In New York City during the winter of 1981, statistically one of the most violent years in the city's history, an immigrant and his family try to expand their business and capitalize on opportunities as the rampant violence, decay, and corruption of the day drag them in and threaten to destroy all they have built.
(Winner of 3 National Board Of Review awards: Best Film, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress. Also won the New York Film Critics award for best film.)
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.

Multiculturalism, Social Justice, and the Community: Contemporary
Readings provides students with an introduction to the flawed
nature of definitions of race and ethnicity, and how these
definitions contribute to disparate treatment, especially in the
criminal justice system. The anthology examines majority group
discrimination and bias and their impact on minority groups. It
also provides policy recommendations designed to improve
police-minority relationships. Unit I introduces the concept of
multiculturalism and features articles that explore why minority
groups are disproportionately overrepresented in the justice system
and why it's imperative for criminological theories to not only
examine the social status of justice-involved minorities but also
the ways in which they are targeted and treated by mainstream
society. In Unit II, the readings examine social justice issues
through the intersectional lenses of class, race, gender identity,
and sexual orientation. In Unit III, students explore how
communities have shifted, changed, and, in some cases, reinforced
segregation because of income and class status. Each unit features
an engaging introduction, summary, and student study questions.
Designed to address timely topics within our global society,
Multiculturalism, Social Justice, and the Community is an excellent
resource for courses and programs in social and criminal justice.
