American Exodus
In the first decades of the 20th century, almost half of the Chinese Americans born in the United States moved to China—a relocation they assumed would be permanent. At a time when people from around the world flocked to the United States, this little-noticed emigration belied America’s image as a magnet for immigrants and a land of upward mobility for all. Fleeing racism, Chinese Americans who sought greater opportunities saw China, a tottering empire and then a struggling republic, as their promised land. American Exodus is the first book to explore this extraordinary migration of Chinese Americans. Their exodus shaped Sino-American relations, the development of key economic sectors in China, the character of social life in its coastal cities, debates about the meaning of culture and “modernity” there, and the U.S. government’s approach to citizenship and expatriation in the interwar years. Spanning multiple fields, exploring numerous cities, and crisscrossing the Pacific Ocean, this book will appeal to anyone interested in Chinese history, international relations, immigration history, and Asian American studies.
Noel
Noel: Christmas Retold--brings us back to the heart of Christmas through a trio of short stories. In "The Child," Mary, a common peasant girl in captive Nazareth, is visited by an angel. After the encounter she is found to be pregnant out of wedlock. Will her child be accepted as the promised Messiah? Will he be shunned or worse? In "Assigned," angels and demons clash, and high ranking guardians, Shamar and Natsar brace themselves for the most pivotal task they will be given the keeping of the one human who can save all of mankind. In "Mercys Dream," from under a staircase, on a piece of cardboard, a despondent homeless man witnesses a very strange night, that begins when a young couple gets off a bus and is stranded on his abandoned side of town.

Reauthoring Savage Inequalities
Reauthoring Savage Inequalities brings together scholars, educators, practitioners, and students to counter dominant narratives of urban educational environments. Using a community cultural wealth lens, contributors center the strategies, actions, and ways of knowing communities of color use to resist systemic oppression. So often, discussions of urban schooling are filled with stories of what Jonathan Kozol famously referred to as "savage inequalities" in his 1991 book of the same title—with tales of deficiency and despair. The counternarratives in this volume grapple with the inequalities highlighted by Kozol. Yet, in foregrounding lived experiences of educating and being educated in sch...

Forced Intervention
Having been kidnapped by a Baltimore Mob family and held for ransom, Anna Myer is used as the motivation to force he brother, Cris Weaver and his longtime friend, U.S. Customs Agent Dave Stevens to organize and carryout a gold smuggling operation from the rugged wilds of north central Mexico to the United States. Encountering dangerous weather, vicious bandits, forbidden love, hazardous mountain trails and treachery from every faction, they pursue the only available course to rescue Anna and escape with their lives, while avoiding capture by the Mexican police, being overcome by disgruntled peasants, killed by the mob or arrested as smugglers by the U.S. authorities. "Forced Intervention has an irresistible force of its own. The story propels the reader on a journey of intrigue and action with a host of unexpected turns. Be careful when and where you start to read this book—you just might not be able to stop." —Terry Baldwin, author of Tess, Terrorists and the Tiara
