Oxford University Press. Paperback. New. Paperback. 472 pages. Dimensions: 9.1in. x 6.1in. x 1.3in.America is a smuggler nation. Our long history of illicit imports has ranged from West Indies molasses and Dutch gunpowder in the 18th century, to British industrial technologies and African slaves in the 19th century, to French condoms and Canadian booze in the early 20th century, to Mexican workers and Colombian cocaine in the modern era. Contraband capitalism, it turns out, has been an integral part of American capitalism. Providing a sweeping narrative history from colonial times to the present, Smuggler Nation is now available in paperback to retell the story of America -- and of its engagement with its neighbors and the rest of the world -- as a series of highly contentious battles over clandestine commerce. As Peter Andreas demonstrates in this provocative and fascinating work, smuggling has played a pivotal and too often overlooked role in Americas birth, westward expansion, and economic development, while anti-smuggling campaigns have dramatically enhanced the federal governments policing powers. The great irony, Andreas tells us, is that a country that was born and grew up through smuggling is today the worlds leading anti-smuggling crusader. In tracing Americas long and often tortuous relationship with the murky underworld of smuggling, Andreas provides a much-needed antidote to todays hyperbolic depictions of out-of-control borders and growing global crime threats. Urgent calls by politicians and pundits to regain control of the nations borders suffer from a severe case of historical amnesia, nostalgically implying that they were ever actually under control. This is pure mythology, says Andreas. For better and for worse, Americas borders have always been highly porous. Far from being a new and unprecedented danger to America, the illicit underside of globalization is actually an old American tradition. As Andreas shows, it goes back not just decades but centuries. And its impact has been decidedly double-edged, not only subverting U. S. laws but also helping to fuel Americas evolution from a remote British colony to the worlds pre-eminent superpower.

Studies in the History of Educational Theory Vol 1 (RLE Edu H) (2012)
ISBN: 9781136591280 bzw. 1136591281, Band: 1, vermutlich in Englisch, Taylor & Francis Ltd. neu, E-Book.
This book examines key theorists in depth in order to give some insight into cultural change as reflected in their curricular recommendations and in the interplay they reveal between the two fundamental educational concepts of 'artifice' and 'nature'. The essays on the various theorists - Erasmus, Vives, Castiglione, Elyot, Montaigne, Bacon, Comenius, Locke and Rousseau can be read separately but the book also forms an integrated whole, with a continuity of themes explored from theorist to theorist. The book not only charts a historical development but also reveals much that may deepen our understanding of contemporary educational dilemmas. PDF, 16.05.2012.
