Pflege in Zeiten der Pandemie. Wie sich Pflege durch Corona verändert hat

Abstract

to separate a nation from nationalism. When we turn to the publication, it is valuable to evidence how professionals are working – though they are attacked as protagonists of multiculturalism. The publication covers a broad range of crucial questions: how to deal with mixed integration in Italy? How to use clinical psychology to explore integration capacities? How to deal with trust, identity, and the mediator’s role? Moreover, the anthology presents a number of interesting case studies with respect to language, multicultural contexts and so on. In fact, a plethora of important issues to learn from. Three contributions deal with trafficking (apparently an increasing issue, which is often forgotten or at least underestimated). Sofija Georgievska (pp. 173–189) points to the increase and the importance of trafficking: ‘it is third in terms of criminal business after the drugs and arms trade’ (p. 173). Sic! – if you didn’t know, alas, your reviewer did not! A very instructive and informative contribution, which is emphasising the non-novelty of this issue, as trafficking has taken place in Europe for decades or more. Instead of giving up, the contribution refers to international law and how to defeat trafficking. The intention of the authors is to underline the complexity of the phenomenon, migration, and flight, and to expect the professionals to fight for the rights of migrants. They may play an important role, aiming at facilitating the relationships between migrant communities and host communities. As we know from here and there in Europa, this is not as easy as expected. Many citizens fear the ‘invasion’ and put pressure on politicians to maintain extreme and rigid regulations. Social democratic parties of the North were once upon a time cosmopolitan parties; this is not the case anymore. The Danish Social democratic party has turned into a nationalist party. Wonder what Marx or the Danish pioneers of the 1870s and 1880s would judge? Social democrats in first decades of the nineteenth century would have supported a German worker and not a Danish bourgeois. As Dylan once song, ‘The Times They Are A-Changin.’ Perhaps it is time to turn neoliberalism upside-down? At least, the evidence of this publication points to an increasing political responsibility of the professionals. We have experienced the lack of popular support. Let us do whatever we can to make this a populist issue and thereafter develop popular movements to change the course.
