Описание: International customary law prescribes a minimum standard of treatment with which all nations must accord-aliens are entitled to ""life, liberty, and property"" while resident outside their own country. Based on a first-hand examination of original sources, this survey shows that, while the United States has carefully maintained its sovereign right to control and limit the immigration of aliens, it has been very generous to those within its gates.

Описание: Millions of southerners left the South in the twentieth century in a mass migration that has, in many ways, rewoven the fabric of American society on cultural, political, and economic levels. Because the movements of southerners-and people in general-are controlled not only by physical boundaries marked on a map but also by narratives that define movement, narrative is central in building and sustaining borders and in breaking them down. In Leaving the South: Border Crossing Narratives and the Remaking of Southern Identity, author Mary Weaks-Baxter analyzes narratives by and about those who left the South and how those narratives have remade what it means to be southern. Drawing from a broad range of narratives, including literature, newspaper articles, art, and music, Weaks-Baxter outlines how these displacement narratives challenged concepts of southern nationhood and redefined southern identity. Close attention is paid to how depictions of the South, particularly in the media and popular culture, prompted southerners to leave the region and changed perceptions of southerners to outsiders as well as how southerners saw themselves. Through an examination of narrative, Weaks-Baxter reveals the profound effect gender, race, and class have on the nature of the migrant's journey, the adjustment of the migrant, and the ultimate decision of the migrant either to stay put or return home, and connects the history of border crossings to the issues being considered in today's national landscape.

Описание: Winner of the 2020 Jordan Schnitzer Book Award in Social Science, Anthropology, and Folklore Honorable Mention, 2021 Saul Viener Book PrizeThe Jews' Indian investigates the history of American Jewish relationships with Native Americans, both in the realm of cultural imagination and in face-to-face encounters. These two groups' exchanges were numerous and diverse, proving at times harmonious when Jews' and Natives people's economic and social interests aligned, but discordant and fraught at other times. American Jews could be as exploitative of Native cultural, social, and political issues as other American settlers, and historian David Koffman argues that these interactions both unsettle and historicize the often triumphant consensus history of American Jewish life. Focusing on the ways Jewish class mobility and civic belonging were wrapped up in the dynamics of power and myth making that so severely impacted Native Americans, this books is provocative and timely, the first history to critically analyze Jewish participation in, and Jews' grappling with the legacies of Native American history and the colonial project upon which America rests.

Автор: Anderson Shannon Название: Immigration, Assimilation, and the Cultural Construction of American National Identity ISBN: 1138100412 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781138100411 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 163330.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Over the course of the 20th century, there have been three primary narratives of American national identity: the melting pot, Anglo-Protestantism, and cultural pluralism/multi-culturalism. This book offers a social and historical perspective on what shaped each of these imaginings, when each came to the fore, and which appear especially relevant early in the 21st century. These issues are addressed by looking at the United States and elite notions of the meaning of America across the 20th century, centering on the work of Horace Kallen, Nathan Glazer and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, and Samuel P. Huntington. Four structural areas are examined in each period: the economy, involvement in foreign affairs, social movements, and immigration. What emerges is a narrative arc whereby immigration plays a clear and crucial role in shaping cultural stories of national identity as written by elite scholars. These stories are represented in writings throughout all three periods, and in such work we see the intellectual development and specification of the dominant narratives, along with challenges to each. Important conclusions include a keen reminder that identities are often formed along borders both external and internal, that structure and culture operate dialectically, and that national identity is hardly a monolithic, static formation.

