Описание:

Since its founding, the U.S. has struggled with
issues of federalism and states’ rights. In almost every area of law, from
abortion to zoning, conflicts arise between the states and the federal
government over which entity is best suited to create and enforce laws. In the
last decade, immigration has been on the front lines of this debate, with
states such as Arizona taking an extremely assertive role in policing
immigrants within their borders. While Arizona and its notorious SB 1070 is the
most visible example of states claiming expanded responsibility to make and
enforce immigration law, it is far from alone. An ordinance in
Hazelton, Pennsylvania prohibited landlords from renting to the undocumented. Several
states have introduced legislation to deny citizenship to babies who are born
to parents who are in the United States without authorization. Other states
have also enacted legislation aimed at driving out unauthorized migrants.
Strange Neighbors explores the complicated and complicating role
of the states in immigration policy and enforcement, including voices from both
sides of the debate. While many contributors point to the dangers inherent in
state regulation of immigration policy, at least two support it, while others
offer empirically-based examinations of state efforts to regulate immigration
within their borders, pointing to wide, state-by-state disparities in
locally-administered immigration policies and laws. Ultimately, the book offers
an extremely timely, thorough, and spirited discussion on an issue that will
continue to dominate state and federal legislatures for years to come.

Описание: Now thoroughly updated, this widely praised book provides a thoughtful and balanced examination of the development of Russian foreign policy since the end of the Cold War. This edition also places developments of the past two decades into the broader sweep of Russian history. Jeffrey Mankoff argues that Russia's more assertive behavior since Vladimir Putin became president in 2000 has resulted from both a deep-seated consensus among its elite about Russia's identity and interests as well as a favorable convergence of events--including the persistence of high energy prices and the check on U.S. power resulting from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because these factors are the result of long-term trends, the author argues that there is little reason to expect that the election of Dmitry Medvedev will fundamentally alter Russian foreign policy behavior. Presenting an evenhanded treatment of controversial issues, Mankoff analyzes Russia's interactions with major global actors, including the United States, the European Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and China. Despite Moscow's often-harsh rhetoric and the deployment of Russian forces against Georgia in 2008, the author convincingly demonstrates that there is little reason to fear a return to a Cold War-like standoff with the West. Instead, he argues, today's Russia is more interested in restoring what its leaders consider to be its rightful place among the world's major powers rather than in directly challenging the West. Thoroughly researched and knowledgeable, this book will be invaluable for all readers interested in Russia.

Winner, 2013-2014 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature, Adult Non-Fiction presented by the Asian Pacific American Librarian Association
During the Cold War, Soviet propaganda highlighted U.S. racism in order to undermine the credibility of U.S. democracy. In response, incorporating racial and ethnic minorities in order to affirm that America worked to ensure the rights of all and was superior to communist countries became a national imperative. In Citizens of Asian America, Cindy I-Fen Cheng explores how Asian Americans figured in this effort to shape the credibility of American democracy, even while the perceived “foreignness” of Asian Americans cast them as likely alien subversives whose activities needed monitoring following the communist revolution in China and the outbreak of the Korean War.
While histories of international politics and U.S. race relations during the Cold War have largely overlooked the significance of Asian Americans, Cheng challenges the black-white focus of the existing historiography. She highlights how Asian Americans made use of the government’s desire to be leader of the “free world” by advocating for civil rights reforms, such as housing integration, increased professional opportunities, and freedom from political persecution. Further, Cheng examines the liberalization of immigration policies, which worked not only to increase the civil rights of Asian Americans but also to improve the nation’s ties with Asian countries, providing an opportunity for the U.S. government to broadcast, on a global scale, the freedom and opportunity that American society could offer.

Описание:

The United States and China are arguably the most globally consequential actors of the early twenty first century, and look set to remain so into the foreseeable future. This volume seeks to highlight that American images of China are responsible for constructing certain truths and realities about that country and its people. It also introduces the understanding that these images have always been inextricable from the enactment and justification of US China policies in Washington, and that those policies themselves are active in the production and reproduction of imagery and in the protection of American identity when seemingly threatened by that of China.
