Book Synopsis Young, Well-Educated, and Adaptable by : Francis Peddie
Download or read book Young, Well-Educated, and Adaptable written by Francis Peddie and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1973 and 1978, six thousand Chileans leftists took refuge in central Canada after the Pinochet coup d’état. Once resettled at the northern extreme of the Americas, these political exiles had to find ways of coping with an abrupt and violent separation from their homeland that had deep material and emotional repercussions. In Young, Well-Educated, and Adaptable, Francis Peddie documents the experiences of twenty-one Chileans as they navigate their newfound identity as exiles. Peddie also considers how the admission of people from the wrong side of the Cold War ideological divide had an effect on Canadian immigration and refugee policy, establishing a precedent for the admission of political exiles over the decades that followed.

Book Synopsis A Mighty Long Way (Adapted for Young Readers) by : Carlotta Walls LaNier
Download or read book A Mighty Long Way (Adapted for Young Readers) written by Carlotta Walls LaNier and published by Yearling. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the story of Carlotta Walls LaNier, who in 1957 at the age of fourteen was one of nine black students who integrated the all-white Little Rock Central High School and became known as the Little Rock Nine. At fourteen years old, Carlotta Walls was the youngest member of the Little Rock Nine. The journey to integration in a place deeply against it would not be not easy. Yet Carlotta, her family, and the other eight students and their families answered the call to be part of the desegregation order issued by the US Supreme Court in its 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case. As angry mobs protested, the students were escorted into Little Rock Central High School by escorts from the 101st Airborne Division, which had been called in by then-president Dwight D. Eisenhower to ensure their safety. The effort needed to get through that first year in high school was monumental, but Carlotta held strong. Ultimately, she became the first Black female ever to walk across the Central High stage and receive a diploma. The Little Rock Nine experienced traumatic and life-changing events not only as a group but also as individuals, each with a distinct personality and a different story. This is Carlotta's courageous story.
Book Synopsis Young, Well-educated and Adaptable People by : Francis David Peddie

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation describes the challenges and changes to lifestyle and identity experienced by twenty-one Chileans who came to Canada as exiles between 1973 and 1978. It is based largely on the testimony of the exiles themselves, augmented by research conducted at archives in Canada, Chile and the 'united States as well as primary and secondary sources that focus on modem Chilean history, Canadian immigration history, and the subject of exile. The experiences of the people I interviewed are contextualized by relating them to the events that pushed them out of Chile following the coup d'état of 11 September 1973, and the process by which they gained entry into Canada despite being from the wrong side of the Cold War ideological divide. Once resettled in Canada, the interviewees became part of a community whose primary raison d'être was to denounce the military government that ruled their homeland and denied them their place in the Chilean nation. The development of a culture of exile gave Chileans in Canada both a sense of continued belonging to their vision of the national community and also an outlet to express their condemnation of the regime that had made them outcasts. At the same time, I argue that the Chilean exiles of the 1970s eventually experienced transformations in their sense of personal and collective identity as the years passed and they became connected to their Canadian surroundings through work, family life and a new sense of belonging. The integration of many Chilean exiles into Canadian society, in turn, illustrates how immigration and refugee policy at the time favored the admission of young, well-educated and adaptable people who could become successful immigrants and bring benefits to the country, regardless of their ideological beliefs.

The original academic text is fully adapted by renowned curriculum experts Debbie Reese and Jean Mendoza, for middle-grade and young adult readers to include discussion topics, archival images, original maps, recommendations for further reading, and other materials to encourage students, teachers, and general readers to think critically about their own place in history.

