Citizenship and Migration: Globalization and the Politics of Belonging

Book Description

Linking key debates about citizenship with discussions about migration and ethnicity, Citizenship and Migration examines the new challenges globalization is creating throughout the world. As boundaries are being blurred and nation-state powers eroded, millions of people have multiple citizenship and millions more lack citizenship of their country of residence. Increasing numbers of citizens do not "belong," thus undermining the national state as the central site of democracy. Particularly attentive to the impact of globalization on the conventional, legal definitions of citizenship, this study also recognizes that global integration has unleashed strong forces of multiculturalism.

Book Description

Veteran activist Mab Segrest takes readers along on her travels to view a world experiencing extraordinary change. As she moves from place to place, she speculates on the effects of globalization and urban development on individuals, examines the struggles for racial, economic, and sexual equality, and narrates her own history as a lesbian in the American South. From the principle that we all belong to the human community, Segrest uses her personal experience as a filter for larger political and cultural issues. Her writings bring together such groups as the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina, fledging gay rights activists in Zimbabwe, and resistance fighters in El Salvador. Segrest expertly plumbs her own personal experiences for organizing principles and maxims to combat racism, homophobia, sexism, and economic exploitation.

Book Description

In the past quarter century, Australia has become fully integrated into the globalizing world. Adjacent to the explosive economies of Southeast Asia, Australia has become even more connected to Anglo-American culture. Of greatest importance its population has grown increasingly diverse.
Anthony Moran traces the development of contemporary Australian society in the global age, focusing on four major themes: settler/indigenous relations; economics and culture since the 1980s and their impact on national identity; the effects of increasing diversity fostered by globalization; and the transformation of Australian social space wrought by globalization.
The book is ideal for students studying globalization, Australia and Southeast Asia's place in the wider world.
Books in this series look at how nations and regions across the world are navigating the tumultuous currents of globalization. Concise, descriptive, interdisciplinary, and theoretically informed, they serve as ideal introductions to the peoples and places of our increasingly globalized world.

Book Description

' Globalization and Belonging's headline message - that place matters, that locality remains vital to people, is arresting' - Frank Webster, Professor of Sociology, City University, London

Drawing on long-term empirical research into cultural practices, lifestyles and identities, Globalization and Belonging explores how far-reaching global changes are articulated locally.

The authors address key sociological issues of stratification as analysis alongside 'cultural' issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle. Their original argument:

" Shows how globalisation theory conceives of the 'local'

" Reveals that people have a sense of elective belonging based on where they choose to put down roots

" Suggests that the feel of a place is much more strongly influenced by the values and lifestyles of those migrating to it

" reinvigorates debates in urban and community studies by recovering the 'local' as an intrinsic aspect of globalisation

Book Description

At Home in the Chinese Diaspora explores issues of memory and how memories are deployed and negotiated to re-establish a sense of belonging. This volume breaks new ground in analyzing the relationships between migrants' adjustment, assimilation, and remembering home through the focal point of memories. Some chapters focus conceptually on memories as social expressions, a locus of place, cultural capital, and imagination. Others explore the tensions and conflicts in representing and renegotiating memories through the world of literature and cinema.

Product Description

Studies of globalization tend to foreground movements, mobilities or flows, while structures that remain stable and unchanged are often ignored. This volume foregrounds the latter. Discarding the term globalization for analytic purposes, this volume suggests that the significance of globalizing processes is best understood as an experiential, imaginary and epistemological dimension in people s lives. The authors explore how meaningful relations are made when the socially local is not necessarily the geographically near and how connections are made and unmade that reach beyond the specificity of time and place. Finally, this volume is about the ways knowledge and received wisdom are challenged and recast through processes of re-scaling, and how the understanding of locality and identity are transformed as a result.

Book Description

What happens to a sense of belonging when national and regional governments, religious organizations, community groups, political parties, and corporations become unstable and incoherent, as they have in these nationalist and postnationalist times? From a richly interdisciplinary perspective, the authors examine notions of citizenship and cultural hybridization, migration and other forms of mobility, displacements and ethnic cleansing, and the nature of national belonging in a world turning ever more fluid, aided by transnational flows of capital, information, people, and ideas.

