An integrative review of the role of remittances in international nurse migration

An integrative review of the role of remittances in international nurse migration Allison Squires,1 Angela Amico2 1College of Nursing, 2Global Institute of Public Health, New York University, New York, NY, USA Abstract: This review seeks to understand the role of remittances in international nurse migration within the context of three theories of international migration: equilibrium approaches, social networks, and globalization. To analyze the phenomenon, an integrative review of the literature was conducted. Search terms sought articles discussing, either directly or indirectly, remittances and international nurse migration. The initial search returned 369 articles, and further screening decreased the total to 65. Full text screening reduced the final number for the analysis to 48. A directed content analysis structured the analytic approach by examining how authors discussed remittances in the content and context of the paper. The final analysis showed the majority of papers were policy analyses (five); opinion papers, reviews, or editorials that indirectly discussed remittances (27); or were qualitative and quantitative studies (16), either with primary data collection (14) or secondary data analyses (two). Overall, a nurse’s individual motivation for sending remittances home stemmed from familial factors but was never a primary driver of migration. Domestic labor market factors were more likely to drive nurses to migrate. The nurse’s country of origin also was a factor in the remittance dynamic. The identity of the author of the paper played a role in how they discussed remittances in the context of international nurse migration. The three theories of migration helped explain various aspects of the role of remittances in international nursing migration. While the phenomenon has changed since the 2008 global economic crisis and the passing of the World Health Organization’s Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel in 2010, future research around the role of remittances needs to consider the confluence of gender, social, political, labor market, and economic dynamics, and not just view the phenomenon from an individual lens.

Understanding Women’s Work through the Confluence of Gender, Race, and Social Class

This article examines the experiences of women’s work by focusing on the lives of working class and middle class women, African Americans, Caucasians and Latinas. Research for this project was conducted in the Humboldt Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, with adult women who live, go to school, or work there. We spoke with adult women working toward their General Education Degree and those with higher levels of education. Using intersectional analysis and a cultural constructivist framework, this study compares these women’s different perceptions of the Humboldt Park neighborhood and their varying experiences as participants in the labor market and unpaid household labor.

Portraits and collaborations: a reflection on the work of Wendy Ewald

This reflection on the work of Wendy Ewald as a photographer, storyteller and teacher highlights Ewald's methodology, her manner of presenting work and her images. First, in describing Ewald's artistic practice, I discuss the innovative ways she collaborates with children, sharing control over the process of visually representing children's lives, their stories and their faces. I also describe her influence as an educator and suggest that researchers as well may benefit from Ewald's approach to exploring individuals' social realities. Next, I propose that Ewald's body of work provides a rich source of material for those interested in the analysis of visual culture. As an example, I focus on Ewald's American Alphabets, which presents four visual alphabets and deals with questions of identity and language. The collaborative images simultaneously address and raise sociological questions and offer a compelling visual example of the confluence of gender, race and social class. I finish with a discussion of Ewald's two latest collaborations—In Peace and Harmony: Carver Portraits in Richmond, Virginia and Towards a Promised Land from Margate, England. In these new works, Ewald places larger‐than‐life portraits in symbolically meaningful public spaces. Her public art involves a complicated and conceptual exploration of context.

No Room of Their Own: Gender and Nation in Israeli Women's Fiction , and: ללא תדר משלהן: מגדר ולאומיות ביצירתן של סופרות ישראליות (review)

Hebrew Studies 44 (2003) 287 Reviews NO ROOM OF THEIR OWN: GENDER AND NATION IN ISRAELI WOMEN'S FICTION. By Yael Feldman. Gender and Culture. Pp. xiv + 337. New York: Columbia University, 1999.

