Refuge in the Lord
"In this overarching portrait of three decades of U.S. immigration reform, the author focuses on the roles, on the one hand, of presidents from Reagan to Obama, and on the other, of Catholic immigration advocates, shedding light on the relationship between debates over immigration policy and broader domestic politics"--Provided by publisher.
Poetiken des Scheiterns
Stellt das Scheitern in Form von Bankrott und Börsencrash häufig den dramatischen Endpunkt einer ökonomischen Unternehmung dar, so gilt für die Literatur nachgerade das Gegenteil. Der literarische Text macht den Misserfolg zum Ausgangspunkt einer Poetik des Scheiterns. Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen Erzählungen von Spekulanten, Versagern und Müßiggängern und interessieren sich für die ästhetischen Verfahren, durch welche die Thematik des Scheiterns von der Handlungs- und Figurenebene auf die Ebene des Erzählens übertragen wird. Die dabei sichtbar werdenden Formen der Verschwendung, Verknappung oder Verweigerung werden als Modi eines unökonomischen Erzählens perspektiviert, insofern sie den Prinzipien der Zielgerichtetheit und Effizienz zuwiderlaufen und sich gattungs- oder epochenspezifischen Erwartungen widersetzen. Auf diese Weise entzieht sich die Literatur Funktionalisierungsansprüchen und stellt ihre Widerständigkeit aus.

Introduction to Criminal Justice
Introduction to Criminal Justice, Tenth Edition, offers a student-friendly description of the criminal justice process—outlining the decisions, practices, people, and issues involved. It provides a solid introduction to the mechanisms of the criminal justice system, with balanced coverage of the issues presented by each facet of the process, including a thorough review of practices and controversies in law enforcement, the criminal courts, and corrections. In this revision, Edwards updates the statistics and research findings throughout. New sections include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent shift to NIBRS crime reporting, and the increasing attacks on the legitimacy of the criminal justice system. This edition has also expanded coverage of police use of force and technological improvements. Selected chapters now include a case study box to demonstrate how certain laws, programs, and technologies have been used in particular situations. Appropriate for all U.S. criminal justice programs, this text offers great value for students and instructors.
The Shadow of the Wall
Thanks to hundreds of interviews with Mexican deportees, this book puts a real face on discussions of immigration and border policies--Provided by publisher.
The Mayans Among Us
The Mayans Among Us conveys the unique experiences of Central American indigenous immigrants to the Great Plains, many of whom are political refugees from repressive, war-torn countries. Ann L. Sittig, a Spanish instructor, and Martha Florinda González, a Mayan community leader living in Nebraska, have gathered the oral histories of contemporary Mayan women living in the state and working in meatpacking plants. Sittig and González initiated group dialogues with Mayan women about the psychological, sociological, and economic wounds left by war, poverty, immigration, and residence in a new country. Distinct from Latin America’s economic immigrants and often overlooked in media coverage of Latino and Latina migration to the plains, the Mayans share their concerns and hopes as they negotiate their new home, culture, language, and life in Nebraska. Longtime Nebraskans share their perspectives on the immigrants as well. The Mayans Among Us poignantly explores how Mayan women in rural Nebraska meatpacking plants weave together their three distinct identities: Mayan, Central American, and American.
