Luca Misculin fa un vero e proprio carotaggio storico, raccontando la stratificazione di popoli, uomini e miti che si sono succeduti nel corso dei secoli.

Von marokkanischen Hijabs bis zum chinesischen Händlern, von indischem Curry bis zu italienischer Pasta – diese Mischung zeigt, wie Integration vor sich geht.

Enormous legal cross-border flows of people, goods, and finance are embedded in the region's history and prompted by the need to respond to new opportunities and challenges that originate on the other side. In Border Economies, James Gerber examines how the interactivity and sensitivity of communities to conditions across the border differentiates them from communities in the interiors of Mexico and the United States. Gerber explains what makes the region not only unique but uniquely interesting.

Ci sono storie che sono come pugni nello stomaco. Sono storie difficili da ascoltare e ancora più difficili da raccontare, ma una volta iniziate, è impossibile tornare indietro. Come succede in questo libro, dove si resta agganciati alle parole di Pablo Trincia, uno dei più abili storyteller di oggi, che qui apre scorci su vite distanti dalle nostre, ma solo per un caso fortuito. Ragazze e ragazzi di nazionalità, culture e fedi diverse, accomunati però da un unico e universale desiderio: poter vivere liberi e al sicuro.

The Scots-Irish were 40 percent of the Revolutionary War army; they included the pioneers Daniel Boone, Lewis and Clark, Davy Crockett, and Sam Houston; they were the writers Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain; and they have given America numerous great military leaders, including Stonewall Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Audie Murphy, and George S. Patton, as well as most of the soldiers of the Confederacy (only five percent of whom owned slaves, and who fought against what they viewed as an invading army).

Asian Americans represent the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States, yet few books capture how historical events, immigration experiences, cultural values, and unhelpful generational patterns contribute to this group's thoughts, attitudes, and actions in ways that impact relationships, well-being, and psychological health. In Patterns That Remain, Stacey Diane Arañez Litam empowers listeners to heal from diasporic wounds and become people, partners, and parents who embody abundance mentalities grounded in joy, balance, and gratitude.

In the wake of post-9/11 xenophobia, Obama's record-level deportations, Trump's immigration policies, and the 2020 uprisings for racial justice, the US remains entrenched in a circular discourse regarding migrant justice. As organizer Silky Shah argues in Unbuild Walls, we must move beyond building nicer cages or advocating for comprehensive immigration reform.

Today, it stands as a dystopian warning of what happens when nihilistic, radical ideology consumes the foundations of governance. In Failed State, Christopher Moritz dissects the unraveling of the Golden State with the precision of a lawyer, the depth of a historian, and the heartbreak of a California native son who has witnessed its collapse firsthand.
