Migration and State Power
Edited by Frank Jacob

Lampedusa is maybe one of the best-known islands of the Mediterranean, but not for its history or geography. It is far more a symbol for the misery of mainly African refugees, who want to reach the European shores to achieve a better future, as well as for the Western fear of immigration into the European Union and the reactions of the European state powers to it. As cruel as the recent history of Lampedusa might be, it is not the only case in which the possibilities and the nature of migration were influenced by state power. History has seen numerous cases of migration movements that were impacted by governmental authorities in different settings, including the creation or the limitation of such movements.
The third volume of Global Humanities is looking for perspectives of this specific interrelationship between migration of human beings and the interventions of state power. Therefore, we ask for paper proposals from all fields of the humanities that will analyze the interconnectedness of migration and state power. Possible topics might focus on but are not limited to:

Migration and state prejudices
Migration and politics
Migration and hate crimes
Migration and state restrictions
Migration and daily life (limited by state power)
Forced migration
Limitations of migration

For a better planning of the next volume, we ask you to send in a short proposal (around 250 words) and a CV by 15 July 2015. Final papers, ranging from 5000 to 7500 words (using footnotes, stylesheets will be provided by the editor) are due by 31 August 2015.
Please send all materials or inquiries to global-humanities@neofelis-press.com
