La Verdad: An International Dialogue on Hip Hop Latinidades
ISBN: 9780814253717 / Angielski / Miękka / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From its earliest days, hip hop was more than just music, encapsulating the ideas of community and exchange.

In recent decades, the cultural exchange has expanded-the music traveling from the United States to Latin America and back as visual artists, music producers, MCs, vocalists, and dancers combine their Latin cultures with influences from north of the U.S. border to...

ISBN: 9781683400325 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Anchor Babies and the Challenge of Birthright Citizenship
ISBN: 9781503605091 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Birthright citizenship has a deep and contentious history in the United States, one often hard to square in a country that prides itself on being "a nation of immigrants." Even as the question of citizenship for children of immigrants was seemingly settled by the Fourteenth Amendment, vitriolic debate has continued for well over a century, especially in relation to U.S. race relations. Most recently, a provocative and decidedly more offensive term than birthright citizenship has emerged: "anchor babies." With this book, Leo R. Chavez explores the question of birthright citizenship,...
