Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederick Jackson Turner Award Finalist Winner of the David Montgomery Award Winner of the Theodore Saloutos Book Award Winner of the Betty and Alfred McClung Lee Book Award Winner of the Frances Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize Winner of the Américo Paredes Book Award “A deeply humane book.” —Mae Ngai, author of Impossible Subjects “Necessary and timely...A valuable text to consider alongside the current fight for DACA, the border concentration camps, and the unending rhetoric dehumanizing Mexican migrants.” —PopMatters “A deep dive into the history of Mexican migration to and from the United States.” —PRI’s The World In the 1970s, the Mexican government decided to tackle rural unemployment by supporting the migration of able-bodied men. Millions of Mexican men crossed into the United States to find work. They took low-level positions that few Americans wanted and sent money back to communities that depended on their support. They periodically returned to Mexico, living their lives in both countries. After 1986, however, US authorities disrupted this back-and-forth movement by strengthening border controls. Many Mexican men chose to remain in the United States permanently for fear of not being able to come back north if they returned to Mexico. For them, the United States became a jaula de oro—a cage of gold. Undocumented Lives tells the story of Mexican migrants who were compelled to bring their families across the border and raise a generation of undocumented children.

Download or read book Trump the Alt Right and Public Pedagogies of Hate and for Fascism written by Mike Cole and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trump, the Alt-Right and Public Pedagogies of Hate and for Fascism: What Is To Be Done? uses public pedagogy as a theoretical lens through which to view discourses of hate and for fascism in the era of Trump and to promote an anti-fascist and pro-socialist public pedagogy. It makes the case for re-igniting a rhetoric that goes beyond the undermining of neoliberal capitalism and the promotion of social justice, and re-aligns the left against fascism and for a socialism of the twenty-first century. Beginning with an examination of the history of traditional fascism in the twentieth century, the book looks at the similarities and differences between the Trump regime and traditional Western post-war fascism. Cole goes on to consider the alt-right movement, the reasons for its rise, and the significance of the internet being harnessed as a tool with which to promote a fascistic public pedagogy. Finally, the book examines the resistance against these discourses and addresses the question of: what is to be done? This topical book will be of great interest to scholars, to postgraduate students and to researchers, as well as to advanced undergraduate students in the fields of education studies, pedagogy, and sociology, as well as readers in general who are are interested in the phenomenon of Trumpism.

Download or read book This Is an Uprising written by Mark Engler and published by Bold Type Books. This book was released on 2016-02-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a craft to uprising -- and this craft can change the world From protests around climate change and immigrant rights, to Occupy, the Arab Spring, and #BlackLivesMatter, a new generation is unleashing strategic nonviolent action to shape public debate and force political change. When mass movements erupt onto our television screens, the media consistently portrays them as being spontaneous and unpredictable. Yet, in this book, Mark and Paul Engler look at the hidden art behind such outbursts of protest, examining core principles that have been used to spark and guide moments of transformative unrest. With incisive insights from contemporary activists, as well as fresh revelations about the work of groundbreaking figures such as Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Gene Sharp, and Frances Fox Piven, the Englers show how people with few resources and little conventional influence are engineering the upheavals that are reshaping contemporary politics. Nonviolence is usually seen simply as a philosophy or moral code. This Is an Uprising shows how it can instead be deployed as a method of political conflict, disruption, and escalation. It argues that if we are always taken by surprise by dramatic outbreaks of revolt, we pass up the chance to truly understand how social transformation happens.

