In 2014—for the first time—over 50% of those in U.S. public schools are students of color. Furthermore, children of immigrants, the majority of whom are of Asian and Latinx origin, are the fastest-growing population in the U.S. Addressing their needs has become an important issue facing educators, researchers, and policy makers nationwide. More importantly, working-poor and low-income immigrant families of color need support and resources to negotiate and navigate between their home/community and their school/dominant society. Opening Doors: Community Centers Connecting Working-Class Immigrant Families and Schools examines the role and impact of a community-based organization (the Harborview Chinatown Community Center) and its youth program (the Community Youth Center), which is located in an East Coast city. Framed by the "Community Cultural Wealth" framework (Yosso, 2005) and Youth (Comm)Unity, Opening Doors argues that the Harborview Chinatown Community Center helps low-income Chinese immigrant families negotiate and navigate their multiple worlds. Specifically, this book examines the services and support for low-income and working-poor Chinese American immigrant families during out-of-school hours.

Описание: THE GROWN-UP This hand on my husband is for being 13 and aching to be kissed This flung open window is for the smell of cafeterias and locker rooms This lazing sleep till noon is for logarithms at 9:00 a.m. This house of rolling books is for Miss Barge who shamed me for reading Salinger These days of shutting doors when I need them shut are for having to always LIGHT UP THE ROOM! That gentle man on the ship who said "Youre beautiful" wipes out that boy in the car who shouted "Hey, Ugly!" And this poem is for my neighbor Rick, the lawyer, as he stood in the check-out line at the grocery store, watching a boy beg his mother for a Snickers and when the mothers back was turned, he whispered to the boy, "I can have anything I want." This poem is from Opening the Shutters, a book of poems by Nan Knighton which has been called "extraordinary" by author Delia Ephron, "glorious" by playwright Ken Ludwig, "stunning" by Richard Ridge of Broadway World and Elizabeth Goodenough says "Her poems fly. They take risks... with arresting images, kick-ass verbs, hilarious dialogue and dramatic power. Brilliant." Knightons poems are conversational, easily grasped. As she says, they are for those who say, "Im not really a poetry person" as much as they are for poetry lovers. Her poems travel from drinking in a Manhattan bar to eating fried dough on a boardwalk, from dancing a tango to sitting on the floor of a coat closet during a thunderstorm, where the poet holds her frightened dog, and finds herself succumbing to the dark: There are things to be said for the closet or the bed, the warm cape of madness, always one breath away." There are love poems, often beautiful, sometimes raw: Love is a terrible, terrible thing. It tosses us roses and flutes of champagne. It waltzes and whirls us till we wonder where we will land, but Ill tell you- it aint lovers lane. And there are asides to us, such as this one during a parental visit: By the way, both my parents will totally outlive me. Ill be dying, theyll be having Mint Juleps. As Alfred Uhry, Pulitzer Prize winner for Driving Miss Daisy, says, "Nan Knightons poems celebrate the ebb and flow of everyday life." Opening the Shutters invites you to join this open, buoyant celebration.

Описание: This book examines the development of the non-state sector and NGOs in China since the onset of reform in the late 1970s. It explores the major issues facing China`s non-state sector today, assesses the institutional barriers faced by its developing civil society, and compares China`s example with wider international experience.
Opening Pathways, Building Bridges explores contemporary skilled migration and the brain drain using a bottom-up approach, based on a case study of Mexican scientists and engineers—or the Brains, as coined by the author—working in the UK. It provides an insight into how the phenomenon is shaped by the migrants’ personal and professional experiences (from Mexico to the UK: ‘opening pathways’) and how their contributions could have valuable effects through diaspora policies (from the UK back to Mexico: ‘building bridges’).
The research is based on an analysis of 36 semi-structured, qualitative interviews with Mexicans graduated in STEM fields, who currently work in academia or the private sector in the UK, and the empirical findings are organised into three main topics: transnationalism, professional experience and collaboration at a distance. It is argued that a more balanced exchange between Mexico and the UK can be achieved by building more bridges with the diaspora through long-distance collaborative initiatives. For this to happen, it is important for policy-makers to understand the relevance of skilled individuals’ choices and experiences, the value of their networks and communities of interest, the existing imbalances between developed and developing countries, and the challenges posed by scientific and professional collaborative projects.
This book offers some ideas and policy recommendations arising from the research, in order to better understand—and face—the challenges of skilled migration in future years and, ultimately, mitigate the negative effects of the Brains’ departure.

The book offers a step-by-step blueprint of radical proposals for the U.S.-Mexican border that go far beyond traditional initiatives to ease restrictions on immigration. The book argues that the border with Mexico should be completely open for Mexicans wishing to travel north. Up Against the Wall provides the background to understanding how the border has become a fraud, resulting in nothing more than the criminalization of Mexican and other migrants, the bloating of the mismanaged U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the deterioration of living standards along the frontier, and the enrichment of American employers. Placing the border in a historical perspective, Laufer shows how circumstances have deteriorated to the present Trump-exacerbated crisis, and why the region and the migration through it cannot be ignored. Over the last several years he has interviewed dozens of authorities and men and women in the street while reporting from Mexico, along the border, and in the United States. He demonstrates that the security of America's southern border is a fallacy; offers vivid examples to illustrate how the chain of misery and lawbreaking for migrants heading north is initiated by U.S. employers, traces many of the border problems to the Guatemalan-Mexican border, and explores the abuses of the Border Patrol and the growing presence of vigilantes on the American side. Up Against the Wall is sure to provoke a lively debate over the future of Mexican immigration and global migration crises.
