"I arrived with just $1 in my pocket": Narratives of immigrant exceptionalism on X

Narratives of immigrant exceptionalism such as “I arrived with just $1 in my pocket” are commonly used by established immigrants in Canada to signal their personal achievement, their resilience, their claims to legitimacy on Canadian issues, or simply to counter narratives of an unwelcoming place. The convenience of the temporal and seemingly causal communicative form of the narrative, further combined with the social position of the established immigrant, the narratives of immigrant exceptionalism are highly amenable for reproduction. These narratives must be contextualized within the wider discourse of Canadian exceptionalism that allow such narratives to be further reproduced over generations and cohorts of new immigrant arrivals through the creation of the imaginary integrated immigrant. The framing of the narratives of immigrant exceptionalism tells us about the spectrum of meanings that people attach to immigrant exceptionalism, as well as what Canadian exceptionalism means to them. I collected 165 posts from X/Twitter and categorized the tweets into frames. I find that relevant problem frames such as “taking responsibility” and “threat“ stand out, as well as benefit frames such as “solidarity”.

Impacts, Challenges, And Opportunities Of Rohingya Immigrants For Aceh's Regional Economy And Indonesia's National Security

The fundamental problem of Rohingya immigrants coming to Indonesia in large numbers has been a hotly debated issue in recent years. Rohingya immigrants are a group of ethnic minorities from Rakhine state, Myanmar. They have experienced discriminatory treatment that has caused them to flee Myanmar and seek safety in other countries, including Indonesia. The arrival of immigrants to Indonesia has the potential to impact the regional economy of Indonesia's national security. The regional economy is an economic activity carried out by economic actors (households, companies, and government) in a region to meet the needs of its people. Meanwhile, national security is an effort and strategy undertaken by the state to protect the integrity, sovereignty and sustainability of life and aims to ensure the safety and security of the state. In resolving national security through diplomacy between countries. For Indonesia, this is very important to achieve national development and ensure the safety and welfare of the community. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the arrival of Rohingya immigrants on Indonesia's national security, the impact can be in the form of threats or opportunities, in this case government policies to deal with the problem. This research uses a systematic literature review method with national and international approaches. This is to draw conclusions from several previous studies related to Rohingya immigrants: Threat or opportunity for Indonesia's national security. It is hoped that this research can provide a reference to the government in determining policies related to Rohingya immigrants for Indonesia's national security.

Modeling Religious Coexistence: The Turkish and Tatar Muslim Communities in Romania’s Dobruja

The peaceful coexistence of different religions is crucial today, especially with the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Levant and the arrival of new refugees and immigrants with diverse faith traditions. In Romania, while immigrants may face challenges integrating into the predominantly Romanian Orthodox religious majority, the Dobrogean Model of Religious Pluralism is a pattern of inter-religious coexistence with the potential to clarify the critical factors needed to facilitate peaceful pluralism among religious groups. Utilizing Rogers Brubaker’s triadic-nexus configuration of national minorities, nationalizing states, and external national homelands alongside various qualitative methods, this paper will investigate the historical and institutional elements for promoting peaceful coexistence, particularly with an eye toward the Islamic minority in the Dobruja region. The study will also examine the crucial role of state and affiliated institutions in promoting tolerance and coexistence by protecting freedom of religion. Romania's location at the crossroads of the East and West and the Dobruja region's reputation as a model of religious pluralism makes it an excellent case study for identifying critical factors for the peaceful coexistence of religions in contemporary societies.

Migrant Souls

Abstract This article analyses the reconfiguration of religious identity in the Druze community in Minas Gerais, south-eastern Brazil, which was formed by the arrival of immigrants from Lebanon in the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. The immigrants created ethnic and religious institutions destined to maintain Druze identity and its Islamic character. However, the transmission of religious knowledge to the generations born in Brazil was fragmentary and imperfect. Nevertheless, Druze identity was maintained by many and completely recreated in the religious context of Catholicism and Spiritism, while the connection to Islam faded away. The analysis focuses on how religious authorities and the belief in reincarnation were the main elements that allowed continuity in religious identity together with the transformation of tradition.

