This thesis examines the Philippine labor diaspora in the United States, both historical and modern, with a specific focus on the modern period of migration to midsize urban places in Indiana. The historical or pre-1965 period is marked by two successive waves of movement to the United States, each of which is based upon different labor demands for unskilled labor. The modern period was initiated by the 1965 United States Immigration and Naturalization Act and is marked by far greater volumes of Filipinos entering the country. This most recent influx is characterized by significant numbers of professionals, an expression of the regional division of `skilled' labor migration flows between developing and developed countries associated with globalization. Quantitative questionnaires and qualitative interviews with 30 FilipinoAmerican professionals in six mid-size cities in Indiana examined topics of labor recruitment practices, secondary migration patterns, and the remittance practices and group formation associated with transnational identities. / Department of Geography

L’objectif de ce travail est d’analyser les représentations sociales et les stéréotypes sur l’immigration espagnole des années 1960 à Paris, non seulement dans la décennie qui vit arriver massivement des hommes et des femmes espagnols dans la capitale française, mais également dans les années qui suivirent, jusqu’à nos jours. Partant du postulat que tant le pays d’émigration que le pays d’immigration ont produit des discours sur les migrants, ce travail cherche d’abord à repérer ces représentations, à travers trois sources principales : les entretiens oraux, les archives audiovisuelles (photographies, radio, télévision) et les productions fictives (littérature, cinéma). Il en résulte que trois « acteurs » ont produit des discours sur la migration et sur les migrants : la société de départ, la société d’accueil, les migrants eux-mêmes. Le développement proposé s’attache donc à analyser ces discours, à montrer ce qu’ils ont de commun et ce en quoi ils diffèrent. Si certains discours ont laissé peu de traces contemporaines, s’effaçant au fur et à mesure que le temps passait, d’autres ont au contraire perduré dans le temps et sont encore repérables aujourd’hui, tant en Espagne qu’en France. Cette étude montre que ce sont principalement les femmes qui ont fait l’objet de discours et de représentations. En Espagne, une hiérarchisation dans le discours a considéré que l’émigration permettait aux hommes de progresser dans leur métier, tandis qu’elle représentait un danger pour les femmes. En France, c’est la forte présence des femmes espagnoles à Paris qui a alimenté l’essentiel des discours, allant jusqu’à créer un stéréotype : celui de la « bonne à tout faire » Conchita. / The objective of this work is to analyze the social representations and stereotypes concerning Spanish immigration in the 1960s in Paris, not only in the decade that saw the arrival of Spanish women and men in the French capital, but also in the years that followed, until today. Starting from the premise that both the country of emigration and immigration countries have produced discourses on migrants, this work first seeks to identify these representations, mainly from three sources: oral interviews, audiovisual archives (photographs, radio, television), and dummy productions (literature, cinema). It follows that three "players" produced discourse on migration and migrants: the society of origin, the host society, migrants themselves. The proposed development therefore seeks to analyze the speech to show what they have in common and how they differ. If some speech left few traces contemporary, fading gradually as time passed, others have instead endured over time and are still recognizable today, in both Spain and France. This study shows that it is mainly women who have been the subject of speeches and performances. In Spain, emigration was considered an opportunity for men to move forward in their career but rather a danger for women. In France, it is the strong presence of Spanish women in Paris that has fueled most of the speech up to create a stereotype: that of the servant Conchita.

Mexican migrants living in New York City have not uprooted themselves from their homeland as did migrants from previous generations. These contemporary migrants have engaged themselves in the phenomenon of transnationalism, which is characterized by the building and maintenance of simultaneous linkages in both the migrants' country of settlement and their country of origin. New York City is the destination of a large number of Mexican migrants from different regions of the state of Puebla. Leaders of this Mexican state are increasingly engaging in new practices so that the Poblano (people from Puebla) population abroad remains socially, politically, culturally and economically part of the state from which it originated. This thesis is an ethnography of Casa Puebla, an organization in New York created conjointly by the Poblano migrants and their state government. It explores and describes the practices and activities employed by the leadership of this organization for involving migrants in a transnational experience. It also explores the role of this organization as a venue for the construction of a deterritorialized state of Puebla in New York and an "imagined" Poblano community. By strengthening the migrants' identification with their state of origin, the state can make new claims for their loyalty and sustain political, social and economic relationships between the Poblano migrants and their state of origin despite their living in another country. The creation of transnational organizations sponsored by the state of origin reflects the growing institutionalization of migration orchestrated by the sending regional states and highlights the role of the middle entity--the regional state— in the construction of the transnational experience. / Arts, Faculty of / History, Department of / Graduate
