Summary

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.

    Unassimilable - An Asian...

    A scholar and activist’s brilliant socio-political examination of Asian Americans who refuse to assimilate and instead build their own belonging on their own terms outside of mainstream American institutions. 
In this hard-hitting and deeply personal book, a combination of manifesto and memoir, scholar, sociologist, and activist Bianca Mabute-Louie transforms the ways we understand race, class, citizenship, and the concept of assimilation and its impact on Asian American communities from the nineteenth century to present day. 
UNASSIMILABLE opens with a focus on the San Gabriel Valley (SGV), the first Asian ethnoburb in Los Angeles County and in the nation, where she grew up. A suburban neighborhood with a conspicuous Asian immigrant population, SGV thrives not because of its assimilation into Whiteness, but because of its unapologetic catering to its immigrant community. 
Mabute-Louie then examines “Predominantly White Institutions With A lot of Asians” and how these institutions shape the racial politics of Asian Americans and Asian internationals, including the fight against affirmative action and the fight for ethnic studies. She moves on to interrogate the role of the religion, showing how the immigrant church is a sanctuary even as it is an extension of colonialism and the American Empire. In the book’s conclusion, Bianca looks to the future, boldly proposing a reconsideration of the term Asian American for a new label that better clarifies who Asians in America are today. 
UNASSIMILABLE offers a radical vision of Asian American political identity informed by a refusal of Whiteness and collective care for each other. It is a forthright declaration against assimilation and in service of cross-racial, anti-imperialist solidarity and revolutionary politics. Scholarly yet accessible, informative and informed, this book is a major addition to Ethnic Studies and American Studies.

    Find out how to uncover the hidden talents, assets, and abilities in your neighborhood and bring them together to create a vibrant and joyful community. It takes a village! 
 
We may be living longer, but people are more socially isolated than ever before. As a result, we are hindered both mentally and physically, and many of us are looking for something concrete we can do to address problems like poverty, racism, and climate change. What if solutions could be found on your very doorstep or just two door knocks away? 
 
Cormac Russell is a veteran practitioner of asset-based community development (ABCD), which focuses on uncovering and leveraging the hidden resources, skills, and experience in our neighborhoods. He and John McKnight, the cooriginator of ABCD, show how anyone can discover this untapped potential and connect with his or her neighbors to create healthier, safer, greener, more prosperous, and welcoming communities. They offer a wealth of illustrative examples from around the world that will inspire you to explore your own community and discover its hidden treasures. 
 
You will learn to take action on what you already deeply know-that neighborliness is not just a nice-to-have personal characteristic but essential to living a fruitful life and a powerful amplifier of community change and renewal.
