Book excerpt: A finales del mes de julio, al borde de las vacaciones y con el calor acechando cuerpos y mentes, el único objetivo del abogado protagonista de esta novela, con tanta habilidad para sacar adelante sus casos como pocos escrúpulos para complacer a sus clientes, es poder disfrutar de unos días de tranquilidad junto a su pareja y su hija. Pero ni la isla ni su trabajo le darán tregua. La isla, porque algunos de los cadáveres que con frecuencia recibe en sus costas tienen que ver —más de lo que parece— con su pasado, su familia y sus tejemanejes. Y su trabajo, porque un caso que implica a sus amistades más íntimas, y que ni siquiera quería aceptar, terminará por envolverlo en una historia de violencia, traición, corrupción y ambición que lo va sacando, poco a poco, de la seguridad que había encontrado al otro lado de la línea... ... Una línea que no es más que un muro de adjetivos, esos que no aparecen por ningún lado en esta novela que C. J. Nieto ha pergeñado con el pulso de los maestros del género y que nos fascinará por su pericia en el estilo, su pulso al narrar y, también, por su control del tempo y la tensión en la narración, su ironía y, sí, su conciencia. Porque los adjetivos pesan, y esta novela, sin aditivos, nos hace evidente, en su ausencia, cómo su carga lastra las vidas de los que viven evitando asomarse al otro lado de ese muro que separa a los blancos de los negros, a los corruptos de los puros, a los legales de los ilegales, a los violentos de los pacíficos... Pero ¿qué hacer cuando ese muro se ha derrumbado?

Download or read book Selecting by Origin written by Christian Joppke and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world of mutually exclusive nation-states, international migration constitutes a fundamental anomaly. No wonder that such states have been inclined to select migrants according to their origins. The result is ethnic migration. But Christian Joppke shows that after World War II there has been a trend away from ethnic selectivity and toward non-discriminatory immigration policies across Western states. Indeed, he depicts the modern state in the crossfire of particularistic and universalistic principles and commitments, with universalism gradually winning the upper hand. Thus, the policies that regulate the boundaries of states can no longer invoke the particularisms that constitute these boundaries and the collectivities residing within them. Joppke presents detailed case studies of the United States, Australia, Western Europe, and Israel. His book will be of interest to a broad audience of sociologists, political scientists, historians, legal scholars, and area specialists.
Download or read book La inteligencia migratoria written by Joseba Achotegui and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He aquí una serie de estrategias emocionales, físicas y sociales para resistir y salir adelante en los contextos difíciles que viven los inmigrantes el día de hoy. Un mundo en el que los muros y las barreras que afectan a los inmigrantes y sus familias son cada vez más altos y más peligrosos de cruzar. Este libro ofrece una valiosa ayuda ante las situaciones de miedo, soledad e indefensión en respuesta a ese sufrimiento, al que hace unos años el autor denominó «Síndrome de Ulises» –en recuerdo del héroe griego que padeció también lo indecible lejos de sus seres queridos–. El libro plantea, de la misma manera, consejos que le van a resultar de gran utilidad a las personas inmigrantes, desplazadas y refugiadas para que puedan remontar, superar las adversidades y desarrollar una actitud resiliente.
