Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Return of the Native was, in many ways, a radical departure for Thomas Hardy, ushering in his tragic literary vision of the world. Though set in a small space and short time, the novel addresses the broad social and intellectual upheavals of the Victorian age. Much of this turmoil is embodied in the character of Eustacia Vye, the novel's wild and wilful female protagonist.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - News media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the notion that Latinos, particularly Mexicans, are an invading force bent on reconquering land once their own and destroying the American way of life. In this book, Leo R. Chavez contests this assumption's basic tenets, offering facts to counter the many fictions about the 'Latino threat.' With new discussion about anchor babies, the DREAM Act, and recent anti-immigrant legislation in Arizona and other states, this expanded second edition critically investigates the stories about recent immigrants to show how prejudices are used to malign an entire population-and to define what it means to be American.
