishing workers, this paper conducts a feasibility assessment on the operation of the " Nan-Fang-Ao Fishermen's Hostel" at the Nan-Fang-Ao Fishing Harbor and illustrates the urgent need to re-examine the migrant fishing workers’ protection. This paper suggests that the government agencies should actively advise employers to accept migrant fishermen's requests for better living environments onshore and guarantee basic living conditions.

Depuis 1997, les foyers de travailleurs migrants sont inscrits au Plan de Traitement les transformant en résidences sociales. Ces transformations visent, d’une part, une mise aux normes de salubrité et de sécurité des bâtiments construits dans les années 1960 et 1970 devenus vétustes et d’autre part, la transformation de leurs espaces de vie. Le foyer subsaharien auparavant caractérisé par ces espaces exclusivement collectifs voit son architecture individualisée et ses pratiques spatiales, en particulier collectives, encadrées par de nouveaux règlements intérieurs.Au travers d'une ethnographie réalisée auprès d’habitants originaires de la vallée du Fleuve Sénégal de trois résidences franciliennes à Paris, Saint-Denis et Stains, entre 2016 et 2020, la thèse se propose d’analyser les processus d’appropriation des nouveaux espaces de la résidence post-résidentialisation.Cette thèse met en lumière la réorganisation du quotidien par les habitants et la réappropriation de leurs espaces de vie face aux gestionnaires. En effet, au cœur des espaces individualisés, le quotidien habité devient résistant lorsqu’il tente de maintenir la visibilité voire l’existence des collectifs habitants entre les murs de la nouvelle résidence sociale. C’est cette permanence du collectif malgré la résidentialisation, sa diffraction au fil des espaces (individuel, collectif et intermédiaire) et sa régulation par la pluralité des entrepreneurs de morale (gestionnaires et habitants) que cette thèse analyse. Pluriel, ces collectifs laissent apparaître les nombreuses relations de pouvoir qui traversent la résidence, entre résidents et gestionnaires, mais également au sein du groupe résident qui semble alors bien plus hétérogène que les discours officiels semblent le présenterSince 1997, migrant workers' hostels called foyers have been included in a nation-wide Plan transforming them into social residences. These transformations serve two purposes. The first one is to bring the buildings built in the 1960s and 1970, and which have become decrepit, up to health and safety standards. The second purpose is to transform the foyers’ living spaces. Sub-Saharan foyers, previously characterized by their exclusively collective spaces, have thus seen their architecture individualized and their spatial practices, particularly collective, framed by new internal regulations.Using an ethnographic project conducted with residents from the Senegal River Valley in three residences located in Paris, Saint-Denis and Stains (all in Ile-de-France), between 2016 and 2020, this thesis aims to analyze the processes through which the residents appropriate the new spaces of the post-residentialization residence.This thesis highlights how the inhabitants reorganize their daily life and try to reappropriate their living spaces, facing the managers. Indeed, in the heart of the individualized spaces, the inhabited daily life becomes an act of resistance, as it tries to maintain alive and visible the collectives of inhabitants within the walls of the new social residence. This thesis analyses the permanence of the collective despite the residentialization, its diffraction over the spaces (individual, collective and intermediate) and its regulation by a plurality of moral entrepreneurs (managers and inhabitants). These plural collectives reveal the numerous power relations that run through the residence, between residents and managers, but also within the resident group, which appears to be much more heterogeneous than the official speeches show it to be

