Download or read book One Out of Three written by Nancy Foner and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This absorbing anthology features in-depth portraits of diverse ethnic populations, revealing the surprising new realities of immigrant life in twenty-first-century New York City. Contributors show how nearly fifty years of massive inflows have transformed New York City's economic and cultural life and how the city has changed the lives of immigrant newcomers. Nancy Foner's introduction describes New York's role as a special gateway to America. Subsequent essays focus on the Chinese, Dominicans, Jamaicans, Koreans, Liberians, Mexicans, and Jews from the former Soviet Union now present in the city and fueling its population growth. They discuss both the large numbers of undocumented Mexicans living in legal limbo and the new, flourishing community organizations offering them opportunities for advancement. They recount the experiences of Liberians fleeing a war torn country and their creation of a vibrant neighborhood on Staten Island's North Shore. Through engaging, empathetic portraits, contributors consider changing Korean-owned businesses and Chinese Americans' increased representation in New York City politics, among other achievements and social and cultural challenges. A concluding chapter follows the prospects of the U.S.-born children of immigrants as they make their way in New York City.

Book Synopsis 100 Years On: Revisiting the First Russian Art Exhibition of 1922 by : Isabel Wünsche
Download or read book 100 Years On: Revisiting the First Russian Art Exhibition of 1922 written by Isabel Wünsche and published by Böhlau Köln. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Russian Art Exhibition (Erste Russische Kunstausstellung), which opened at the Galerie van Diemen in Berlin on October 15, 1922, and later travelled to Amsterdam, introduced a broad Western audience to the most recent artistic developments in Russia. The extensive show – more than a thousand works, including paintings, graphic works, sculptures, stage designs, architectural models, and works of porcelain – was remarkably inclusive in its scope, which ranged from traditional figurative painting to the latest constructions of the Russian avant-garde. Coming on the heels of the Treaty of Rapallo, the exhibition was a first cultural step towards bilateral relations between two young and yet internationally isolated new states – the Weimar Republic and the Russian Soviet Republic. Moving away from the narrow focus on the avant-garde, the volume presents new research that examines the exhibition's broader historical scope and cultural implications. The reception of the exhibition within artistic circles in Germany, Europe, the United States, and Japan in the 1920s is addressed, as well as the disposition of many of the works exhibited. The combination of longer, thematic essays and short features, along with reproductions of newly identified works and a selection of unpublished archival materials make this book valuable to both a scholarly and a general readership.
Book Synopsis Revising Dreyfus by : Maya Balakirsky Katz
Download or read book Revising Dreyfus written by Maya Balakirsky Katz and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Revising Dreyfus, contributors from a wide variety of disciplines (art history, film, media, theater, sociology, history) offer new ways of understanding the ever-evolving meanings of the Dreyfus Affair. Although the Dreyfusards led the way in explicating the nuances of the Affair in lengthy treatises, the anti-Dreyfusards far outstripped their opponents on the graphic front, particularly through print media, photographs, postcards, broadsides, films, illustrated journal covers, and the plastic arts. Revising Dreyfus traces the dominant modes of “seeing” the Dreyfus Affair, often in opposition to “reading” the Affair in three major contexts: French, Zionist, and American.

Book Synopsis Reclaiming and Redefining American Exhibitions of Russian Art by : Roann Barris
Download or read book Reclaiming and Redefining American Exhibitions of Russian Art written by Roann Barris and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-23 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the history of American exhibitions of Russian art in the twentieth century in the context of the Cold War. Because this history reflects changes in museological theory and the role of governments in facilitating or preventing intercultural cooperation, it uncovers a story that is far more complex than a chronological listing of exhibition names and art works. Roann Barris considers questions of stylistic appropriations and influences and the role of museum exhibitions in promoting international and artistic exchanges. Barris reveals that Soviet and American exchanges in the world of art were extensive and persistent despite political disagreements before, during, and after the Cold War. It also reveals that these early exhibitions communicated contradictory and historically invalid pictures of the Russian or Soviet avant-garde. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, museum studies, and Russian studies.

Download or read book Odyssey of Culture written by Yan Zhou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first case study on Wenda Gu that systematically investigates the cultural and artistic context of his life and works, examining selected images of his artwork spanning from the late 1970s to the early 21st century. It is the first monograph to provide a comprehensive and profound study of a Chinese contemporary artist. In the 1980s, the School of Hermeneutics attempted to launch a discursive revolution. Vanguard artists believed that the visual art revolution was an integral part of the critique of culture because it tended to subvert and rebuild the cultural tradition at a discursive level. This book, using a case study on Wenda Gu as representative of Chinese avant-garde, investigates the centrality of culture in art, providing readers with insights on the origin, rationale and methodology of Chinese contemporary art.
Book Synopsis Creativity and Beyond by : Robert Paul Weiner
Download or read book Creativity and Beyond written by Robert Paul Weiner and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity and Beyond offers a wide-ranging, interdisciplinary tour of cultures past and present to examine the different ways people have conceived of "creativity" and how the common understanding of creativity is changing in the current flux of global culture. Weiner analyzes the ways in which understanding creativity is tied to broader contemporary patterns, including intellectual concerns with postmodernism; trends in the arts; the changing status of women; the power of the electronic media; multiculturalism; developments in psychology, science, and technology; and the dramatic political, economic, and social transformations of our age.

