Crossing Over: Comparing Recent Migration in the United States and Europe
ISBN: 9780739109618 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite growing cultural and economic homogenization across the globe, the visible presence of immigrant communities stands out in many metropolises of the world. In almost all major cities the cultural and physical presence of various ethnic or religious groups is very much in evidence. Yet, until now, the academic treatment of international migration has mostly been confined to limited case studies, single ethnic groups, or single locations. Crossing Over offers an alternative to this method, bringing together a diverse group of academics charged with submitting new research that juxtaposes...

Between Self-Determination and Dependency: Jamaica's Foreign Relations 1972-1989
ISBN: 9789766400583 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Between Self-Determination and Dependency analyses the nature and trajectory of Jamaica's foreign relations from 1972 to 1989. The central argument is that the relative autonomy of the Jamaican state declined due to the evolution of a new international regime which in effect disallowed the political, social and economic experimentation originally envisioned. Neither the attempt at radical nationalism by the People's National Party, nor the 'accommodationist' stance of the Jamaica Labour Party served to reduce Jamaica's structural dependency.
The analysis factors in the political and... Between Self-Determination and Dependency analyses the nature and trajectory of Jamaica's foreign relations from 1972 to 1989. The central argument is...

Constructing Vernacular Culture in the Trans-Caribbean
ISBN: 9780739121610 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this volume, the editors and authors strive to understand the evolving Trans-Caribbean as a discontinuous, displacing and displaced, transnational space. It considers the imagined community in the islands as its psycho-social homeland, while simultaneously pursuing different cultural strategies of redefining and resisting colonial 'homeland' conventions (which Kamau Brathwaite appropriately termed the 'inner plantation'). Thus, the Trans-Caribbean is suspended in a double-dialectic, which opposes both the hegemonic metropolitan space inhabited, as well as the romanticized, yet...
