Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies 2018 72 Tamirace Fakhoury INTRODUCTION The field of transnational migrant activism I has generated important insights into the ways in which Arab communities around the world have used exilic spheres to transnationalize dissent and mobilize against their authoritarian homelands.' Still, migration scholars do not so far dispose of sufficient cross­ comparative data to assess the impact of Arab emigration waves on Arab political systems.' In 20ll, the anti-regime uprisings, which have spurred Arab communities abroad to participate in their homeland's affairs,4 provide exceptional terrain to study Arab transnational politics and their effects.' This article seeks to advance understanding of the participation of Arab migrant communities in the 2011 anti-regime uprisings and the interactive processes that impact their mobilization on the ground. Building on the 'iconic' Egyptian uprising that inspired contention in other Arab polities,' it draws on the case study of Egyptian communities in the United States and maps the transnational practices in which Egyptians in the US engaged to sustain political ties with Egypt in the period between 25 january and 11 February 2011 and its direct aftermath.

  • Sub-Saharian Immigration in France : from Diversity to Integration
    Sub-Saharian immigration in France : from diversity to integration. Caroline JUILLARD Université René Descartes-Paris V The great majority of Sub-Saharian African migration comes from West - Africa, more precisely from francophone countries as Senegal, Mali, and into a lesser extent Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania. There are also migrants from other francophone African countries such as : Zaïre (RDC), Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Niger. Migrants consist mostly of workers and students. I shall speak principally of West-African migration for which sociolinguistic sources are not many. My talk will have three main parts. I General characteristics of this migration. A/ Census data First of all, I will discuss census data. The major trend of immigration to France nowadays comes from Sub-Saharian Africa ; it has tripled between 1982 et 1990 and almost doubled according to the last census of 1999 (Cf. Annexes). According to 1999 census, this migrant population counts more or less 400.000 persons. Official data are multiple and differ from one source to the other. Variations are important. Children born in France from immigrant parents do not participate to the immigrant population and, so for, are not included in the migration population recorded by the national census. They are recorded by the national education services. Moreover, there might be more persons without residency permit within the Sub-Saharian migration than within other migrant communities. I 2 mention here well-known case of “les sans-papiers”, people without residency permit, who recently asked for their integration to France. Case of clandestines has to be mentioned too. Data of INSEE1 do not take into account these people.

  • The Political Participation of the Diaspora of the Middle East And
    C Sarsar, C D’Hondt, MT Di Lenna, A al-Khulidi & S Taha ‘The political participation of the diaspora of the Middle East and North Africa before and after the Arab uprisings’ (2019) 3 Global Campus Human Rights Journal 52-75 https://doi.org/20.500.11825/995 The political participation of the diaspora of the Middle East and North Africa before and after the Arab uprisings Chafic Sarsar, Cedric D’Hondt, Maria Teresia Di Lenna, Ali al- Khulidi and Suhail Taha* Abstract: The role of the Arab diasporas in the political processes of their home countries has changed significantly since the 2011 uprisings. The article aims to analyse these changes and assess the impact that diasporas have had on the democratisation processes of the post-2011 transitions. It does so by looking at examples of both direct and indirect diasporas’ participation in the politics of their home countries during and after the uprisings through mechanisms such as lobbying, campaigning, national dialogue initiatives, and voting in the parliamentary elections. The background to the social, economic and political contributions of the Arab diasporas before 2011 highlights the multiple identities of the diaspora communities abroad as well as the changes to their inclusion from disputed members of the regimes’ opposition to a more active civil society. With the shifting social and political environment of the last decade, the examples demonstrate the important political role that diasporas could play in cooperation and bridge building, both locally and internationally. However, they also demonstrate the obstacles and severe limitations they face in their inclusion in the governments’ transition to democratic governance.