Book Synopsis Black Money and Economic Crimes by : Dr. A.K. Saxena
Download or read book Black Money and Economic Crimes written by Dr. A.K. Saxena and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern economic system, Black Money refers to funds earned in the black market, on which income and other taxes have not been paid. The total amount of black money deposited in foreign banks by Indians is unknown, but one estimate by an expert reveals that the black money held by Indians, in foreign banks is more than all the black money, hoarded by people in the rest of the world, combined together. While official numbers are not available, Swiss banking personnel have also said that the largest depositors of illegal foreign money in Switzerland are Indians. Black Money is an economic term, hard to define, accurately. Black Money is also sometimes used for payments to evade tax. However, this is a mild form of black money. This money in fact is obtained, illegally and is partially suppressed. A popular way for criminals to launder black money in property is to set up complex structures. In this way, they try to see that the money flows out. This book on this subject should certainly prove to be an asset for all scholars, researchers and social activists Table of Contents Preface....................................... ix Introduction............................... 1 Definition of Black Money • Birth of Black Money • Burning Topic • Use of Black Money • Controlling Black Money • Roots and Causes of Black Money • Black Money Scenario • Another Definition • Mid-form of Black Money • Art of Spending • Repentance Scheme • Black Money in Swiss Banks • The Modus Operandi • Mauritius Route • Non-sufficient Funds • Implementation Black Money in India..................... 33 An Overview • Sources of Black Money • Parallel Economy • Political and Administrative Corruption • Indian Politics and Black Money • Remedy to Corruption • Failed Policies • Current Scene • Baba Ramdev and his Individual “Satyagraha” • Industries and Black Money • Poverty, Industrial Scam and Corruption • Illicit Means Adopted • Tax Information Exchange Agreement • Economics of Corruption • Remittance Services • Cybercrime • White-collar Crimes • Terrorist Financing • Human Trafficking • Court Cases Impact of Black Money on Indian Economy 71 Effects and Aftereffects • Other Effects • Various Causes of Black Money • Effects of Black Income • Impact on Common Man • Inflation • Speculative Investments • Major Tax Havens • State of Indian Economy Indian Government’s Actions against Black Money................................ 81 Law against Black Money • Income Tax Department’s Role • Various Measures Undertaken Money Laundering........................ 95 Disguising Illegal Sources • General Aspects • Methods • Enforcement • Laws by Region • Locations • Castle Bank and Trust • FIMACO • Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act • Legislative History • Money Laundering Control Act • Money Mule • Nugan Hand Bank • Founding • Parcel Mule Scam • Russian Mafia Unlawful Transactions................. 129 Cheque Fraud • Types of Cheque Fraud • Bad Cheque Writing • Cheque Kiting • Bad Cheque Restitution Programme • Methods • Circular Kiting • ChexSystems • Services • Overdraft • Shared Cheque Authorisation Network Black Marketing........................... 155 Background • Transportation Providers • Modern Examples Insider Trading............................ 169 Definition of Insider • Legal Insider Trading • Illegal Insider Trading • Liability for Insider Trading • Tracking Insider Trades • Common Law Menace of Corruption................... 181 Etymology • Areas of Corruption • Corrupt Activities • Bid Rigging • Bribery • Cartel • Collusion • Cronyism Corruption in India....................... 207 An Overview • The Background • Politics • Bureaucracy • Land and Property • Income Tax Department • Judiciary • Armed Forces • Medicine • Religious Institutions • Education • Protectors against Corruption • Socioeconomic Issues • Economic Issues • Violence Organized Crimes......................... 223 The Background • Theoretical Background • Critical Criminology and Sociology • Models of Organised Crime • Individual Difference • Violence The Scams.................................... 249 Lottery Scam • Charity Scams • Fraud Recovery Scams • Pet-Scams • Rental Scams • Attorney Collection Scams Controlling Financial Crimes......... 255 Various Organisations • Directorate General of Economic Enforcement • Directorate of Revenue Intelligence • Economic Intelligence Council • Various Members • Financial Crimes Enforcement Network • Hawala • Financial Transaction Centre • Guardia di Finanza • Different Roles • Anti-drug Operations • Chiasso Financial Smuggling Case • Unit Awards • Special Departments • Mobile Phone Financial Services • Market Abuse • Market Manipulation • Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera • Department of Customs and Special Taxes • Territorial Services • Armament and Equipment • Slush Fund • the United States Secret Service • Uniformed Division • United Nations Convention against Corruption Anti-corruption movement in India. 299 Background • India against Corruption Movement • August Protests • Vote Bank against Corruption • Political Support • Jan Lokpal Bill • Use of Cyberspace • Government’s Response • Political Response to Jantar Mantar Protests • Ramlila Ground Protests • Police Action against Demonstration • Aftermath of the Protests • Civil Society Response • Suo Moto Cognisance by the Supreme Court • Protest Timeline Laws in Various Countries............. 327 International Laws • Indian Laws against Corruption • The Acts • The Amended Act • Patronage • Ecclesiastical • Price-Fixing • Criticism on Legislation Bibliography................................ 345 Index.......................................... 363
