In this essay, Isis Semaj-Hall explores the intersections of being Jamaican, American, black, woman, and mother. Using what she terms a dub aesthetic, Semaj-Hall juxtaposes her circular migration with the Dominican characters in Junot Diaz’s fiction as well as the autobiographical story told by Jamaican author Anthony Winkler. Using Trinidadian-Canadian author Ramabai Espinet as a literary anchor, Semaj-Hall questions how the familiar memory becomes unfamiliar in the moment that it collides with present reality. Finally, Claudia Rankine is brought in as a way for the author to honor the impact that her black American experience with racism shades her perspective on Jamaican colorism. This article takes readers on an unexpected walk through Kingston, Jamaica, revealing Semaj-Hall’s daily negotiations with what it means to be “Back Home” in the place she had for so long nostalgiaized.

Economic Motives

In the recent decades the migration processes and circular migration are increasing worldwide and have become more and more complex. There has been a new type of international migration - back and forth international migration. Nowadays, job seeking in the international space, brain circulation, multiple citizenship and identity, property ownership and consumption at the place of origin and at destination residence result in completely new lifestyles in Central and Eastern Europe, too. After the disintegration of the socialist regime both in Serbia and Hungary, new types of emigrants from Serbia appeared in Hungary, namely students, highly qualified workers, entrepreneurs, elders and circulars. The most recent types of migrants along the Serbian-Hungarian border area are: economic emigrants (emigrant physical workers); creative class (entrepreneurs, businessmen, international traders); circulars and seasonal emigrants, as well as students. The hypothesis of this work is that the main motive of emigration from Serbia to Hungary is the economic motive, especially job-seeking. The analysis of emigration from Serbia to Hungary is based on the interviews and questionnaire-based research obtained among emigrants from Vojvodina to Hungary, who were living in Hungary or commuting there regularly between 2010 and 2013. The obtained data prove the hypothesis. The economic motives are present even when the emigrants do not stay in Hungary, but move off to more developed countries of the EU.

Female Genital

Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is a traditional harmful practice that migrates with people and has become a global phenomenon. Understanding how the diaspora resignifies and can change the tradition will allow us to measure the impact of transnational relations on information flows and decision making in a multisite space. The objective is to analyze the influence of migration on the practice of FGM/C with a participatory and circular methodology, focused on Gambian communities both in Spain and in The Gambia. The study shows the trends on how acculturation processes entail cultural change, both in Africa as well as in diaspora.

Livelihood transition occurs due to the increasingly narrow land of their farms.Keywords : farm households, land conversion, livelihood strategies ABSTRAK Konversi lahan merupakan suatu fenomena pemanfaatan lahan terhadap lahan pertanian menjadi non pertanian.

AbstractAs per the reports of WHO, the COVID-19, first reported in December 2019, put the whole world in an unprecedented crisis and lingering uncertainty with innumerable deaths, generalised economic depression, unemployment, quarantine, unavoidable lockdown, and travel-ban that was imposed globally as a necessity to tackle the pandemic. Among the populace, the migrants were found to be one of the most vulnerable groups in this lockdown, as their very livelihood came to a complete standstill. This review-paper aims to investigate in detail the multiple facets of adversities the migrants went through in India during the lockdown and the socio-psychological impact of circular migration. Following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, studies on migrant workers during COVID-19 and on circular migration were searched. Database searches on Scopus, PubMed, and PsychNet and manual searches on Google Scholar were carried out. From the initially identified 15,697 articles, 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria were chosen for review. The findings highlight the different plight of the migrants, who had the pressing need to head back home to safety despite the acute financial crisis and the travel problems. The poor quality of the relief camps with meagre rations and lack of facilities especially put the women and children in distress and generated a lot of psychosocial issues. The present study urges the mental health-care professionals to groom themselves for facing the challenges of a surge in mental illnesses by taking necessary measures. It also emphasises the need to establish a strong ethical alliance between the local population, health systems, local government mechanisms, and human rights associations in order to take a relook at the national migration policies.

Georgian Population

This paper deals with the migration practices of a Georgian population called the Tushetians and their recent developments. After an outline of the Tushetians’ traditional and contemporary migration patterns, details of migration to the Russian Federation, Spain and Greece are presented, followed by some reflections on the impact of these forms of migration on gender roles in the home villages. This leads to a more general discussion of the compatibility of Tushetian migration patterns with the European Union (EU) policy of circular migration, as well as the impact of the Eurozone crisis on migrants from post-socialist countries such as Georgia.

The Impact

This paper analyses Roma migration at both the macro- and meso-levels, taking into consideration global contexts, ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors, and structural conditions in both host and the home countries as well as in individuals’ communities. The first part of the paper analyses the push factors behind emigration, drawing mainly on quantitative findings from research conducted in a rural community in Transylvania, Romania. The second part of the article, however, goes beyond the statistical data and presents the impact of these push factors on individual lives by using the data collected through ethnographic methods and life histories recorded with local Roma people who take part in labour force migration – mostly circular migration – to western countries. The details provided within such life histories can offer a deeper understanding of the processes which the specific Roma community (and especially poorer community members) experienced both during socialism and after 1990; and in so do, shed new light on how the migration cycle is integrated into local social and economic practices.

The Impact

The phenomena accompanying the impact of large meteorites on the surface of the Moon or of the Earth can be examined on the basis of the theory of explosive phenomena if we assume that, instead of an exploding meteorite moving inside the rock, we have an explosive charge (equivalent in energy), situated at a certain distance under the surface.