Unlike many of their North African and West African compatriots who reunified with family and settled in France in the 1970s and 80s, the decision of migrant worker hostel residents not to return definitively to places of origin at retirement is puzzling. Firstly, it calls into question the assumptions of the ‘myth of return’ literature, which explains non-return on the basis of family localisation. In the case of ‘geographically-single’ hostel residents, however, the grounds for non-return cannot be family localisation, since the men’s families remain in places of origin. Secondly, older hostel residents also remain unmoved by the financial incentives of a return homewards, where their French state pensions would have far greater purchasing power. Instead of definitive return, the overwhelming preference of hostel residents is for back-and-forth migration, between the hostel in France and communities of origin. The aim of this dissertation is to resolve this puzzle, by asking: What explains the hostel residents’ preference for back-and-forth mobility over definitive return at retirement? In order to make sense of these mobility decisions, several theories of migration are presented and evaluated against qualitative data from a multi-sited research design incorporating ethnography, life story and semi-structured interviews, and archive material. This fieldwork was carried out across France, Morocco and Senegal. Although no one theory adequately accounts for all the phenomena observed, the added value of each theory becomes most apparent when levels of analysis are kept distinct: at the household level as regards remittances; at the kinship/village level as regards re-integration in the home context; at the meso-level of ethnic communities in terms of migrants’ transnational ties; and at the macro-level of social systems concerning inclusion in healthcare and administrative organisations. Widening the focus beyond the puzzle/dilemma of late-in-life mobility, the thesis concludes by questioning what ‘home’ can mean for the retired hostel residents. An innovative way of theorising home – building on conventional conceptions of home based on territory and community – is outlined, arguing that to be ‘at home’ can also mean to be ‘included’ in different ‘social systems’. With this argument the thesis aims to contribute to broader debates on what it means for immigrants to belong and achieve inclusion in society.

This thesis addresses the relationship between Sri Lankan international domestic workers in Cyprus and their Cypriot hosts. It illustrates the diversity of their daily experiences and analyses their relationship through a conceptual framework of intimacy and distance. The ethnography reveals how symbolic violence is expressed through various means of intimacy and distance in the relationship between domestic workers and hosts from the macro-state level to the micro- level of personal interactions. Hosts are automatically situated in a more powerful position in the relationship and various factors reinforce their dominant positioning. Migrants are in a much less powerful position and utilise the few resources available to them to enhance their chances of 'success' abroad. Social networking is often the most accessible resource to develop migrants' opportunities abroad and has the capacity to contest hosts' authority. Cypriot hosts employ domestic workers to enhance their lifestyle and also to reflect their affluent social status among the larger host community. In the household, migrants are compelled to form intimate relationships with hosts, while hosts may utilise strategic forms of intimacy with migrants. In this way, hosts reinforce their power and authority over migrants through intimacy, while they simultaneously demand social distance from workers. In the public sphere, hosts degrade migrant identities, while these adverse associations disappear within hosts' households. Thus, migrants assume ambivalent positions in which their roles within the host family and society remain uncertain, insecure, and hesitant to define themselves. I conclude by arguing that this ambivalence between intimacy and social distance demonstrates the symbolic violence that migrants encounter from hosts. This tension in their relationship reflects hosts' more powerful positions and desire to retain that position, while migrants understand their lower positioning and 1utilise the resources available to them to improve their social positionings back home.

M.A.This chapter has been dedicated towards painting a picture of the quality of life issues regarding migrant workers living in hostels. The results and findings as interpreted has brought about useful information that will be utilised to draw conclusions and recommendations. Quality of Life of Migrant Workers at Eskom The findings have reconfirmed who the migrant worker is in terms of the description given by Leatt (1981) which was the definition adopted for the study. The indices drawn from the objective and subjective indicators of quality of life which were adopted from Moller, Schlemmer and Du Toit's (1987) were used as the basis from which the interview schedule was drawn, and has proved useful. Reference is made in particular to questions 12,13 and 14. Relevant construct for quality of life were found, with more usable constructs from questions 12 and 13. Furthermore the statistical analysis of the vector of the mean test scores referring to the HOT 1 has also given useful information as it enabled the student to analyse three variables independently and jointly see section 3.3. Cross tabulations representing correlations between indices created out of quality of life indicators namely core quality of life issues as identified by Question(s) 12,13 and 14 and the objective indicators of quality of life, namely accommodation, the intake of nutritious food, and recreation practices. There is a clear demonstration of quality of life issues that should be looked at if the quality of life of migrant workers living in hostels has to be improved. Although there are many diverse quality of life issues identified in the study the three that were selected with the framework of this study has given usable information. The next chapter will address the conclusions and recommendations.

