I then approach Lauri Lemberg’s St. Croix Avenue and Paula Ivaska Robbins’ Below Rollstone Hill from the perspective of this concept. A comparative study of these novels enables me to detect and contextualise cases of double consciousness within both texts as related to Finnish immigrants in the United States. I also argue how this ‘double consciousness’ affects the lives and ethnic identities of Finnish immigrant characters. In line with a contextual analysis, a textual analysis in the form of close reading will also be undertaken in order to offer a better understanding of the functions of ‘double consciousness’ for Finnish characters in both literary works.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2021.1916475","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48783808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Queen’s Loyal ‘Others’ –the Metropolitan Jewish and Catholic Hierarchies, the Communal Press and the Diamond Jubilee of 1897","authors":"D.

Arguing that the Anglo-Jewish and English Catholic hierarchical discourses created at the time of the Jubilee reveal the continuing profound insecurities felt by the minority leaderships, the article will dissect the various ‘stories’ created around the events of the Jubilee, particularly in London. It will consider in turn how narratives were created stressing Victoria’s personal role of liberator; how a premium was placed by the hierarchies on the different demographic strands of the minority communities behaving in aropriate ‘English’ class roles; and how this narrative was complicated – first by Irish nationalism and migrant Jewish radicalism, and secondly by the prejudices of the wider British establishment. Ultimately it will contend that the events of the Jubilee revealed a continued exclusion of Jewish and Catholic groups from the British ruling class, and that anti-Catholic sectarianism and antisemitism was not solely a matter of economic discrimination and physical violence against working-class communities, but also subtler forms of prejudice against more prosperous Jews and Catholics.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2020.1855422","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43243795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the years 1914–20 they faced internment, expropriation, deportation and ultimately expulsion ‘back’ to Germany – all without much practical assistance or moral support from Berlin. How did this impact on their feelings towards the German fatherland? The volume’s focus is on belligerent states only. Yet in fact many of the questions it poses might equally be asked of countries that remained neutral. Switzerland would be a good example. Here we can find instances of ‘transnational volunteering’ in 1914, as many able-bodied men of Swiss origin returned from places of emigration across the world, and particularly from the Americas, to serve in the federal army at a time of national crisis. Urban histories of the First World War ‘need to pay particular attention to the geography of belligerence’, argues Pierre Purseigle, but they cannot be limited to metropolitan communities at war. Swiss towns and cities too grappled with problems like wartime migration, ‘recruiting and conscription, . . . organization of labour, and . . . shortages of coal or food’. And the Swiss people also ‘attempt[ed] to claim and exercise sovereignty over their sacrifice’, not least during the general strike (Landesstreik) of November 1918 (pp. 242–3). All in all, there is much more to be said about loyalties and national identities during the First World War. This volume nonetheless represents a solid and impressive base to start from.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2021.1890386","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45092049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is our opinion that the volume’s editors missed the mark when attempting to reach a novice audience interested in learning about Turkish secularism. Providing a list of abbreviations and an expansive chronological table tracing the Ottoman Era to present day (2017), Cambridge University Press attempted to condense a massive amount of time and information in a mere 300 pages. It would prove beneficial had discussion of topics presented in the text expanded, as many cannot be fully grasped in the limited scope. This book suffers due to a lack of editorial oversight: chapters are cluttered with superfluous information and seemingly persist for longer than necessary with each chapter roughly taking up 30–40 pages of text. What makes each chapter worth its read is Lord’s addition of conclusions for each chapter; each is a gem of a reward after a gruelling read that is both neatly and eloquently summed up in a page and a half. Lord meticulously researched the increased visibility of religious politics and the Islamisation of state and society under the current AKP government in Turkey. In doing so, such a narrative may be directly linked to the continued study of the integration of millions of Syrian refugees fleeing the civil war. Students and faculty of graduate programs in migration studies across the United States – among them, City University of New York’s M.A. Program in International Migration Studies, Clark University’s Master’s in International Development and Social Change, DePaul University’s M.S. in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, the University of San Francisco’s Master in Migration Studies, and Tufts University’s Feinstein Center’s graduate degree in Migration Studies – will find Ceren Lord’s Religious Politics in Turkey: From the Birth of the Republic to the AKP valuable for further assessing the many factors greatly impacting migration and immigration policies in contemporary and historical instances of mass mobilisation. The question of how the influx of refugees will impact the socio-political dynamic in Turkey as a result of migration is crucial to further understanding a subject area which, as current events suggest, will continue to rapidly evolve elsewhere in the world.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2021.1890391","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46637387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this essay, motives behind the reform are analysed and it is argued that these were based on a wish to speed up the integration of immigrants rather than on normative ideas about the nature of democracy. In fact, the reform was seen as a part of the emerging Swedish integration policy of the 1970s. The discursive construction of ‘the immigrant’ was another important factor. Most immigrants at the time came from other Nordic countries, and politicians saw them as culturally similar to Swedes. However, this would change after the reform was enacted as Nordic labour immigration was superseded by non-European refugee immigration and the new asylum seekers were seen as more or less ‘different’ to Swedes. Domestic political arguments such as these, rather than philosophical arguments, shaped the outcome of the Swedish decisions regarding voting rights for resident aliens.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2021.1877138","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46690483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of those anti-colonial activists monitored in Europe from the 1920s to the 1940s travelled to the colonies, taking part in national liberation struggles. In the era of decolonisation and the Cold War, Britain and France relied on the intelligence networks that had been developed over the previous half century. Policing Transnational Protest is a pioneering work in two ways. Firstly it brings together a history of policing activists and ‘subversives’ across Western Europe, exploring the co-operation between British, French and German agencies to monitor cross-border activity. Secondly it shifts the focus away from solely examining the period leading up to the First World War (which is the scope for most similar studies of transnational policing) and onto the inter-war period, as well as the Second World War. Daniel Brückenhaus has produced a valuable transnational study for scholars interested in the history of counter-terrorism and counter-subversion, which will be sure to inspire further studies on the interconnectedness of policing networks in the twentieth century.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2021.1890392","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48987548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
