Debating Immigration in the Age of Terrorism, Polarization, and Trump


Free Download Joshua Woods, "Debating Immigration in the Age of Terrorism, Polarization, and Trump"
English | ISBN: 1498535216 | 2017 | 214 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book offers a broad interdisciplinary approach to the changes in the U.S. immigration debate before and after 9/11. A nation’s reaction to foreigners has as much to do with sociology as it does with political science, economics and psychology. Without drawing on this knowledge, our understanding of the immigration debate remains mundane, partial, and imperfect. Therefore, our story accounts for multiple factors, including culture and politics, power, organizations, social psychological processes, and political change. Examining this relationship in the contemporary context requires a lengthy voyage across academic disciplines, a synthesis of seemingly contradictory assumptions, and a grasp of research traditions so vast and confusing that an accurate rendering may seem implausible. And yet, to tell the story of the immigration debate in the age of terrorism, polarization, and Trump in any other way is to tell it in part.

Counter-terrorism and civil society Post-911 progress and challenges


Free Download Scott N. Romaniuk, "Counter-terrorism and civil society: Post-9/11 progress and challenges"
English | ISBN: 1526157926 | 2021 | 344 pages | PDF | 28 MB
This book examines the intersection between national and international counter-terrorism policies and civil society in numerous national and regional contexts. The 9/11 terrorist attacks against the United States in 2001 led to new waves of scholarship on the proliferation of terrorism and efforts to combat international terrorist groups, organizations, and networks. Civil society organisations have been accused of serving as ideological grounds for the recruitment of potential terrorists and a channel for terrorist financing. Consequently, states around the world have established new ranges of counter-terrorism measures that target the operations of civil society organisations exclusively.

The Awful Grace of God Religious Terrorism, White Supremacy, and the Unsolved Murder of Martin Luther King, Jr


Free Download Stuart Wexler, Larry Hancock, "The Awful Grace of God: Religious Terrorism, White Supremacy, and the Unsolved Murder of Martin Luther King, Jr."
English | 2013 | pages: 400 | ISBN: 1619021544, 1582438307 | EPUB | 1,3 mb
The Awful Grace of God chronicles a multi-year effort to kill Martin Luther King Jr. by a group of the nation’s most violent right-wing extremists. Impeccably researched and thoroughly documented, this examines figures like Sam Bowers, head of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Mississippi, responsible for more than three hundred separate acts of violence in Mississippi alone; J.B. Stoner, who ran an organization that the California attorney general said was "more active and dangerous than any other ultra-right organization;" and Reverend Wesley Swift, a religious demagogue who inspired two generations of violent extremists.

Terrorism and the Economy How the War on Terror is Bankrupting the World


Free Download Loretta Napoleoni, "Terrorism and the Economy: How the War on Terror is Bankrupting the World"
English | 2010 | pages: 192 | ISBN: 1583228950 | EPUB | 0,2 mb
Economist and best-selling author Loretta Napoleoni traces the link between the finances of the war on terror and the global economic crisis, finding connections from Dubai to London to Las Vegas that politicians and the media have at best ignored. In launching military and propaganda wars in the Middle East, America overlooked the war of economic independence waged by Al-Qaeda. The Patriot Act boosted the black market economy, and the war on terror prompted a rise in oil prices that led to food riots and distracted governments from the trillion-dollar machinations of Wall Street. Consumers and taxpayers, spurred by propaganda fears, were lured into crushing global debt. Napoleoni shows that if we do not face up to the many serious connections between our response to 9/11 and the financial crisis, we will never work our way out of the looming global recession that now threatens our way of life.
