Debate over the meaning and purpose of the grand experiment called
the United States has existed since its inception. Alexander
Hamilton and James Madison worked closely together to achieve the
ratification of the Constitution, which both considered essential
for the survival of the United States. However, within just a few
years of the Constitution's ratification, they became bitter
political enemies as the pair disagreed about what the United
States should be like under the new Constitution, specifically how
to interpret the Constitution they both worked to create and
support. Defining the Republic: Early Conflicts over the
Constitution documents, through presentation of their own words,
that these two essential early Americans simply had different
expectations all along. Expectations that went unexamined during
the frenetic times in which the Constitution was written, debated,
and ratified. It is to their differences that Americans today can
look in order to better understand the history of the United
States, as well as current debates over politics and life in
general in the country Hamilton and Madison helped to create.

This is the first comprehensive text to critically analyze the
current research and best practices for working with children,
adolescents, and adults involved in sex trafficking and commercial
sexual exploitation (CSE). With a unique, research-based focus on
practice, the book synthesizes the key areas related to working
with victims of sex trafficking/ CSE including prevention,
identification, practice techniques, and program design as well as
suggested interagency, criminal justice, and legislative responses.
Best practices are examined through an intersectional,
trauma-informed lens that adheres to principles of cultural
competency. Highlights include: Integrates a trauma informed lens
in practice, program design, and interagency responses. Uses an
intersectional approach to examine identity-based oppression such
as race, class, sex, LGBTQ identities, age, immigrant status, and
intellectual disabilities. Highlights the importance of cultural
competency in practice and program design, prevention and outreach
efforts, and interagency and criminal justice system responses.
Reviews the different types of sex trafficking and CSE, the
physiological and psychological effects, various risk factors, and
the distinct needs of survivors to encourage practitioners to
tailor interventions to the specific needs of each client. Examines
the role of social workers and practitioners in interagency,
legislative, and criminal justice responses to sex trafficking.
Takes a broad societal perspective by examining the role of
macro-level risk factors facilitating sex trafficking
victimization. The book analyzes the commonly reported indicators
of sex trafficking/CSE, how to conduct a screening with potential
victims, and direct practice techniques with various populations
including evidence-based trauma treatments. Other chapters guide
the reader in implementing trauma-informed programming in a variety
of organizational settings, advocating for sex trafficking and CSE
survivors within the criminal justice system, and implementing
effective prevention and outreach programs in schools and community
organizations. Intended as a text for upper division courses on sex
or human trafficking, interventions with women, trauma
interventions, violence against women, or gender and crime taught
in social work, psychology, counseling, and criminal justice, this
book is also an ideal resource for practitioners working with
victims of sex trafficking and CSE in a variety of settings
including child protective services, the criminal justice system,
healthcare, schools, and more.
Feminist Advocacy: Gendered Organizations in Community-based
Responses to Domestic Violence examines victim advocacy through a
gendered organizations perspective. This monograph draws from
in-depth interviews with twenty-six domestic violence victim
advocates to examine their experiences with gendered policies and
practices in the justice system, child protective services, and
shelters. Andrea J. Nichols explores justice system interventions
related to pro-arrest, dual arrest, no-drop prosecution, protective
orders, and the actions of police and judges. In addition, she
examines policies and practices related to child protective
services that negatively affect battered women, such as charges for
failure to protect and lost custody. Nichols also explores the most
contentiously debated shelter policies, including curfew,
confidentiality, substance abuse, entrance requirements, admitting
adolescent boys, and mandatory classes. Drawing from advocates'
narratives of their experiences, Feminist Advocacy bears
significant implications for policy and practice in community-based
responses to domestic violence. This book will prove especially
valuable to anyone who studies or works in the fields of social
work, human services, criminal justice, or criminology, including
advocates, practitioners, students, academic researchers, and those
interested in intimate partner violence.

