When States Kill: Latin America, the U.S., and Technologies of Terror
ISBN: 9780292706798 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the early twentieth century, technological transfers from the United States to Latin American countries have involved technologies of violence for social control. As the chapters in this book illustrate, these technological transfers have taken various forms, including the training of Latin American military personnel in surveillance and torture and the provision of political and logistic support for campaigns of state terror. The human cost for Latin America has been enormous--thousands of Latin Americans have been murdered, disappeared, or tortured, and whole communities have been...

Constructing Immigrant 'Illegality': Critiques, Experiences, and Responses
ISBN: 9781107614246 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The topic of "illegal" immigration has been a major aspect of public discourse in the United States and many other immigrant-receiving countries. From the beginning of its modern invocation in the early twentieth century, the often ill-defined epithet of human "illegality" has figured prominently in the media; in vigorous public debates at the national, state, and local levels; and in presidential campaigns. In this collection of essays, contributors from a variety of disciplines - anthropology, law, political science, religious studies, and sociology - examine how immigration law shapes...

Enduring Violence: Ladina Women's Lives in Guatemala
ISBN: 9780520267671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Drawing on revealing, in-depth interviews, Cecilia Menjivar investigates the role that violence plays in the lives of Ladina women in eastern Guatemala, a little-visited and little-studied region. While much has been written on the subject of political violence in Guatemala, Menjivar turns to a different form of suffering--the violence embedded in institutions and in everyday life so familiar and routine that it is often not recognized as such. Rather than painting Guatemala (or even Latin America) as having a cultural propensity for normalizing and accepting violence, Menjivar aims to...

ISBN: 9780520222113 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 319 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In one of the most comprehensive treatments of Salvadoran immigration to date, Cecilia Menjivar gives a vivid and detailed account of the inner workings of the networks by which immigrants leave their homes in Central America to start new lives in the Mission District of San Francisco. Menjivar traces crucial aspects of the immigrant experience, from reasons for leaving El Salvador, to the long and perilous journey through Mexico, to the difficulty of finding work, housing, and daily necessities in San Francisco. Fragmented Ties argues that hostile immigration policies, shrinking...
