Prospects for Employment of Persons with Disabilities in the Post-COVID-19 Era

This book compares the employment situation for people with disabilities in the UK and the US during and post pandemic and analyses the conditions in low-middle-income-countries (LMICs).

Refugees Together and Citizens Apart

Grounded in long-term ethnography, Refugees Together and Citizens Apart examines how dispossessed Palestinians experience and seek to resist Israeli coercive differentiation through the study of two areas with intertwined histories of forced displacement: the segregated Palestinian districts of Lyd (renamed Lod), and the Jalazone refugee camp in the West Bank.

Strangers and Settlers

In Strangers and Settlers, Bethany Lacina provides the first global study of nativism that features a unified account of the drivers of backlash against international and domestic migration. Using information from censuses, public opinion, mobility laws, and political parties, Lacina describes a world of nested hierarchies of locals, and shows how governments use a range of policies to ensure locals maintain political and economic superiority over newcomers, particularly international migrants.
