The article explores Sudanese migration, destination countries, motivation factors, and gender roles. An online survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020–2021. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the findings reveal that the main reasons for migration were lack of jobs and low salaries. Other factors included a commitment to success, corruption, and time consumption in government institutions. Arab Gulf countries were the primary destination for economic migration, followed by Europe. More females, despite the restriction of culture and tradition, are seeing migration as a means to establish their projects to help others. Sudanese migration identified more youth, regardless of migration type. Remittances had a greater positive impact on households than on the country in general.

The article illustrates the multi-sited use of the ethnographic method and the narrative in-depth interview in research on transnational migration between Bangladesh and Italy. Assuming a Sayadian perspective, the author explores the ways of accessing the transnational research field, the dynamics of anticipatory socialization at the interview within the transnational space, and the opportunity for collective self-socio-analysis and construction of a family memory that an in-depth interview implies. Finally, the article deepens the implications that the use of linguistic translators entails in ethnographic work and interpretative research.

In recent years, the emigration of increasingly educated young people has intensified the public discourse on brain drain. This article sheds light on the situation of emigration of the most highly educated in Slovenia and uses statistics to show their migration dynamics over the last ten years. By briefly reviewing the results of research since the 1960s, we compare the situation today with that of the past. Based on the results of the latest survey on brain drain, we present how those who currently live or have lived abroad and have returned to Slovenia see the reasons for leaving Slovenia and the prospects for return or international cooperation.

The paper focuses on the activities of US Rep. John Blatnik (D-MN 8th District) in the House of Representatives between 1963 and 1964, when the landmark Civil Rights Act was passed that finally eliminated lawful discrimination against black Americans. The paper summarizes original letters from constituents in Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District, where many Slovenian Americans lived. The paper briefly summarizes the history of racial discrimination in the United States.

In a labor-intensive sector such as agriculture, safety and health-related risks are high. They are particularly pronounced for migrant farmworkers, and various health-related programs tailored to their particular needs have been developed. Twenty semi-structured interviews with health and safety professionals and researchers working on these issues in four US federal states show that the most important issues affecting this group are insecure or undocumented legal status, poor working and living conditions, and inadequate access to support services. The importance of building “communities of migrant farmworkers” and direct engagement with this group was emphasized.