Immigration and work, considerations about the challenges in Brazil: bibliographic review of the literature

Introduction: Migratory flows towards countries that have more labor supply are not recent. In this sense, the arrival of immigrants in host countries, in many cases, makes this population more susceptible to health risk situations because of work activities, lack of integration with the local population and the immigration process itself. Methods: The study used a bibliographic review of the literature as a method. In this context, integration policies and the recognition of educational training in the country of origin can contribute to improving the living conditions of this population in Brazil. Results: In this context, this study aims to provide a summary of the challenges faced by immigrants in search of improved living conditions. Furthermore, this study contributes to identifying the main challenges facing immigrants recently arrived in Brazil and the difficult process of integration into local society. It is observed that the authors highlight in common that, worldwide, in the different receiving countries, regardless of the social, political, and economic context in which the immigrants find themselves, there is some destructive process that conditions the health-disease process of this population, resulting from the various factors mentioned above. Conclusion: Yet the positive contribution of migration to development is increasingly recognized, and these targeted policies will maximize their benefits in both countries of origin and destination.

Ins and Outs: Immigration Policies in Early 20th Century Mexico and the Arrival of Spanish Immigrants and Exiles

Abstract: In the early decades of the 20th century, Mexican immigration laws and government circulars dictated populations believed to be economically, racially, and intellectually favorable. Determined to be a population able to easily assimilate into Mexican society based on their ability to maintain Mexico's mestizo demographic identity, the government gave preferential treatment to Spaniards seeking the opportunity to migrate. The Mexican government sought to protect the nation's mixed-identity through the promulgation of restrictive immigration policies, establishing limitations for populations believed to be too "other" to seamlessly integrate and bring wide-spread benefit to the nation. To understand Mexico's provision of aid to Spanish exiles and refugees unable or unwilling to return to their homeland during and after the Spanish Civil War, this article examines the Ley de Migración, the Ley de General Población, and other immigration laws promulgated between 1926 and 1936 and their efforts to control who was able to enter the country.

Exterior cladding in the German architecture of Valdivia. A metaphor of refinement and social distinction

As a result of the colonization process that began in the mid-19th century in southern Chile and, with it, the systematic arrival of European immigrants, an informal discourse has been favored over time to sustain the transcendent contribution of foreigners in the area, as well as the architectures accrued, thus emerging a widely spread valuation and cataloging discourse; the «German architecture of southern Chile.» Notwithstanding the widely publicized colonizing agenda and its overall impact, economic progress and better material conditions are not transversal issues within this migrant colony. Within this scenario, the Typical Zone of General Pedro Lagos Street, located in the city of Valdivia, constitutes a highly representative sector in terms of its social recognition and the valuation given to the properties located there as exponents of a prolific colonization process. In a specific group of buildings in this area, this article will review and present detailed background information that will allow building a situated and complex architectural scene, revealing the mechanisms used to exhibit prosperity and social climbing as an expiatory vehicle to cover production conditions alien to the neatness of capitalist German entrepreneurship and the European sophistication that was so desired to be transmitted in the cities undergoing fledgling immigration processes.

The Role of UK Communities and Leadership in Tackling Female Genital Mutilation

Female Genital Mutilation is the act of removing part or all of a woman's external genitalia, including the act of injuring a woman's genitals without medical reasons. It is estimated that more than 200 million women have undergone Female Genital Mutilation procedures. This is an international problem and concern. The practice of Female Genital Mutilation in England emerged due to the arrival of immigrants who brought this culture. The efforts made by the British government in dealing with Female Genital Mutilation are by enforcing the law in the form of creating anti-Female Genital Mutilation laws and educating the public through campaigns and community empowerment. This research was created to try to see the role of British communities and leadership in dealing with Female Genital Mutilation using comparative feminist political theory and the concept of women's rights. This research will use a qualitative descriptive research methodology. The results of this research are in the form of political policy analysis using four approaches, namely gender; policy; and welfare states, state feminism, policy implementation and making, women's movements. As well as the emergence of obstacles in handling efforts which are influenced by various factors.

