It is assumed that documents issued by the Vatican reflect the values of the Church, which, it is argued, are the foundation of the practical involvement of Church-affiliated organisations and individuals with refugees. A qualitative case study is conducted in which the values of the global Church are translated into the Church’s hands-on work with boat refugees in southern Europe from 2006 until now. It becomes evident that the Church adopts a much broader definition of ‘refugee’ than international law does, which affects the extent and nature of aid activities of Church-affiliated NGOs and individuals to refugees arriving on Malta and Lampedusa. It is argued that the concept of brotherhood, stemming from the Biblical ideal of being one’s ‘brother’s keeper’, is the underlying logic to the Church’s views on and work with refugees, and that brotherhood is built on trust. The findings of this research are of particular interest to anthropologists studying the interaction between religious NGOs and refugees. As anthropologists are called to be cultural brokers, they must familiarise themselves with the values of beneficiaries as well as donors.Show less

De situatie in China neemt door zijn omvang en karakter echter nieuwe vormen aan. Door sociale en politieke instituties is het voor arbeidsmigranten niet mogelijk hun kinderen mee te nemen van het platteland naar de stedelijke gebieden. In dit onderzoek worden deze instituties geanalyseerd en wat de scheiding van een gezin voor gevolgen heeft voor de ontwikkeling van een kind. Door de sociale contexten te vergelijken, wordt onderzocht wat het effect is van langdurige gezinsopsplitsing voor de hereniging en hoe dit van invloed is op de gehele maatschappij.Show less

Attention will be paid to their status in terms of cultural adjustment and settlement. The gendered nature of their experience of return migration will be specifically considered. How race intersects and impacts the processes of return migration will be also examined. Special attention will be given to the socio-economic aspect of the young returnee’s lives; here the position of the young returnee in the employment market is going to be analyzed. By concentrating on this relatively small group I take distance from populations such as returning retirees which has been widely studied in the Caribbean migration studies.Show less
