Immigration Syllabus – #ImmigrationSyllabus Essential topics, readings, and multimedia that provide historical context to current debates over immigration reform, integration, and citizenship Created by immigration historians affiliated with the Immigration History Research Center at the University of Minnesota and the Immigration and Ethnic History Society January 26, 2017 The 2016 presidential election brought a great deal of attention to immigration and immigrants in American society. Much of this debate perpetuated harmful stereotypes, dangerously stoked fears about outsiders, and echoed a nativist rhetoric that many believed had disappeared from public discourse. This syllabus seeks to provide historical context to current debates over immigration reform, integration, and citizenship. The syllabus follows a chronological overview of U.S. immigration history, but it also includes thematic weeks that cover salient issues in political discourse today such as xenophobia, deportation policy, and border policing.

Reports of racist graffiti, hate crimes post-election "They've been everywhere -- in schools, in places of business like Walmart, on the street," SPLC President Richard Cohen said. Critics accused Trump of fostering xenophobia and Islamophobia during the divisive presidential campaign. Recent days have witnessed ugly episodes of racist or anti-Semitic, pro-Trump graffiti along with threats or attacks against Muslims. The President-elect said he was "so saddened" to hear about vitriol hurled by some of his supporters against minorities. "If it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it," Trump told CBS' "60 Minutes." Not all incidents are spurred by Trump supporters. The election-related incidents follow a year of heightened attacks against Muslim Americans. Overall, reported hate crimes spiked 6%, but the number could be higher because many incidents go unreported, Lynch said. Here's what some Americans are dealing with across the country: Mosques get letters calling for genocide 'Go home' scrawled on car New York Gov.
Child Migrants Have Been Coming to America Alone Since Ellis Island | Blog This post originally appeared at Mother Jones. An unaccompanied child migrant was the first person in line on opening day of the new immigration station at Ellis Island. Her name was Annie Moore, and that day, January 1, 1892, happened to be her 15th birthday. She had traveled with her two little brothers from Cork County, Ireland, and when they walked off the gangplank, she was awarded a certificate and a $10 gold coin for being the first to register. Today, a statue of Annie stands on the island, a testament to the courage of millions of children who passed through those same doors, often traveling without an older family member to help them along. Alarmists painted immigrants — children included — as disease-ridden job stealers bent on destroying the American way of life. Of course, not everyone was lining up to give Annie and her fellow passengers a warm welcome. Eight orphan children whose mothers were killed in a Russian pogrom.

The Foreign Daughter - Words Without Borders In this excerpt from her novel The Foreign Daughter, Najat El Hachmi's narrator has resolved to give in to familial pressures to marry, comparing her situation to that of Mundeta Ventura, a character from the Monserrat Roig novel Ramona, adéu. The first novel in a trilogy, and told from a feminist perspective, it depicts the lives of women in a family living in the Eixample, a district of Barcelona that lies between the old city and what were once outlying towns, and whose Modernist-inspired architecture includes Gaudí structures. As the narrator relates her situation, she meditates on her arrival in Catalunya, the foreignness of her mother's language, and her situation between two worlds. I no longer read. Nobody asked me to stop reading, my mother’s really pleased I’ve decided to look toward our country and marry a nice young man from down there. Thoughts come to me thick and fast in the corridors of the seminary, whether I like it or not, but I send them packing. © Najat El Hachmi.
EL COR DE LES APARENCES: Diferencia y desigualdad en la escuela Artículo publicado en El País, el 3 de abril de 2001DIFERENCIA Y DESIGUALDAD EN LA ESCUELA Manuel Delgado En orden a reconsiderar la manera como las instituciones se enfrentan a los retos derivados de la inmigración, cabría preguntarse si no es urgente desenmascarar el empleo eufemístico que reciben términos como multiculturalismo, interculturalidad, diversidad cultural, etc., tras el que podría reconocerse la acción de ideologías de marcaje y exclusión de seres humanos inferiorizados.Un ejemplo de ello lo tenemos en el uso que se le está dando en la institución escolar a este tipo de ideas fetiche.
“Rumanos, os voy a cortar las manos” M. G. vive en un piso de alquiler en Aragón que no se puede permitir. Por ello, decide rescindir el contrato en diciembre de 2011, y así se lo comunica a su arrendadora, a quien le pide la devolución de la fianza correspondiente a dos mensualidades: 1.000 euros en total. La propietaria le da largas durante semanas hasta que, tras la insistencia de M., le contesta que ya no tiene el dinero de la fianza y que su madre, que se lo podría prestar, "no va a gastar su dinero en inmigrantes". El 10 de enero de 2012, los trabajadores de una empresa de Tudela (Navarra) escuchan por un megáfono: "Me cago en estos putos rumanos. Hijos de puta, rumanos.

Children of Immigrants There are around 20 million adult, American-born children of immigrants living in the United States. I am one of them. I am the daughter of two immigrant mothers from Peru and Argentina. My roots are not directly below me, beneath this ground that I stand on, but instead reach to many parts of the world. I grew up in San Francisco, moving constantly from house to house, sometimes in homes filled with other families. Technically, I am an American, but that label doesn’t quite seem to fit. In discussions about children of immigrants, scholars often deal with statistics, but rarely with the actual individuals who have their own voices and ideas of identification. This continuing portrait series is inspired by conversations I’ve had with children of immigrants over the past two years. “A lot of the time, being a child of immigrants means constantly having to defend your place as an ‘American,’” said Alex Santana, a Spanish- and Dominican-American.
La justicia da la razón al instituto de Pozuelo que vetó a una alumna con velo Un juzgado de primera instancia de Madrid ha desestimado el recurso presentado por la familia de la joven española de origen marroquí Najwa Malha contra la decisión del instituto en el que cursaba estudios de no permitirle la asistencia a clase con hiyab o velo islámico. La sentencia, contra la que cabe recurso, estima que "no se vulneró la dignidad" de la alumna ni tampoco se produjo "una injerencia en su libertad religiosa" porque el centro actuó en cumplimiento de su reglamento, que es "igual para todos". El abogado de la familia, Iván Jiménez Aybar, considera que tiene "mucha importancia", ya que "es la primera sentencia de este tipo que se produce en España". Preguntado por teléfono si piensa recurrirla, Jiménez Aybar, experto en extranjería y cuya tesis doctoral se tituló Aspectos institucionales del estatuto jurídico del islam en España, ha sido tajante: "Por supuesto que sí".
