Central American Immigrant Mothers and the Children Left Back Home
The migration movement of women, particularly the migration of Central American women, was examined in the context of its implications on mental health. Due to the persistent social, economic and political instability present in some of the countries of this region, many migrants from this area entering the United States bring with them the hardships and traumas associated with a life lived in the midst of negatives experiences and limited opportunities. The topic was researched by accessing peer reviewed and scholarly articles using services like ProQuest, EBSCO, PubMed, and Medline Plus. Many Central American migrant women, especially those fleeing poverty, family and social violence, have been found to display one or more traumas related to their experience. This finding suggests that a lot of these women already living in the United States are at risk of developing anxiety, depression and post-traumatic-stress disorder, and that not only their chances for a better future is compromised, but also the future of their children and their family as a whole.
The Celtic Evil Eye and Related Mythological Motifs in Medieval Ireland
If looks could kill... They can, according to medieval Irish texts - our richest literary inheritance in a Celtic language. The belief in evel, angry or envious eyes casting harmful glances that destroy their target is widespread. This is the first comprehensive study of 'the evil eye' in medieval Ireland. We follow the trail from Balor the fearsome one-eyed giant and other evil-eyed kings to saints casting the evil eye, and many others. This study surveys a fascinating body of Irish literature and also examines the evidence for belief in the evil eye in the daily life of medieval Ireland, where people tried to protect themselves against this purported harm by legislation, rituals, verbal precautions and remedies. Related mythological imagery is tracked down and a lost tale about a doomed king who follows a sinister-eyed woman into the Otherworld is reconstructed on the basis of surviving fragments. The edition and translation of a medieval Irish legal text by Fergus Kelly and two sagas in English translation conclude the volume.

The Colorblind Screen
The election of President Barack Obama signaled for many the realization of a post-racial America, a nation in which racism was no longer a defining social, cultural, and political issue. While many Americans espouse a colorblind racial ideology and publicly endorse the broad goals of integration and equal treatment without regard to race, in actuality this attitude serves to reify and legitimize racism and protects racial privileges by denying and minimizing the effects of systematic and institutionalized racism. Ina The Colorblind Screen, the contributors examine televisionOCOs role as the major discursive medium in the articulation and contestation of racialized identities in the United S...

Every child counts: new global estimates on child labour
[Introduction] This document presents the results of ILO research on the global magnitude of child labour. It introduces new global estimates for economic activity by children and child labour in the sense of ILO Conventions Nos 138 and 182. There are no national data to be found in this document. The lowest aggregate level presented are the major world regions. All estimates are for the benchmark year 2000. Child labour is a sensitive subject and numbers on its magnitude play an important role in global policy-making and advocacy efforts. The research was conducted in acute awareness of this responsability and used well-proven statistical methodologies in an attempt to keep error margins to a minimum. All sources, underlying definitions and methodological steps are explained in detail. The document is devided into three main sections. Section 1 presents the main findings. Sections 2 and 3 introduce definitions and methodologies. Data are presented in tables and charts
