Professor David Abraham’s new contributions to the fields of immigration, citizenship, and welfare-state law appeared in recent weeks. Professor Abraham authored the chapter on “Law and Migration,” appearing in the new edition of the distinguished volume Migration across the Disciplines (New York and London: Routledge Press, 2014), which brings together leading scholars from across the social sciences to assess the state of the field. Abraham also published an essay titled “Immigrant Integration and Social Solidarity in a Time of Crisis: Europe and the U.S. in a Post-Welfare State,” which appears in 1 Critical Historical Studies 2 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2014) and analyzes the decline of the institutions of social solidarity that enabled immigration and the welfare state to coexist in the past but which today play a role in the rise of neo-populist and anti-immigrant sentiment. Professor Abraham began the New Year by delivering a paper at the annual meetings of the American Historical Association in New York, where he spoke on the tensions between nation-state sovereignty and the global movement of goods, capital, and people.
