This title combines original research, case studies, and synoptic
analysis to cover highly charged topics in America today. The
volume is divided into two sections; the first section combines
immigration and the borderlands, which covers immigration
enforcement, border security and trade, illegal crossings at the
border, gaps in securing the borderlands, globalization and
transnational crime, and reassessment of border theory. Under the
second section, ‘Resilient Homeland,’ the reader can find
information on topics such as: a profile of the resilient citizen,
lessons learned from the response to the pandemic, disaster
recovery and preparedness, mistrust of public health as a threat to
resilience, community disaster recovery, and top cybersecurity
concerns.
Despite their growing presence, research on Caribbean and,
especially, African immigrants has been scant. The scarcity of
writings on these 'other' African Americans contributes to the
invisibility of these groups. The objective of this project is to
broaden our understanding of these other African Americans. A focus
on intra-racial dynamics among African Americans is important
because of the ever-growing diversity of America's black
population. The Other African Americans is an edited volume of
original research that provides historical and contemporary
information on African and Caribbean individuals and families. Each
chapter addresses a particular topical area covering the most
salient issues facing these immigrants to the U.S. today.

Measurement of Community Health examines the underlying assumptions
of, and the process of, constructing a social health index at the
community level. Yoku Shaw-Taylor reviews the assumptions and
thinking that informs the concepts of personal health and community
social health to provide a sociologic framework of what social
health means at the community level and how social health at the
individual level differs from it. The author also explores and
examines the process of obtaining this index accurately using data
from each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
Shaw-Taylor's analysis of the adequacy and power of the index
suggests that to determine community social health, monitoring the
set of socioeconomic indicators used in his research (poverty rate
and crime rate) is advisable. Most importantly, the results of this
study suggest a reliable method of targeting federal funds or block
grants for economic opportunity to states.
Immigration reform and border security are highly charged topics in
America today. Immigration, Assimilation, and Border Security
examines the history of immigration along with the immigration
debate of today. This book shows how attitudes about immigration
have shifted and the author examines recent developments in
immigration policy and border security. This second edition is an
update of the intersection of border security, immigration, and
assimilation in the U.S.A. In addition to the history of
immigration and custom services and shifts in attitudes about
immigration, this edition provides new information about the
operations of the Department of Homeland Security to secure the
border. A new chapter examines developments in immigration policy
relating to the border wall, family separation, unaccompanied
immigrant minors and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or
DACA. The book includes real-life stories of difficult incidents
that arise due to the complicated relationship between immigration
and border security. The authors review prospects for comprehensive
immigration policy and border security policy. Â
