This book weaves together narratives and images created by community members to document the lived experiences of immigration in the Southern California Inland Empire region. It was born of a community arts and action collaboration with the explicit aim to the usethe arts as cultural strategy for community building, listening, and transformation. The themes that emerged through this project (health, home, family, work, and immigration detention) highlight not only the experiences of the community artists, but also mirror the community organizing campaigns advanced by the organizations that have sponsored this project (Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, Inland Empire Immigrant Youth Collective, Bringing Theory to Practice, and Critical Action + Social Advocacy, Pitzer College). This compilation was created throughout 2020, a year consumed by the triple pandemics of COVID-19, racial violence and economic instability, making the issues explored in this book all the more urgent. To create a just future- one where respect, dignity, belonging, safety, and human rights are recognized for all, not privileges for a few- we must first be able to imagine what that world looks, feels, and sounds like. Utilizing our radical imaginations through the arts moves us from idea to action, from dream to blueprint. Through our photos, our storytelling, we share our challenges and our wounds, as well as our hopes and the places where we plan the possibilities for our futures. We believe this strategy of art-making-as-social-change will someday translate our freedom dreams of a world beyond borders and bars into reality. With this book, we hope readers will be inspired to join us in shifting beliefs and policies that limit our full humanity and rights, while advocating for ones that celebrate our diverse experiences and contributions.

This volume, “Fertility of Immigrants: A Two-Generational Approach in Germany” by Dr. Nadja Milewski, is the sixth book of a series of Demographic Research Monographs published by Springer Verlag. Dr. Milewski is now working for the University of Rostock, but at the time she wrote the book, she was a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. The book is a slightly-revised version of her doctoral dissertation (“Fertility of Immigrants and Their Descendants in West Germany: An Event History Approach”), which she completed at the Max Planck Institute and submitted to the University of Rostock. She was awarded highest honors, summa cum laude, for her dissertation. As Professor Jan Hoem wrote in his review of Dr. Milewski’s dissertation, the research focuses on the patterns and levels of childbearing among immigrant women. Given Germany’s varied immigration experience with refugees, asylum seekers, guest workers, and foreign-born persons of German ancestry, Dr. Milewski’s topic is of particular interest, especially with regard to differences in the patterns and levels of childbearing among various kinds of immigrants to Germany vs. native-born Germans. Numerous empirical and theoretical studies of childbearing among immigrants to various countries have been published and Dr. Milewski carefully reviews them. While earlier studies have tended to be rather fragmentary, particularly for European populations, Dr. Milewski’s research provides a comp- hensive picture of the recent female fertility of post-war migrants and their desc- dants in West Germany, with an emphasis on migrants who came to Germany to work.
