“…This continual unfolding resists the reduction of affairs to matters of fact. While the logic of control risks objectifying recipients of care, by treating them as fixed entities amenable to standardised interventions across time and space, the logic of care is oriented towards the continual and situated co‐production of subjecthood (Samanani, 2017). As Arendt (2013 [1958]) suggests, this continual unfolding is marked by “natality” and “plurality,” meaning that it is through these ongoing negotiations that new ethical possibilities emerge into the world, capable of making the world other than it already is.…”

Drawing on in‐depth interviews with first‐time parents in the city of Oxford, we offer a critical examination of how notions of care can transform practices of research and analysis within human geography. We argue care offers a committed practice of knowing and relating within research where data collection, analysis, and scholarly narratives are all implicated in the remaking of everyday worlds that, in turn, reveal a new terrain of political potentiality.

Migrants' interactions with members of communities of origin are restricted (Menjívar 2006;Samanani 2017), and existing social capital is not easily mobilized, as it hardly corresponds to their needs. For these reasons, we posit social interactions are based on relationships built throughout the arrival or previous migration experience (such as trajectories to Mexico City from the Mexico's southern border), oriented towards different groups (including other migrants), civil society actors, and other social actors, as well as institutional representatives in the new urban context.…”

New migration configurations, particularly regarding access to resources for arriving migrants in urban contexts, have emerged in Mexico. As a destination for newly arrived international immigrant populations, Mexico City has become especially important. Stranded migration situations have produced fragmented journeys for Latin American migrants who are on their way to the United States. With the strengthening of immigration containment policies and the insecurity in Mexico, the complexity of immigrant journeys has led to new ways of settling in the country, temporarily or permanently. This paper is based on empirical elements to analyze the experiences of migrants who have recently arrived in Mexico City using a perspective centred on their everyday practices in the urban space. It highlights the different tactics and strategies that migrants develop depending on the characteristics of their migration process and their need for access to resources, like housing, employment, health care, and education. We point out that, in a context of restricted access to resources or an immigration status, utilizing alternate and informal strategies in micro‐local spaces is common in the city and part of a negotiated urbanity in an unknown metropolitan environment. We argue that, despite the local intercultural policy implemented by the government of Mexico City, situations of legal precariousness and transitoriness that characterize the urban practices and patterns of incorporation into the city constrain international migrants’ access to their rights.

“…Findings from this concept analysis showed that immigrant and refugee women experienced cultural alienation from health care providers and struggled finding adequate health care and shelter for themselves and their children 17,18,26 . Nurses can support these women by making warm referrals to different groups, 1 but not limited to migrant organizations, Women Infant and Children (WIC) programmes, refugee cultural centers, and churches to increase sociocultural integration and reduce potential consequences of acculturative stress.…”

“…In order for someone to experience cultural alienation, there has to be at least one majority and minority group involved. It is derived from two different senses (a) biological characteristics 17–24 like race or sex and (b) values 19,20,23–30 such as tastes or preferences. Its main antecedents were the following: (1) Identification with racial or ethnic minority group; (2) Sexual minority; (3) Disability; (4) Chronic illness; (5) Insufficient and inadequate sense of belonging, community, or refuge; (6) Nontraditional health‐care practices and preferences; and (7) Threat to loss of way of life and culture.…”

“…The main attributes included: (1) Vulnerable, (2) Traditional, (3) Dissonant, (4) Different, (5) Nonconforming, (6) Negotiator, (7) Preserving, and (8) Sustaining. Attributes were based upon the antecedents, whether given at birth 17–19,21,24 or acquired throughout the lifespan 22,23,28,29 . Many persons living with a chronic disease and/or disability shared that the sense of alienation became an unfortunate part of their daily lives, which reveals that cultural alienation is not just limited to racial and ethnic differences.…”

Aim To analyze the concept of cultural alienation Background Culturally diverse populations are increasing nationwide. However, many culturally diverse clients have experienced cultural alienation. Design Rodgerian's method of concept analysis Data Source Literature in CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, JSTOR, Scopus, LGBT Life, and Oxford Bibliographic databases were searched. Inclusion criteria were full text, peer‐reviewed, English language, and published within 5 years. Review Methods Articles were read in their entirety and reread to determine more contextual data. Antecedents, attributes, and consequences were extracted. Results Fifteen studies were included. Antecedents included: identification with racial, ethnic, sexual minority, disability, chronic illness, and threat to way of life. Attributes were traditional, different, negotiator, preserving, and sustaining. Consequences resulted in sociocultural deprivation, resistance, mistrust, distrust, loss of identity, and racism. Conclusions Nurses, health care providers, and communities can better support and engage their clients by working together to create an inclusive environment, in which exists a safe space to work, play, and heal. Findings highlight the need to examine one's own assumptions, inquire about the client's cultural care needs, tailor communication at the client's level, acknowledge individual strengths, provide empathetic support, and promote autonomy.
