Migrare significa volare via e scegliere, come fanno gli uccelli, un posto migliore, o che pensiamo tale. Francesca Paci, in ogni puntata, racconterà una storia di spostamento, di cambiamento di posizione, la storia di chi sceglie un altro luogo fisico, ma anche mentale. Buon viaggio.

Il secondo podcast di ActionAid, l'organizzazione non governativa impegnata in Italia e in numerosi contesti globali nel contrasto alle disuguaglianze, ha l'intento di raccontare la tematica delle migrazioni e degli sbarchi, fornendo uno strumento per comprendere il mondo "nascosto" dietro a questo fenomeno.

The audiobook argues that the border with Mexico should be completely open for Mexicans wishing to travel north. Up Against the Wall provides the background to understanding how the border has become a fraud, resulting in nothing more than the criminalization of Mexican and other migrants, the bloating of the mismanaged US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the deterioration of living standards along the frontier, and the enrichment of American employers.

For over a decade, human rights journalist Agus Morales has journeyed to the sites of the world's most brutal conflicts and spoken to the victims of violence and displacement. To Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Central African Republic. To Central America, the Congo, and the refugee camps of Jordan. To the Tibetan Parliament in exile in northern India. We are living in a time of massive global change, when negative images of refugees undermine the truth of their humiliation and suffering.

Whether valorized as the heartland or derided as flyover country, the Midwest became instantly notorious when COVID-19 infections skyrocketed among workers in meatpacking plants - and Americans feared for their meat supply. But the Midwest is not simply the place where animals are fed corn and then butchered. Native Midwesterner Kristy Nabhan-Warren spent years interviewing Iowans who work in the meatpacking industry, both native-born residents and recent migrants from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

Alessandra Ballerini, nota avvocatessa dei diritti umani per l'immigrazione, racconta le storie dei migranti.

The story of early Asian immigration to the United States is also one about race legislation and discrimination at a time when global populations were moving with more frequency and merging ahead of their ability to practically assimilate. The greatest involuntary migration in history took place as some 12.5 million Black African crossed the Atlantic as slaves.

Refugee High is a riveting chronicle of the 2017-18 school year at Sullivan High, a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric was at its height in the White House. Even as we follow teachers and administrators grappling with the everyday challenges facing many urban schools, we witness the complicated circumstances and unique education needs of refugee and immigrant children: Alejandro may be deported just days before he is scheduled to graduate; Shahina narrowly escapes an arranged marriage; and Esengo is shot at the beginning of the school year.

In the most impoverished neighborhood in New York City, the South Bronx, I help students that dropped out of high school achieve their goal and receive a high school diploma. The reason that I feel like I am in the right place for my job is because just like these "lost" students, I was going through a tough transition myself as I left my impoverished third-world country for a better opportunity. The toughest students are sometimes the best ones. I decided to publish this book to show that in each of one there is hope for a better future.

Out of all the issues we face in the United States, there are few as divisive as illegal immigration. This topic has intimidated politicians, created racial rifts among our communities, and has left us just as divided as we were during the Civil War. And that divide is growing. This collection of short but true stories illuminates the horrors faced along the border. As a former border patrol agent in Nogales, Arizona, and a missionary in Mexico, Marcus T. Livy has literally lived on both sides of the fence and on the topic of immigration.

In this rare account from within ICE detention facilities, 14 children are followed from their arrest by US Border Patrol to the day they exit facilities for unaccompanied minors. Preschoolers and teenagers, the kids offer a range of evocative backstories: A deaf and mute 15-year-old Mayan girl; a teen from India who has walked 3000 miles; a Guatemalan girl who has escaped domestic slavery and is on the run with her young siblings. Each child offers an account of their chaotic journey and the situation that drove them to enter the US illegally.

Losing Control is a vivid history of the past half century of immigration politics and policy. It is also a dramatic ground-level account of how the story took shape. Kammer describes the economic and cultural forces that both pushed millions of migrants from home communities in Latin America and pulled them northward to the US. He shows how the backlash gradually emerged from the frustrations of American workers and communities who felt overwhelmed by the influx and betrayed by their government.

Armed authorities watch from a military-grade surveillance tower as lines of people stream toward the security checkpoint, tickets in hand, anxious and excited to get through the gate. Few seem to notice or care that the US Border Patrol is monitoring the Super Bowl, as they have for years, one of the many ways that forces created to police the borders are now being used, in an increasingly militarized fashion, to survey and monitor the whole of American society. In fast-paced prose, Todd Miller sounds an alarm as he chronicles the changing landscape.

Illegal immigration is among the most challenging and divisive issues facing America.

A story of migration, I Belong tells the journey of Magdalena who left Uruguay in 2006 at the age of 18 to go study in Europe, and finds herself working in refugee camps in West and Central Africa 10 years later.