Hate Speech in The Context of Digital Violence in Türkiye: Perceptions and Biases on Afghan Identity

According to the data of the Presidency of Migration Management (2021), the largest group of irregular migrants detected in Türkiye in 2021 were Afghans. The arrival of irregular migrants from Afghanistan to Türkiye alongside the Syrian refugees have caused a negatively charged reaction in Turkish society and from the main parties in the opposition. Based on this apparent reaction against the arrival of Afghan
 refugees, the claim can be made that Afghans are now the new “other” category in Türkiye. We identify two hashtags used on Twitter to protest the arrival of Afghans, which are #sınırnamustur (border is honor) and #hudutnamustur (frontier is honor) having the same meaning in Turkish and are Trend Topics on Twitter. The purpose of this study is to examine the reason why there are two hashtags on Twitter to protest the arrival of Afghan immigrants, what the differences and similarities are between
 the two in terms of how Afghans are defined and what kinds of hate speech they are subjected to. For this purpose, we applied Craswell’s mixed model in this study using both content analysis and social network analysis techniques. The investigation results reveal that the hashtag #sınırnamustur is a manifestation of a political endeavor, asserting that Afghan refugees are associated with a ‘security challenge’. In contrast, the hashtag #hudutnamustur represents a response from the general populace, embodying elements of cultural superiority.

In the Shadow of the Spanish Fantasy Heritage

This article presents an overlooked chapter in San Gabriel’s history as it examines the Mexican experience in the historic mission city during the early twentieth century. In the 1910s, enterprising Anglo-American commercial and civic leaders romanticized the city’s Spanish heritage, especially in the area around old Mission San Gabriel, hoping to draw tourists to the newly incorporated city. Simultaneously, the arrival of Mexican immigrants to San Gabriel sparked concern among local leaders who, ironically, viewed the growing Mexican population as a threat to the city’s Spanish fantasy heritage. This article reveals how San Gabriel’s Mexican community harnessed civic leaders’ merchandizing of the city’s history, subverting the Spanish fantasy narrative to celebrate their Mexican history and presence in a city seemingly determined to deny both. It uses Spanish-language accounts, church records, and contemporary local histories to reveal a Mexican community asserting pride in its culture and history. In the process, it illustrates the interplay between San Gabriel’s Mexican community and the Roman Catholic parish at Mission San Gabriel, and the ways in which Mexican radicalism and grassroots mutualistas (mutual-aid societies) shaped the colonia (Mexican neighborhood).

The Urgency of Immigration Intelligence in Anticipating Illegal Immigrants

The arrival of illegal immigrants to an area is a threat to state sovereignty. This situation is certainly dangerous, considering that everyone who will enter the territory of a country must know the origin and destination. In dealing with these illegal immigrants, immigration has an important function in preventing and controlling illegal immigrants. This research will examine the position and role of immigration intelligence in overcoming the problem of illegal immigrants in Indonesia. The research method used in this study is normative juridical with a statutory, case, and conceptual approach. The results of the study found that immigration intelligence has an important role in maintaining national stability and overcoming national threats from the problem of illegal immigrants. Immigration Intelligence can act as a deterrent and controller for illegal immigrants. Currently, immigration intelligence has various programs in dealing with the problem of illegal immigrants, such as establishing a foreigner reporting system (APOA), forming an intelligence community consisting of law enforcement officials and government institutions, and cooperation with Interpol.

Newspaper Portrayal of Sub-Saharan Immigrants in Morocco

Media consumers around the world are regularly confronted with media reports or depictions of migrants crossing the Mediterranean. In Morocco, the situation of those migrants has grabbed media attention, especially in newspapers; hundreds of articles and reports have been written in newspapers, criticizing or denouncing the phenomenon. Although the currently available body research has tended to neglect the linguistic ways in which such media convey meaning along the side of their use of images, little attention has been paid to language-based media. The purpose of this article is to investigate how the media framed the arrival of Sub-Saharan immigrants to Morocco. The focus is mainly on newspaper headlines because they convey the main issue of the news story. The goal is to analyse the headlines of four widely read newspapers Almassae, Assabah, Akhbar Al Yaoum, and Alahdath before the migration reform of 2013. With this in mind, the article applies content analysis methodology to examine how news media framed and portrayed the arrival of ‘African’ immigrants in news headlines.

