Mexicans, Haitians, Salvadorans, Cubans, Dominicans, West
Indians, and Puerto Ricans, among other groups, have all sought to
migrate to areas with more economic activity or less political
repression than their native countries. Upon arrival in a new
country, they face such problems as impersonal bureaucracies,
racial prejudice, and job discrimination. "The Caribbean Exodus" is
a welcome study of the historical, cultural, geographic, and
economic forces behind these migrations. Examining many regions of
the Caribbean, the contributors compare similarities and
differences of the migrant experiences, both in their original
countries and upon reaching their destinations. This timely book is
an essential tool for understanding the complexities of the
Caribbean migration and for developing informed and judicious
policy.
With groundbreaking interviews, behind-the-scenes reporting, and
never-before-seen photos, All the President's Women records 43 new
allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump. During
his 2016 presidential run, the revelation of the Access Hollywood
tape and subsequent allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against
Donald Trump looked like they might doom his candidacy. Trump
survived, and the first two years of the real estate scion's
presidency were marked not by controversy over his behavior around
women but by the Mueller investigation. So far, Trump has dodged
the #MeToo bullet that has taken down so many once-powerful men.
But despite the decades of tabloid fascination with his personal
life, the story of Trump's relationship with women has never been
fully told. Considering his bully pulpit in the White House, the
reckoning is overdue. All the President's Women offers the most
detailed account yet of Trump's history with women, dating back to
his childhood and high school days through his rise in real estate,
reality TV, and politics. This book will show that Trump's behavior
goes far beyond occasional locker-room talk and unwanted advances.
Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy detail more than a dozen new
allegations against Trump, including a disturbing attack on a woman
at Mar-a-Lago, an incident at a private Manhattan sex club
involving a teenage girl, as well as Trump's behavior at fashion
shows and beauty pageants--events that gave the future president a
hunting ground to harass young women. Veteran journalists Levine
and El-Faizy tell the story of Trump from the point of view of the
women in his orbit--wives, mistresses, playmates, and those whom
the president has dated, kissed, groped, or lusted after.

Based on groundbreaking original reporting, an extensive new look
at Donald Trump's relationships with women, revealing new
accusations of sexual misconduct, exploring the roots of his
