Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) exert a great
influence on global activities. ITC has affected the structure of
governments, economies, cultures, and even human health. Another
area in which ICT has had a tremendous impact is within the
developing world and nations where women face repression and fewer
opportunities. Overcoming Gender Inequalities through Technology
Integration is a critical source for understanding the role of
technology adoption within female empowerment and equality in
developing nations and beyond. This publication examines the
strategies applicable to the use of technology in the purist of
societal recognition of women in addition to the trajectory and
visibility of women in developing as well as developed countries in
which they have access to ICTs. This book is an essential reference
source for students and teachers of gender studies or information
technology, women's advocacy groups, policy makers, NGOs, and
technology developers.
In the early 21st-century, companies pursue their goals with little
regard for national borders. However, it remains true that business
activity is regulated to a significant extent by each national
jurisdiction. This is particularly true of mergers; as anyone knows
who has ever been involved in a transnational merger in multiple
jurisdictions, the knottiest problems and issues arise from
variations in national competition and merger laws. This text
offers an in-depth proposal for an international merger control
regime that is firmly grounded in and supported by a framework of
economic and legal theory. It arrives at its conclusions along
three major avenues: a study of the concepts of global public good
and consumer welfare that underlie the progress of globalization;
detailed analyses of the two most important and highly developed
merger law systems, those of the European Union and the United
States; and a systematic and comprehensive review of the major
existing proposals, both institutional and scholarly, for an
international merger control regime. A special chapter is devoted
to the complex custodial role of the World Trade Organization, both
in its present activity and as it is envisioned in the various
proposals.
This work brings together articles and papers by union leaders,
activists, social scientists, and educators to provide an overview
of the field of worker education. Along with presenting the major
historical models of worker education, the book addresses the
present issues confronting worker educators today. The book's final
sections present alternative models of worker education that
illustrate a variety of approaches currently being employed. All
selections found in this volume represent original contributions
not published elsewhere. The first section of the book considers
the field of worker education from four levels of social
determinism: institutional, ideological, pedagogical, and personal.
The second part focuses on three historical stages of worker
education. The articles cover the early radical phase of worker
education, the period of union-university cooperation, and the
current, dominant union-sponsored model of worker education. The
third section considers issues which have risen from worker
education's history, institutional configurations, and worker
education's place in modern American society. The final section of
the book presents evaluations of working alternatives to the
dominant models of worker education. The authors not only discuss
specific programs and institutions, but they do so in the context
of the historical models outlined in the first two sections and the
issues raised in Part 3. This book will be of value to students of
the social science and education disciplines, adult and labor
educators, trade unionists, and others interested in this
burgeoning field.
The only book of its kind in the field of Afro-American labor
studies, this introductory reference surveys the diverse field of
Afro-American labor literature from the end of the Civil War to the
present. Over ninety percent of the 583 entries have been
annotated. Much of the material has been cross-indexed and
categorized according to its central focus and approach to the
study of Black labor. The bibliography derives its material
primarily from books, pamphlets, government documents,
dissertations, and privately funded or sponsored studies. Because
of the diverse methodological and philosophical approaches to the
topic of Black labor, this volume encompasses a variety of related
topics, such as employment, legal studies, trade unions, and
women.
In this powerful new work, Marable, Ness, and Wilson maintain that
contrary to the popular hubris about equality churned out by the
capitalist class, race is entrenched and more divisive than any
time since the Civil Rights Movement. Race and Labor Matters in the
New U.S. Economy asserts that all advances in American race
relations have only evolved through conflict and collective
struggle. The foundation of the class divide in the United States
remains, while racial and ethnic segregation, privilege, and
domination, and the institution of neoliberalism have become a
detriment to all workers.remains, while racial and ethnic
