DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Arguably the most useful for general readers. Clearly written, reasonably lean and on the whole, balanced in its assessments, it is an excellent primer." --Los Angeles Times The federal government's efforts to pick and choose among the multitude of immigrants seeking to enter the United States began with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Conceived in ignorance and falsely presented to the public, it had undreamt of consequences, and this pattern has been rarely deviated from since. As renowned historian Roger Daniels shows in this brilliant new work, America's inconsistent, often illogical, and always cumbersome immigration policy has profoundly affected our recent past. Immigration policy in Daniels' skilled hands shows Americans at their best and worst, from the nativist violence that forced Theodore Roosevelt's 1907 "gentlemen's agreement" with Japan to the generous refugee policies adopted after World War Two and throughout the Cold War. And in a conclusion drawn from today's headlines, Daniels makes clear how far ignorance, partisan politics, and unintended consequences have overtaken immigration policy during the current administration's War on Terror. Irreverent, deeply informed, and authoritative, Guarding the Golden Door presents an unforgettable interpretation of modern American history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author graduated with Honors from Loyola University of Chicago. She now resides in northern California, enjoys two lovely daughters and a multifaceted career as an artist/designer, educator and mentor. I write to entertain and educate (mainly myself after a tragic accident). Words entertain me and conjure up pictures without ever uttering sound. The accident gave me time to write on an old computer donated by the editor of a local newspaper, and that is another story . . . . . . . . . In 2006, the world silently celebrated the 50th anniversary of a rebellion gone awry. It wasnt just kids games fought with sticks and stones against Soviet tanks, it was bigger than that, it was Hungarys passion for life, joy and vivre that erupted on that day, the 23rd of October, 1956. The media barely gave the event fi ve minutes notice. James Michener captured the saga in his book, Bridge at Andau. Without Micheners documentation and independent research, I would probably have dismissed this story as fi ction. At the end, the matron who shared her plight and joy with me brought out a leather bound photo album fi lled with post cards Olgi mailed from the free world to her mother behind the Iron Curtain. Those dates, the pictures and words authenticate whats written. The story documents the Cold War era, as well as contrasts Soviet Communism with Americas democratic ideals. As one of my critics, one of my students, puts it, the story teaches us to be thankful. The Golden Door is truly a love story, the love of a man and a woman and their passion for freedom. Thank you in advance for choosing this book . . . . . . . . . ..

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWherever Mother Katharine Drexel went she lighted lamps of faith and hope to bring the Negro and the Indian from the shadows to the light. Surely of her it may be said, as of the woman in Proverbs, "Her lamp shall not be put out in the night." The amount she gave away in the course of her long life was phenomenal. In 1936 Cardinal Dougherty estimated that Mother Katharine had by that time given away $12,000,000 of her inheritance not only to the work of her own congregation but as aid to many struggling missions, including five in foreign countries. As for the works of her own congregation, at the time of her death she had established three houses of social service and one mission center, many rural schools, eight of them supervised by her Sisters, sixty-one other schools-twelve high schools, forty-eight elementary schools-and Xavier University, the first Catholic university in the country for its Negro citizens. To accomplish her part in this work for the neglected minorities of the United States, she gave up everything in the world-and in her case it was surely a great deal-but from her viewpoint it was not a sacrifice but a privilege. And perhaps this was the secret of all her life: she regarded herself as simply expending for God's people what God had given her to give to them. Without her faith, Katharine Drexel's gifts might still have done much good, but her giving was raised above the purely humanitarian level by the fact that she saw beyond the body which must be clothed and fed, to the mind which must be trained-and beyond to the soul which must be saved. And she accepted the responsibility. 304 pp. Softcover