Book Description

This book argues with facts and figures that a small group of New York banks, by means of term loans and working in close collaboration with their affiliated life insurance companies, exerted a strong influence over the supply of money and credit, and thus over the economy, throughout the years of the Depression. This study analyzes the growth of term loan under the depression, the concentration of the loans in a handful of powerful New York banks, the interplay between these banks and large life insurance companies in the capital market, and the resulting economic consequences. It also details the changes that took place in the leadership within the financial hierarchy during the depression: the J.D. Rockefeller interests replaced the Morgan-First National interests as the country's dominant financial power- a change that has escaped previous scholarly notice.
Originally used as a credit instrument to finance distressed corporations during the prolonged depression, term lending by commercial banks gained momentum in the mid-1930s and had, by 1940, accounted for 30-50% of the outstanding loans held by New York, and Chicago banks. Although a number of studies have attempted to explain the significance of term loans in corporate finance during this period, their treatment of the subject was relatively limited in scope due to absence of systematic data on loans provided by individual banks to their corporate borrowers. This study is the first to investigate all the loans reported by the borrowing corporations to the Securities Exchange Commission between 1935 and 1941 and also to make use of the abundant related materials that appear in a wide range of journals and public documents. Contrary to widely held belief, the banking reforms of the New Deal era failed to reduce Wall Street's influence over finance and industry.

Book Description

With the help of e-RPG: Building AS/400 Web Applications with RPG--a revolutionary new book from Midrange Computing--you can develop fully functional e-business solutions using nothing more than your existing knowledge of RPG and the Web facilities already included in OS/400. There's no need to learn Java, Visual Basic, Perl, or even Visual RPG! Step-by-step, author Bradley V. Stone shows you how to: Build Web applications using RPG, create Web pages in HTML, enhance the interactivity of your web pages with JavaScript (not to be confused with the Java programming language), set up your AS/400 as an HTTP server, use RPG to write Common Gateway Interface (CGI) programs, write an RPG program to output dynamic HTML to a browser, create Web-based reports from AS/400 data, read input entered on a web page into your RPG program, use ILE to enhance the functionality and maintainability of your web programs, debug an e-RPG program, use dynamic OPNQRYF sorts and selections for your web page, build a full-function e-commerce application in RPG, and more! e-RPG: Building AS/400 Web Applications with RPG comes with a CD-ROM that contains full source code for examples given in the book, including binder language source for service programs; /COPY prototype source; DDS for physical files, logical files, and external data structures; HTML source; HTML images; module source; and complete RPG source for all e-RPG programs.

Not what you think..........2007-06-21

This book is not as good as these reviews make it out to be. I have read it front to back and it is mostly tips and helpful hints that most gurus already know about AS/400 Web apps. Most of reviews for this product are loaded with 5-star narratives geared to sell books....not true buyers. Beware.

Not bad for first book on the subject.......2006-01-06

You have to give the author credit for being the first person to publish an accessible book on bringing the iSeries RPG to the web. It succeeds in bringing together the diverse threads required (HTTP Servers, RPG, CL, SQL, HTML, Javascript, iSeries Security etc) to build RPG-based web pages. However this book is not without its faults.

The overview of HTML, and Javascript is good, but there are dozens of better sources on the web. The entire discussion of the HTTP server is out of date and dangerously misleading if you are unclear on the recent developments of iSeries HTTP servers. This is not the author's fault, but the chapter should be re-written or removed. In the accompanying code, the author uses his own wrappers over IBM API's which are similar to industry standard CGIDEV2, but not compatible. His method also encourages the deprecated practice of embedding static HTML into RPG code. Also the author's shameless self-promotion is an embarrassment to the industry (you don't have to look far for examples)

Before buying the book again, I would do a better web search because most of the material covered in this book is available elsewhere and often in better depth, unfortunately scattered on different web sites. However if you feel you must own a glossy covered book on iSeries RPG web development there are not many other choices.

g the iSeries RPG to the web.

Did the author write all these positive reviews?.......2002-12-08

I had great hope for what what I could learn from this book. But it's mostly on and on about little useful how to stuff. At COMMON recently I strolled past the (new publisher cause they said the original went Bankrupt) publisher's booth and they were joking about writing online reviews and testimonials! They must not have known I was there. I looked over his new book hoping it would address the important stuff but it's wasn't much better and it's too expensive to make this mistake again.
If it's the boss's money what the heck. If it's your money then keep looking!

This is a must have for long time RPG programmers.......2002-10-23

I have 2 words for you YEA ! and THANKS !. You have renewed my faith in the AS/400. I have been a RPG programmer since 1985. Over the years I have been fearful that PC's and the Web would take over. I am so glad to see that is not the case. I have been through two of your books, e-RPG building AS/400 Web Applications with RPG and Stone on CGIDEV2. They have been very helpful in allowing me to keep my career heading in the right direction. (no more night sweats about my nephews learning HTML and taking over my job)

Great Books - E-RPG and E-RPGv2........2002-10-21

If you are a CGI programmer or just want to learn about it, then these books are just the ticket. Easy to understand and source code is included. Web programming utilizes many AS/400 APIs, some of which are cumbersome to use, but Brad gives you wrappers and service programs which make using them a breeze. I would suggest buying both books as v2 continues where the first book ends.
