Описание: Systematically exploring the dynamic interface between Mexico and the United States, this comprehensive, richly illustrated survey considers the historical development, current politics, society, economy, and daily life of the border region.
It is impossible to fully understand Cuba today without also understanding the economic sanctions levied against it by the United States. For over fifty years, these sanctions have been upheld by every presidential administration, and at times intensified by individual presidents and acts of Congress. They are a key part of the U.S. government's ongoing campaign to undermine the Cuban Revolution, and stand in egregious violation of international law. Most importantly, the sanctions are cruelly designed for their harmful impact on the Cuban people. In this concise and sober account, Salim Lamrani explains everything you need to know about U.S. economic sanctions against Cuba: their origins, their provisions, how they contravene international law, and how they affect the lives of Cubans. He examines the U.S. government's own official documents to expose what is hiding in plain sight: an indefensible, vicious, and wasteful blockade that has been roundly condemned by citizens around the world.

Описание: Contributions by Tunde Adeleke, Brian D. Behnken, Minkah Makalani, Benita Roth, Gregory D. Smithers, Simon Wendt, and Danielle L. WigginsBlack intellectualism has been misunderstood by the American public and by scholars for generations. Historically maligned by their peers and by the lay public as inauthentic or illegitimate, black intellectuals have found their work misused, ignored, or discarded. Black intellectuals have also been reductively placed into one or two main categories: they are usually deemed liberal or, less frequently, as conservative. The contributors to this volume explore several prominent intellectuals, from left-leaning leaders such as W. E. B. Du Bois to conservative intellectuals like Thomas Sowell, from well-known black feminists such as Patricia Hill Collins to Marxists like Claudia Jones, to underscore the variety of black intellectual thought in the United States. Contributors also situate the development of the lines of black intellectual thought within the broader history from which these trends emerged. The result gathers essays that offer entry into a host of rich intellectual traditions.
From a very tender age, Norma's dream was to become a nurse. Upon completion of secondary education and being told that she was too young to be accepted into nursing she took up employment as a receptionist at a resort. One week prior to her eighteenth birthday she was accepted at the Peebles Hospital as an Assistant Nurse and received less than half the salary she previously earned. She worked at all levels in the nursing hierarchy up to the Director of Nursing during her thirty-three years tenure.
She developed a special interest in midwifery and furthered her focus to women's health in general. As a certified childbirth educator, she empowers pregnant women and their spouses/partners to build confidence through unleashing any obstacles that hinders optimum wellness. Women are empowered to effectively care for themselves, build healthy relationships and strong families.
Having worked extensively as a nurse, she realizes there have been many historical events of significance going unnoticed and undocumented. She feels compelled to tell the story of the many trailblazers and those in current practice before this history is completely lost. The stories of nurses in other geographical areas have been told; Virgin Islands nurses, too, have experiences.
Norma is currently Manager of Health Benefits & Referrals with the National Health Insurance of the Virgin Islands and was a member of the implementation team. She enjoys cooking, baking, reading and traveling to new places and meeting people. Her faith in God has helped her to see challenges as opportunities and to live life at its fullest knowing that God has a divine purpose for each of our lives. Norma and her husband Charles are the parents of Vereen and Kyle, and grandson Kyle Jr.

Описание: During the late eighteenth century, Portugal and Spain sent joint mapping expeditions to draw a nearly 10,000-mile border between Brazil and Spanish South America. These boundary commissions were the largest ever sent to the Americas and coincided with broader imperial reforms enacted throughout the hemisphere. Where Caciques and Mapmakers Met considers what these efforts meant to Indigenous peoples whose lands the border crossed. Moving beyond common frameworks that assess mapped borders strictly via colonial law or Native sovereignty, it examines the interplay between imperial and Indigenous spatial imaginaries. What results is an intricate spatial history of border making in southeastern South America (present-day Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay) with global implications.
Drawing upon manuscripts from over two dozen archives in seven countries, Jeffrey Alan Erbig Jr. traces on-the-ground interactions between Ibero-American colonists, Jesuit and Guarani mission-dwellers, and autonomous Indigenous peoples as they responded to ever-changing notions of territorial possession. It reveals that Native agents shaped when and where the border was drawn, and fused it to their own territorial claims. While mapmakers' assertions of Indigenous disappearance or subjugation shaped historiographical imaginations thereafter, Erbig reveals that the formation of a border was contingent upon Native engagement and authority.
