Book Synopsis Letters from the American Gulag by : John Clean
Download or read book Letters from the American Gulag written by John Clean and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-11-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of Erika, a 23 year old African American mother of 3 year old twins who was accosted at a night club and thrown to the ground. In defending herself, she cut two of her attackers. The attackers lied to the police and Erika was charged with attempted murder, aggravated mayhem, and assault. This book is the love letters between Erika and her fiance, through an unbelievable ordeal devoid of humanity and reeking of racial prejudice, who desperately tried to hold onto their love and commitment to themselves and to the children. Sometimes raw but always honest, this narrative highlights the tragedy of our modern day judicial system that has gone beyond convicting criminals of any and all crimes and instead condemns them with no hope of redemption. How many watchers do we need to keep us safe? The prison population has grown over 400 percent since 1980, the general population just 20 percent. This is a story of love, lost in that system.

Book excerpt: A profoundly moving and historical record—letters sent by sixteen fathers imprisoned in the Gulag camps to their children during the 1930s–1950s. “They will live as human beings and die as human beings; and in this alone lies man’s eternal and bitter victory over all the grandiose and inhuman forces that ever have been or will be.” —Vasily Grossman, Life and Fate Between the 1930s and 1950s, millions of people were sent to the Gulag in the Soviet Union. My Father’s Letters tells the stories of sixteen men—mostly members of the intelligentsia, and loyal Soviet subjects—who were imprisoned in the Gulag camps, through the letters they sent back to their wives and children. Here are letters illustrated by fathers keen to educate their children in science and natural history; the tragic missives of a former military man convinced that the terrible mistake of his arrest will be rectified; the “letter” stitched on a bedsheet with a fishbone and smuggled out of a maximum security camp. My Father’s Letters is an immediate source of life in prison during Stalin’s Great Terror. Almost none of the men writing these letters survived. “My Father’s Letters is well presented and deeply moving. The translation is fluent and all the necessary background information is clearly provided. Some passages conjure up the life of an individual family—and of an entire culture—with heart-breaking vividness.” —Robert Chandler “Astoundingly, these stories are not miserable. Yes, the men mention their inadequate shelter, clothing and food, but the overwhelming impact is the expression of their love for their families . . . My Father’s Letters is beautifully produced.” —Vin Arthey, Scotsman

Book excerpt: Lawrence and Luanne Bruckner live in Thomson, daily watching the $142M concrete complex sit empty-waiting silently for the 1800 prisoners and 761 correctional officers the State of Illinois promised to the depressed area in 1999. Lawrence is a graduate of Trinity college (CT) earning a BA, and MA in three years. He added a JD degree from the College of William and Mary and practiced law for thirty years He also served fourteen years in the Army Reserves as a JAG officer. Luanne is a tax expert who traces her heritage to the Mayflower and belongs to many hereditary organizations including the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was her inbred sense of justice and love of the unique American dream of Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness that spurred Lawrence to compile this story on human waste. A life is a terrible thing to waste. This work will be followed by a study on wasting youth in schools designed to serve the adults and a third project will examine waste in the complex transportation system run by cities, villages, counties, states, federal toll-ways. etc. A final study will tackle the welfare system that destroys the human, spirit of hope, creating the worse prisons, a living hell on earth.

Book Synopsis The Shadow of El Centro by : Jessica Ordaz
Download or read book The Shadow of El Centro written by Jessica Ordaz and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bounded by desert and mountains, El Centro, California, is isolated and difficult to reach. However, its location close to the border between San Diego and Yuma, Arizona, has made it an important place for Mexican migrants attracted to the valley's agricultural economy. In 1945, it also became home to the El Centro Immigration Detention Camp. The Shadow of El Centro tells the story of how that camp evolved into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service Processing Center of the 2000s and became a national model for detaining migrants—a place where the policing of migration, the racialization of labor, and detainee resistance coalesced. Using government correspondence, photographs, oral histories, and private documents, Jessica Ordaz reveals the rise and transformation of migrant detention through this groundbreaking history of one detention camp. The story shows how the U.S. detention system was built to extract labor, to discipline, and to control migration, and it helps us understand the long and shadowy history of how immigration officials went from detaining a few thousand unauthorized migrants during the 1940s to confining hundreds of thousands of people by the end of the twentieth century. Ordaz also uncovers how these detained migrants have worked together to create transnational solidarities and innovative forms of resistance.

Book Synopsis America's Invisible Gulag by : Stephen Fox
Download or read book America's Invisible Gulag written by Stephen Fox and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the least-known aspects of World War II is the internment of German «enemy aliens» in the United States. This narrative goes beyond other internment studies in its use of internee interviews and access to Justice and War Department personnel files. Fox concludes that rather than offering a reasonable assessment of the aliens' danger to United States internal security, the Justice Department incarcerated them - and excluded several hundred United States citizens - because of their German backgrounds, alleged disloyal statements and associations, socioeconomic class, or their characters and personalities.
Book Synopsis Migrant Marginality by : Philip Kretsedemas
Download or read book Migrant Marginality written by Philip Kretsedemas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book uses migrant marginality to problematize several different aspects of global migration. It examines how many different societies have defined their national identities, cultural values and terms of political membership through (and in opposition to) constructions of migrants and migration. The book includes case studies from Western and Eastern Europe, North America and the Caribbean. It is organized into thematic sections that illustrate how different aspects of migrant marginality have unfolded across several national contexts. The first section of the book examines the limitations of multicultural policies that have been used to incorporate migrants into the host society. The second section examines anti-immigrant discourses and get-tough enforcement practices that are geared toward excluding and removing criminalized “aliens”. The third section examines some of the gendered dimensions of migrant marginality. The fourth section examines the way that racially marginalized populations have engaged the politics of immigration, constructing themselves as either migrants or natives. The book offers researchers, policy makers and students an appreciation for the various policy concerns, ethical dilemmas and political and cultural antagonisms that must be engaged in order to properly understand the problem of migrant marginality.
