In the electronic age the increase in Internet-mediated marriages constitute a new phenomenon among Filipinas who navigate the Web in search of (mostly) American spouses. This article discusses the notion of the 'cultural logic of desire' (Constable 2003) as the basis for Filipinas' preference for American male spouses. This logic has been fashioned out of a specific historical relationship between the United States and the Philippines in which American cultural superiority and American benevolence provide the filters for Filipino women's marital preferences. This logic underlies these migration choices. The United States as the proverbial 'land of milk and honey' constitutes migrants' first preference as a destination, and marriage as the most efficient route by which to realise migrants' aspirations.

In response to the post-crisis regulatory reforms, the European banking sector has undergone significant changes that have led banks to reconsider their strategies, structures, and operations. Based on a sample of over 3,000 banks from 32 European countries during the period 2010-2017, we identify banks' business models based on cluster analysis and track their evolution. We then apply a logistic regression and find that banks with higher risk and lower profitability are more likely to change their business model. Employing a propensity score matching approach, we investigate the effect of migration on bank performance and find that changing the business model affects banks positively, i.e., migrating banks increase their profitability, stability, and cost-efficiency. The effect of migration differs depending on the target business model. When switches are a consequence of being acquired or motivated by regulatory compliance, the positive impact remains.

Ten years after sociologist Mary Romero lamented the "ideological and theoretical gulf between immigration research and the sociology of race," researchers have begun to bridge this theoretical gulf by centering critical race theory in studies of migration. Building on these analyses, this article argues that migration flows and immigrant incorporation are shaped not only by white supremacy but also by patriarchy and global capitalism. Insofar as migrants, predominantly from the Global South, are usually racialized as non-white, and come to work in a labor market shaped by exploitation, oppression, and patriarchy, it is critical to think of migrant flows and settlement within the context of what bell hooks describes as a White supremacist capitalist patriarchy. We draw from examples from our research with a broad spectrum of migrants and their children to elucidate how these three systems of oppression shape the experiences of migrants.

This book offers a historically sweeping yet detailed view of world-systemic migration as a racialized process. Since the early expansion of the world-system, the movement of people has been its central process. Not only have managers of capital moved to direct profitable expansion; they have also forced, cajoled or encouraged workers to move in order to extract, grow, refi ne, manufacture and transport materials and commodities. The book offers historical cases that show that migration introduces and deepens racial dominance in all zones of the world-system. This often forces indigenous and imported slaves or bonded labor to extract, process and move raw materials. Yet it also often creates a contradiction between capital's need to direct labor to where it enables profitability, and the desires of large sections of dominant populations to keep subordinate people of color marginalized and separate. Case studies reveal how core states are concurrently users and blockers of migrant labor. Key examples are Mexican migrants in the United States, both historically and in contemporary society. The United States even promotes of an image of a society that welcomes the immigrant--while policy realities often quite different. Nonetheless, the volume ends with a vision of a future whereby communities from below, both activists and people simply following their communal interests, can come together to create a society that overcomes racism. Its final chapter is a hopeful call by Immanuel Wallerstein for people to make small changes that, together, can bring real about real, revolutionary change.
