Описание:
How do people whose entire way of life has been destroyed and who witnessed horrible abuses against loved ones construct a new future? How do people who have survived the ravages of war and displacement rebuild their lives in a new country when their world has totally changed? In Making Refuge Catherine Besteman follows the trajectory of Somali Bantus from their homes in Somalia before the onset in 1991 of Somalia’s civil war, to their displacement to Kenyan refugee camps, to their relocation in cities across the United States, to their settlement in the struggling former mill town of Lewiston, Maine. Tracking their experiences as "secondary migrants" who grapple with the struggles of xenophobia, neoliberalism, and grief, Besteman asks what humanitarianism feels like to those who are its objects and what happens when refugees move in next door. As Lewiston's refugees and locals negotiate coresidence and find that assimilation goes both ways, their story demonstrates the efforts of diverse people to find ways to live together and create community. Besteman’s account illuminates the contemporary debates about economic and moral responsibility, security, and community that immigration provokes.

Описание: The force of hunger in shaping human character and social structure has been largely overlooked. This omission is a serious one in the study of primitive society, in which starvation is a constant menace.

Описание: "Knowledge is the magic dust of books" says Buttons. Exactly It is about an adventure, an initiation journey where the main characters, with lots of imagination, learn about life: civilizations, art, sports, traditions, science, but the way in which the information is offered is singular than the traditional one. Hence the difference from other adventure novels. Thus, the raccoon, Buttons, is a friend who shares these "notions, experiences", but in a completely different way. "The experiences" are dressed in an avalanche of happenings that attract the reader by uniqueness and humor. The events related by Buttons take place in reality, in the respective locations, with a particular periodicity. There are reached civilizations and cultures that attract by diversity and even by uniqueness; there are brought in the foreground notions that everyone should know (child or adult) as a basic general knowledge and, in the same time, notions that, if possessed, become the centre of attention of the others. We find out information about very diverse fields: geography (the entire map the main character and his friends travel on), history (American, Amerindian, Greek, Japanese, and Scottish civilizations; we learn things about the Templar Knights, about the Moors, the Byzantine Empire, etc.), sports ( golf, rugby, hockey, American football, wrestling, sailing and aviation, martial arts, chess), art and science (jazz, rock, classical music, Byzantine music - theater, films, literature, and Nobel), dialects and foreign languages (the dialect of the Yakama Indians, the Welsh dialect, Greek language, Spanish, elements of Japanese traditions, and of course, English, and the sign language), various animals and birds, human behavior, unusual phenomena. "Easy And all you have to do is ask..." says Andy.
