This book proposes a new encompassing theoretical framework for the study of immigration. Ewa Morawska provides a systematic comparative examination of the experience of turn-of-the-twentieth-century and present-day immigrants, and of eight contemporary immigrant groups in the United States. Within this interpretative framework, Morawska examines four major issues informing current sociological studies of immigration: mechanisms and effects of international migration, processes of immigrants' assimilation and transnational engagements, and the adaptation patterns of the second generation. This study focuses on the interactive framework in which immigrants, responding to circumstances not of their choosing, nonetheless make history. Though the book is shaped by an underlying theoretical framework, the key theoretical issues are explored through a comparison of eight different groups, providing rich, empirical, grounded material. As the groups range widely in origins and immigrant experiences, they shed light on one of the salient aspects of the contemporary immigrant phenomenon, namely its diversity. The concluding chapter offers a thoughtful review of the main agendas of immigration research in different regions of the world followed by the author's suggestions regarding better-informed cross-national/regional studies in this field.

Kinder mit spezifischen Sprachentwicklungsstoerungen (SSES) erlernen haufig nicht in einer normalen Qualitat und Zeit das Lesen und Schreiben. Eine Ursache fur den gestoerten Schriftspracherwerb bei Kindern mit SSES wird in vorschulisch ungenugend entwickelten metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten vermutet. In diesem Buch wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob ein Zusammenhang zwischen geringem Wortschatzumfang, eingeschrankten metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten und gestoertem Erwerb der Schriftsprache besteht. Dazu werden aktuell vorliegende Erkenntnisse zum Wortschatzerwerb und zur Entwicklung metaphonologischer Fahigkeiten aufgezeigt. Insbesondere Zusammenhange zwischen Wortform und metaphonologischen Fahigkeiten sowie zum Schriftspracherwerb bei spezifisch sprachentwicklungsgestoerten und sprachnormalen Kindern finden Beachtung. Ferner wird eine empirische Untersuchung dargestellt, an der insgesamt 98 (Vor)Schulkinder teilnahmen. An zwei Testzeitpunkten konnten die zur Hypothesenabklarung notwendigen Daten gewonnen werden. Aus den Erkenntnissen lassen sich plassen sich padagogische Implikationen zur Pravention von Schriftspracherwerbsstoerungen sowie Forschungsdesiderate ableiten.

Ernst Hadermann gehoerte als kriegsgefangener Wehrmachtsoffizier zu den fuhrenden Persoenlichkeiten des 1943 in der Sowjetunion gegrundeten Nationalkomitees "Freies Deutschland". Sein Aufruf zur Beendigung des Krieges und zum Sturz des Hitlerregimes im Mai 1942 machte ihn popular. Weniger bekannt wurde der charismatische Padagoge Hadermann, dessen Humanismus Spuren hinterliess. Sie reichen vom Kasseler Wilhelmsgymnasium uber die antifaschistische Aufklarungsarbeit unter deutschen Kriegsgefangenen bis in die Bildungsentwicklung der SBZ und fruhen DDR, an deren ideeller Vorbereitung er massgeblich beteiligt war. Seine Biographie zeigt die Revision traditioneller bildungsburgerlicher Identitat ebenso wie die Gefahrdung seines Bildungsanspruchs unter der Realitat des Kalten Krieges.

In June of 2002, a ceremony begins in a village in western Kenya. Hundreds of Maasai surround an American diplomat to bestow a gift on the American people. The gift is as unsought and unexpected as it is extraordinary. A mere nine months have passed since the September 11 attacks, and hearts are raw. Tears flow freely as these legendary warriors offer their gift to a grieving people half a world away. Word of the gift will travel news wires around the globe. Many will be profoundly touched, but for Americans, this selfless gesture will have deeper meaning still. For a heartsick nation, the gift of fourteen cows emerges from the choking dust and darkness as a soft light of hopeand friendship. Master storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy hits all the right notes in this story of generosity that crosses boundaries, nations, and cultures.

A powerful indictment of the notion of hereditary intelligence, A Terrible Thing to Waste shows how environmental racism drives the black-white IQ gap and explains what can be done to remedy its toxic effects on marginalized communities. The 1994 publication of the The Bell Curve and its controversial thesis catapulted the topic of genetic racial differences in IQ to the forefront of renewed and heated debate. Now, in A Terrible Thing to Waste, award-winning science writer Harriet A. Washington adds her incisive analysis to the fray. She takes apart the spurious notion of intelligence as an inherited trait, pointing instead to environmental racism -- a confluence of institutional factors that relegate marginalized communities to living and working near sites of toxic waste, pollution, and urban decay -- as the prime cause of the reported black-white IQ gap. Investigating the deleterious heavy metals, neurotoxins, deficient prenatal care, bad nutrition, and pathogens as the main factors influencing intelligence, Washington explains why certain communities are so disproportionally affected and what can be done to remedy the problem. Featuring extensive scientific research and Washington's sharp, lively reporting, A Terrible Thing to Waste is sure to outrage, transform the conversation and inspire debate.

Sowohl Friedrich der Grosse als auch Maria Theresia setzten die staatliche Publizistik im Siebenjahrigen Krieg gezielt ein, um ihre Politik einer breiten, interessierten OEffentlichkeit plausibel zu machen. Anhand zahlreicher Flugschriften und umfangreichem Archivmaterial werden die jeweiligen Ziele, Inhalte und Methoden der politischen und militarischen Propaganda miteinander verglichen, wobei auch die Rezipientenebene miteinbezogen wird. Letztlich erwies sich die preussische Seite als uberlegen, da der Koenig die Klaviatur der Propaganda virtuos beherrschte und das Heft des Handelns jederzeit in der Hand behielt, wahrend der Wiener Hof lediglich reagierte, die Befindlichkeiten weiter Kreise ignorierte und seine Defizite durch nicht mehr zeitgemasse Restriktionen zu kompensieren versuchte.