Download or read book Dreamer Nation written by Ana Milena Ribero and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2023-09-21 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Dreamer Nation" tells the rhetorical story of how Dreamers during the Obama era creatively confronted a complex sociopolitical landscape to advocate for immigrant rights and empower undocumented youth to proudly represent their lives and identities, all while under the ever-present threat of detention and deportation. By examining the activist rhetorics of the Dreamer movement, "Dreamer Nation" illustrates how the Dreamer community was created rhetorically-in the discourse, messages, actions, and visual representations of undocumented youth. Contributing to rhetorical studies of social movements, immigration, and minoritized rhetorics, Ana Milena Ribero argues that even though Dreamer rhetorics were reflective of the discursive limits of the neoliberal milieu, they also worked to disrupt neoliberal constraints through activism that troubled the primacy of the nation-state and citizenship, refused to adhere to respectability politics, forwarded embodied identity and transnational belonging, and looked for liberation in community-not solely in legislative action. Both of and beyond neoliberalism, Dreamer rhetorics evidenced a rhetorical flexibility-a "both/and" sensibility-that allowed Dreamers to vacillate between neoliberal tropes and radical arguments. Ribero's theoretical model for this "both/and" approach derives from Gloria Anzaldúa's concept of nepantla, "the overlapping space between different perceptions and belief systems." In their ambivalent positionality, Dreamers were able to see through the limitations of neoliberal discourse and the promises of the nation-state, and to produce rhetoric that dared to imagine a world without borders, detention, or deportation. Each chapter in "Dreamer Nation" presents a different rhetorical situation within the US "crisis" of migration and the rhetoric that Dreamers used to respond to it. Organized chronologically, the chapters chronicle Dreamer activism during the Obama presidency, from the 2010 hunger strikes advocating for the DREAM Act to undocuqueer "artivism" in response to Trump's presidential campaign. The author draws not only on the methods and theories of rhetorical studies, but also on women of color feminisms, ethnic studies, critical theory, and queer theory. In this way, this book looks across disciplines to illustrates the rhetorical savvy of one of the most important US social movements of our time"--

Book excerpt: Si en Siempre ocurre lo inesperado Ricardo Ahuja nos ofreció el panorama de un viaje por un mundo en transformación, en La puerta de golpe nos lleva de la mano a recorrer senderos del mundo actual, en un marco donde los personajes de la historia luchan por definir el futuro de sus vidas, huyendo de un pasado que no les satisface por completo, y buscando en tierras extrañas un destino tan incierto como sus sueños. En un proceso invertido de la confusión de las lenguas que tuvo lugar, según las historias bíblicas, en Babel, los personajes de la narración, procedentes de orígenes distintos, comienzan a hablar un mismo idioma y se integran en un proyecto común, cuyo desenlace se define en la frontera entre México y los Estados Unidos de América.
Download or read book Texas Reporter Texas Radical written by Dick J. Reavis and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-20 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing about Texas, Mexico, and Texan-Mexican relations for over four decades, Dick J. Reavis is one of the most poignant political voices of Texas—not as a politician, though his writings are infused with politics, but as a candid, unsentimental, probing, journalist. Reavis has worked as a reporter, features author, and staff writer (San Antonio Express-News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Dallas Observer, San Antonio Light), as a Senior Editor of Texas Monthly, and as a professor of journalism (North Carolina State University). He has authored six books and translated two from Spanish. Throughout his award-winning career, he has returned consistently to investigate the lives of everyday Texans, insistently challenging prevailing political assumptions and mythologies. It was precisely this commitment that prompted him to investigate the federal government’s siege of the Branch Davidians in 1993 outside of Waco, TX, which led to his best-known work, The Ashes of Waco: An Investigation (1995), a book that challenged government accounts and mainstream media. This anthology demonstrates the range of his writings, which include investigations of Mexican guerillas and Texas biker-gangs, the struggles of urban day-laborers and of undocumented immigrants in rural areas, the politics of Texas radicals during the Civil Rights movement, and the activities of the Klan and other far right groups across the state, to identify but a few. This collection of Reavis’s writings brings into focus the voice and political commitments of this critical, contemporary, Texas writer.
Download or read book Migrant Communication Enterprises written by Maria Sabaté-Dalmau and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2014-08-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique critical sociolinguistic ethnography explores alternative migrant-regulated institutions of resistance and subversive communication technology: the locutorios or ethnic call shops. These migrant-owned businesses act as a window into their multimodal and hybrid linguistic and communicative practices, and into their own linguistic hierarchies and non-mainstream sociolinguistic orders. Here, socially displaced but technologically empowered transnational migrant populations actively find subversive ways to access information and communication technologies. As such they mobilise their own resources to successfully inhabit Catalonia, at the margins of powerful institutions. The book also focuses on the (internal) social organisation dynamics, as well as on the simultaneous fight against, and re-production of, practices and processes of social difference and social inequality among migrants themselves.
