'Mixed Race' Studies
Author: Jayne O. Ifekwunigwe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135170711
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Mixed race studies is one of the fastest growing, as well as one of the most important and controversial areas in the field of race and ethnic relations. Bringing together pioneering and controversial scholarship from both the social and the biological sciences, as well as the humanities, this reader charts the evolution of debates on 'race' and 'mixed race' from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book is divided into three main sections: tracing the origins: miscegenation, moral degeneracy and genetics mapping contemporary and foundational discourses: 'mixed race', identities politics, and celebration debating definitions: multiraciality, census categories and critiques. This collection adds a new dimension to the growing body of literature on the topic and provides a comprehensive history of the origins and directions of 'mixed race' research as an intellectual movement. For students of anthropology, race and ethnicity, it is an invaluable resource for examining the complexities and paradoxes of 'racial' thinking across space, time and disciplines.

How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease
Author: United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Government publications
Languages : en
Pages : 728
Book Description
This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Publisher: Government Printing Office
ISBN: 9780160941801
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 456
Book Description
The 2017 Trafficking in Persons Report highlights the successes achieved and the remaining challenges before us on this important issue.

The text includes side bars of situational human trafficking experiences to allow the reader to understand the different types that occur throughout the world. High school students and above may find this report helpful for research and writing essays about human rights and law enforcement of human trafficking. American citizens, policy analysts and decision-makers, law enforcement personnel, and human rights policy activists and advocates and world leaders may refer to this report as a reference on these crimes.

Estudio sobre la Explotación Sexual Comercial de Niñas, Niños y Adolescentes
Author: Emilio Daniel Cunjama López
Publisher: INACIPE
ISBN: 6075600507
Category : Social Science
Languages : es
Pages : 321
Book Description
La explotación sexual comercial de niñas, niños y adolescentes (ESCNNA) es un problema que en el 2018 es vigente en México. En la búsqueda de la comprensión del fenómeno se configuró un estudio que analiza desde nuevos enfoques todas las aristas del problema que originan la vulnerabilidad de este sector. En ese esfuerzo, la Secretaría de Salud a través del Sistema Nacional para el Desarrollo Integral de la Familia (SNDIF) y el Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Penales (INACIPE) trabajaron en conjunto para la realización de esta investigación. El presente libro es un exhaustivo estudio sociológico en el que se analizan las ciudades donde se presentan abusos y vejaciones; también se ocupa de exponer un panorama real y crudo que responde a cuestionamientos tales como: ¿Por qué la situación sociodemográfica es un factor determinante en este fenómeno?, ¿cuáles son las condiciones de los niños y adolescentes vulnerables?, ¿cómo es el modus operandi en que son captados?, ¿qué papel juegan las redes sociales? Y sobre todo ¿qué se debe hacer para impedirlo?

Nomadic Subjects
Author: Rosi Braidotti
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 023151526X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.

Gringo Love
Author: Marie-Eve Carrier-Moisan
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487594542
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
In the city of Natal in northeastern Brazil, several local women negotiate the terms of their intimate relationships with foreign tourists, or gringos, in a situation often referred to as "sex tourism." These women have different experiences, but they share a similar desire to "escape" the social conditions of their lives in Brazil. Based on original ethnographic research and presented in graphic form, Gringo Love explores the hopes, dreams, and realities of these women against a backdrop of deep social inequality and increasing state surveillance leading up to the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games. It touches on important contemporary issues, including sexual economics, transnational mobility, romantic imaginaries, gender representation, race and inequality, and visual methods. The graphic story is accompanied by analysis and contextual discussion, which encourage readers to engage with the narrative and expand their understanding of the broader social issues therein.

Plant Genomics
Author: Ibrokhim Y. Abdurakhmonov
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 9535124552
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Plant genomics aims to sequence, characterize, and study the genetic compositions, structures, organizations, functions, and interactions/networks of an entire plant genome. Its development and advances are tightly interconnected with proteomics, metabolomics, metagenomics, transgenomics, genomic selection, bioinformatics, epigenomics, phenomics, system biology, modern instrumentation, and robotics sciences. Plant genomics has significantly advanced over the past three decades in the land of inexpensive, high-throughput sequencing technologies and fully sequenced over 100 plant genomes. These advances have broad implications in every aspect of plant biology and breeding, powered with novel genomic selection and manipulation tools while generating many grand challenges and tasks ahead. This Plant genomics provides some updated discussions on current advances, challenges, and future perspectives of plant genome studies and applications.