Download or read book From Shithole to Trumpland written by Ernest MAKULILO and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-07 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Thursday, January 11th, 2018 behind closed doors meeting, our President Donald J. Trump made a comment on immigrants coming from Haiti and African nations as people from "shithole countries". It was all over the news especially on CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, NPR and so many other channels. African news networks also went on discussing this, and generally broke the internet. The social media became main a battle ground for people who support and those who oppose. For over years, African countries have been referred to as Developing Countries, Dark Continent, Peripheral, Banana Republic, Third World Nations and so many other words. These terminologies have been used from grade school to universities, and all these terminologies have been "designed" by Westerners to categorize and group these countries into one box, and denying them certain privileges and/or rights. CNN and other western media use these words which are very offensive and derogatory every single day especially when talking of economies and democratic tendencies in Africa. If not being hypocrite, why those networks tell Africans that Trump called you "shithole countries" and telling them it is a bad word and offensive while same networks still using similar words, just different wording to those countries? And why African countries get upset with one word as offensive and derogatory but "accepting" all other words of similar meaning and implications? Is it because CNN said so? Personally, I have seen and experienced those extremely dirty, shabby and unpleasant places in both African countries and here in the United States. There are so many places you cannot even imagine you are in America, apart from being "fooled" with nice pictures on internet and media. There are so many rats in New York City around the Subway just like some slams in some parts of Africa. There are so many unpleasant places across the United States if you take a picture no one will ever believe you that you're in America. Each country on the planet has parts of shabby, extremely dirty and unpleasant places, at the same time you'll find beautiful places and things to enjoy in that particular area from the people, culture and environment. If I were to do it over, I would still like to be born in Africa. I liked my childhood upbringing, cultural values, respect and everything prepared me to be outstanding human beings. In short, I would never change I thing. I would live there and still relocated to another place, it's all because God created human beings and have them the Earth, and not specific country. I'm a citizen of the planet Earth and will do everything to help making it a better place, leave a legacy to the new generation too.

Book excerpt: Your birthplace, nationality, or external circumstances should not prevent you from being the best version of yourself. Whatever the storm in your life, you could get through it, change, thrive, and succeed. There are no "shithole countries." There are only shithole values, mindsets, strategies, and broken systems that lead to failure and disaster. This method is simple, direct, and genuine. It is centered on the notion of change, system improvement, and values. When the news reported that President Donald Trump qualified Haiti, African Countries, and Salvador as shithole countries, it sparked Dr. Demes to write this book, "Shithole Countries or Shithole Values? 7 Steps to Change and Thrive in Any Environment," and share his systematic approach to change. When he was a little boy, Dr. Demes lived in extreme poverty, in one of the most impoverished Haitian villages. His dream was to rise above his circumstances, help others out of the poverty trap, and teach them how to thrive in the middle of chaos and deprivation. Today, he is a medical doctor and has a master's degree in Public Health from the Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Public Health at the University of Montreal. Dr. Demes has worked as a medical doctor, consultant, public health specialist, professor, and researcher. His work has taken him to Africa and Haiti. Dr. Demes found a way to rise above the storms in his life and wants to help you do the same. His life is a living testimony of the power of love, faith, hope, and surrender. By implementing his evidence-based strategies, you will not only improve the quality of your life, but you will also thrive. It's possible with change. But change is scary. Change is difficult. However, change is inevitable and necessary if you want to improve your life. Successful people know how to adapt and change. They replace shithole values with resilient internal and external skills that guide their success. These simple steps, illustrated with Dr. Demes' personal life stories, show you how to thrive in the middle of chaos, trials, or tribulations. If you want to move from where you are to where you want to be, let Dr. Demes guide you. He combines in a unique way the scientific with the spiritual.

Download or read book Border Wars written by Julie Hirschfeld Davis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two New York Times Washington correspondents provide a detailed, “fact-based account of what precipitated some of this administration’s more brazen assaults on immigration” (The Washington Post) filled with never-before-told stories of this key issue of Donald Trump’s presidency. No issue matters more to Donald Trump and his administration than restricting immigration. Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear have covered the Trump administration from its earliest days. In Border Wars, they take us inside the White House to document how Stephen Miller and other anti-immigration officials blocked asylum-seekers and refugees, separated families, threatened deportation, and sought to erode the longstanding bipartisan consensus that immigration and immigrants make positive contributions to America. Their revelation of Trump’s desire for a border moat filled with alligators made national news. As the authors reveal, Trump has used immigration to stoke fears (“the caravan”), attack Democrats and the courts, and distract from negative news and political difficulties. As he seeks reelection in 2020, Trump has elevated immigration in the imaginations of many Americans into a national crisis. Border Wars identifies the players behind Trump’s anti-immigration policies, showing how they planned, stumbled and fought their way toward changes that have further polarized the nation. “[Davis and Shear’s] exquisitely reported Border Wars reveals the shattering horror of the moment, [and] the mercurial unreliability and instability of the president” (The New York Times Book Review).

