Battleground: Immigration [2 volumes] by Judith Ann Warner Pdf

Among the most tumultuous conflicts of modern America is the war over legal and undocumented immigrants currently residing within U.S. borders. Since the passing of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act, America has witnessed an unprecedented flow of immigrants onto its shores, with increased diversity of race and culture. Battleground: Immigration examines the most critical issues surrounding immigration today, including effects on the economy, education, and employment, as well as the viability of the foreign-born in American society. All sides of the immigration debate are explored in this comprehensive 2-volume set, with special weight given to the very specific issues that have arisen in post-9/11 America: homeland security and border control, 9/11's impact on legislation and civil liberties; the Department of Homeland security and its role in border control; transnational organized crime, human smuggling and trafficking; and post 9/11 border control and security impact on immigration. With direct ties to the curriculum, this set is a valuable resource for students of sociology, current events, American history, political science, ethnic studies, and public policy.

Songs for Tomorrow by Oscar C. Labang Pdf

... The poems in this collection, consequently, speak the immortal language of confusion, betrayal, anger, hate, and despair, in relation to Cameroon and the world at large, yet there is room for true love, and forgiveness. It is true that in an increasingly unstable nation and a world that seems to have lost its head, the works of writers, such as the poets here assembled, must engage in a most powerful manner the goals and ethos of the entire human race. These then are poems by poets who are desperate yet practically involved in an individual but equally collective effort to trigger positive change throughout their national territory and wherever the wailing voices of mankind suffering under the yoke of oppression, disillusionment, and despair can be heard. Consequently, these are poems shaped by the poets' experiences and those of their societies as a whole. These poets mean their poems to reshape the cosmos, to shatter especially government sponsored illusions by making concrete the reality which has, until of recent, only been a mirage to the common man; hence, the socio-cultural nature of the contextual definition of this volume.

Immigrant by Emily A. Midianga Pdf

Based on question asked by American friends and families I meet on my day-to-day encounters, I finally decided to compile this book to help those who are mixed up on matters unfamiliar to them, people who are too shy to ask, people driven by extreme sense of respect, and the fear of offending somebody and/or those who are driven by the fear of being thought of as "stupid." To those who may disrespect people from other parts of the world for their beliefs and cultures, the foods they eat, or merely the way they live""feeling embarrassed themselves, not wishing for anybody to know the way "their people live back home"""you are not alone.

Das Arkansas Echo by Kathleen Condray Pdf

In the late nineteenth century, a thriving immigrant population supported three German-language weekly newspapers in Arkansas. Most traces of the community those newspapers served disappeared with assimilation in the ensuing decades—but luckily, the complete run of one of the weeklies, Das Arkansas Echo, still exists, offering a lively picture of what life was like for this German immigrant community. “Das Arkansas Echo”: A Year in the Life of Germans in the Nineteenth-Century South examines topics the newspaper covered during its inaugural year. Kathleen Condray illuminates the newspaper’s crusade against Prohibition, its advocacy for the protection of German schools and the German language, and its promotion of immigration. We also learn about aspects of daily living, including food preparation and preservation, religion, recreation, the role of women in the family and society, health and wellness, and practical housekeeping. And we see how the paper assisted German speakers in navigating civic life outside their immigrant community, including the racial tensions of the post-Reconstruction South. “Das Arkansas Echo”: A Year in the Life of Germans in the Nineteenth-Century South offers a fresh perspective on the German speakers who settled in a modernizing Arkansas. Mining a valuable newspaper archive, Condray sheds light on how these immigrants navigated their new identity as southern Americans.

Italian Immigrant Radical Culture by Marcella Bencivenni Pdf

Maligned by modern media and often stereotyped, Italian Americans possess a vibrant, if largely forgotten, radical past. In Italian Immigrant Radical Culture, Marcella Bencivenni delves into the history of the sovversivi, a transnational generation of social rebels, and offers a fascinating portrait of their political struggle as well as their milieu, beliefs, and artistic creativity in the United States. As early as 1882, the sovversivi founded a socialist club in Brooklyn. Radical organizations then multiplied and spread across the country, from large urban cities to smaller industrial mining areas. By 1900, thirty official Italian sections of the Socialist Party along the East Coast and countless independent anarchist and revolutionary circles sprang up throughout the nation. Forming their own alternative press, institutions, and working class organizations, these groups created a vigorous movement and counterculture that constituted a significant part of the American Left until World War II. Italian Immigrant Radical Culture compellingly documents the wide spectrum of this oppositional culture and examines the many cultural and artistic forms it took, from newspapers to literature and poetry to theater and visual art. As the first cultural history of Italian American activism, it provides a richer understanding of the Italian immigrant experience while also deepening historical perceptions of radical politics and culture.

Letting the Other Speak by Tracy Hartman Pdf

From prostitutes to polygamy, witches to widows, foreigners to slaves, the Bible is full of texts about women who have been classified as “other” and pushed to the margins of society. In the academy, feminist, liberation and post-colonial theologians have challenged the disparaging categorization of these biblical women and redefined them as sacred insiders, whose contributions to Judeo-Christian history offer ongoing lessons about the inclusive nature of God. Letting the Other Speak: Proclaiming the Stories of Biblical Women helps pastors, Christian educators, professors and theological students bring the stories of six controversial biblical women to congregations by surveying historical and contemporary exegetical work on each passage, modeling exegeting a congregation in preparation for moving from text to sermon, and providing two sample sermons, one prophetic and one pastoral, for each text.
