Sommario/riassunto

One of the quintessential goals of the American Dream is to own land and a home, a place to raise one’s family and prove one’s prosperity. Particularly for immigrant families, home ownership is a way to assimilate into American culture and community. However, Latinos, who make up the country’s largest minority population, have largely been unable to gain this level of inclusion. Instead, they are forced to cling to the fringes of property rights and ownership through overcrowded rentals, transitory living arrangements, and, at best, home acquisitions through subprime lenders.In Tierra y Libertad, Steven W. Bender traces the history of Latinos’ struggle for adequate housing



opportunities, from the nineteenth century to today’s anti-immigrant policies and national mortgage crisis. Spanning southwest to northeast, rural to urban, Bender analyzes the legal hurdles that prevent better housing opportunities and offers ways to approach sweeping legal reform. Tierra y Libertad combines historical, cultural, legal, and personal perspectives to document the Latino community’s ongoing struggle to make America home.

Sommario/riassunto

Die sowjetische Führung war sich 1975 nach der Unterzeichnung der KSZE-Schlussakte ihres Erfolges sicher und feierte vor allem die Vereinbarungen über vertrauensbildende Maßnahmen. Dass der Kreml die Sprengkraft der Schlussakte in puncto Bürger- und Menschenrechte unterschätzt hatte und langfristig in einen beständig wachsenden Zugzwang der Demokratisierung geriet, zeigt Yuliya von Saals Studie. Eine besonders starke Wirkung entfalteten die Interdependenzen zwischen der sowjetischen KSZE-Politik und der Innenpolitik der UdSSR in der Perestroika-Ära unter Michail Gorbacev. Der KSZE-Prozess ermunterte die zentrifugalen Kräfte in der multiethnischen Sowjetunion, erweiterte den innersowjetischen Diskurs um das Thema "Menschenrechte" mit erodierenden Folgen für die Staatsideologie und stimulierte die gesellschaftliche Kritik am System. Insbesondere beförderte er die Liberalisierungspolitik der Reformer in der KPdSU und sicherte diese international ab.

Sommario/riassunto

Social media increasingly shapes the way in which we perceive conflicts and conflict parties abroad. Conflict parties, therefore, have started using social media strategically to influence public opinion abroad. This book explores the phenomenon by examining, (1) which strategies of external communication conflict parties use during asymmetric conflicts and (2) what shapes the selection of these communication strategies. In a comprehensive case study of the conflict in Israel and Palestine, Bernd Hirschberger shows that the selection of strategies of external communication is shaped by the (asymmetric) conflict structure.
