Analysis of Spanish policies for the integration of immigrant schoolchildren
2016
The Organic Law on the Improvement of the National Education Quality (Ley Organica de Reforma de la Calidad Educativa) readdressed one of the most significant educational issues: educational policies related to immigrant students. Therefore, this is an appropriate moment to evaluate these types of policies in three singular Spanish regions: Madrid, Catalonia and Andalusia. This article presents an analysis of the measures taken in three Spanish regions: Madrid, Catalonia and Andalusia in response to students’ reception, acceptance and enrolment of immigrant students. A qualitative methodology based on the comparative method is used. Diverse similarities, but also specific characteristics an…

Live-in migrant care worker arrangements in Germany and the Netherlands. Motivations and justifications in family decision-making
2019
Private households in ageing societies increasingly employ live-in migrant carers (LIMCs) to care for relatives in need of 24/7 care and supervision. Whilst LIMC arrangements are a common practice in Germany, they are only recently emerging in the Netherlands. Taking this development as a starting point, this study uses the countries’ different long-term care (LTC) regimes as the analytical framework to explore and compare the motivations and justifications of German and Dutch family carers who opt for an LIMC arrangment. Findings show that Dutch and German LTC regimes impact differently the decision-making processes of families, as well as on patterns of justification, through a combinatio…
Asociaciones de inmigrantes, Estados y desarrollo entre España y Colombia. ¿Un nuevo campo social transnacional?
2017
A pesar de la distancia geografica, las asociaciones de inmigrantes colombianos en Espana han tenido una creciente incidencia en los asuntos locales de su pais de origen, y sus acciones han ido adquiriendo una progresiva dimension transnacional. Entre otras practicas, las asociaciones han implementado numerosos proyectos de desarrollo en Colombia que han implicado la movilizacion de redes verticales y horizontales, tanto en el pais de origen como en el de destino, en paralelo con el renovado interes de los Estados colombiano y espanol por dar soporte a esas acciones. En este articulo nos preguntamos en que medida estas dinamicas, inducidas por la migracion, podrian haber contribuido a la co…
The Sephardim of North Morocco, Zionism and Illegal Emigration to Israel Through the Spanish Cities of Ceuta and Melilla
2020
This text looks at the fluid intersection in the emergence and development of Zionism and the later Zionist-promoted emigration of Moroccan Jews to Israel from what was the Spanish Protectorate zone in Morocco and the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in the north of Sherifian state. This process has received less attention from scholars than similar events in the French zone. However, it has some particularities that merit specific attention. From the early years of contact between North Moroccan Jews and European Zionism, the strong cultural identity of the Sephardim in the region and the mobilization of a Spanish approach informed by philo-Sephardism marked an important difference wi…
Reversing the Trend: a Psychosocial Intervention on Young Immigrants in Sicily
2018
Intervention projects based on providing support for immigrants can offer a number of benefits with regard to the social inclusion of young immigrants. Therefore, the actions suggested in this proposal may not only create a network between institutions and the private sector capable of supporting the intervention of a host country, but may also help to reduce the risk of crime as well as advocating a sense of otherness and integration. The approach to the project, a psychosocial intervention carried out on four young Africans who reached Sicily after crossing the Sicilian Channel on a dilapidated boat, has chiefly been to provide the four individuals with the chance to revisit their origina…
The inclusion of non-western artistic traditions in cultural policy:Contrasting social justice and public diplomacy approaches
2017
On both sides of the Atlantic, the dissemination of non-Western artistic traditions among the general public has been hampered by the prevalence of Eurocentric aesthetic standards in cultural institutions and organizations. In recent years, however, some states have taken steps in order to increase the exposure of immigrant-origin artists in a variety of disciplines, including theatre, music, dance, literature, cinema and visual arts. This article offers a systematic comparison of two such initiatives that have been developed at the national level: the Equity Office of the Canada Council for the Arts and Spain’s network of cultural ‘Houses’ (Red de Casas). While the former was assigned a so…
Muñequitos rusos: la nostalgia y su contexto en la diáspora cubana
2015
Resumen: El presente articulo examina la importancia de la influencia sovietica en la Cuba revolucionaria como incentivo para la vinculacion afectiva transnacional entre emigrados cubanos, a traves del analisis de las entradas e interacciones del blog Munequitos Rusos, creado con el proposito de rescatar parte de la memoria colectiva de ese periodo reciente en la historia de la isla. Mi argumentacion se enfoca al consumo y produccion de “memorias mediaticas” en la diaspora, un espacio complejo que se caracteriza por la tension que ejercen el pais de origen y el de adopcion, en la vida cotidiana de los emigrados y en sus constantes intentos por definir sus lealtades e identidad. Parto de que…

2017
Resumen: Este artículo compara cuatro migraciones caribeñas hacia las cuatro metrópolis que dominan el Caribe hoy. Se trata de las migraciones desde territorios no-independientes del Caribe: desde Martinica/Guadalupe hacia Francia, Puerto Rico hacia los Estados Unidos, Surinam/Caribe Holandés hacia Holanda y Caribe Británico hacia el Reino Unido. El artículo no solamente compara los procesos de emigración sino también los procesos de incorporación al llegar a las cuatro metrópolis. La comparación nos da una idea fundamental acerca de las diferencias entre estas metrópolis en términos de ciudadanía, mito fundacional de nación, racismo, y política pública hacia las minorías racializadas.Palab…
