Between Two Nations

Between Two Nations

Immigrants come to the United States from all over Latin America in search of better lives. They obtain residency status, find jobs, pay taxes, and they have children who are American citizens by birth; yet decades may go by before they seek citizenship for themselves or become active participants in the American political process. Between Two Nations examines the lack of political participation among Latin American immigrants in the United States to determine why so many remain outside the electoral process. Michael Jones-Correa studied the political practices of first-generation immigrants in New York City's multiethnic borough of Queens. Through intensive interviews and participant observation, he found that immigrant participation was stymied both by lack of encouragement to participate and by the requirement to renounce former citizenship, which raised the fear of never being able to return to the country of origin. The hesitation to naturalize as American citizens can extend over decades, leaving immigrants adrift in a political limbo.Between Two Nations is the first qualitative study of how new immigrants assimilate into American political life. Jones-Correa reexamines assumptions about Latino politics and the diversity of Latino populations in the United States, about the role of informal politics in immigrant communities, and about gender differences in approaches to political activity.

At the time of the greatest libertarian revolutions in history, Vicente Vieira, a Portuguese, returned to Pernambuco to attend a death wish of his father. However, when he arrived, his father had already died and left many debts. The worst and most troubling of them soon revealed itself - He would have to take the debt with a supernatural being who claimed the right to take the soul of the Vieira's heir to hell.When constructing a masonry column - The Cross of the Master - to help the beacon of large ships, Vicente Vieira finds himself in a desperate situation, trying to face all the challenges and consequences of not taking on a debt that did not belong to him. Revealing love and fidelity for his father, he sets out to create artifices to see the father and himself free from this curse.The Cross of the Master becomes the symbol of the agreements between man and the supernatural, the connection between good and evil, and the point of return and departure of the fate of the characters.The Cross of The Master is a real monument, erected in the port of Recife, in Pernambuco, and has for centuries carried the reputation of being in the most haunted place of Brazil.

"May you live in interesting times " goes the old saying with typical, understated, eastern wisdom and wit. Who among us could not relate to that wise proverb? Certainly not I Set in New Zealand, this book allows a reflective glance back at the last year or so and offers snapshots and thoughts about the events that unfolded both internationally, locally and also privately. Some events were terrifying, some unsettling, some funny, some mundane and many were desperately sad. In Jones Street, as in previous books, I attempt to show the world through my eyes and interpret what I see as honestly as I can. I hope you enjoy it.