Migration and urban development in São Paulo

ABSTRACT Waves of migration, both forced and voluntary, and how a city’s urban environment develops are inextricably linked. São Paulo with its long history provides an excellent example. From the use of slavery to fuel the region’s plantations, to the arrival of immigrants to work in its burgeoning industries, different groups altered the city through where they lived, worked, and travelled. The end of this process today is a city of contrasts. This article outlines the migration and urban development patterns of São Paulo from its colonial period to the present and argues that many of its inequities are structural outcomes of its different forms of migration. The current emphasis on attracting skilled professionals and the creative classes impacts how urban spaces are utilized and highlights the challenges that the city faces in tackling issues such as wealth disparities, informal and gig work sectors, and climate change.

Digital Ethnic Enclaves: Mate Preferences and Platform Choices Among Chinese Immigrant Online Daters in Vancouver

In light of the growing racialized immigrant population in Canada and advances in dating technologies, this study examines Chinese immigrants' partner preferences and mate selection processes through the lens of online dating. We draw on in-depth interviews with 31 Chinese immigrants who have used online dating services in Metro Vancouver to search for different-sex partners. Chinese immigrant online daters show strong preferences for dating Chinese. They emphasize permanent residency status and similarity in age at arrival when evaluating potential partners. Given their preferences, Chinese immigrants strategically choose the dating platforms they primarily use. Men exhibit higher selectivity in their preferences and choices of platforms. Notably, platforms catering to Chinese users create "digital ethnic enclaves" where Chinese immigrant daters congregate. The findings illuminate the intersection of race, gender, immigrant status, and age at arrival in shaping divergent experiences of mate selection and immigrant assimilation in the digital era.

Pliocene Pre-GABI herbivorous mammals from Espinar, Peruvian Andean Plateau

ABSTRACT Pliocene South American mammals prior to the Great American Biotic Interchange comprise the evolutionary pinnacle of a long-lasting process of continental isolation, in which large-scale orogeny and climate change were instrumental. These processes resulted in unique assemblages of extinct groups with peculiar anatomies. However, interpretation of the functional roles that these organisms would have played in the ecosystem is challenging because well-preserved fossils of this time interval in South America are scarce. Here, we describe a new Early Pliocene assemblage of native herbivorous megamammals documented by skeletons in anatomical connection from the Peruvian Andean plateau (city of Yauri in Espinar, Cusco Department). Fossil-bearing deposits pertain to Member C of the El Descanso Formation dated at 4.75 ± 0.5 Ma, when the plateau attained near-modern elevations and a Puna-type plant ecosystem. The mammal assemblage is dominated by xenarthrans, including three ground sloths (cf. Megatheriops rectidens, Simomylodon uccasamamensis, and Proscelidodon sp.) and Andinoglyptodon mollohuancai gen. et sp. nov., the first Pliocene glyptodontine known by a well-preserved cranium and dermal armor. Notoungulates are represented by the toxodontid Posnanskytherium viscachanense. Both selective and bulk feeders are identified, suggesting the existence of diverse plant resources in the Pliocene Puna ecosystem. These native mammals constituted the typical Pliocene herbivorous guild of the central Andean plateau and provide an opportunity to investigate the structure of mammalian communities just before the arrival of Holarctic immigrants.

O PERMANENTE DO PROVISÓRIO: O PROCESSO DE MODERNIZAÇÃO DO BRASIL

This article analyzes aspects of the capitalist formation in Brazil, understanding it as an authoritarian process, in which the specificities of the territory were not considered, promoting the creation of poor regions and populations. It will analyze the transformations that the economy has placed on space, transfiguring rural environments into pockets of urban inequalities. The understanding of such questions becomes necessary as part of the studies of the fiction work Inferno Provisório (2016), by Luiz Ruffato. This work, through a fragmentary language and historical perspective, pays attention to the ills of contemporary Brazil and seeks explanations for them in the arrival of italian immigrants as a replacement for slave labor.

