Based on periodic ethnographic fieldwork over a span of fifteen years, Martinez shows how impoverished plantation dwellers find ways of coping with the alienation that would be expected while laboring to produce goods for the richer countries. Despite living in dire poverty, these workers live in a thoroughly commodified social environment. Ritual, eroticism, electronic media, household adornment, payday-weekend "binging" are ways even chronically poor plantation residents dream beyond reality. Yet plantation residents' efforts to live decently and escape from the dead hand of necessity also...

A multidisciplinary group of scholars examines how the actions of the United States as a global leader are worsening pressures on people worldwide to migrate, while simultaneously degrading migrant rights. Uniting such diverse issues as market reform, drug policy, and terrorism under a common framework of human rights, the book constitutes a call for a new vision on immigration.

Set adjacent to "victims" and "bystanders," "perpetrators" are by no means marginalized figures in human rights scholarship. Nevertheless, the extent to which the perpetrator is not only socially imagined but also sociologically constructed remains a central concern in studies of state-authorized mass violence. This interdisciplinary collection of essays builds upon such work by strategically interrogating the terms through which such a figure is read via law, society, and culture. Of particular concern to the contributors to this volume are the ways in which notions of "violation" and...

Declare that you are (present tense) fruitful and multiplying according to Genesis 1:28. Your best years are ahead of you. You have an amazing future
For surely there is a latter end (a future and a reward), and your hope and expectation will not be cut off. Proverbs 23:18 (AMP)
Joseph was a dreamer. He was his father's favorite son, but his brothers hated him. He was thrown into a pit, sold as a slave, and then thrown into prison. He thought his best days were behind him. Yet, while in prison, he interpreted another man's dream and ultimately God made Joseph's own...

My Father loves me in an immeasurable, limitless and surpassing manner. I am loved super abundantly and beyond measure.
The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you." (Jeremiah 31:3)
The Bible plainly states that God is for us and is on our side. Scripture further states that every good and perfect gift is from Him. If it is good it is our God. If it is not good it cannot be God.
Look at Jesus.
He only did good. He fed the hungry and healed the sick. Then on top of...

I have been called into His kingdom and glory--to sit with Jesus in heavenly places because the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good For His mercy endures forever. (Psalm 118:1)
A book on the goodness of God is a book on God Himself since He is All good and All loving. This book can change the way you think. It is not intended to be read in one sitting, although it can be. When you go through this book completely take time to read it again for another 31 days. Take time to do the confessions. God is truly good. Let this book...