Book Synopsis Thomas Jefferson by : Alf Johnson Mapp (Jr.)
Download or read book Thomas Jefferson written by Alf Johnson Mapp (Jr.) and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follows Jefferson from his inauguration as President in 1801 to his death at the age of 83 on July 4, 1826. It embraces the eight years as Chief Executive in which he doubled the size of the United States by his daring Louisiana Purchase, sent Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on one of the world's greatest expeditions of exploration, and challenged the formidable Chief Justice John Marshall with a major program of judicial reform. It proves the falseness of the stereotype that Jefferson ignored national defense and tried to keep the Navy weak. The book shows him late in life, with ideas that have relevance today, planning a system of public education and founding the University of Virginia, and it reveals, better than any other biography to date, the intimate details of the lonely private battle he fought during his last tortured, but ultimately triumphant, decade.

These experiences encompass internal and international migration and forced displacement, as well as questions surrounding education such as school choice, education provision and training as human capital; education and social inclusion; and student performance in a post-conflict context. By covering a wide range of questions and situations, the original scholarship in this book reveals how human development concerns and higher rates of movement within and outside of Asian countries operate on multiple levels in a globalized world.

Book Synopsis Strangers on Familiar Soil by : Edward D. Melillo
Download or read book Strangers on Familiar Soil written by Edward D. Melillo and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-01-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging exploration of the diverse historical connections between Chile and California This groundbreaking history explores the many unrecognized, enduring linkages between the state of California and the country of Chile. The book begins in 1786, when a French expedition brought the potato from Chile to California, and it concludes with Chilean president Michelle Bachelet's diplomatic visit to the Golden State in 2008. During the intervening centuries, new crops, foods, fertilizers, mining technologies, laborers, and ideas from Chile radically altered California's development. In turn, Californian systems of servitude, exotic species, educational programs, and capitalist development strategies dramatically shaped Chilean history. Edward Dallam Melillo develops a new set of historical perspectives--tracing eastward-moving trends in U.S. history, uncovering South American influences on North America's development, and reframing the Western Hemisphere from a Pacific vantage point. His innovative approach yields transnational insights and recovers long-forgotten connections between the peoples and ecosystems of Chile and California.

Book Synopsis Just Mercy (Adapted for Young Adults) by : Bryan Stevenson
Download or read book Just Mercy (Adapted for Young Adults) written by Bryan Stevenson and published by Ember. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bryan Stevenson's incredible fight to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality comes to life in this young adult adaptation of the acclaimed, #1 New York Times bestseller that was adapted into a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan, Jaime Foxx, and Brie Larson. In this very personal work--adapted from the original #1 bestseller, which the New York Times calls "as compelling as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so"--renowned lawyer and social justice advocate Bryan Stevenson offers a glimpse into the lives of the wrongfully imprisoned and his efforts to fight for their freedom as the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. Stevenson's story is one of working to protect basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society--the poor, the wrongly convicted, and those whose lives have been marked by discrimination and marginalization. Through this adaptation, young people of today will find themselves called to action and compassion in the pursuit of justice. A portion of the proceeds of this book will go to charity to help in Stevenson's important work to benefit the voiceless and the vulnerable as they attempt to navigate the broken U.S. justice system.

Book Synopsis Flexible Authoritarianism by : Anna Schwenck
Download or read book Flexible Authoritarianism written by Anna Schwenck and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flexible Authoritarianism challenges the idea that the transnational rise of authoritarianism is a backlash against economic globalization and neoliberal capitalism. Flexible authoritarianism--a form of government that simultaneously incentivizes a can-do spirit and suppresses dissent--reflects the resonance between authoritarian and neoliberal ideologies in today's comeback of strongman rule. The book conveys the look and feel of flexible authoritarianism in Russia through the eyes of up-and-coming youth. Drawing on field observations, in-depth interviews, and analyses of documents and video clips, Anna Schwenck demonstrates how flexible authoritarianism is stabilized ideologically by the insignia of cool start-up capitalism and by familiar cultural forms such as the summer camp. It critically evaluates how loyalty to the regime--the order underlying political and economic life in a polity--is produced and contested among those young people who seek key positions in politics, business, the public sector, or creative industries.
