Download or read book Blacks Crackle written by Penny Lapenna and published by Booktango. This book was released on 2016-02-18 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you could look at people and see the evil within them, would you live your life differently? Would you become more careless or more discerning? Her father is deteriorating after a stroke, but her husband is home alone, unemployed and disabled, so it might seem callous timing for Carly to take a trip to the Spanish mountain village of her childhood. However, it was here that she first encountered the Dark: an evil spirit that manifested in her friends and family, and which seems to have dogged her life ever since. Logically, these visions of black intent cannot be real, so retaliating with quotes from the Wicked Queen in Sleeping Beauty can’t make the situation any worse. Her sister seems oblivious to the battle she has waged to keep her loved ones intact, and her father isn’t best pleased when she employs fraud, deception and scandalous behaviour to keep the shadowy presence at bay. But each time she thinks she has gained the upper hand, another person falls victim to a series of disturbing accidents. She needs to unravel the real reason behind this fiend’s appearance. But will she be able to face up to her weakness for delinquent behaviour and refute the Dark ́s hold on her?

Download or read book The Impact of Immigration on African Americans written by Steven Shulman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration has significant consequences for all Americans, but especially for African Americans.áThe sheer magnitude of immigration--it is the primary factor driving population growth--is so large that it directly or indirectly affects the economic, political, social, and environmental circumstances of most Americans.áBut the geographic concentration of immigrants in urban areas, and the economic concentration of immigrants in the low-wage sector of the labor market, have special consequences for African Americans since they are especially likely to live in urban areas and to be low-wage workers.These effects can be both negative and positive. Immigration has sharply increased the supply of labor into the low-wage sector of the labor market, which tends to reduce wages and employment opportunities for low-wage native workers. Employers may prefer hiring immigrants, who are perceived to be hard working and uncomplaining, to hiring African Americans. Immigrants can also increase the competition for scarce public services (especially education) on which African Americans depend. Yet immigration can also stimulate economic growth and urban revitalization, which can increase job opportunities and spread an ideology of multiculturalism. Immigration can dilute the political power of African Americans, but it can also strengthen the civil rights coalition. Immigration can benefit some groups while hurting others.This volume presents research and analysis that reflects and advances the debates about the economic and political consequences of immigration for African Americans. The contributors include Gerald Jaynes (Yale University), Vernon Briggs (Cornell University), Frank Bean and Jennifer Lee (University of California, Irvine), Robert Cherry (Brooklyn College), Manuel Pastor (University of California, Santa Cruz) and Enrique Marcelli (University of Massachusetts, Boston), Steven Camarota (Center for Immigration Studies), Frank Morris (University of Texas, D
