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.

    Since this work was designed to be one of a series of studies in American religions, the treatment of the subject was consciously limited to those aspects of Theosophy which are in some manner distinctively related to America. This restriction has been difficult to enforce for the reason that, though officially born here, Theosophy has never since its inception had its headquarters on this continent. The springs of the movement have emanated from foreign sources and influences. Its prime inspiration has come from ancient Oriental cultures. 
America in this case has rather adopted an exotic cult than evolved it from the conditions of her native milieu.

    When both levees and governments failed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, an organization calling itself the Common Ground Collective formed to become the largest anarchist inspired organization in modern US history. In solidarity with people in New Orleans, Common Ground built medical clinics, distributed aid, formed neighborhood assemblies and created food security through community gardens. The group also defied unjust laws by resisting home demolitions, and defended communities from white militias and police brutality.  
Black Flags and Windmills—equal parts memoir, history and organizing philosophy—maps the intertwining of Common Ground co-founder scott crow’s radical experiences and ideas with Katrina’s reality, vividly illustrating how people under extraordinary circumstances built local grassroots power and collective liberation. It is a story of resisting indifference, rebuilding hope amidst collapse, and struggling against the grain to create better worlds.

    The Sociology of Deviance -...

    Deviance is not an inherent quality of an action or behavior but rather a label assigned by society based on cultural norms, values, and historical context. What is considered deviant in one society may be perfectly acceptable in another, highlighting the socially constructed nature of rule-breaking. This means that deviance is not a fixed concept but a fluid one, constantly evolving as societies change over time. 
Norms, or the unwritten rules that govern behavior, play a central role in determining what is labeled as deviant. These norms vary across cultures, social groups, and historical periods, meaning that what is seen as unacceptable in one setting may be tolerated or even encouraged in another. For example, attitudes toward tattoos, same-sex relationships, and gender roles have shifted dramatically over time, illustrating how deviance is shaped by broader social forces rather than existing as an objective reality. 
One of the key aspects of the social construction of deviance is the process of labeling. According to labeling theory, deviance is not just about breaking rules but also about how society reacts to those who violate norms. When a person is labeled as deviant, they may experience stigma, discrimination, or exclusion, reinforcing their deviant identity. This can lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy where individuals internalize their label and continue engaging in deviant behavior. For instance, a teenager who is repeatedly told they are a troublemaker may begin to see themselves that way and act accordingly.
