Описание:

At a time when the immigration laws in the United States and their abuse is being debated, I tell the story of how I used these laws for my familys benefit. Born into a family in India, I worked hard and earned an excellent education. With planning, I was lawfully admitted into this country as a student. I used the U.S. immigration laws to help my father of ten children, who included five girls, from becoming destitute.

This book is about the dowry system which still prevails in India. The dowry is a payment of wealth that is expected from the father in order to get his daughter married. The dowry is no small amount. Depending on the status, education and earning potential of the bridegroom the dowry could be astronomical. How does a father of five girls cope with the burdensome dowry?

I arrived under a university assistantship award to become a physicist. My goal was to obtain my doctorate, earn money as a physicist in the U.S. and then return to India to settle down. My original expectation was that my earning potential would help my father meet the dowry demands. However, this expectation soon collapsed. After earning my Ph.D., I was caught up in a U.S. recession and unable to find employment commensurate with my earning potential. This unexpected event reset my goal.

After working as a teacher, I made a dramatic change in my career to become a lawyer. My study of law combined with my foundation in physics opened up a new vista to address my goal to solve the dowry problem that my father faced.

This book tells how I devised a solution to help my father by lawfully using the immigration laws of the United States to reunite my family.

I qualified for my U.S. Green Card based on my scholastic accomplishments which paved the way to become an American citizen. I was able to sponsor my unmarried sisters to earn their Green Cards. I orchestrated their Green Cards as a currency for finding suitable husbands in India without paying dowry. The husbands then joined their new brides in the U.S. to live permanently as married couples.

Описание:

In Coca Yes, Cocaine No Thomas Grisaffi traces the political ascent and transformation of the Movement toward Socialism (MAS) from an agricultural union of coca growers into Bolivia's ruling party. When Evo Morales—leader of the MAS—became Bolivia's president in 2006, coca growers celebrated his election and the possibility of scaling up their form of grassroots democracy to the national level. Drawing on a decade of ethnographic fieldwork with coca union leaders, peasant farmers, drug traffickers, and politicians, Grisaffi outlines the tension that Morales faced between the realities of international politics and his constituents, who, even if their coca is grown for ritual or medicinal purposes, are implicated in the cocaine trade and criminalized under the U.S.-led drug war. Grisaffi shows how Morales's failure to meet his constituents' demands demonstrates that the full realization of alternative democratic models at the local or national level is constrained or enabled by global political and economic circumstances.

Описание: Originally published in 1967, Dave Godfrey's debut collection features stories about hunting -- in Florida, in Africa, and in northern Ontario. They are about the interplay of gun and subway, decoy and stock market, guide and draft dodger. But they are more than just stories about hunting. Death Goes Better with Coca-Cola is a powerful example of the idiosyncratic imagination of a writer who broke new ground in fiction. It is a seminal collection by one of Canada's most influential literary figures and it is a must-read for those who want to understand Canada's literary landscape, past and present.

Описание:

In the 1960s and 1970s, Western Europe's "Golden Age" (Eric Hobsbawm), a new youth consciousness emerged, which gave this period its distinctive character. Offering rich and new material, this volume moves beyond the easy conflation of youth culture and "Americanization" and instead sets out to show, for the first time, how international developments fused with national traditions to produce specific youth cultures that became the leading trendsetters of emergent post-industrial Western societies. It presents a multi-faceted portrait of European youth cultures, colored by differences in gender, class, and education, and points out the tension between emerging consumerism and growing politicisation, succinctly expressed by Jean-Luc Godard in his 1967 pairing of "Marx and Coca-Cola."
