Book Description
This is the story of the travels and travails of an honest business man and his wife through the complex, inefficient and often times corrupt Jamaican Judicial System as they seek equitable redress against the machinations of venal and fraudulent business partners. The author details in graphic reality the administrative incompetence built into our Courts Systems, the institutional negligence of a crumbling financial structure and the outright corruption of the Professionals in the system, all of which combine to prevent honest Petitioners to the Court from obtaining Justice, even Petitioners with the ability to pay for legal representation. The author's thesis that the society is corrupt and that the weaknesses of the Judicial System support that corruption is underpinned with references and extracts from letters to the Press and media articles. The book is a damning indictment on a failed judicial institution and in a Society which is failing its citizens politically and administratively.

No Man's Land
Author: Cindy Hahamovitch
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400840023
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
From South Africa in the nineteenth century to Hong Kong today, nations around the world, including the United States, have turned to guestworker programs to manage migration. These temporary labor recruitment systems represented a state-brokered compromise between employers who wanted foreign workers and those who feared rising numbers of immigrants. Unlike immigrants, guestworkers couldn't settle, bring their families, or become citizens, and they had few rights. Indeed, instead of creating a manageable form of migration, guestworker programs created an especially vulnerable class of labor. Based on a vast array of sources from U.S., Jamaican, and English archives, as well as interviews, No Man's Land tells the history of the American "H2" program, the world's second oldest guestworker program. Since World War II, the H2 program has brought hundreds of thousands of mostly Jamaican men to the United States to do some of the nation's dirtiest and most dangerous farmwork for some of its biggest and most powerful agricultural corporations, companies that had the power to import and deport workers from abroad. Jamaican guestworkers occupied a no man's land between nations, protected neither by their home government nor by the United States. The workers complained, went on strike, and sued their employers in class action lawsuits, but their protests had little impact because they could be repatriated and replaced in a matter of hours. No Man's Land puts Jamaican guestworkers' experiences in the context of the global history of this fast-growing and perilous form of labor migration.

No Citizen Left Behind
Author: Meira Levinson
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674069587
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
While teaching at an all-Black middle school in Atlanta, Meira Levinson realized that students’ individual self-improvement would not necessarily enable them to overcome their profound marginalization within American society. This is because of a civic empowerment gap that is as shameful and antidemocratic as the academic achievement gap targeted by No Child Left Behind. No Citizen Left Behind argues that students must be taught how to upend and reshape power relationships directly, through political and civic action. Drawing on political theory, empirical research, and her own on-the-ground experience, Levinson shows how de facto segregated urban schools can and must be at the center of this struggle. Recovering the civic purposes of public schools will take more than tweaking the curriculum. Levinson calls on schools to remake civic education. Schools should teach collective action, openly discuss the racialized dimensions of citizenship, and provoke students by engaging their passions against contemporary injustices. Students must also have frequent opportunities to take civic and political action, including within the school itself. To build a truly egalitarian society, we must reject myths of civic sameness and empower all young people to raise their diverse voices. Levinson’s account challenges not just educators but all who care about justice, diversity, or democracy.
