Summary:
In 1997 the United Kingdom returned control of Hong Kong to China, ending the city’s status as one of the last remnants of the British Empire and initiating a new phase for it as both a modern city and a hub for global migrations. Hong Kong is a tour of the city’s postcolonial urban landscape, innovatively told through fieldwork and photography. Caroline Knowles and Douglas Harper’s point of entry into Hong Kong is the unusual position of the British expatriates who chose to remain in the city after the transition. Now a relatively insignificant presence, British migrants in Hong Kong have become intimately connected with another small minority group there: immigrants from Southeast Asia. The lives, journeys, and stories of these two groups bring to life a place where the past continues to resonate for all its residents, even as the city hurtles forward into a future marked by transience and transition.

Summary:
Over 80,000 people have been jailed indefinitely, without charge or trial—this is the invisible reality of immigration detention in Canada. Undocumented: The Architecture of Migrant Detention documents the banality and violence of the architecture in contrast to the stories of daily resistance among immigration detainees. This graphic novel explores the growing industry of immigration detention in Canada, and questions the role of architectural design in such spaces. Undocumented is written by Tings Chak, a multidisciplinary artist and architect based in Toronto.

Summary:
Les photographies possèdent l'étrange pouvoir d'orienter notre vision du monde et d'influencer notre manière de percevoir la réalité. Pour témoigner de l'influence à la fois profonde et unique qu'exerce la photographie sur la culture et la société, Photo Icons passe les grandes étapes de l'histoire de la photographie au microscope. Chaque chapitre de cette édition spéciale se concentre sur une seule image, décrite et analysée en détail, en la replaçant dans son contexte esthétique, historique et artistique. Le livre s'ouvre sur les toutes premières images durablement fixées (l'héliographie de Nicéphore Niépce, vue prise de la fenêtre de son cabinet de travail, obtenue en 1827 suite à une exposition de 8 heures, ainsi que la célèbre scène de rue de Louis Daguerre, prise en 1839) pour conduire le lecteur jusqu'à l'avant-garde de la photographie des années 1920, comme la Mère migrante de Dorothea Lange (1936) et le Baiser de l'Hôtel de ville de Robert Doisneau (1950), jusqu'à la " nouvelle photographie européenne " de Martin Parr.

Summary:
Using comics, interviews, and architectural sketches, ‘Undocumented’ explores a growing industry in an era of militarized borders, state surveillance, and criminalized migration. Originally released in 2014 to an architectural audience, this special edition from Ad Astra Comix features an updated afterword by Syed Hussan (No One Is Illegal, Toronto), as well as an interview with a former detainee. Focusing on Canada’s migrant detention system, where detainees are often held in maximum security prisons without charges for indefinite periods of time, "Undocumented" draws chilling conclusions about the societies that tolerate these punitive spaces of confinement. Proceeds from the sale of each book go to the End Immigration Detention Network.

Summary:
High-population centers of enormous size are springing up in China with dizzying speed. With them comes an increased demand for migrant workers in the construction sector, factories, and mines. In growth centers like the Pearl River Delta in Southern China, 40 million people have already set out from the underdeveloped provinces to earn their living there. The photographer Andreas Seibert accompanied the workers repeatedly in order to document their everyday lives and their journey to the high-population centers. Their stories are told in a collection of striking photographs that provide a close-up portrait to complement the current discussion of economic growth in China. Accompanying the photographs are texts by two Chinese authors, who researched the social and economic background of the phenomenon and provide a direct look. With its combination of text and images, this volume conveys a unique impression of the scale of this modern migration of peoples.

Summary:
This book examines the relationship between migrants and cities in a time of massive urban restructuring. It provides a new approach to the study of migrant settlement and transnational connection in which cities rather than nation-states, ethnic groups, or transnational communities serve as the starting point for comparative analysis. Neither negating nor privileging the nation-state, Locating Migration provides ethnographic insights into the various ways in which migrants and specific cities together mutually constitute and contest the local, national, and global.
