The Early Morning Phonecall
Somali Refugees' Remittances
Lindley, A.
As migration from poverty-stricken and conflict-affected countries continues to hit the headlines, this book focuses on an important counter-flow: the money that people send home. This book explores the dynamics, infrastructure, and far-reaching effects of remittances from the perspectives of people in the Somali regions and the diaspora. By ‘following the money’ the author opens a window on the everyday lives of people caught up in processes of conflict, migration, and development. The book demonstrates how, in the interstices of state disruption and globalisation, and in the shadow of violence and political uncertainty, life in the Somali regions goes on, subject to complex transnational forms of social, economic, and political innovation and change.

Akman, H. (ed)
“The anthology provides careful analysis based on rich empirical material that illuminates the complexity of the region (and of the migration processes that have occurred in the last thirty years) represented and acted upon as the Nordic…[Its] strength lies in its ability to pose central research questions at the crossroad between the making of the ‘Nordic’ and the original ways through which diasporic communities create gendered forms of belonging that transcend the nation-state. This ability to move between the local and the global through original and reflexive methodologies locates the anthology’s work within a broader international scholarship.” · Diana Mulinari, Center for Gender Studies, University of Lund

Servants of Culture
Paternalism, Policing, and Identity Politics in Vienna, 1700-1914
Natarajan, A.
Using a wide range of material including legal, criminal, literary, and political sources, Servants of Culture brings forward the previously neglected history of a mass migration of women from the Habsburg Empire’s countryside to work as servants for bourgeois households, inns and hotels during the second half of the 19th century. At the time, socio-political players claimed to want to improve the living and working conditions of these migrants but as Natarajan demonstrates these efforts resulted in an increase in surveillance and a restriction of freedoms for women and servants in Viennese history.
