We are all just "cells and bodies," after all. And that is a connection the Ohio Migration Anthology, in all of its volumes, is trying to highlight. The stories, artwork, poems, and interviews in Volume Two, "(Everything Is) Cells and Bodies," grapple with belonging, identity, and dignity-from Maya McOmie and Betsy Rose Uvagi's poetry, to Saidu Sow and Mory Keita's interviews about life after deportation, to Varsha Prabu's "Immigrant of Extraordinary Ability" and Gloria Kellon's narrative quilts." --Amazon.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2370112</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2370112</guid><category><![CDATA[PAPERBACK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2370112218</comments><format>PAPERBACK</format><subtitle>Ohio Migration Anthology.

The subsequent quarter-century has seen less positive performance along a number of these dimensions. This period has instead been marked by rapid globalization of economic activity that has brought increased insecurity to workers. The contributors to this volume, prominent scholars from the United States, Europe, and Japan, distinguish four explanations for this historic shift. These include 1) rapid development of new technologies ; 2) global competition for both business and labor ; 3) deregulation of industry with more reliance on markets ; and 4) increased immigration of workers, especially unskilled workers, from developing countries. In addition to analyzing the causes of these trends, the contributors also investigate important consequences, ranging from changes in collective bargaining and employment relations to family formation decisions and incarceration policy"--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1944865</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1944865</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1944865218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780521195416/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immigration Nation]]></title><description><![CDATA[Explores the history of immigration in the United States, along with immigration law and statistics through the perspectives of immigrants, citizens, policy makers, and border agents. For more than a century, an immigrant from France has stood vigil in the New York Harbor. At 350 feet tall, with a majestic spiked crown upon her head, a tablet of laws clutched in one hand and a torch held aloft in the other, the lady is hard to miss. She cries out to the world, Give me your tired, your poor…I lift my lamp beside the golden door! Millions of immigrants have answered the Statue of Liberty’s call, passing over, under, or through the Golden Door to become Americans. However, on the eve of its 250th birthday, the United States is in the middle of an identity crisis. Should this land of immigrants open the door open to outsiders, people hungry for opportunity and desperate for freedom? Or should the country shut the golden door, barring entry to all but a select few? And what does it mean to be an American? How citizens answer these questions in the early twenty-first century will determine the future of America’s identity. Immigration Nation includes critical-thinking activities and research exercises to encourage readers to dive deep into the topic and consider viewpoints from many different identities. Interesting facts, links to online primary sources and other supplemental material, and essential questions take readers on an exploration of the past, present, and future of immigration.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2239044</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2239044</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cummings, Judy Dodge]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2239044218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The American Identity in the Twenty-first Century</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781619307636/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Greek Tragedy]]></title><description><![CDATA["Five Days at Memorial meets Into the Raging Sea with this harrowing and moving true story of a devastating shipwreck during the biggest refugee crisis since World War II. On October 28, 2015, a boat meant for only a few dozen passengers capsized off the coast of the Greek island of Lesvos. Hundreds of refugees, forced in desperation onto the overloaded boat manned by armed smugglers, were tossed into a roiling sea. The resulting loss of life, the largest in a single day during the crisis in the Aegean, shocked the world. Now, after nearly a decade of research, interviews, and investigation, reporter Jeanne Carstensen has captured every detail of the dramatic twenty-four hours. This includes the recollections of the refugees' lives before they left their homes and a full account of the courageous rescue efforts of the Greek islanders and volunteers rushing to help, even as their government and the EU failed to act. In this remarkable narrative feat, Carstensen brilliantly showcases the extraordinary heroism of ordinary people in extreme circumstances. In a world where forced migration is on the rise, A Greek Tragedy challenges us to confront our collective humanity. It's an unforgettable testament of our times and a compassionate depiction of the lengths to which a person will go to save another human being."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2406787</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2406787</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carstensen, Jeanne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2406787218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>One Day, A Deadly Shipwreck, and the Human Cost of the Refugee Crisis</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668083147/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Good Provider Is One Who Leaves]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Jason DeParle moved in with Tita Comodas in the Manila slums thirty years ago, he didn't expect to make a lifelong friend. Nor did he expect to spend decades reporting on her family--husband, children, and siblings--as they came to embody the stunning rise of global migration. In A Good Provider Is One Who Leaves, DeParle paints an intimate portrait of an unforgettable family across three generations, as migration reorders economics, politics, and culture across the world. At the heart of the story is Rosalie, Tita's middle child, who escapes poverty by becoming a nurse, and lands jobs in Jeddah, Abu Dhabi and, finally, Texas--joining the record forty-four million immigrants in the United States. Migration touches every aspect of global life. It pumps billions in remittances into poor villages, fuels Western populism, powers Silicon Valley, sustains American health care, and brings one hundred languages to the Des Moines public schools. One in four children in the United States is an immigrant or the child of one. With no issue in American life so polarizing, DeParle expertly weaves between the personal and panoramic perspectives. Reunited with their children after years apart, Rosalie and her husband struggle to be parents, as their children try to find their place in a place they don't know. Ordinary and extraordinary at once, their journey is a twenty-first-century classic, rendered in gripping detail"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2246440</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2246440</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[DeParle, Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2246440218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>One Family and Migration in the 21st Century</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780670785926/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Unsettling of Europe]]></title><description><![CDATA["Migration is perhaps the most pressing issue of our time, and it has completely decentered European politics in recent years. But as we consider the current refugee crisis, acclaimed historian Peter Gatrell reminds us that the history of Europe has always been one of people on the move. The end of World War II left Europe in a state of confusion with many Europeans virtually stateless. Later, as former colonial states gained national independence, colonists and their supporters migrated to often-unwelcoming metropoles. The collapse of communism in 1989 marked another fundamental turning point. Gatrell places migration at the center of post-war European history, and the aspirations of migrants themselves at the center of the story of migration. This is an urgent history that will reshape our understanding of modern Europe"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2246470</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2246470</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gatrell, Peter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2246470218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Migration Reshaped A Continent</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780465093618/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patriot Number One]]></title><description><![CDATA[In 2014, in a snow-covered house in Flushing, Queens, a village revolutionary from Southern China considered his options. Zhuang Liehong was the son of a fisherman, the former owner of a small tea shop, and the spark that had sent his village into an uproar - pitting residents against a corrupt local government. Instead, sensing an impending crackdown, Zhuang and his wife, Little Yan, left their infant son with relatives and traveled to America. With few contacts and only a shaky grasp of English, they had to start from scratch. Hilgers follows this dauntless family through a world hidden in plain sight: a byzantine network of employment agencies and language schools, of underground asylum brokers and illegal dormitories that Flushing's Chinese community relies on for survival. With a novelist's eye for character and detail, Hilgers captures the joys and indignities of building a life in a new country and the stubborn allure of the American dream. -- adapted from Page [2] of jacket.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2214511</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2214511</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hilgers, Lauren]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2214511218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>American Dreams in Chinatown</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780451496133/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stranger]]></title><description><![CDATA[Jorge Ramos, an Emmy award-winning journalist, Univision's longtime anchorman and widely considered the "voice of the voiceless" within the Latino community, was forcefully removed from an Iowa press conference in 2015 by then-candidate Donald Trump after trying to ask about his plans on immigration.  In this personal manifesto, Ramos sets out to examine what it means to be a Latino immigrant, or just an immigrant, in present-day America.