Paper, 74.00 NIS. Yael Feldman's No Room oJTheir Own is best described as an intellectual quest for the "Hebrew Woman" in Israeli women's fiction. It concerns Israeli and Western fiction and theory, feminism and postmodernism, psychoanalysis and postcolonialism. In so doing, it revolutionizes our understanding of recent developments in Hebrew literature and, by application, of Israeli literature since its budding. Setting up the agenda in explicit words, Feldman asks the following basic questions: If Israeli male authors have subscribed to a Zionist enterprise that envisions a "New Hebrew Man," is it possible to identify female writers who have done the same to create an image of a "New Hebrew Woman"? From this problematic junction there follow other investigations , such as the impact of the Western feminist movement on Israeli culture at large, and, specifically, its inscription in women's fiction. In short, if the main contradiction in Zionist ideology is between individual salvation and communal redemption, as Feldman puts it, then, has there been a creative site available for developing female SUbjectivity in confluence with or contradiction to the communal "we" of the meta-Zionist narrative? And, most important, when did it all begin? Why not earlier? To answer these complex, never-asked-before questions, Feldman opens with a review of women authors in Israel since the 1920s. The goal here is to establish a time frame for a diachronic and synchronic analysis of the evolution of Western feminism (in France, England, and America) and its meeting points with the Israeli development of feminist awareness. For historical and cultural reasons, Feldman sets the Israeli temporal genesis in the 1970s, starting with the Yom Kippur war, the fall of the Labor government, and other events that fractured public opinion, thereby opening up a collective , unified discourse to diversified expressions and receptions. In addition, the familiarity of the Israeli intelligentsia with Western feminist writers, among them Virginia Woolf (as the title of this book suggests) and Simone de Beauvoir, has precipitated feminist awakening and, with it, set in motion the dilatory, complicated, and ambiguous passage from traditional, realist and modernist to postmodernist prose fiction written by women. The crucial point Feldman makes is that awareness of the unwelcome cultural atmosphere before the 1970s, when collective ideology controlled and directed a unified national dialogue, prevented women from developing a feminist (minority and Hebrew Studies 44 (2003) 288 Reviews subversive) discourse in the literature of the period. Therefore, when feminist concerns do emerge in early women's writing, they are usually suppressed by undergoing modifications to normative communal values, or simply silenced. As Feldman concludes, in her discussion of Netiva Ben Yehuda's belated memoir of her experience in the 1948 War of Independence, "Could Netiva Ben Yehuda have told her version of the New Hebrew Woman 'then' [thirty years ago]? ..She no doubt could not. Even when she did tell it, three decades later, very few were wiIling to listen" (p. 191). What follows is a literary scrutiny that is concentrated on the thematic and stylistic transformations from traditional meta-narrative, Zionist and modernist (the separation of art and life), to postmodernism (fractured subjectivity, the mixing of realism and metaphor), albeit with no clear-cut transition. Her findings demonstrate that thematically these women writers deal with the antagonism between subjectivity and national concerns in addition to their revealed sensitivity to the problem of the separation and confluence of gender, racial, ethnic, and social boundaries. Moreover, female authors embody collective and subjective psychology in their writing, constructing and deconstructing Western and Jewish deep myths by appropriating them to the Israeli condition. Based on the assumption that only the identification of an innerdevelopmental design may point to the author's involvement with the problem of female subjectivity and...

The confluence of gender and culture: sexual harassment in the international arena

Two trends in business currently receiving much practical and theoretical discussion are diversity and globalization. Issues related to these trends can create significant challenges for managers but may also represent potentially rich learning experiences. This paper explores the confluence of gender and globalization, particularly in the context of sexual harassment. Two hypothetical dilemmas are presented. Information on demographic and global trends is presented. The legal and economic status of women in a number of different countries is reviewed, as is the legal definition of sexual harassment in the United States. Finally, directions for future research focusing on diversity‐related training and the issue of cultural relativism are discussed.

Sexual Difference and Collective Identities: The New Global Constellation

L'A. etudie la relation entre identite sexuelle et identite collective dans le contexte actuel de la globalisation. Il decrit de quelle maniere le post-modernisme envisage la notion de sujet. Il compare l'approche narrative de la construction identitaire imaginee par Virginia Woolf dans son roman «Orlando» et celle defendue par Charles Taylor dans son ouvrage «Sources of the Self». Il denonce les limites de la narration en ce domaine. Il propose une approche psychanalytique feministe du moi. Il examine l'influence des facteurs politiques et collectifs sur la formation identitaire et subjective. Il presente la theorie du sujet elaboree par Jessica Benjamin. Il s'interroge quant au role de la perspective feministe face au developpement de l'intolerance et de la xenophobie dans le monde actuel.
