Impact Of Deportation Research Articles

Deportation of representatives of ethnic groups to Kazakhstan and their prominent figures who made a significant contribution to the country's development

The article reflects the informational and research bases of the study of deportation to Kazakhstan applied by the Soviet totalitarian system as a repressive measure against certain ethnic groups of the population. The source and historiographical base of the problem of the deportation of peoples to Kazakhstan is analyzed. The main documents with data on peoples deported to Kazakhstan during the years of mass political repressions are shown in chronological order. The specific features of the totalitarian regime and the impact of deportation on the lives of specific people, as well as on individual ethnic groups, regions and the country as a whole are considered. The article also provides information on the work done during the years of independence on the full rehabilitation of deported peoples. The adopted normative legal acts and scientific developments devoted to the topic of deportation are studied. Currently, a number of dissertations, written books, articles, published memoirs of the victims of deportation, information published on electronic portals and libraries about prominent figures of ethnic groups deported to Kazakhstan, who left a special mark in the history of the country, are protected. Reviewing the biographies of some of the most prominent representatives of these ethnic groups, the author tried to show the results of their activities and their contribution to the development of the country as an example for modern youth. In conclusion, the importance of continuing work in this direction is justified, the successful results of which will contribute to the further development of inter-confessional and inter-ethnic harmony as one of the necessary conditions for the implementation of the policy of preserving the unity of the population and territorial integrity of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Deporting America's Children: The Demise of Discretion and Family Values in Immigration Law

This article focuses on the deeply problematic practice of de facto child separation or de facto deportation of U.S.-citizen children occurring with greater frequency throughout the interior of the nation. I argue that the absence of discretion in the context of deporting parents of citizen children is both economically and socially counter-productive and inhumane. A new approach to assessing the impact of deportation on U.S.-citizen children must take into account not only the children’s constitutional rights as U.S. citizens, but also the societal interest in avoiding the “creation of an underclass of future citizens,” which cannot be reconciled with basic principles of equality. After examining constitutional infirmities posed by a legal regime that allows for the deportation of parents without regard for the de facto deportation of American children, or the deprivation of family integrity that occurs when children are left behind, I propose legislative reform to safeguard the constitutional rights of American children and families.

Failure to Mourn “White Nativism”: Impact of Deportation on Hispanic American–Born Children and Mixed-Status Families

Contemporary American immigration policy since 1996 has sought to control the entrance of “illegal immigrants” while also facilitating their deportation, thereby dividing mixed-status families. American children born to non-native parents are rendered second-class citizens. Such policies claim to preserve the American economic and social order. The author posits that American immigration reform needs to be viewed in the context of legal statutes and social policies that are embedded in a complex, unconscious intrapsychic defense system of “White nativism,” aimed to avert the mourning of the “White native” cultural identity. Deportation and immigration reform is therefore a “White native,” legal, and policy-driven annihilatory tool, designed to extricate the American-born Hispanic child from the United States in order to avert the inevitable transformation of the “White natives” collective external group symbolic representations, or reservoirs, that are linked to individual and collective affective mother–me experiences.

“I was crying, I did not come back with anything”: Women’s Experiences of Deportation from Europe to Nigeria

Abstract The aim of this article is to study the impact of deportation on women’s lives, via the narrated experiences of Nigerian women deported from the European Union. It focuses on women’s stories about the period prior to their travel to Europe and their motivations for doing so; on stories about the journey and their experiences as migrants; and finally on stories about their deportation and their life after returning home to Nigeria. By taking this three-step approach and by focusing on deportees’ experiences, the authors want to contribute to an emic understanding of deportation in which gender and kinship play a crucial part. The obligation to migrate is a social as well as an economic duty for women in the Nigerian context. Whereas anthropological studies have so far focused on deportees’ feelings of non-belonging, this article shows that women’s experiences of deportation are highly connected to family belonging.