Download or read book Decolonizing Latinx Masculinities written by Arturo J. Aldama and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinx hypersexualized lovers or kingpin predators pulsate from our TVs, smartphones, and Hollywood movie screens. Tweets from the executive office brand Latinxs as bad-hombre hordes and marauding rapists and traffickers. A-list Anglo historical figures like Billy the Kid haunt us with their toxic masculinities. These are the themes creatively explored by the eighteen contributors in Decolonizing Latinx Masculinities. Together they explore how legacies of colonization and capitalist exploitation and oppression have created toxic forms of masculinity that continue to suffocate our existence as Latinxs. And while the authors seek to identify all cultural phenomena that collectively create reductive, destructive, and toxic constructions of masculinity that traffic in misogyny and homophobia, they also uncover the many spaces—such as Xicanx-Indígena languages, resistant food cultures, music performances, and queer Latinx rodeo practices—where Latinx communities can and do exhale healing masculinities. With unity of heart and mind, the creative and the scholarly, Decolonizing Latinx Masculinities opens wide its arms to all non-binary, decolonial masculinities today to grow a stronger, resilient, and more compassionate new generation of Latinxs tomorrow.

Book excerpt: Named one of the most important nonfiction books of the 21st century by Entertainment Weekly‚ Slate‚ Chronicle of Higher Education‚ Literary Hub, Book Riot‚ and Zora A tenth-anniversary edition of the iconic bestseller—"one of the most influential books of the past 20 years," according to the Chronicle of Higher Education—with a new preface by the author "It is in no small part thanks to Alexander's account that civil rights organizations such as Black Lives Matter have focused so much of their energy on the criminal justice system." —Adam Shatz, London Review of Books Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Most important of all, it has spawned a whole generation of criminal justice reform activists and organizations motivated by Michelle Alexander's unforgettable argument that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." As the Birmingham News proclaimed, it is "undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S." Now, ten years after it was first published, The New Press is proud to issue a tenth-anniversary edition with a new preface by Michelle Alexander that discusses the impact the book has had and the state of the criminal justice reform movement today.

Download or read book President DONALD TRUMP written by Joe Odiboh and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shithole nations is about poor leadership, poverty, gross human rights violations, immigrants perishing in the high seas and on land, corruption and untold human greed, poor infrastructures, and the faces of Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and Joseph Kabila of the DRC among so many failed leadership who wish to die in power and be buried with their loot in their national treasures. It is about the failures of the AU and other failed nations of the world. Hate President Donald Trump or love him, truth is very bitter to the taste. Each time the United States President Donald Trump speaks his personal view on issues or make certain statements, the world goes agog. The problem with President Trump is that he is very human and speaks his mind bluntly and mostly in truth. The truth we all know is very bitter to the taste in human transactions. Shithole nations are countries with shithole leadership and shithole systems of administration. Shithole countries or shithole houses, we must blame ourselves as masters of our fate, and as captains of our ship. The AU is a capital failure. The UN is a deceitful liar and a joker in the park. Life is a casino in human transactions on earth. Read for yourself.

Download or read book Black Interdictions written by Philip Kretsedemas and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Black Interdictions, Philip Kretsedemas exposes the antiblack racism latent in the U.S. government’s Haitian refugee policies of the 1980s and 1990s which set the tone for the criminalization of migrants and refugees in the new millennium and lead to the migration and refugee policies of the Trump era and beyond. This type of radical exclusion is singular to the black experience and the black/nonblack binary must be factored into an analysis of the US migration regime. It is not possible to work together for equity and justice if we are not prepared to grapple with this divisive history and the instinct to avoid dealing with the singularity of the black experience. This book will be of interest to scholars of migration and refugee studies, black studies, legal studies, public policy and international relations, and many others.