AbstractBased on six months of ethnographic research in the maternity clinic of a major Athens public hospital in 2017, this chapter employs the conceptual lens of “hospitality” to analyze relationships that formed around the care of pregnant migrants arriving in Greece since 2015. Permanent health-care personnel, mostly midwives, are the hosts; guests include migrant women, NGO workers that accompany them to the hospital, Greek Roma maternity patients, obstetrics residents, and the native ethnographer herself. The focus is on pregnant migrants; the other guests provide comparative fodder to flesh out the subjectivity of the hosts. Through an ethnographic reconstruction of the microcosm of the clinic as a space of care, sovereignty, and everyday life, the chapter takes on two theoretical issues: the problem of scale and the argument that the hierarchical character of hospitality is incompatible with a rights-based framework. Critiques to the use of the host-guest trope as a frame for the analysis of relations between migrants and receiving states and societies are well heeded. Yet I demonstrate that guest-host dynamics are very much operative in the interaction between state-employed, permanent health-care personnel and migrants. My analysis highlights the limits and capacities of hospitality’s scalar transpositions, as well as the critical potential of hospitality as a lens that elucidates how legally guaranteed migrants’ rights are accessed and granted in practice; hospitality and rights thus emerge as complementary rather than opposing structural and explanatory frameworks.

This chapter considers the position of migrants in the UK who experience severe labour exploitation. It addresses how — or whether — the emerging ‘modern slavery complex’ can adequately respond to the production and continuation of unfree labour relationships that produce conditions now grouped under the umbrella of ‘modern slavery’. It starts from the point of understanding severe labour exploitation as emerging within a set of multidimensional processes embedded in the operation of labour markets and economies. This includes employer relationships with employees, migrants' work and migration trajectories, and socio-economic and family status. For migrant workers, the backdrop of hostile immigration policies and politics is an important framer.

Abstract The chapter covers a broad swathe of South African cultural histories but keeps the focus on the performative aspects of culture. It situates praise poetry as the key genre that operated with deep connective roots across a number of languages and dialects and interwoven histories of the southern African region. It argues for a more holistic understanding of how praise poetry worked at both a personal and wider social level and makes a case for understanding its diplomatic roles as a point of contact between societies that moved between stability and flux over a long period. It also moves the discussion into the contemporary era and shows its operation in apartheid and post-apartheid settings in South Africa. As a point of contrast, still focusing on performative genres, the chapter explores smaller sung genres with their roots in older forms. This cluster of genres is linked to music made by migrants, both men and women, who move for work or for adventure from their settled homes to more densely populated areas of South Africa. In some cases, such as the acapella song by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, migrant music has had a global reach, but it has links to the ongoing practice of migrants making song in order to make a world and speak out an identity for themselves in a hostile space. The chapter links three migrant genres and shows how some are shaped distinctively by women as well as by men.

The chapter traces the history of several families whose ancestors migrated as indentured labourers to sugar plantations in Fiji, the Caribbean, and to the French colonies of Réunion and New Caledonia. Once indenture ended these migrant workers travelled to Australia in search of a better life. These stories of migration across imperial boundaries, struggle against racial discrimination and restrictive immigration rules offer evidence of agency and enterprise, rather than benign profiles of helpless indentured labourers. This chapter sheds new light on the issues of gender and agency in migrant lives through the stories of matriarchs who showed courage and enterprise in keeping their families united and making a living in the hostile environment of colonial Australia. It also traces intergenerational mobility and shows how the later generations proudly reconstruct that genealogy of displacement, discrimination and agency as badges of their historic transnational identity.

This chapter examines the experience of British Antilleans with hostile environments in Cuba and the Dominican Republic during the early twentieth century. It provides relevant knowledge of a wider history of migration to properly contextualize the discrimination against the Black British diaspora before the post–World War II migrations to Britain. The chapter shows how British government officials operated as managers of colonial labor in the Caribbean, disregarding the interests of British Caribbean workers in Hispanic territories and disavowing their claims to British imperial allegiance. The chapter thus bridges a fractured historical narrative that emerged during the 2018 Windrush scandal in Britain, when the lives of postwar Caribbean migrants to the United Kingdom were destroyed by the hostile environment migration policy of the British government.