THE COMPOSITION OF THE BRETHREN IN THE ORTHODOX MONASTERIES OF THE VOLOGDA PROVINCE IN THE 1860s - 1917

After the abolition of serfdom in Russia, the composition of Orthodox monasteries radically changed due to the arrival of immigrants from the peasant class, who began to make up more than half of the monastics in the monasteries of the Vologda province. At the same time, in some monasteries of the province there was a decrease in the number of residents, in others - a kind of stabilization of the monastic community. In some monasteries, especially in women’s monasteries, there was an increase in the number of inhabitants. However, in the 1860s - 1917 in the main male regular monasteries of the Vologda province, the number of residents was below the established standards. On the other hand, during the time there was a clear “aging” of male monasticism in the province, while the age characteristics of those who lived in female monasteries were multidirectional. Clear positive trends in the number of monks and sisters and their age indicators were observed in the new cenobitic monasteries - in the Ulyanovsk Trinity-Stefanovsky male and Kyltovsky Holy Cross female monasteries.

From high masked to high realized genetic load in inbred Scandinavian wolves.

When new mutations arise at functional sites they are more likely to impair than improve fitness. If not removed by purifying selection, such deleterious mutations will generate a genetic load that can have negative fitness effects in small populations and increase the risk of extinction. This is relevant for the highly inbred Scandinavian wolf (Canis lupus) population, founded by only three wolves in the 1980s and suffering from inbreeding depression. We used functional annotation and evolutionary conservation scores to study deleterious variation in a total of 209 genomes from both the Scandinavian and neighbouring wolf populations in northern Europe. The masked load (deleterious mutations in heterozygote state) was highest in Russia and Finland with deleterious alleles segregating at lower frequency than neutral variation. Genetic drift in the Scandinavian population led to the loss of ancestral alleles, fixation of deleterious variants and a significant increase in the per-individual realized load (deleterious mutations in homozygote state; an increase by 45% in protein-coding genes) over five generations of inbreeding. Arrival of immigrants gave a temporary genetic rescue effect with ancestral alleles re-entering the population and thereby shifting deleterious alleles from homozygous into heterozygote genotypes. However, in the absence of permanent connectivity to Finnish and Russian populations, inbreeding has then again led to the exposure of deleterious mutations. These observations provide genome-wide insight into the magnitude of genetic load and genetic rescue at the molecular level, and in relation to population history. They emphasize the importance of securing gene flow in the management of endangered populations.

Educating and Enlightening: A Portrait of the Muhammadiyah Social Movement in Wolo during the Old Order (Mendidik dan Mencerahkan: Potret Gerakan Sosial Muhammadiyah di Wolo pada Masa Orde Lama)

This study aims to analyze the history of Muhammadiyah's contact with Wolo District, its existence and political dynamics, and its social pattern of Da'wah during the Old Order period. The study design is ex post facto research. Data were obtained through documents, interviews and observations, and were analyzed by heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results of this study indicate that since 1957 Wolo has become a branch of the Kolaka Regency Muhammadiyah and experienced rapid development after the arrival of immigrants from the Waru Ponre, Bone Regency. During the old order, Muhammadiyah Wolo experienced a period of contamination with the DI-TII movement, politically channeling its aspirations to Masyumi and opposing the ruling political ideology (PNI) which synergized with the PKI. The social pattern of Dakwah Muhammadiyah Wolo in rectifying the religion of the ummah during the Old Order era used 5 (five) approaches namely: indoctrination, moral reasoning, forecasting consequences, value clarification, as well as ibrah and amtsal. In addition to the five approaches, four internalization strategies are also applied, namely: exemplary strategy, problem/case analysis, instilling contextual educational values, and strengthening values. The social fact of da'wah is manifested by charitable efforts in the fields of education, health and socio-economics.Keywords: Educate, Enlighten, Social Movement, Muhammadiyah, Old Order
