Franco, and Ibrahim OuédraogoBerkeley University of California Press20131 online resource (273 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-520-27672-8 1-299-73877-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preamble -- Emmanuel -- Roberto -- Ibrahim -- Postscript -- Appendix: Existential Mobility -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- IndexThe Wherewithal of Life engages with current developments in the anthropology of ethics and migration studies to explore in empirical depth and detail the life experiences of three young men - a Ugandan migrant in Copenhagen, a Burkina Faso migrant in Amsterdam, and a Mexican migrant in Boston - in ways that significantly broaden our understanding of the existential situations and ethical dilemmas of those migrating from the global south. Michael Jackson offers the first biographically based phenomenological account of migration and mobility, providing new insights into the various motives, tactics, dilemmas, dreams, and disappointments that characterize contemporary migration. It is argued that the quandaries of African or Mexican migrants are not unique to people moving between 'traditional' and 'modern' worlds. While more intensely felt by the young, seeking to find a way out of a world of limited opportunity and circumscribed values, the experiences of transition are familiar to us all, whatever our age, gender, ethnicity or social status - namely, the impossibility of calculating what one may lose in leaving a settled life or home place; what one may gain by risking oneself in an alien environment; the difficulty of striking a balance between personal fulfillment and the moral claims of kinship; and the struggle to know the difference between 'concrete' and 'abstract' utopias (the first reasonable and worth pursuing; the second hopelessly unattainable).AnthropologyPhilosophyEthicsAnthropological aspectsWell-beingImmigrantsCross-cultural studiesafrica.america.amsterdam.anthropologists.anthropology.biographical.boston.burkina faso migrant.contemporary migration.copenhagen.cultural anthropology.discussion books.ethical dilemmas.ethics.europe.global south.immigrant experiences.life changes.life experiences.mexican migrant.migration studies.migration.modern life.nonfiction.phenomenological accounts.philosophy.social historians.social science.ugandan migrant.well being.AnthropologyPhilosophy.EthicsAnthropological aspects.Well-being.Immigrants301.01Jackson Michael1940-960686Mulamila Emmanuel1508074Franco Roberto M241716Ouédraogo Ibrahim1508075MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779711903321The wherewithal of life3739275UNINA01156nam 2200409 450 991082536570332120220520123525.02-36493-994-1(CKB)4100000005466958(MiAaPQ)EBC5718768(Au-PeEL)EBL5718768(OCoLC)1089007320(PPN)237791013(EXLCZ)99410000000546695820190309d2018 uy 0freurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBDM Géométrie Affine et Euclidienne /Jean-Jacques Colin and Jean-Marie MorvanToulouse :Cepadues Editions,[2018]©20181 online resource (160 pages)2-36493-594-6 GeometryResearchGeometryResearch.516Colin Jean-Jacques1688128Morvan J.-M.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825365703321BDM Géométrie Affine et Euclidienne4062109UNINA