This chapter examines the challenges for grassroots social work that emerge when states fail or refuse to meet basic requirements for the protection of asylum-seekers, or when states choose to neglect or even expel them, thereby generating a racialised hostile environment. It focuses on de facto divided Cyprus, examining issues pertaining to overcoming the ethnic and racial discrimination faced by migrants and asylum-seekers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, measures were introduced which have had a lasting effect in reshaping the rights of citizens and non-citizens, exacerbating old divisions and contradictions and configuring new ones. As a result, we have seen the derogation of rights, as well as the resurgence of racist ideologies. This has impacted intensively on the rights of non-citizens (asylum-seekers, refugees and migrants). It is important to understand these current processes in historical context. Since British colonial times, official state-sanctioned social work in Cyprus has been one of complicity rather than resistance. Social work was shaped by the history of the country’s political conflict and socioeconomic development. With independence in 1960, social work was reshaped by the protracted ethnic conflict (1963–74) leading up to the 1974 coup by the Greek junta and invasion by Turkish troops that resulted in the de facto division of the country. The north of the island, which is majority Turkish Cypriot and de facto governed by the non-recognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus remains economically less prosperous than the south. The south is majority Greek Cypriot and hosts the internationally recognised government of the Republic of Cyprus. Efforts to resolve the Cyprus problem have failed and, as a result, peace is maintained via a United Nations-controlled buffer zone (called ‘the Green Line’); except for a few checkpoints that allow for crossings, the Green Line has strong military presence on both sides but is the main entry point for asylum-seekers. Cyprus has seen an unprecedented growth in the numbers of asylum applications as other routes to the EU, such as the Aegean Sea, have become blocked. These are major factors reshaping social work, both the complicit practice as well as the non-state social-work-as-resistance. The story of migration and asylum is a major issue in Cyprus and is influenced by geographical factors, the division of the country and the troubled Cyprus–Greece–Turkey triangle. This is the context that social work ‘from below’ is emerging contra to the state-sponsored social work, which is either outright hostile or simply failing at moments of necessity. We are witnessing praxis-based initiatives, manifested in the form of solidarity work emerging out of a humanitarian crisis. The chapter explores the potential for solidarity on the ground in Cyprus and examines the processes of remaking radical social work and politics from below.

The story of the Young Lords is intoxicating to many because it resonates with the suffering and aspirations of millions of young people who are outsiders in America. Like the children of NAFTA—migrants from Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America during in the 1980s and 1990s— the Young Lords also underwent the crucible of migration as children. Their parents were the country’s superexploited workers, heavily concentrated in the lowest-paid, dirtiest, and most precarious and dangerous sectors of the economy. And Like migrants today, Puerto Ricans were blamed for America’s problems. As translators and cultural interlocutors between their parents and America’s hostile bureaucracies, the Young Lords gained a second sight. With it, they gave their generation the language and analysis to make sense of the trauma produced by the large-scale economic and political forces that massively displaced their parents from their homeland. They also helped their peers understand their place in American society as exploited, racialized, colonial people and the structural barriers they faced in an increasingly deindustrialized and dilapidated city. In struggle, they discovered who they were and asserted their place in America.

This study explored how measures to curtail the spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19) in Vietnam affected the livelihoods and food and nutrition security of internal migrant workers. While Vietnam has made impressive progress towards food security in the past decades, marginalised groups of people such as ethnic minorities and migrants continue to face significant challenges. The project team investigated how the pandemic affected the precarity of these groups’ income-generating opportunities and how the level of income generated affected the quality, as well as the quantity, of food consumed by migrant workers in Hanoi, the capital, and the Bac Ninh province, which hosts large industrial zones. Our research shows that income for migrant workers significantly reduced as a result of Covid-19-related lockdown measures.
