Berghahn Books is proud to be partnering with Knowledge Unlatched to present the Berghahn Migration and Development Studies collection<\/a>. Every year until 2023 we are adding 20 front-list titles to the collection, covering the topics of international migration and movement as well as the social implications of economic and environmental change for communities. As libraries and institutions sign up for the collection and pledge their financial support, KU is able to fund the \u2018unlatching\u2019 of these books, making them available as Open Access<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Open Access publication allows the work of academics to reach a wide audience and increases its impact by removing barriers to readership, benefiting the scholarly community as a whole. If you would like to find out more about how your library can sign up to the Migration and Development Studies collection, visit the Knowledge Unlatched Anthropology site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the support of a number of libraries, Berghahn Books has been able to secure 8 OA titles over the past two years. As more libraries sign on, we’ll be able to offer more books from the Migration and Development Studies collection as Open Access, with our goal being to have a total of 15 titles offered as OA over the next 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The collection includes titles from the Forced Migration<\/a> series as well as the Integration and Conflict Studies<\/a> and the Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology<\/a> series, among others. So far in 2021-23, pledges to the Migration and Development Studies collection have allowed us to make the following books Open Access<\/p>\n\n\n

Resettled Iraqi Refugees in the United States:<\/em> War, Refuge, Belonging, Participation, and Protest<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Jared Keyel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a very important book on a question of moral importance to the United States: namely, what does the U.S. government owe to Iraqis whose country has been shattered by long-term U.S. military intervention there? This book answers with a powerful message about the importance of Iraqi refugee resettlement in the U.S., and the encouragement of their democratic participation and inclusion in American society.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Marcia C.

Edited by Lotte Meinert and Susan Reynolds Whyte<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis wonderful book makes an important contribution to the study of African land and rural communities on a number of levels. There is a remarkable richness and diversity of empirical material, largely collected and described by researchers and writers from the region.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Julian Hopwood<\/strong>, London School of Economics<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe book efficiently presents links between local practice, landscape conservation, and cultural heritage, as needs to be sustained and promoted at a European scale for sustainable tourism, local development, and rural communities.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Luca Battaglini<\/strong>, University of Padova<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Things Happen: Community Participation and Disaster Reconstruction in Pakistan<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jane Murphy Thomas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI find the book to be truly remarkable and absolutely stand-alone in what it describes and what it does. As opposed to the usual disheartening tale of the failure of a disaster reconstruction (or development) project, detailed here is a totally successful post-disaster reconstruction achievement due to the express involvement throughout of the anthropological perspective and community participation.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Susanna Hoffman<\/strong>, Chair of The Risk and Disaster Commission of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnographic Sciences (IUAES)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In exploring how the migratory process unfolds in different stages of migrants\u2019 lives, the chapters in this collected volume broaden perspectives on mobility, offering insight into the way places, affects, and personhood are shaped by and connected to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Life: Exploring Dynamic Environments where Rivers Meet the Sea<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited by Franz Krause and Mark Harris

\u201cThis volume does more than assemble ethnographic studies of delta inhabitants from around the world. It weaves their experience into a sustained reflection on life in a volatile world of islands, reedbeds, coasts and swamps, a world ever made, unmade and remade, as much by spirits as by people, and as much by states and markets as by the elements of air, earth and water. Here, the lens of the delta affords rare insight into what it means to live downstream.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Tim Ingold<\/strong>, University of Aberdeen <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe book offers an important and much-needed contribution to the anthropological literature on displacement and humanitarianism, as well as to the interdisciplinary study of Middle Eastern refugees\u2026 it addresses an important gap in both academic and public debates on its subject matter in an eloquent and powerful way.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Secil Dagtas<\/strong>, University of Waterloo <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Corporate Paternalism: Material Renovation and Social Change in Times of Ruination <\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Christian Straube

\u201cChristian Straube\u2019s book is a fine-grained ethnography of dynamic living amidst the infrastructural remains of corporate paternalism in present day Zambia. It is less a story of how \u2018things fall apart\u2019 but rather one of things \u2018getting reassembled\u2019 in Mpatamatu. The author offers a bold conceptual framing of renovation within ruination and insights on built environments becoming sites for creative opportunity on the part of township residents\u2014its men, women, former miners-turned-teachers, and preachers.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Pamila Gupta<\/strong>, University of the Witwatersrand <\/p>\n\n\n\n
