{"product_id":"migrations-in-jordan-jalal-al-husseini-9780755606849","title":"Migrations in Jordan: Reception Policies and Settlement Strategies","description":"Jordan currently hosts the second largest percentage of registered refugees in the\u003cbr\u003eworld: three million out of its eleven million inhabitants. Its experience in hosting\u003cbr\u003emigrants and refugees precedes its independence in 1946, with the arrival of\u003cbr\u003eCircassians, Chechens, and Armenians from the late 19th century. Jordan thus\u003cbr\u003econstitutes a unique observatory for reception policies and long-term settlement of\u003cbr\u003edifferent migrant groups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on original empirical and archival material, this volume focuses on migrations\u003cbr\u003ecaused by conflicts, wars, and crises underscoring their articulation with longstanding\u003cbr\u003ehuman mobility. It sheds light on the cumulative and processual dimensions\u003cbr\u003eof Jordan's reception policies and migrants' settlement strategies. It identifies the\u003cbr\u003emultiple actors involved in the management of migrants and, conversely, the latter's\u003cbr\u003econtribution to the Jordanian social, economic, political, and urban fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the volume examines the policies adopted by the Jordanian\u003cbr\u003eauthorities and international organizations to regulate access to basic services and to\u003cbr\u003ethe labour market, and explores the economic and political factors underlying them.\u003cbr\u003eThe second part analyzes the effects of Jordan's policies on the territorial distribution\u003cbr\u003eand settlement of migrants. How have these policies, combined with the adaptation\u003cbr\u003estrategies of migrants contributed to shaping new urban spaces? The third part\u003cbr\u003efocuses on capacity of the migrants to activate, establish, (re)build, and intersect\u003cbr\u003edifferent kinds of solidarity networks within the context of protracted displacement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jalal Al Husseini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755606841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755606849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Jalal Al Husseini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46052322377983,"sku":"9780755606849","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5178e542-3489-48ff-8317-60922c00786f.jpg?v=1723556042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/migrations-in-jordan-jalal-al-husseini-9780755606849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
