Under the hot lights at Philly's police headquarters, Darlene Dalton, an ingenue paralegal, is being interrogated for the murder of David L. Nusbaum, the attorney for whom she'd toiled . . . and lusted. Complicating matters are the facts that Nusbaum was married and White, while Darlene is African American and afflicted. Just two months earlier, the fresh-faced, eager young woman successfully interviewed for a paralegal job at Nusbaum's down-at-the-heels solo law practice. So how did such a promising start end so terribly? Did Darlene kill David? And if so, why? And now, will she take an even greater fall for her many concealed transgressions? . . . and also, for his? . . . A tale of power and submission; fear and facades; sadness and self-loathing. Rich in character and setting, The Secrets of Darlene Dalton is a not-so-typical legal whodunit sure to challenge and thrill.

This collection gives voice to the peoples and groups impacted by globalization as they seek to negotiate their identities, language use, and territorial boundaries within a larger global context. Rather than viewing globalization as one-dimensional (i.e., cultural, economic, or political), the approaches taken by the authors reflect a nuanced and multifaceted discussion of globalization that integrates all three perspectives. They explore identity, boundaries, language use, and other issues in the context of specific temporal and spatial contexts.

"Reimagining the Immigrant" examines integrative practices by residents towards Mexican immigrants in a small farm town in California. Bolstered by ethnographic detail, Haley describes the complex interaction between the farm labor market, migration, and settlement alternatives available to farm workers. This groundbreaking book sheds light on the coexisting practices of discrimination and accommodation and the ways in which immigrants and established residents reimagine ethnic identity in a more positive light.
