Описание: Handcuffs and Chain Link enters the immigration debate by addressing one of its most controversial aspects: the criminalisation both of extralegal immigration to the United States and of immigrants themselves in popular and political discourse. Looking at the factors that led up to decriminalisation, Benjamin Gonzalez O’Brien points to the alternative approach of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and how its ultimate demise served to negatively reinforce the fictitious association of extralegal immigrants with criminality.Crucial to Gonzalez O’Brien’s account thus is the concept of the critical policy failure—a piece of legislation that attempts a radically different approach to a major issue but has shortcomings that ultimately further entrench the approach it was designed to supplant. The IRCA was just such a piece of legislation. It highlighted the contributions of the undocumented and offered amnesty to some while attempting to stem the flow of extralegal immigration by holding employers accountable for hiring the undocumented. The failure of this effort at decriminalisation prompted a return to decriminalisation with a vengeance, leading to the stalemate on immigration policy that persists to this day.
Dr. Milena Gordon Baker analyzes Holocaust denial in Brazil from the perspective posed by intolerance and hate speech, specifically in the context of penal law. Using these concepts and contexts, she investigates which legal approach should be used to confront Holocaust denial and appropriately respond to the core issues raised. Leveraging the perspective of international penal law supported by local legislation, she asks whether Holocaust denial should be criminalized in Brazil, making existing constitutional guarantees effective in order to repudiate racism and actively combat hate speech.
"The publication of Milena Gordon Baker's thesis could hardly have come at a better time. By coincidence, at the precise moment when I was reviewing her text, the construction of the Holocaust Monument in the city of Rio de Janeiro had just started. Like other cities in Brazil that boast major Holocaust memorials and museums, my city too is finally fulfilling its promise to raise a worthy monument to the victims. Steps to preserve and pay tribute to the memory of the victims of the unspeakable genocide go hand in hand in many countries--as Dr. Baker demonstrates--with making it a crime to deny the Holocaust. The book you are about to read provides important food for thought on this subject..." --Ellen Gracie Northfleet, Former Brazilian Supreme Court Justice

Описание: While liberal-democratic states like America, Britain and Australia claim to value freedom of expression and the right to dissent, they have always actually criminalized dissent. The book highlights the mix of fear and delusion in play when states privilege security to protect an imagined `political order` from difference and disagreement.
