Belize: Tracking the Path of Its History
"Belize belies its geographical location: It is a sparsely populated English-speaking enclave perched between Spanish-speaking countries.

Peace Corps and Citizen Diplomacy
For over 50 years, more than 225,000 Peace Corps volunteers have been placed in over 140 countries around the world, with the goals of helping the recipient countries need for trained men and women, to promote a better understanding of Americans for the foreign nationals, and to promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans. The Peace Corps program, proposed during a 2 a.m. campaign stop on October 14, 1960 by America's Camelot, was part idealism, part belief that the United States could help Global South countries becoming independent.

Theorie und Empirie der Migrationslinguistik
Anliegen des Buches ist es, einen theoretischen wie auch empirischen Beitrag zur noch jungen Disziplin der Migrationslinguistik zu leisten. Mit dem Ziel, eine holistische und differenzierte Perspektive zur Erforschung der sprachlichen Folgen von Migration zu liefern, entwickelt die Autorin ein interdisziplinär angelegtes migrationslinguistisches Modell, das sie als Untersuchungsraster in einer Fallstudie zur galicischen Migration nach Argentinien anwendet. Mit dem Kontakt zwischen dem Galicischen und zwei spanischen Varietäten fügt die Studie der Migrationsforschung im romanischen Sprachraum einen Fall hinzu, der eine besondere plurilinguale Konstellation aufweist.

Sapeurs
British photographer Tariq Zaidi presents a fashion subculture of Kinshasa & Brazzaville: La Sape, Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes. Its followers are known as 'Sapeurs' ('Sapeuses' for women). Most have ordinary day jobs as taxi-drivers, tailors and gardeners, but as soon as they clock off they transform themselves into debonair dandies. Sashaying through the streets they are treated like rock stars - turning heads, bringing 'joie de vivre' to their communities and defying their circumstances.
