ICEM gave single women of rural background and with scarce resources the opportunity to migrate and later sponsor the migration of their relatives. Furthermore, ICEM assisted them with orientation and language courses, training programs and loans, and oversaw their transportation and recruitment, as well as of their adjustment to work and life in economically and “culturally” developed countries. In doing so, the Committee tried to imbue women from the periphery of the “Free World” with “superior” western technical skills, cultural values and modern behavioral patterns that reproduced the dominant gender, ethnic, race and class prejudices of the destination countries. The article highlights the way receiving states expanded their capacity to control their borders and select the “qualities” of their foreign female workforce, by standardizing their skills, behaviors and rights. By comparing the implementation of the scheme in three British Commonwealth countries, it problematizes the role of the international organizations in the construction of labor patterns and the dissemination of hegemonic Western gendered economic, social and cultural scripts in a peripheral European country. It also explores the changes brought about by the ICEM in domestic work and women’s response to intergovernmen- tal migration planning.

Based on archival material retrieved from the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington D.C., the Archives of the FDR Presidential Library and Museum in New York, the Archives of the IOM Office in Athens and the São Paulo State Archive, we attempt to provide a genealogy of this idea since the Interwar period and the ways in which it has materialised by governments and international organisations, namely the ILO and the ICEM.

Subsequently, it examines the terms that defined the construction of religious, social and political diaspora groupings and the atti- tudes that conditioned their participation in the Greek nationalist project.
Although ‘rival’ ethnic groups in the United States came to blows during periods of violence in the Ottoman Empire, it appears that they also reconstructed in their daily life a ‘deterritorialized Ottoman space’ based on their origin in a common city or region or common cultural characteristics. There are hints that immigrants’ common references or memories led to the construction of a ‘nostalgic Ottomanism’ when the Empire dissolved, contributing to the survival of cultural elements and the continuation of social and labour relations with persons from rival ethnic groups.

Desde el siglo XIX hasta el comienzo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, millones de europeos emigraron a América del Sur. Esa tendencia se ha mantenido en las décadas siguientes, pero, desde las últimas décadas del siglo XX, los países de América del Sur fueron progresivamente constituyéndose también como lugares de generación de emigrantes. Junto con los Estados Unidos, el continente europeo (en especial el sur de Europa) se ha convertido en un destino prioritario para los emigrantes sudamericanos. Muchos de ellos son descendientes de europeos que emigraron a finales de los siglos XIX y XX a América del Sur y que movilizaron ese "capital étnico" para facilitar su integración y adquisición de la ciudadanía en el país receptor. Los países europeos tendieron a adoptar un enfoque diferenciado hacia estos inmigrantes considerados más fácilmente asimilables, aunque en muchos casos han sido estigmatizados como “pseudoeuropeos”.

Este número temático tiene como objetivo discutir, desde miradas críticas, reflexivas e interdisciplinarias, las representaciones e implicaciones sociales de las circularidades transhistóricas entre las dos orillas del Atlántico. Este número está especialmente abierto a contribuciones que busquen analizar cómo se producen simultáneamente el pasado, el presente y el futuro de esas movilidades. El presupuesto teórico de este número temático es que el pasado recordado construye y está construido por el presente interpretado, así como por los futuros imaginados. Aunque varios académicos estudian la movilidad entre América del Sur hacia Europa, hasta ahora son escasos los estudios sobre los impactos de la migración transgeneracional en las sociedades de origen y destino.

Este número responde a la necesidad emergente del estudio de la movilidad transgeneracional y sus impactos en los discursos, actitudes y normativas vinculadas a la ciudadanía. En particular, se buscan perspectivas críticas e interdisciplinarias que analicen las movilidades transgeneracionales y transcontinentales entre la América del Sur y la Europa, y sus consecuencias para la definición de las bases raciales y étnicas de las concepciones de ciudadanía.