  • Social Media and Protest Mobilization: Evidence from the Tunisian Revolution
    Social Media and Protest Mobilization: Evidence from the Tunisian Revolution Anita Breuer German Development Institute Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik German Development Institute Tulpenfeld 6 D - 53113 Bonn www.die-gdi.de [email protected] Todd Landman Institute for Democracy and Conflict Resolution, University of Essex University of Essex Wivenhoe Park Colchester, Essex CO4 3SQ United Kingdom www.idcr.org.uk [email protected] Dorothea Farquhar Institute for Democracy and Conflict Resolution, University of Essex University of Essex Wivenhoe Park Colchester, Essex CO4 3SQ United Kingdom www.idcr.org.uk [email protected] Paper prepared for the 4th European Communication Conference for the European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA), Istanbul, Turkey, 24-27 October 2012. DRAFT ONLY: DO NOT CITE WITHOUT THE AUTHORS’ PERMISSION Abstract One of the hallmarks of the Arab Spring uprisings has been the role of social media in articulating demands of the popular protesters and broadcasting dramatic events as they unfolded, but it is less clear whether social media acted as a catalyst for many of the movements in the region. Using evidence from the popular protests in Tunisia between December 2010 and January 2011, this paper argues that social media acted as an important resource for popular mobilization against the regime of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Drawing on the insights from ‘resource mobilization theory’ (RMT), we show that social media (1) allowed a ‘digital elite’ to break the national media blackout through brokering information for mainstream media; (2) provided the basis for intergroup collaboration that facilitated a large ‘cycle of protest’ to develop; (3) overcame the collective action problem through reporting event magnitudes that raised the perception of success for potential free riders, and (4) led to an additional element of ‘emotional mobilization’ through depicting the worst atrocities associated with the regime’s response to the protests.

    H-France Review Volume 14 (2014) Page 1 H-France Review Vol. 14 (August 2014), No. 127 Linda Guerry, Le genre de l’immigration et de la naturalisation: L’exemple de Marseille (1918-1940). Lyon: ENS Editions, 2013. 303 pp. Maps, tables, figures, and bibliography. 26.00€. (pb). ISBN 978-2-84788- 342-8. ISSN 1258-1135. Review by Leslie Page Moch, Michigan State University. Linda Guerry has tackled the important question of gender and immigration from a fresh and thorough perspective, using a triad of lenses--focusing first on the discourse about male and female newcomers, then on immigrant women in the labor force, and finally on naturalization by application or through marriage. Guerry asks how gender affected not only how immigrants were viewed, but also one’s chances for residence and work permits and for citizenship. It is well known that French naturalization law became welcoming in the 1920s, when the need for new workers and their children was felt most keenly; this resulted in the reducing of residency requirements from a decade to three years with legislation passed in 1927. Guerry shows us that this is a small part of the story of gender and immigration, and she does so by investigating not only national trends and discourse, but also by delving into administrative practice and the particular case of Marseille in the crucial interwar period, when a welcoming and labor-hungry France turned xenophobic with the depressed labor market in the 1930s. Anglophone readers have long been aware of the key role of Marseille in our understanding

Abstract Most research into contemporary French West Indian literature focuses on writing that stresses the significance of the plantation and urban cultures of the islands in the early to mid-twentieth century or, more recently, on the desire of some writers to explore broader trans-national influences or environments.

  • Incorporating Immigrants: Theatrical Aid Work and the Politics of Witnessing in France
    Incorporating Immigrants: Theatrical Aid Work and the Politics of Witnessing in France by Emine Fisek A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair Professor Saba Mahmood Professor Shannon Steen Professor Soraya Tlatli Spring 2010 Incorporating Immigrants: Theatrical Aid Work and the Politics of Witnessing in France © 2010 by Emine Fisek Abstract Incorporating Immigrants: Theatrical Aid Work and the Politics of Witnessing in France by Emine Fisek Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair There is emerging in France today a particular relationship between theater practice and immigration. Paris-based organizations interested in immigrant rights, from humanitarian groups to juridical aid collectives to arts organizations both large and small, are funding projects that ask participants to formulate their life experiences as public performances, collaborate with professional actors and expand their corporal repertoires. These activities are imagined to endow participants with an opportunity to self-express and a capacity to integrate within a new world. Whether in the context of language classes for immigrant women in underprivileged neighborhoods, or as a practical activity facilitating asylum seekers‟ socio-professional insertion into French life, what I refer to as theatrical aid work is emerging as a practice that can address the vexed question of immigrant rights, integration and experience. Drawing on both ethnographic and historical research, this dissertation examines the relationship between these embodied acts and the “performers” and “publics” they aim to engender.
