Описание: This collection follows the extraordinary careers of nine colonial subjects who won seats in high-level parliamentary institutions of the imperial powers that ruled over them. Revealing an unexplored dimension of the complex political organisation of modern empires, the essays show how early imperial constitutions allowed for the emergence of these unexpected members of parliament, asks how their presence was possible, and unveils the reactions across metropolitan circles, local communities and the voters who brought them to office.
Unearthing the entanglements between political life in metropolitan and non-European societies, it illuminates the ambiguous zones, the margins for negotiation, and the emerging forms of leadership in colonial societies. From a Hispanicised Inca nobleman, to recently emancipated slaves and African colonial subjects, in linking these individuals and their political careers together, Unexpected Voices in Imperial Parliaments argues that the political organisation of modern empires incorporated the voices of the colonised and the non-European, in an ambiguous relationship that led to a widening of political participation and action throughout the imperial world. In doing so, this book offers a comprehensive but nuanced reassessment of the making and unmaking of modern empires.

Описание:
A gripping tale of a beautiful flamenco dancer from Spain with an aristocratic pedigree, and the only child to an overbearing famous bullfighter. She journeys to America on a dance tour in New York City, fulfilling a childhood dream to see America the Beautiful The Carlota Pena Flamenco Dance Troupe makes their way across America on their Flamenco Rojo, Blanco, y Azul Tour, closing out the tour in California where she meets and falls in love with an American. Opposing her fathers adamant wishes, she does not return home to Spain. Instead, she marries and soon gives birth to a daughter named Magdalena. She will encounter an unforeseen event that will alter the course of her very life.
The story picks up twenty-six years later . . .
Magdalena is an FBI agent on the hunt for an elusive serial killer. Her spiritual life is ignited through a chance encounter with an old schoolmate. As God ushers her to a twenty-seven-year-old cold case, where the seal is broken from her concealed past, she will learn to master her trust in God as she comes face-to-face with a pernicious dark evil, discovering her authority over all the power of her true enemy.
As a nation of immigrants, the United States has long accepted that citizens who identify with an ancestral homeland may hold dual loyalties; yet Americans have at times regarded the persistence of foreign ties with suspicion, seeing them as a sign of potential disloyalty and a threat to national security. Diaspora Lobbies and the US Government brings together a group of distinguished scholars of international politics and international migration to examine this contradiction in the realm of American policy making, ultimately concluding that the relationship between diaspora groups and the government can greatly affect foreign policy. This relationship is not unidirectional—as much as immigrants make an effort to shape foreign policy, government legislators and administrators also seek to enlist them in furthering American interests.
From Israel to Cuba and from Ireland to Iraq, the case studies in this volume illustrate how potential or ongoing conflicts raise the stakes for successful policy outcomes. Contributors provide historical and sociological context, gauging the influence of diasporas based on population size and length of time settled in the United States, geographic concentration, access to resources from their own members or through other groups, and the nature of their involvement back in their homelands. This collection brings a fresh perspective to a rarely discussed aspect of the design of US foreign policy and offers multiple insights into dynamics that may determine how the United States will engage other nations in future decades.
