Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Dreams and Nightmares appears in full color in both English and Spanish.DescriptionAt fourteen, Liliana Vel squez walked out of her village in Guatemala and headed for the U.S. border, alone. On her two-thousand-mile voyage she was robbed by narcos, rode the boxcars of La Bestia, and encountered death in the Sonoran Desert. When she was caught by Immigration in Arizona, she thought her journey was over. But it had just begun.A los catorce a os, Liliana abandon su pueblo en Guatemala y se dirigi hacia la frontera de los Estados Unidos, sola. En su viaje de dos mil millas fue asaltada por los narcos, viaj en los vagones de La Bestia y se enfrent a la muerte en el desierto de Sonora. Cuando fue capturada por Inmigraci n en Arizona, ella pens que su viaje hab a terminado. Pero solo acababa de empezar.What People Are SayingWhile Immigrants' stories are often told by others, Liliana shares her personal experience of vulnerability, resilience and perseverance in the face of uncertainty. She is a strong and remarkable woman.Mientras que las historias de los inmigrantes son generalmente contadas por terceros, Liliana comparte su propia historia personal, su capacidad recuperativa y su perse-verancia en medio de mucha incertidumbre. Ella es una mujer fuerte y extraordinaria.--Mar a Sotomayor, DACA recipient, Youth Organizer, Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship CoalitionStories like Liliana's counter the inhumane narratives that cast migrants and refugees as drug dealers and rapists, and instead offer US audiences a perspective infused with the genuine human experience of migration. Historias como la de Liliana contradicen a las historias des-humanizantes en las que se equipara a los inmigran-tes y refugiados con narcotraficantes y violadores. La historia de Liliana ofrece al p blico estadounidense una perspectiva imbuida de una experiencia migratoria genuina-mente humana.--Aja Y. Martinez, PhD, Syracuse UniversityLiliana's story is heartbreakingly ordinary, similar to tens of thousands of children who have fled violence, abuse, and extreme poverty, only to suffer further hardship at the hands of a US government that treats them as threats rather than child survivors of trauma.La historia de Liliana es dolorosamente com n, similar a la de decenas de miles de ni os que han huido de la violencia, el abuso y la pobreza extrema, s lo para sufrir m s adver-sidades a manos del gobierno de los E.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This book adopts the multidimensional nature of innovation as its point of focus and offers a comprehensive analysis of contemporary governance issues in Bangladesh. Each chapter views those issues from its own disciplinary perspective, but all share a common focus on the current process in the governance of innovation. The authors show how the processes of innovation and public service delivery are influenced while there is simultaneously a striving for a digital Bangladesh.The book presents innovation as a complex phenomenon with multidisciplinary viewpoints affecting its governance. As well, new practices, developments, and empirical research are shown here. The aim is to point out the most persistent difficulties in public administration and public service delivery, with an emphasis on how to deliver public service in Bangladesh in a sustainable manner.Although significant transformations have been made recently for a better organized public sphere, public services still must be more closely in line with what citizens need rather than what service providers are prepared to deliver.This published work speaks strongly to a wide-ranging audience, from scholars of governance and innovation management to academics, researchers, and postgraduate students interested in public service delivery innovations in Bangladesh and South Asia. Indeed, the book serves as a text and valuable resource for postgraduate courses in politics, business administration, economics, political science, development, and governance in South Asia.…
