What happens when the second generation – the children of immigrants – moves to their parents’ homeland? A Place in the Homeland: Turkish-German Return Migration answers this question for the Turkish-German second-generation, sons and daughters of the Turkish guestworkers and political refugees who migrated to Germany in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. Based on 71 in-depth narrative interviews, their life-stories of growing up in German industrial cities and then ‘returning’ to Turkey are traced through their experiences of childhood and socialisation, relocation to Turkey, earning a living, managing family and other relationships, adapting to an environment that many found challenging and developing new, hybrid identities in the ancestral homeland. The key finding is that ‘place matters’, and experiences are compared and contrasted between second-generation returnees in the megalopolis of Istanbul, the tourist city of Antalya and a range of provincial urban and rural environments in other regions of Turkey.

London has long been a magnet for migrants, millions of whom have been attracted by its economic, educational and cultural roles as a truly global city. This book examines recent European migration to the London region through the narrated experiences of a large number of younger migrants from ‘old’ and ‘new’ EU member states, of varying educational and skill backgrounds.The research opens multiple windows into the lives of young EU migrants from six different countries before and after the 2016 Referendum on 'Brexit'. A key concept which lies at the core of the analysis is the interrelationship between geographical mobility and the youth transition to adulthood. Among the dimensions documented are study and employment trajectories, housing and social inclusion, identity and belonging, and transnational ties. By paying attention to young people's own accounts of their mobile lives, the research pushes the boundaries of traditional understandings of youth transitions and life paths.As an indispensable account of young EU migrants during the Brexit process, the book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students across the social sciences, especially those interested in migration, youth studies and European studies, as well as researchers and policy-makers.

“Russell King has written the most definitive account of this grand American saga. Rajneeshpuram is rich storytelling.” —Chapman and Maclain Way, directors of Wild Wild Country In 1981, ambitious young Ma Anand Sheela transported the Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh to the United States to fulfill his dream of creating a utopia for his thousands of disciples. Four years later, the incendiary Rajneeshpuram commune in Oregon collapsed under the weight of audacious criminal conspiracies hatched in its inner sanctum, including the largest bioterrorism attack in US history, an unprecedented election fraud scheme, and multiple attempted murders. Rajneeshpuram explores how this extraordinary spiritual community, featured in the Netflix docuseries Wild Wild Country, went so wrong. Drawing from extensive interviews with former disciples and an exhaustive review of commune records, government and police files, and archival materials, author Russell King probes the charismatic power that Bhagwan (later known as Osho) and Sheela exercised over the community and the turbulent legal and political environment that left commune leaders ready to deceive, poison, and even murder to preserve their home and their master. Rajneeshpuram is a fresh examination of the Rajneesh story, using newly available information and interviews with high-ranking disciples who have never before shared their stories.

Disregarding the saying 'what goes on on tour stays on tour', Gentle Giant tells the story of the 'Jubilee All Blacks' through the eyes of player Ron King. Departing Hokitika in August 1935, we join Ron on the five month adventure that took him and his teammates to the other side of the world.At a time when rugby was particularly strong in the 'Home Countries', this story outlines the challenges the team faced on the field, as well as the expectations placed upon them as representatives of their country. In their ambassadorial role, they were expected to showcase how "New Zealand produces first class soldiers, first class footballers, and good fellows generally, as well as the best butter, excellent cheese, good mutton and the very best lamb".Gentle Giant is as much about the All Blacks' social programme as it is about the games the team played. It highlights a time when, with poor radio and no television, print media was paramount, and rugby writers set the scene for the rugby-following public.

This book explores how the real conditions and subjective conceptions of ageing and well-being are transformed when people move from one country to another. Focusing on ageing female migrants from Latvia in the UK and other European countries, this book is based on fifty life-history interviews with women aged 40s-60s. Empirical chapters concentrate on functional well-being in migration, which includes access to the economic citizenship of work, income, pensions, and accommodation, and on psychosocial well-being, and explores Latvian women’s experiences of intimate citizenship in migration. In addition, the authors’ research challenges the trope of vulnerability which generally surrounds the framing of older migrants’ lives. The study’s findings offer policy-makers insights into the realities of ageing working migrants and advocates for a more inclusive transnational citizenship, better working conditions, and ongoing care arrangements for older migrants post-retirement, either abroador back home.

This book focuses on the return of the diasporic Greek second generation to Greece, primarily in the first decade of the twenty-first century, and their evolving, often ambivalent, senses of belonging and conceptualizations of “home.” Drawing from a large-scale research project employing a multi-sited and multi-method comparative approach, Counter-Diaspora is a narrative ethnographic account of the lives and identities of second-generation Greek-Americans and Greek-Germans. Through an interdisciplinary gender and generational lens, the study examines lived migration experiences at three diasporic moments: growing up within the Greek diasporic setting in the United States and Germany; motivations for the counter-diasporic return; and experiences in the “homeland” of Greece. Research documents and analyzes a range of feelings and experiences associated with this “counter-diasporic” return to the ancestral homeland.Images and imaginations of the “homeland” are discussed and deconstructed, along with notions of “Greekness” mediated through diasporic encounters. Using extensive extracts from interviews, the authors explore the roles of, among other things, family solidarity, kinship, food, language, and religion, as well as the impact of “home-coming” visits on the decision to return to the ancestral “homeland.” The book also contributes to a reconceptualization of diaspora and a problematization of the notion of “second generation.”

This is an interactive children's book with colorful pictures of 247 big tractors pulling dry or refrigerator vans. Together the tractor and van combine to make up what is called an 18-wheeler. The 247 firms have over 148,600 tractor/trailers.Children and bored adult passengers use the book to search for and get points when they spot the 18-wheeler. Maybe they spot it on the interstate, or maybe at the travel stop when your whole family stops for food and fuel, or maybe they spot it as the driver takes a break along the highway. Did you ever play the "License Plate Game" and spent hours trying to find that license plate from Montana? How about the "Alphabet Game" and how difficult it was to find "Q" or "X"? Maybe you're young enough to remember playing them with your parents? Why don't you and your family search for 18-wheelers instead? They are a lot easier to spot and this book will provide the pictures Maybe Daddy and Johnny can compete against Mommy and Susie to see who can spot the greatest number.In addition to the pictures of 18-wheelers, there is a story that provides fun facts about what daddy sees, hauls, and does while on his trips. Like, did you ever see a train being carried on an 18-wheeler? Or how about a horse trailer that transports the Kentucky Derby winner from California to Churchill Downs in Kentucky? How about a map of the United States or information about where daddy sleeps, takes a shower, or spends his off time?It's a fun and challenging way to spend many hours while driving down the interstate highways.Elizabeth Williams loved the book and said "Gave as a gift to my Nephew. He loves 18-wheelers and it is difficult to find a book with photos and that he wants to read. This book has both. Would buy again."