Описание: This edited volume provides interdisciplinary perspectives on the interpellation of migration and (de)colonisation, paying particular attention to how these two phenomena have been experienced and have impacted upon one another in the Caribbean and its diasporas. The volume advances our understanding of processes of (de)colonisation as a set of multidirectional processes. The term ‘(de)colonisation’ encapsulates the multiplicity of processes of colonisation that are advancing and receding simultaneously across various contexts. This work represents an ambitious project to integrate a range of perspectives on continuing processes of (de)colonisation. Eminent historians of enslavement, Geoffrey Cubitt and Laurajane Smith, have recently highlighted the urgent need to include the contributions of practitioners in academic discussions concerning race (2011). With a similar ethos, the chapters in this volume represent a conversation between academics, the interested public, and community activists to promote a more democratic and publicly engaged analysis of decolonisation and Caribbean migration. To this end, the editors have decided to include the contributions of practitioners alongside chapters by academics. These chapters, shorter in length that the academic pieces, provide forceful and scholarly critiques of experiences of migration and (de)colonisation. Taken together, the chapters thus illustrate the importance and validity of collaboration between the academy and the interested public.
Memory, Migration, and (De)colonisation thus provides original, timely, and important contributions to the historiographies of (de)colonisation and migration and, above all, serves to enhance our understanding of the various experiences of Caribbean pasts and presents.

Описание: Between 1882 and 1930 approximately 9,800 Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe settled in Winnipeg. Newly arrived Jewish immigrants began to establish secular mutual aid societies, organizations based on egalitarian principles of communal solidarity that dealt with the pervasive problem of economic insecurity by providing financial relief to their members. The organization of mutual aid societies accelerated the development of a vibrant secular public sphere in Winnipeg's Jewish community in which decisions about the provision of social welfare were decided democratically based on the authority and participation of the people. Communal Solidarity: Immigration, Settlement, and Social Welfare in Winnipeg's Jewish Community, 1882-1930 looks at the development of Winnipeg's Jewish community and the network of institutions and organizations they established to provide income assistance, health care, institutional care for children and the elderly, and immigrant aid to reunite families. Communal solidarity enabled the Jewish community to establish and sustain a system of social welfare that assisted thousandsof immigrants to adjust to an often inhospitable city and build new lives in Canada. Arthur Ross's study of the formation of Winnipeg's Jewish community is not only the first history of the societies, institutions, and organizations Jewish immigrants created, it reveals how communal solidarity shaped their understanding of community life and the way decisions should be made about their collective future.

Описание: Freedom without Justice is a compelling story of one man’s wrongful incarceration and the actions he took to survive ten years in prison, while his supporters fought to win retrial and freedom. As a memoir, it is at once a captivating chronicle of his life with a trenchant description of how prisons end up producing the non-normativity they purport to prevent. This unusual story is part of an important chapter in the post-1964 history of Asian American activism.Chol Soo Lee’s saga begins against a backdrop of great historical change in Asian American communities following the passage of the 1965 Immigration Act. At the age of twelve, Chol Soo immigrated to the United States from South Korea to reunite with his mother, who had arrived earlier as a military bride. In less than a decade, Chol Soo finds himself labeled as a violent criminal, convicted, and incarcerated.Quickly Chol Soo Lee became a rallying point for an extraordinary pan–Asian American movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and Freedom without Justice provides a rare and valuable glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when the Asian American movement united around one of its first major political campaigns. The Lee case brought together immigrants and American-born Asians in a common cause of justice and freedom. This alliance of supporters, organized under a national network of the Chol Soo Lee Defense Committee, included student activists, elderly immigrants, religious organizations, small business owners, white-collar professionals, social workers, lawyers, legal assistance organizations, and left-wing communist groups nationwide. In the end the united front that mobilized to attain social and legal justice for Chol Soo Lee was a remarkable coalition of people from a broad spectrum of social backgrounds that transcended ethnicity, class, political ideology, religion, generation, and language. This diverse grassroots social movement initiated and organized a six-year “Free Chol Soo Lee!” campaign that led to Lee’s historic release from San Quentin’s death row in 1983. Incarcerated during a time when Asian American inmates were scarce, and Korean Americans even scarcer, Lee embodies social realities of race and class inequalities drawing readers into his social worlds—war-torn Korea, the streets of San Francisco, the criminal justice system, prison gang politics, and death row.
