Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Immigration, Diversity and Student Journeys to Higher Education presents an in-depth understanding of how immigrant students at a major public research university balanced keeping their family cultures alive and learning U.S. culture to get to college. A revitalized anthropological understanding of acculturation provides the theoretical framework for the book. The text builds its analysis using extensive quotes from the 160 immigrant students who participated in the 21 focus groups that form the core of this study. The students families come from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe and Latin America, and reflect a wide diversity of experiences and insights into how these students successfully pursued higher education. A key theme of the book is the 'immigrant bargain,' where students repay their parents hard work and migration sacrifices by excelling in school. A large majority of the parents made clear that a major motivation for immigrating was so their children could have better educational opportunities; these parents had the original dreams for their children. Immigration, Diversity and Student Journeys to Higher Education examines the similarities and differences across this diverse group of students, ending with a series of recommendations about how to improve acculturation research and how to facilitate immigrant students journeys to educational success.

Author Thomas A. Howe argues that Critical Realism's claims and commitments pose a serious threat to Christian theology and hermeneutics. In recent years, the movement has made significant inroads in the interpretation of Scripture; influential Christian authors argue for Critical Realism as an essential aspect of their hermeneutic methodology; and evangelical scholars claim it has great potential for biblical studies. But as Howe shows, Critical Realism is incompatible with Christian doctrine.By surveying some of the Christian proponents of Critical Realism, this book shows how it conflicts with and subverts orthodox Christian theology and hermeneutics. It also shows how Critical Realism undermines Christian apologetics by blunting the possibility of deciding between the claims of conflicting and contradictory theologies and beliefs. This book is an effort to alert Christian authors to the dangers of adopting Critical Realism as a part of a Christian worldview. It will be of interest to all those seeking to understand the impact of Critical Realism on Christian theology and hermeneutics. Englisch.

Yet, the nature and the meaning of his legacy will be determined by people who observe, record, and study his leadership. Under the tense and uncertain conditions of this regime, segments of society in Turkey are still actively responding to the onslaught of authoritarian measures, coalescing at diverse sites of repression, protesting lack of transparency and rule of law, arbitrary state action against citizens, or outright extractivist practices against humans and nature. As the determination and bravery of these activists has to be noted, this volume continues with that critical task of detailing, examining, and analyzing the decline of one of the twenty-first century democratically elected governments into a domestically punitive and regionally aggressive authoritarian regime.
