The Land of Open Graves : Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail (0520282752)



In his gripping and provocative debut, anthropologist Jason De Leon sheds light on one of the most pressing political issues of our time-the human consequences of US immigration policy. The Land of Open Graves reveals the suffering and deaths that occur daily in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona as thousands of undocumented migrants attempt to cross the border from Mexico into the United States. Drawing on the four major fields of anthropology, De Leon uses an innovative combination of ethnography, archaeology, linguistics, and forensic science to produce a scathing critique of "Prevention through Deterrence," the federal border enforcement policy that encourages migrants to cross in areas characterized by extreme environmental conditions and high risk of death. For two decades, this policy has failed to deter border crossers while successfully turning the rugged terrain of southern Arizona into a killing field. In harrowing detail, De Leon chronicles the journeys of people who have made dozens of attempts to cross the border and uncovers the stories of the objects and bodies left behind in the desert. The Land of Open Graves will spark debate and controversy.

Living Sociologically : Concepts and Connections (9780199325948)

Students are drawn to topics of urgent sociological concern-race, class, gender, family, popular culture, health, and crime-by a need to both understand the forces that shape their world, and their desire to make the world better. It can be challenging, however, for students to link sociological concepts with real-world applications. Living Sociologically: Concepts and Connections helps students make those connections. Encouraging students to observe, explore, and think critically about the social world, Living Sociologically offers a new, class-tested framework for teaching introduction to sociology. The "paired concepts" approach demonstrates the interdependent ways in which social forces work, and encourages students to engage with complexity and contradiction. It also connects students to a broader set of questions and provides them with critical, analytical tools for their post-college lives. In addition, each chapter includes an opening vignette, examples of contemporar...

Splittermond - Zhoujiang : Der Phönix im Schatten des Drachen (3958670628)

Lang und stolz ist die Geschichte von Zhoujiang, dem Land des Phönix, weit im Osten des Kontinents Lorakis. Seit Jahrhunderten blühen Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft in dem prachtvollen Reich am Jadeband, finden wertvolle Waren ihren Weg in weit entfernte Länder, lehren Kampfmeister ihre Kunst an angesehenen Schulen, erkunden Mönche und Gelehrte in abgelegenen Bergklöstern den Willen der Götter und das Wesen der Welt. Heute jedoch ist ein Schatten über das Land des Phönix gefallen. Der Tod der alten Kaiserin und der Aufstieg des einflussreichen General Wu haben das stolze Kaiserreich gespalten. Die Anhänger der Kaiserfamilie und die Soldaten des Generals liefern sich einen mal offenen, mal verborgenen Schlagabtausch, und im Schatten dieses Kampfes bauen die Triaden, die mächtigen Verbrecherorganisationen Zhoujiangs, ihre Macht immer weiter aus. Zhoujiang ist ein Quellenband für das Rollenspiel Splittermond, in dem das Kaiserreich am Jadeband beschrieben wird. In diesem Buch erhalten Sie...
