With it has come the weakening of a nation?s ability to hold corporate power in check, and the increasing inability of states to protect the rights of individuals within their national boundaries as a result of the growing number of international legal instruments. This work lays bare corporate actions both domestic and international, under the guise of legal \'personhood,\' and shows how corporations flaunt laws and act as controlling powers beyond the constraints imposed on legal state citizens. Corporations are now ?embedded? within domestic legal regimes and insinuate themselves to subvert the very systems designed to restrain corporate power and protect the public weal. Using international vehicles like the WTO and NAFTA, corporate collective power effectively supersedes the constitutional mandate of nation states. 410 0$aStudies in Critical Social Sciences$v53. 606 $aCorporate power 606 $aCorporations$xPolitical activity 606 $aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation 606 $aJuristic persons 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCorporate power. 615 0$aCorporations$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aInternational business enterprises$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aJuristic persons. 676 $a338.8/8 700 $aWestra$b Laura$0307484 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462885803321 996 $aThe supranational corporation$92137579 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03194nam 2200745 a 450 001 9910458601703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-60756-1 010 $a9786612607561 010 $a0-7391-4608-4 035 $a(CKB)2560000000016410 035 $a(EBL)616229 035 $a(OCoLC)700699428 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000411427 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12172771 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000411427 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10356574 035 $a(PQKB)11497331 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC616229 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL616229 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10391959 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL260756 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000016410 100 $a20100326d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAfter the Girls Club$b[electronic resource] $ehow teenaged Holocaust survivors built new lives in America /$fCarole Bell Ford 210 $aLanham, Md. $cLexington Books$dc2010 215 $a1 online resource (205 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-7391-4606-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aA meeting with Holocaust survivors -- Introduction: The women and the Girls Club -- Lodz : a path to the ghetto -- Growing up : coming of age in a nightmare -- Sh'erit ha-Pletah : the "Surviving Remnant" -- America : a home at the Girls Club -- After the Girls Club : settling in, settling down -- Betty and Lucy : different forks in the road -- Child survivors in old age : the aging women. 330 $aAfter World War II the Girls Club of Brooklyn, New York, became home and safe haven to a small group of young women, orphaned in the Holocaust, whose stories represent the experiences of tens of thousands of child survivors. This book follows them from childhood to the present as they, contrary to early predictions, built new and successful lives in America. In old age the women, once again, are defying bleak expectations. 606 $aJewish women$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vBiography 606 $aHolocaust survivors$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vBiography 606 $aJews, Polish$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vBiography 606 $aWomen immigrants$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vBiography 606 $aJewish girls$zNew York (State)$zNew York$vBiography 606 $aJewish children in the Holocaust$zPoland$vBiography 606 $aJewish girls$zPoland$vBiography 606 $aJews$zPoland$vBiography 607 $aBrooklyn (New York, N.Y.)$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJewish women 615 0$aHolocaust survivors 615 0$aJews, Polish 615 0$aWomen immigrants 615 0$aJewish girls 615 0$aJewish children in the Holocaust 615 0$aJewish girls 615 0$aJews 676 $a940.53/180922 676 $aB 700 $aFord$b Carole Bell$f1934-$0924330 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458601703321 996 $aAfter the Girls Club$92074234 997 $aUNINA
