Free Download Robert Barsky, "Undocumented Immigrants in an Era of Arbitrary Law: The Flight and the Plight of People Deemed 'Illegal'"
English | ISBN: 1138634999 | 2016 | 220 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 10 MB
This book describes the experiences of undocumented migrants, all around the world, bringing to life the challenges they face from the moment they consider leaving their country of origin, until the time they are deported back to it. Drawing on a broad array of academic studies, including law, interpretation and translation studies, border studies, human rights, communication, critical discourse analysis and sociology, Robert Barsky argues that the arrays of actions that are taken against undocumented migrants are often arbitrary, and exercised by an array of officials who can and do exercise considerable discretion, both positive and negative.

When Queen Victoria died in 1901 it was the end of an era. Britain's dominance stretched across seven continents and its ruling classes were wealthier than ever before. Many later remembered the decade or so that followed as the long afternoon of an empire where the sun never set. Yet the Edwardians themselves were acutely aware that the country was in a state of flux; the seismic change that they felt would transform modern Britain forever.

Just what is nostalgia? Here are provocative and exciting stories about a great period of popular music.

English | 2015 | pages: 80 | ISBN: 1680480480 | EPUB | 10,6 mb
One of the most important chapters in American history, the civil rights era represents the path of recognition, acceptance, and lauding of one of America's greatest assets: its black American citizenry. This resource guides readers through the key events, successes, and trials of the civil rights movement, from the Montgomery bus boycott to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Though significant racial challenges remained even after the dismantling of legal segregation, that only makes studying the civil rights era all the more relevant for students in the twenty-first century.

Free Download Sergio Leone. Quando il cinema era grande
Italiano | 2007 | ISBN: 8871806948 | 174 Pages | PDF | 1.5 MB
Contrariamente a quanto si pensa, considerata la spettacolarità del suo cinema, Leone fece molta fatica ad affermarsi. Ed è proprio da questo che parte il racconto di Moscati, un avvincente intreccio di film e vita, alla scoperta dell'artista e dell'uomo, dalle prime opere fino al film-testamento "C'era una volta in America" e al kolossal mai realizzato sull'assedio di Leningrado.

Free Download Jews and Palestinians in the Late Ottoman Era, 1908-1914: Claiming the Homeland (Edinburgh Studies on the Ottoman Empire) By Louis A. Fishman
2019 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1474453996 | PDF | 8 MB
Uncovering a history buried by different nationalist narratives (Jewish, Israeli, Arab and Palestinian) this book looks at how the late Ottoman era set the stage for the on-going Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It presents an innovative analysis of the struggle in its first years, when Palestine was still an integral part of the Ottoman Empire. And it argues that in the late Ottoman era, Jews and Palestinians were already locked in conflict: the new freedoms introduced by the Young Turk Constitutional Revolution exacerbated divisions (rather than serving as a unifying factor). Offering an integrative approach, it considers both communities, together and separately, in order to provide a more sophisticated narrative of how the conflict unfolded in its first years.