Transatlantic Mysteries presents a comparative study that brings
together authors Paco Ignacio Taibo II and Manuel Vazquez Montalban
-from two specific political contexts: post-1968 Mexico and
post-Franco Spain- who both work in one specific genre-"noir"
detective fiction. In this so called age of globalization, Spain
and Mexico have witnessed an explosion in the production of "noir"
detective fiction which these authors choose purposefully in order
to infiltrate the market with formulaic "popular" literature while
simultaneously critiquing the effects of the neoliberal strategies
embraced by their countries. By locating themselves at the
crossroads where literature meets the market, they not only
underscore the effects of capital on literary and cultural
production but also explore the possibility for their writing to
resist the influences of capital and question the role of an
intellectual in an era of globalization. At the core of their
writing Taibo and Vazquez Montalban examine the revolutionary
possibilities of literature and popular culture to offer a new kind
of Marxist project that revitalizes the Left by redefining the role
of socially engaged literature in a globalized landscape.
In this book, Dr. Anthony Nicholls uses a series of in-depth
interviews to investigate how young Jews talk about their
Jewishness, Britishness, and masculinity. From his analysis,
he argues that Jewishness is constructed between adherence to
halachic requirement on one hand, and Jewishness experienced
as cultural affinity to history, family, and tradition
without recourse to halacha on the other hand. He further
argues that Britishness is experienced between varying
degrees of nationalistic localism against cosmopolitan liberalism
played out against a backdrop of Britain contrasted with the
rest of the world, and also London against the rest of
Britain. Nicholls rejects the view that masculinity
is constructed in the inherently unstable terms of
physicality against intellectualism. Instead, he argues that
it is better considered as lying in a range
between competitive hegemonic masculinity and a cooperative
model with which physicality and intellectualism combine to
produce a more stable and emotionally satisfying mode of
living.
The Anthropocene is the human-dominated modern era that has
accelerated social, environmental and climate change across the
world in the last few decades. This open access book examines the
challenges the Anthropocene presents to the sustainable management
of deltas, both the many threats as well as the opportunities. In
the world's deltas the Anthropocene is manifest in major land use
change, the damming of rivers, the engineering of coasts and the
growth of some of the world's largest megacities; deltas are home
to one in twelve of all people in the world. The book explores
bio-physical and social dynamics and makes clear adaptation choices
and trade-offs that underpin policy and governance processes,
including visionary delta management plans. It details new analysis
to illustrate these challenges, based on three significant and
contrasting deltas: the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Mahanadi and
Volta. This multi-disciplinary, policy-orientated volume is
strongly aligned to the United Nation's Sustainable Development
Goals as delta populations often experience extremes of poverty,
gender and structural inequality, variable levels of health and
well-being, while being vulnerable to extreme and systematic
climate change.
On May 17, 2010, four undocumented students occupied the Arizona
office of Senator John McCain. Across the country a flurry of
occupations, hunger strikes, demonstrations, and marches followed,
calling for support of the DREAM Act that would allow these young
people the legal right to stay in the United States. The highly
public, confrontational nature of these actions marked a sharp
departure from more subdued, anonymous forms of activism of years
past.
"The DREAMers" provides the first investigation of the youth
movement that has transformed the national immigration debate, from
its start in the early 2000s through the present day. Walter
Nicholls draws on interviews, news stories, and firsthand
encounters with activists to highlight the strategies and claims
that have created this now-powerful voice in American politics.
Facing high levels of anti-immigrant sentiment across the country,
undocumented youths sought to increase support for their cause and
change the terms of debate by arguing for their unique position--as
culturally integrated, long term residents and most importantly as
"American" youth sharing in core American values.
Since 2010 undocumented activists have increasingly claimed their
own space in the public sphere, asserting a right to recognition--a
right to have rights. Ultimately, through the story of the
undocumented youth movement, "The DREAMers" shows how a stigmatized
group--whether immigrants or others--can gain a powerful voice in
American political debate.
This book answers key questions about environment, people and their
shared future in deltas. It develops a systematic and holistic
approach for policy-orientated analysis for the future of these
regions. It does so by focusing on ecosystem services in the
world's largest, most populous and most iconic delta region, that
of the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh. The book covers the
conceptual basis, research approaches and challenges, while also
providing a methodology for integration across multiple
disciplines, offering a potential prototype for assessments of
deltas worldwide. Ecosystem Services for Well-Being in Deltas
analyses changing ecosystem services in deltas; the health and
well-being of people reliant on them; the continued central role of
agriculture and fishing; and the implications of aquaculture in
such environments.The analysis is brought together in an integrated
and accessible way to examine the future of the Ganges Brahmaputra
delta based on a near decade of research by a team of the world's
leading scientists on deltas and their human and environmental
dimensions. This book is essential reading for students and
academics within the fields of Environmental Geography, Sustainable
Development and Environmental Policy focused on solving the world's
most critical challenges of balancing humans with their
environments. This book is licensed under a Creative Commons

ministry, detailing his contributions to the trajectory of the
Reformed tradition and his influence on American evangelicalism.
In the months leading up to the 2016 presidential election, liberal
outcry over ethnonationalist views promoted a vision of America as
a nation of immigrants. Given the pervasiveness of this rhetoric,
it can be easy to overlook the fact that the immigrant rights
movement began in the US relatively recently. This book tells the
story of its grassroots origins, through its meteoric rise to the
national stage. Starting in the 1990s, the immigrant rights
movement slowly cohered over the demand for comprehensive federal
reform of immigration policy. Activists called for a new framework
of citizenship, arguing that immigrants deserved legal status based
on their strong affiliation with American values. During the Obama
administration, leaders were granted unprecedented political access
and millions of dollars in support. The national spotlight,
however, came with unforeseen pressures-growing inequalities
between factions and restrictions on challenging mainstream views.
Such tradeoffs eventually shattered the united front. The Immigrant
Rights Movement tells the story of a vibrant movement to change the
meaning of national citizenship, that ultimately became enmeshed in
the system that it sought to transform.