Este call for papers invita a que se presenten artículos que, desde diferentes perspectivas disciplinarias y objetos de análisis, aborden las interfaces entre el pasado, el presente y el futuro de las migraciones entre América del Sur y Europa. En particular, se incitan contribuciones que aborden los siguientes ejes:

Histórico: movilidad entre Europa y América del Sur e impacto en las sociedades emisoras y receptoras;
Crítico-normativo: las desigualdades e injusticias que marcan los puentes entre las formas de entendimiento y la construcción de políticas institucionales en el pasado y el presente de las movilidades entre Europa y América del Sur;
Legal: la evolución histórica de las políticas migratorias y la circularidad de los marcos normativos entre América del Sur y Europa;
Familiar y generacional: El papel y las implicaciones de la ascendencia europea para las inmigraciones sudamericanas en la Europa contemporánea;
Museológico: las formas en que los museos representan los vínculos entre el pasado, el presente y el futuro de las migraciones entre América del Sur y Europa;
Medios: los distintos modos en que los medios narran las migraciones pasadas y presentes entre los dos continentes;
Actitudinal: las posibles diferencias en las actitudes sociales en relación con las migraciones pasadas y presentes;
Ético-normativo: las implicaciones éticas y normativas de las circularidades transhistóricas entre América del Sur y Europa.

Do século 19 até o início da Segunda Guerra Mundial, milhões de europeus emigraram para a América do Sul. Essa tendência se manteve nas décadas seguintes, mas, desde as últimas décadas do século 20, os países da América do Sul progressivamente se firmaram como locais de geração de imigrantes. Junto com os Estados Unidos, o continente europeu (especialmente o sul da Europa) tornou-se um destino prioritário para os emigrantes sul-americanos. Muitos deles são descendentes de europeus que emigraram para a América do Sul no final dos séculos XIX e XX e que mobilizaram este “capital étnico” para facilitar a sua integração e aquisição da cidadania no país de acolhimento. Os países europeus tenderam a adotar uma abordagem diferenciada em relação a esses imigrantes considerados mais facilmente assimiláveis, embora em muitos casos tenham sido estigmatizados como “pseudo-europeus”.

Este número temático pretende discutir, a partir de perspectivas críticas, reflexivas e interdisciplinares, as representações e implicações sociais das circularidades trans-históricas entre as duas margens do Atlântico. Este número está especialmente aberto a contribuições que busquem analisar como o passado, o presente e o futuro dessas mobilidades ocorrem simultaneamente. O pressuposto teórico deste número temático é que o passado lembrado se constrói e é construído pelo presente interpretado, bem como pelos futuros imaginados. Embora vários acadêmicos estudem a mobilidade entre a América do Sul e a Europa, até o momento são poucos os estudos sobre os impactos da migração transgeracional nas sociedades de origem e destino.

Esta questão responde à necessidade emergente de estudar a mobilidade transgeracional e seus impactos nos discursos, atitudes e regulamentações relacionadas à cidadania. Em particular, buscam-se perspectivas críticas e interdisciplinares que analisam as mobilidades transgeracionais e transcontinentais entre a América do Sul e a Europa e suas consequências para a definição das bases raciais e étnicas das concepções de cidadania.

Esta chamada de artigos convida à submissão de artigos que, a partir de diferentes perspectivas disciplinares e objetos de análise, abordem as interfaces entre o passado, o presente e o futuro das migrações entre a América do Sul e a Europa. Em particular, são incentivadas contribuições que abordem os seguintes eixos:

Histórico: mobilidade entre a Europa e a América do Sul e impacto nas sociedades de envio e recebimento;
Crítico-normativo: as desigualdades e injustiças que marcam as pontes entre as formas de compreensão e de construção de políticas institucionais no passado e no presente da mobilidade entre a Europa e a América do Sul;
Jurídico: a evolução histórica das políticas migratórias e a circularidade dos marcos regulatórios entre a América do Sul e a Europa;
Família e geração: o papel e as implicações da ancestralidade europeia para os imigrantes sul-americanos na Europa contemporânea;
Museológico: as formas como os museus representam as ligações entre o passado, o presente e o futuro das migrações entre a América do Sul e a Europa;
Meios de comunicação: as diferentes formas como os meios de comunicação narram as migrações passadas e presentes entre os dois continentes;
Atitudinal: possíveis diferenças nas atitudes sociais em relação às migrações passadas e presentes;
Ético-normativo: as implicações éticas e normativas das circularidades trans-históricas entre a América do Sul e a Europa.

At the same time, it presents the organization of the resistance by immigrants against the junta and the controversies caused by the Turkish invasion of Cyprus. The Greek lobby, contrary to what is believed, was the result of a conflict and not a united stance within the Greek-American community.

