Many Filipino Americans feel obligated to give charitably to their families, their communities, or social development projects and organizations back home. Their contributions provide relief to poor or vulnerable Filipinos, and address the forces that maintain poverty, vulnerability, and exploitative relationships in the Philippines. This philanthropy is a result of both economic globalization and the migration of Filipino professionals to the United States. But it is also central to the moral economies of Filipino migration, immigration, and diasporic return. Giving-related practices and concerns—and the bonds maintained through giving—infuse what it means to be Filipino in America.
Giving Back shows how integral this system is for understanding Filipino diaspora formation. Joyce Mariano “follows the money” to investigate the cultural, social, economic, and political conditions of diaspora giving. She takes an interdisciplinary approach to reveal how power operates through this charity and the ways the global economic and cultural dimensions of this practice reinforce racial subordination and neocolonialism. Giving Back explores how this charity can stabilize overlapping systems of inequality as well as the contradictions of corporate social responsibility programs in diaspora.

Описание: El lanzador de relevo mas exitoso de todos los tiempos comparte su extraordinaria historia de supervivencia, amor y beisbol. Mariano Rivera, el hombre que intimido a miles de bateadores con tan solo abrir la puerta del "bullpen," comenzo su increible viaje como el hijo de un pobre pescador panameno. Cuando primeramente los Yankees lo reclutaron, ni siquiera poseia su propio guante. El penso que podria ser un buen mecanico. Cuando lo descubrieron, nunca antes habia volado en un avion, nunca habia oido hablar de Babe Ruth, no hablaba ingles, ni tampoco se imaginaba como era Tampa, la ciudad hacia donde iba para comenzar una carrera que lo convertiria en uno de los mas iconicos del beisbol. Lo que si sabia: que amaba a su familia y su entonces novia, Clara; que podia confiar en el Senor para guiarlo; y que podia lanzar una pelota exactamente donde el queria, todo el tiempo. Con sorprendente candor, Rivera relata la historia de los campeonatos, los jefes (incluyendo El Jefe), las rivalidades y las luchas de ser pelotero latino en los Estados Unidos, y como conservar los valores cristianos dentro del atletismo profesional. El trece veces pelatoro del Juego de Estrellas habla de su impulso de ganar; los secretos detras de su legendaria compostura; la historia de como descubrio su recta cortada; lo nunca antes contado sobre el lanzamiento de la novena entrada del septimo juego de la Serie Mundial de 2001; y por que el momento mas bajo de su carrera se convirtio en una de sus mas grandes bendiciones. Cuando Rivera se retiro, todo el mundo lo vio y aplaudio. En "El cerrador," " llegamos a una aun mayor apreciacion de una leyenda construida desde cero. "

Описание: 'They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.' - Pablo Picasso
As one of the hottest new prospects in New York City's ultra-competitive art scene, Benjamin Young's star is on the rise. Just when his future couldn't appear brighter, Ben discovers that he is soon to become a father, irrevocably altering the trajectory of his life. As he takes on the responsibilities of a single parent, and the drudgery of a dead-end job, he also tries to open his heart to true love. Along the way he tries to overcome an abusive childhood, and struggles to be the kind of father he never had. But when his troubled, violent past comes back to haunt him, he must decide if everyone-no matter how hurtful-deserves a second chance.

Описание: Undoing Ties claims to offer an answer to the question of what happens when the ties between traditional political institutions and citizens are being undone. The basic aim of the book is to offer an introductory and accessible overview of those paradigms and theories that are specifically concerned with the irreducible plurality of life forms and seek to understand how this challenge should be faced. The authors adopt an interdisciplinary approach to foreground how scholars in different areas (such as political philosophy, jurisprudence, sociology and anthropology) deal with one of the key characterizing elements of today's political scenario, that is to say, the reviviscence of sub-state and supra-state groups as crucial political actors vis- -visthe state.