Download or read book The Rent Collectors written by Jesse Katz and published by Astra Publishing House. This book was released on 2024-07-16 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A searing account of gang violence and its consequences...Macedo's grim story, expertly documented by Katz, cries for a documentary series to follow his fortunes as, after years in prison, he strives for redemption. A masterful work of true crime—and, to be sure, true punishment."—Kirkus Reviews (Starred review) Baby-faced teen Giovanni Macedo is desperate to find belonging in one of LA’s most predatory gangs, the Columbia Lil Cycos—so desperate that he agrees to kill an undocumented Mexican street vendor. The vendor, Francisco Clemente, had been refusing to give in to the gang’s shakedown demands. But Giovanni botches the hit, accidentally killing a newborn instead. The overlords who rule the Lil Cycos from a Supermax prison 1,000 miles away must be placated and Giovanni is lured across the border where, in turn, the gang botches his killing. And so, incredibly, Giovanni rises from the dead, determined to both seek redemption for his unforgivable crime and take down the gang who drove him to do it. With The Rent Collectors, Jesse Katz has built a teeth clenching and breathless narrative that explicates the difficult and proud lives of undocumented black market workers who are being extorted by the gangs and fined by the city of LA—in other words, exploited by two sets of rent collectors.
Download or read book Spheres of Global Justice written by Jean-Christophe Merle and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-22 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spheres of Global Justice analyzes six of the most important and controversial spheres of global justice, each concerning a specific global social good. These spheres are democratic participation, migrations, cultural minorities, economic justice, social justice, and intergenerational justice. Together they constitute two constellations dealt with, in this collection of essays by leading scholars, in two different volumes: Global Challenges to Liberal Democracy and Fair Distribution. These essays illustrate each of the spheres, delving into their differences, commonalities, collisions and interconnections. Unlike many writings on global justice, Spheres of Global Justice does not content itself with describing the painful and advantageous effects of the globalization process as being ipso facto a global injustice or a just global order. Rather, this multidisciplinary collection of essays, from a pluralist inspiration, combines empirical analysis with theoretical approaches and ethical principles, paying close attention to two aspects of the effects of the globalization process. These aspects are the causal relationships that lead to such effects and the kinds of obligations, or of normative relationships between global rights and correlative duties, that applies to each specific individual case. This volume illustrates how diverse global obligations are, and how they can be, grounded in diverse relationships (identity, ability to provide help, causal responsibility, past injustices, protection of agency and promotion of independence, etc.). These essays also demonstrate that an ethical global approach has not only international or transnational, but also domestic, local and interpersonal dimensions.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Análisis crítico con un enfoque multidisciplinario, único hasta ahora en México, de las oportunidades y desafíos de los derechos humanos. Los autores aquí reunidos analizan los derechos humanos como una práctica social que se realiza en medio de relaciones asimétricas de poder, en el marco del ya convulsionado siglo xxi. Pensados como un discurso que se convierte en práctica social y en campo de disputa para la definición de significados, los derechos humanos pueden generar marcos de oportunidad para la transformación político-social pero, también, pueden constituir un obstáculo para el cambio y la construcción de subjetividades emancipadas.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Compounding written by Rochelle Lieber and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive review of theoretical work on the linguistics and psycholinguistics of compound words and combines it with a series of surveys of compounding in a variety of languages from a wide range of language families. Compounding is an effective way to create and express new meanings. Compound words are segmentable into their constituents so that new items can often be understood on first presentation. However, as keystone, keynote, and keyboard, and breadboard, sandwich-board, and mortarboard show, the relation between components is often far from straightforward. The question then arises, as to how far compound sequences are analysed at each encounter and how far they are stored in the brain as single lexical items? The nature and processing of compounds thus offer an unusually direct route to how language operates in the mind, as well as providing the means of investigating important aspects of morphology, and lexical semantics, and insights to child language acquisition and the organization of the mental lexicon. This book is the first to report on the state of the art on these and other central topics, including the classification and typology of compounds, and cross-linguistic research on the subject in different frameworks and from synchronic and diachronic perspectives.
