Sinopse

Immigration Waves offers a comprehensive exploration of how immigration policies have shaped nations, focusing on the economic and cultural impacts of global migration. The book traces historical immigration patterns from the 19th century to the present, highlighting key periods like the mass migrations to the U.S. during the Industrial Revolution and the post-World War II era. It delves into the legislative history of immigration, analyzing laws such as the Immigration Act of 1924 and the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, revealing their intended goals and unforeseen consequences. The book argues that immigration is a dynamic process reshaping economies and cultures. For example, it examines how immigration fills labor market gaps and drives innovation, while also addressing concerns about its impact on wages and employment. It also explores the cultural enrichment brought by immigrants, from new cuisines to diverse artistic expressions. Utilizing statistical data, legal analyses, and case studies, the book offers a nuanced understanding of immigration's multifaceted nature. Immigration Waves unfolds in three major sections: historical context, examination of significant immigration laws, and exploration of economic and cultural impacts. It connects to disciplines like economics, sociology, and political science, providing a holistic view aimed at students, policymakers, and anyone seeking informed discussions about immigration reform, border security, and citizenship.

    Marx for Cats - A Radical Bestiary

    Leigh Claire La Berge

    At the outset of Marx for Cats, Leigh Claire La Berge declares that "all history is the history of cat struggle." Revising the medieval bestiary form to meet Marxist critique, La Berge follows feline footprints through Western economic history to reveal an animality at the heart of Marxism. She draws on a twelve-hundred-year arc spanning capitalism's feudal prehistory, its colonialist and imperialist ages, the bourgeois revolutions that supported capitalism, and the communist revolutions that opposed it to outline how cats have long been understood as creatures of economic critique and liberatory possibility. By attending to the repeated archival appearance of lions, tigers, wildcats, and "sabo-tabbies," La Berge argues that felines are central to how Marxists have imagined the economy, and by asking what humans and animals owe each other in a moment of ecological crisis, La Berge joins current debates about the need for and possibility of eco-socialism. In this playful and radical bestiary, La Berge demonstrates that class struggle is ultimately an interspecies collaboration.

    Death in Derry - Martin...

    When civil rights protests in the 1960s gave way to armed struggle, the Provisional IRA in Derry – both city and county – led the fight against the British security forces. In the city Martin McGuinness – a young butcher’s assistant from the Bogside – quickly rose through the ranks, launching a bombing campaign that reduced the city centre to rubble. In tandem, the IRA’s active service units fought the British Army in the streets and alleys of the Bogside, Creggan, Shantallow and the Waterside. Out in the townlands, a new generation from the county’s traditional republican families waged an equally ruthless war against their neighbours in the RUC and UDR. The Derry Brigade’s success would help propel McGuinness to the very top of the IRA’s Army Council. 
     
    By the early 1980s the Derry Brigade appeared untouchable. However, in reality, Special Branch and British Intelligence had infiltrated it from top to bottom and almost destroyed the brigade. By the mid-1990s its war was all but over, its ranks decimated by death and incarceration. This is the story of that war told by those from all sides who survived it.

    'Engaging, absorbing and crammed with marvellous stories, Finding Endurance is a tale about exploring the cold, told with much warmth.' MICK HERRON
    
    'Beautiful, thrilling, heroic and kind, a ripping yarn' CLAIRE ROBERTSON, AUTHOR OF THE SPIRAL HOUSE
    
    'Tender, heartfelt and lyrical' PETINA GAPPAH, AUTHOR OF OUT OF DARKNESS, SHINING LIGHT
    
    'An exhilarating read' HENRIETTA ROSE-INNES, AUTHOR OF GREEN LION
    
    Since the discovery of the wreck of Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance on the bed of the Antarctic ocean, the world has been enthralled anew by one of the greatest stories of all time.
    
    Acclaimed South African writer Darrel Bristow-Bovey, himself a Shackleton aficionado, revisits this dramatic event, which managed to sweep the tide of anger and rancour off the timelines and front pages of the world.
    
    He asks how so many ordinary people, who don't know a nunatak from a barquentine, were so moved at the finding of a small wooden ship once sailed by a half-forgotten Irishman? In re-examining the story and its players, he presents new details and a new understanding of the courage and hardship of the Endurance voyage, and reminds us of how extraordinary humans can be. Not all is lost, and what has been lost can be regained: the ocean has given us something back.
    
    What's more, we are reminded that miracles still happen: human miracles, performed by flawed people in helpless situations.
