Описание: The second "wave" of U.S. immigration, from 1870 to 1920, brought more than 26 million men, women, and children onto American shores. June Granatir Alexander's history of the period underscores the diversity of peoples who came to the United States in these years and emphasizes the important shifts in their geographic origins from northern and western Europe to southern and eastern Europe that led to the distinction between "old" and "new" immigrants. Alexander offers an engrossing picture of the immigrants' daily lives, including the settlement patterns of individuals and families, the demographics and characteristics of each of the ethnic groups, and the pressures to "Americanize" that often made the adjustment to life in a new country so difficult. The approach, similar to David Kyvig's highly successful Daily Life in the United States, 1920 1940 (published by Ivan R. Dee in 2004), presents history with an appealing immediacy, on a level that everyone can understand.

Описание: Growing up in remote Cameroon, Richard Afuma could not expect to live much past the age of 40, and his chances of any sort of education were slim. But at the age of eight, Afuma found his way to a school run by Baptist missionaries, where he learned to write on banana leaves. When he was ten, he saw his first white person who, from the evidence of a flip chart at school, he took to be Jesus Christ. He was told that the Land Rovers and Land Cruisers he saw driving down the rutted roads of Kom were made by these same people--Jesuses with supernatural powers--who were uniformly called Americans. In The Python Trail, Afuma portrays the kind of journey that many immigrants have made, but few have described. When he arrived in Maine as a college freshman, he'd never heard of a washing machine, a microwave oven, or a coffee maker; the bed sheets were so clean and white, he was afraid he'd dirty them; and he believed computer printers were run by ghosts. As much as anything, Afuma was shocked to learn that poverty and homelessness existed in a place whose streets he'd thought were paved with gold. It had never occurred to him that he himself might face hardships here, so that, despite having earned a master's degree in public administration, he would fail time and time again to find meaningful employment. Scam artists preyed on him. Racism, though subtle, followed him wherever he went.

Описание: At once narrative and reflective, Loving Immigrants in America: An Experiential Philosophy of Personal Interaction is a philosophical account of Daniel Camposʼs experience as a Latin American immigrant to the United States of America. A series of interrelated personal essays together convey this experience of walking or sauntering, going on road trips, reading American literature in the southern United States, playing association football (soccer or f tbol), churchgoing, and Latin dancing in the U.S. This book's central motif is the caring saunterer, who is understood to be a person who makes him or herself at home anywhere, even as a Latino immigrant in the U.S. The narrative essays convey one immigrant's experience seeking an affective, social, and intellectual home in a new land. The intertwined philosophical reflections lead to the recommendation of an ethic of love--resilient love--for the day-to-day interactions and long-term relations between immigrants and hosts in this country. The author's aim is to establish an open and earnest philosophical dialogue with critical readers interested in the problems surrounding immigration in the U.S. today. He writes as an American philosopher--in the continental sense of North, Central, and South America--whose reflections provide an accessible and provocative angle for the development of insight into the experiences of immigrants in the United States. Thus he brings philosophical reflection drawn from experience, in the broad American tradition, to bear on current issues--on the problems of people and not of philosophers, as John Dewey might put it.

Описание: Black Immigrants in North America is a collection of cutting-edge essays from renowned scholar Awad Ibrahim. He tackles difficult and challenging topics at a time when the political climate encourages some to engage in “immigrant bashing,” making the publication of this volume more urgent than ever. When dealing with immigration and immigrants, Black immigrants are hardly mentioned, particularly continental Africans. Ibrahim discussed and analyzes subjects ranging from Critical Race Theory to an economy of hospitality to the intersection of race, language, and identity. This book is destined to be a foundational text in a variety of courses dealing with race and immigration.
Have you ever wondered what it is like live in the fear of being undocumented? Estimates in 2016 put the number of undocumented immigrants at 10.7 million, representing 3.3% of the total U.S. population according to Wikipedia.
The Stories of U.S. is a collection of the experiences of ten undocumented and first-generation immigrants who are living in the United States today. In the current political climate, oftentimes the stories of immigrants and first-generation Americans are tokenized and made into something that they are not. Perhaps you have done the same thing and not even realized it when echoing something from the media without a second thought. It is time for that thoughtful reflection. This book gives you an intimate look into the lives of some of the immigrants whose daily lives are affected in sometimes dangerous ways by their immigration status.
You will learn about individuals who have overcome immense barriers to live lives that others take for granted including:
Aury, who immigrated to the United States with her mother. She now must navigate an educational system while trying to find her place in this strange new land.
Kabira, a first-generation immigrant, who wonders if she'll ever see her grandparents again.
Pablito who lives each day knowing that his parents are knowing that his parents are undocumented. He wonders what the consequences might be for himself and his siblings.
And many more...
The Stories of U.S. will help you to gain a better understanding of both our own communities and the communities that surround us. While the immigration crisis is a political one, it is more so a humanitarian crisis at its core.
