Alien Nation
Author: Elliott Young
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469613409
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
In this sweeping work, Elliott Young traces the pivotal century of Chinese migration to the Americas, beginning with the 1840s at the start of the "coolie" trade and ending during World War II. The Chinese came as laborers, streaming across borders legally and illegally and working jobs few others wanted, from constructing railroads in California to harvesting sugar cane in Cuba. Though nations were built in part from their labor, Young argues that they were the first group of migrants to bear the stigma of being "alien." Being neither black nor white and existing outside of the nineteenth century Western norms of sexuality and gender, the Chinese were viewed as permanent outsiders, culturally and legally. It was their presence that hastened the creation of immigration bureaucracies charged with capture, imprisonment, and deportation. This book is the first transnational history of Chinese migration to the Americas. By focusing on the fluidity and complexity of border crossings throughout the Western Hemisphere, Young shows us how Chinese migrants constructed alternative communities and identities through these transnational pathways.

Book Description
"The United States Code is the official codification of the general and permanent laws of the United States of America. The Code was first published in 1926, and a new edition of the code has been published every six years since 1934. The 2012 edition of the Code incorporates laws enacted through the One Hundred Twelfth Congress, Second Session, the last of which was signed by the President on January 15, 2013. It does not include laws of the One Hundred Thirteenth Congress, First Session, enacted between January 2, 2013, the date it convened, and January 15, 2013. By statutory authority this edition may be cited "U.S.C. 2012 ed." As adopted in 1926, the Code established prima facie the general and permanent laws of the United States. The underlying statutes reprinted in the Code remained in effect and controlled over the Code in case of any discrepancy. In 1947, Congress began enacting individual titles of the Code into positive law. When a title is enacted into positive law, the underlying statutes are repealed and the title then becomes legal evidence of the law. Currently, 26 of the 51 titles in the Code have been so enacted. These are identified in the table of titles near the beginning of each volume. The Law Revision Counsel of the House of Representatives continues to prepare legislation pursuant to 2 U.S.C. 285b to enact the remainder of the Code, on a title-by-title basis, into positive law. The 2012 edition of the Code was prepared and published under the supervision of Ralph V. Seep, Law Revision Counsel. Grateful acknowledgment is made of the contributions by all who helped in this work, particularly the staffs of the Office of the Law Revision Counsel and the Government Printing Office"--Preface.

Domestic Violence
Author: Patricia G. Barnes
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 9780815330639
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Domestic violence has evolved in recent years from a husband's prerogative, to a technical violation of the law, to a crime with potentially serious consequences. As the toll of domestic violence becomes increasingly apparent, society is growing less and less tolerant of it. This three-volume series charts a revolution that arguably is as important to the lives of women as obtaining the rights to own property and to vote.Through incisive articles by leading authorities, landmark cases and diverse historical and contemporary documents, this three-volume set explores the history, nature and causes of domestic violence. A comprehensive introduction by the editor provides an analytical overview of the problem, presents a wide variety of viewpoints on controversial issues and a roadmap to challenges that lay ahead.The series chronicles the legal systems historically lackluster response to battering, tactics used by victims to force authorities to respond to their calls for help and innovative efforts underway to deter the problem through, among other things, education and enhanced legal sanctions.Libraries, law schools, law enforcement agencies, the judiciary, medical and social service professionals will find these books to be an indispensable reference work, the richest and most comprehensive collection available on the subject of domestic violence. For scholars in diverse fields such as history, sociology, psychology and women's studies, the anthology is an invaluable tool for interdisciplinary research. All readers will find the series to be a treasure trove of information regarding the evolving status of women in modern history.
