Book Description
After an unexplainable anomaly creates a tear in the space-time continuum and jumps the entire galaxy and the multiple dimensions into one, a deadly invasion ensues on Earth by an armada known as The Coalition. Quick the respond to the invasion, the world continents unite to create the United World Army, recruiting every able-bodied man they could to fight, including the likes of KC Blackstone, a former soldier in 1952 to fight off the invaders; only to have his arms and legs completely destroyed in an explosion. On the brink of death, his childhood friend and long lost love of his life, Celeste, returns to him after being missing for decades and puts him into stasis until he is awakened 75 years later by a young and rowdy, tomboy genius named Riley, who replaced his missing limbs with new, robotic replacements in the now authoritarian, Coalition occupied Earth. Butting heads at first, KC and Riley are captured by Coalition forces where they are imprisoned in a labor camp when KC finds Celeste to be working for The Coalition. Reluctant at first, he convinces Riley to join him in escaping the labor camp and set off into the stars to save Celeste, and free her from the grasps of The Coalition’s powerful overlord, Maxim Drake, and revert the galaxy to how it once was.

Marriage Vows and Racial Choices
Author: Jessica Vasquez-Tokos
Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation
ISBN: 1610448634
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
Choosing whom to marry involves more than emotion, as racial politics, cultural mores, and local demographics all shape romantic choices. In Marriage Vows and Racial Choices, sociologist Jessica Vasquez-Tokos explores the decisions of Latinos who marry either within or outside of their racial and ethnic groups. Drawing from in-depth interviews with nearly 50 couples, she examines their marital choices and how these unions influence their identities as Americans. Vasquez-Tokos finds that their experiences in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood shape their perceptions of race, which in turn influence their romantic expectations. Most Latinos marry other Latinos, but those who intermarry tend to marry whites. She finds that some Latina women who had domineering fathers assumed that most Latino men shared this trait and gravitated toward white men who differed from their fathers. Other Latina respondents who married white men fused ideas of race and class and perceived whites as higher status and considered themselves to be “marrying up.” Latinos who married non-Latino minorities—African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans—often sought out non-white partners because they shared similar experiences of racial marginalization. Latinos who married Latinos of a different national origin expressed a desire for shared cultural commonalities with their partners, but—like those who married whites—often associated their own national-origin groups with oppressive gender roles. Vasquez-Tokos also investigates how racial and cultural identities are maintained or altered for the respondents’ children. Within Latino-white marriages, biculturalism—in contrast with Latinos adopting a white “American” identity—is likely to emerge. For instance, white women who married Latino men often embraced aspects of Latino culture and passed it along to their children. Yet, for these children, upholding Latino cultural ties depended on their proximity to other Latinos, particularly extended family members. Both location and family relationships shape how parents and children from interracial families understand themselves culturally. As interracial marriages become more common, Marriage Vows and Racial Choices shows how race, gender, and class influence our marital choices and personal lives.
