"SHITHOLE COUNTRIES": THE SHOCKING TRUTH WHICH SHOULD HAVE SERVED AS A LESSON During an Oval Office meeting, the U.S President grew frustrated with lawmakers. It was due to the discussion revolving around protecting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal. As a result, the President aired out remarks that have since generated global attention. Inviting people to accept the truth, this book depicts scenarios which made the author to confirm that his country, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) as well as other African countries and beyond, was actually a "shithole country". The book further discusses systems turning African countries into shitholes and looks if developed country could be called shithole countries as well.

The human condition has continued to improve phenomenally in today’s world with the development of technology and medicine. This includes developing countries in areas such as Africa, Asia, and South America. Despite the emergence of economy, education, and infrastructure in these regions, media outlets continue to forego their advancements in favor of the negativities that plague these states such as poverty, hunger, and corruption. There is a need to research international media portrayals of the less developed world to ascertain the myth that these areas are still struggling. Deconstructing Images of the Global South Through Media Representations and Communication provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of how global media analyzes developing countries. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as cultural affirmation, online platforms, and audience perception, this book is ideally designed for communications specialists, journalists, broadcasters, newscasters, conflict photographers, media practitioners, policymakers, international relation experts, column writers/editors, students, politicians, government officials, researchers, and academicians seeking current research on the world’s perception of developing countries through media coverage.

Millions of Mexican men crossed into the United States to find work. They took low-level positions that few Americans wanted and sent money back to communities that depended on their support. They periodically returned to Mexico, living their lives in both countries. After 1986, however, US authorities disrupted this back-and-forth movement by strengthening border controls. Many Mexican men chose to remain in the United States permanently for fear of not being able to come back north if they returned to Mexico. For them, the United States became a jaula de oro—a cage of gold. Undocumented Lives tells the story of Mexican migrants who were compelled to bring their families across the border and raise a generation of undocumented children.

On Thursday, January 11th, 2018 behind closed doors meeting, our President Donald J. Trump made a comment on immigrants coming from Haiti and African nations as people from "shithole countries". It was all over the news especially on CNN, MSNBC, NBC News, NPR and so many other channels. African news networks also went on discussing this, and generally broke the internet. The social media became main a battle ground for people who support and those who oppose. For over years, African countries have been referred to as Developing Countries, Dark Continent, Peripheral, Banana Republic, Third World Nations and so many other words. These terminologies have been used from grade school to universities, and all these terminologies have been "designed" by Westerners to categorize and group these countries into one box, and denying them certain privileges and/or rights. CNN and other western media use these words which are very offensive and derogatory every single day especially when talking of economies and democratic tendencies in Africa. If not being hypocrite, why those networks tell Africans that Trump called you "shithole countries" and telling them it is a bad word and offensive while same networks still using similar words, just different wording to those countries? And why African countries get upset with one word as offensive and derogatory but "accepting" all other words of similar meaning and implications? Is it because CNN said so? Personally, I have seen and experienced those extremely dirty, shabby and unpleasant places in both African countries and here in the United States. There are so many places you cannot even imagine you are in America, apart from being "fooled" with nice pictures on internet and media. There are so many rats in New York City around the Subway just like some slams in some parts of Africa. There are so many unpleasant places across the United States if you take a picture no one will ever believe you that you're in America. Each country on the planet has parts of shabby, extremely dirty and unpleasant places, at the same time you'll find beautiful places and things to enjoy in that particular area from the people, culture and environment. If I were to do it over, I would still like to be born in Africa. I liked my childhood upbringing, cultural values, respect and everything prepared me to be outstanding human beings. In short, I would never change I thing. I would live there and still relocated to another place, it's all because God created human beings and have them the Earth, and not specific country. I'm a citizen of the planet Earth and will do everything to help making it a better place, leave a legacy to the new generation too.

Latinx hypersexualized lovers or kingpin predators pulsate from our TVs, smartphones, and Hollywood movie screens. Tweets from the executive office brand Latinxs as bad-hombre hordes and marauding rapists and traffickers. A-list Anglo historical figures like Billy the Kid haunt us with their toxic masculinities. These are the themes creatively explored by the eighteen contributors in Decolonizing Latinx Masculinities. Together they explore how legacies of colonization and capitalist exploitation and oppression have created toxic forms of masculinity that continue to suffocate our existence as Latinxs. And while the authors seek to identify all cultural phenomena that collectively create reductive, destructive, and toxic constructions of masculinity that traffic in misogyny and homophobia, they also uncover the many spaces—such as Xicanx-Indígena languages, resistant food cultures, music performances, and queer Latinx rodeo practices—where Latinx communities can and do exhale healing masculinities. With unity of heart and mind, the creative and the scholarly, Decolonizing Latinx Masculinities opens wide its arms to all non-binary, decolonial masculinities today to grow a stronger, resilient, and more compassionate new generation of Latinxs tomorrow.

Early in his campaign, Donald Trump boasted that 'I know words. I have the best words', yet despite these assurances his speech style has sown conflict even as it has powered his meteoric rise. If the Trump era feels like a political crisis to many, it is also a linguistic one. Trump has repeatedly alarmed people around the world, while exciting his fan-base with his unprecedented rhetorical style, shock-tweeting, and weaponized words. Using many detailed examples, this fascinating and highly topical book reveals how Trump's rallying cries, boasts, accusations, and mockery enlist many of his supporters into his alternate reality. From Trump's relationship to the truth, to his use of gesture, to the anti-immigrant tenor of his language, it illuminates the less obvious mechanisms by which language in the Trump era has widened divisions along lines of class, gender, race, international relations, and even the sense of truth itself.

Strategic nonviolent action has reasserted itself as a potent force in shaping public debate and forcing political change. Whether it is an explosive surge of protest calling for racial justice in the United States, a demand for democratic reform in Hong Kong or Mexico, a wave of uprisings against dictatorship in the Middle East, or a tent city on Wall Street that spreads throughout the country, when mass movements erupt onto our television screens, the media portrays them as being as spontaneous and unpredictable. In This is an Uprising, political analysts Mark and Paul Engler uncover the organization and well-planned strategies behind such outbursts of protest, examining core principles that have been used to spark and guide moments of transformative unrest. This is an Uprising traces the evolution of civil resistance, providing new insights into the contributions of early experimenters such as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., groundbreaking theorists such as Gene Sharp and Frances Fox Piven, and contemporary practitioners who have toppled repressive regimes in countries such as South Africa, Serbia, and Egypt. Drawing from discussions with activists now working to defend human rights, challenge corporate corruption, and combat climate change, the Englers show how people with few resources and little influence in conventional politics can nevertheless engineer momentous upheavals. Although it continues to prove its importance in political life, the strategic use of nonviolent action is poorly understood. Nonviolence is usually studied as a philosophy or moral code, rather than as a method of political conflict, disruption, and escalation. This is an Uprising corrects this oversight. It argues that if we are always taken by surprise by dramatic outbreaks of revolt, and if we decline to incorporate them into our view of how societies progress, then we pass up the chance to fully grasp a critical phenomenon—and to harness its power to create lasting change.