We will examine the activity of international / intergovernmental organizations that were in charge of managing refugee flows during the Post-WWII period and the characteristics of the European Union (EU) immigration policy. It is based on the premise that the reception of refugees by the EU over time does not contribute to their social integration; on the contrary, inadequate reception conditions serve to repel and dissuade them from entering European territory. The reception policies implemented in Greece are examples of these guidelines and objectives.

Postcolonialism Cross-Examined Multidirectional Perspectives on Imperial and Colonial Pasts and the Neocolonial Present, 2019

Between 2004 and 2008, the film director Kostas Koutsomytis adapted for television three novels dealing with life in Anatolia during the early twentieth century, with a nostalgic gaze on an era of harmonious ethnic cohabitation that was shattered by nationalism and foreign intervention. These TV series aired during the first decade of the twenty-first century, reflecting the Greco-Turkish rapprochement but also an idealization of the Ottoman "Belle Epoque" era, contributed to the shaping of public attitudes towards the Turks and the modifying of long-standing stereotypes.

These series show traces of the gradual recognition of the refugee trauma and the contribution of Anatolian Greeks to modern Greek culture. Without necessarily contesting pre-existing stereotypes, cultural products dealing with these memory themes served as a means of integrating both the Anatolian Greek and the Ottoman, Turkish "other" into popular culture and everyday life.

The ICEM was renamed the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in 1989, after having been gradually transformed into one of the main “migration management” bodies in the world. The studies comprising the volume explore the historical processes and the ideological premises that led to a comparatively high degree of intergovernmental cooperation and to a coordinated approach to the regulation of European population outflows in the post-World War II era, and investigate how migration regulation was conceived in the past and how it was actually implemented. They focus on the initial years of the ICEM’s history, mainly the 1950s, during which the organization galvanized its constitution, its strategies and policies and arranged for the resettlement of almost one million Europeans in overseas countries. They analyze the specificity of the processes leading to the establishment of international organizations in the immediate post-war period: highly dependent on the salience of nation-states, yet partly inspired by and requesting transnational political, social and cultural agency and knowledge.

The ICEM was renamed the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in 1989, after having been gradually transformed into one of the main “migration management” bodies in the world. The studies comprising the volume explore the historical processes and the ideological premises that led to a comparatively high degree of intergovernmental cooperation and to a coordinated approach to the regulation of European population outflows in the post-World War II era, and investigate how migration regulation was conceived in the past and how it was actually implemented. They focus on the initial years of the ICEM’s history, mainly the 1950s, during which the organization galvanized its constitution, its strategies and policies and arranged for the resettlement of almost one million Europeans in overseas countries. They analyze the specificity of the processes leading to the establishment of international organizations in the immediate post-war period: highly dependent on the salience of nation-states, yet partly inspired by and requesting transnational political, social and cultural agency and knowledge.

In the postwar period, regulated migration was widely considered in the West as a route to development and modernization. Southern European and Latin American countries shared this hegemonic view and adopted similar policies, strategies, and patterns, which also served to promote their integration into the Western bloc. This book showcases how overpopulated Southern European countries viewed emigration as a solution for high unemployment and poverty, whereas huge and underpopulated South American developing countries such as Brazil and Argentina looked at skilled European immigrants as a solution to their deficiencies in qualified human resources. By investigating the transnational dynamics, range, and limitations of the ensuing migration flows between Southern Europe and Southern America during the 1950s and 1960s, this book sheds light on post-World War II migration-development nexus strategies and their impact in the peripheral areas of the Western bloc. Whereas many migration studies focus on single countries, the impressive scope of this book will make it an invaluable resource for researchers of the history of migration, development, international relations, as well as Southern Europe and South America.

In this context migration policies that promoted either emigration or immigration became important part of the development strategies in sending and receiving countries respectively. The huge and under populated South American developing countries such as Brazil and Argentina looked at skilled European immigrants as a solution to their deficiencies in qualified human resources whereas overpopulated Southern European countries tried to get rid of their population “surplus” which was considered as a main factor for high unemployment, poverty and underdevelopment.
The conference aims at problematizing the connection between migration policies and strategies of development in the periphery of the “Western World” in the early post-WWII period.
