Название:States Against Migrants: Deportation in Germany and the United States
Автор: Antje Ellermann
Издательство: Cambridge University Press
Год: 2009
Формат: pdf
Страниц: 215
Для сайта: Mirknig.su
Размер: 1 MB
Язык: English

In this comparative study of the contemporary politics of deportation in Germany and the United States, Antje Ellermann analyzes the capacity of the liberal democratic state to control individuals within its borders. The book grapples with the question of why, in the 1990s, Germany responded to vociferous public demands for stricter immigration control by passing and implementing far-reaching policy reforms, while the United States failed to effectively respond to a comparable public mandate. Drawing on extensive field interviews, Ellermann finds that these crossnational differences reflect institutionally determined variations in socially coercive state capacity.

Mexico’s southern state of Quintana Roo is often perceived by archaeologists as a blank spot on the map of the Maya world, a region generally assumed to hold little of interest thanks to its relative isolation from the rest of Mexico. But salvage archaeology required by recent development along the “Maya Riviera,” along with a suite of other ongoing and recent research projects, have shown that the region was critical in connecting coastal and inland zones, and it is now viewed as an important area in its own right from Preclassic through post-contact times. The first volume devoted to the archaeology of Quintana Roo, this book reveals a long tradition of exploration and discovery in the region and an increasingly rich recent history of study.

Recent research on the U.S. House of Representatives largely focuses on the effects of partisanship, but the strikingly less frequent studies of the Senate still tend to treat parties as secondary considerations in a chamber that gives its members far more individual leverage than congressmen have.

When the people of British North America threw off their colonial bonds, they sought more than freedom from bad government: most of the founding generation also desired the freedom to create and enjoy good, popular, responsive government. This book traces the central issue on which early Americans pinned their hopes for positive government action--internal improvement. The nation's early republican governments undertook a wide range of internal improvement projects meant to assure Americans' security, prosperity, and enlightenment--from the building of roads, canals, and bridges to the establishment of universities and libraries.

Название:Post Conquest Maya Literature

In Post-Conquest times Mayan scribes kept alive an apparently Pre-Columbian custom of transcribing or renewing the sacred books in their charge. This custom, in fact, seems to have survived down to the present if the reports from such towns as X-Cacal Guardia, Chan Cah, Chum Pom, and Dzitnup are true. As early as the latter part of the 16th century Mayan scribes began transcribing their material in the Latin script, and abandoned the general use of hieroglyphs. In the colonial manuscripts available to us there is only a scant use of hieroglyphs, and those glyphs which are shown are remote in execution from their Pre-Columbian counterparts.

History is the key to understanding men-whether as nations, families, or individuals. For Catholics, history has an even higher purpose beside. For them, history is the unfolding of God's Will in time, and the attempts of men either to conform themselves to or to resist that Will.
