Rather than celebrating with cake and balloons, she is met with a surprise gift from her parents that turns her life upside down. By accepting her parents' challenge of moving out of her childhood home and finding a career job, Josefina learns that adult life is more difficult than she ever expected. When this grown-up assignment becomes overwhelming, Josefina finds solace in playing on her swing set in the backyard of her childhood home. Letting go of her childish tendencies proves to be the most trying growing pain as she is forced to make mature choices for the first time. How will an opportunity in New York City, a first apartment, and her first love help jumpstart Josefina's journey through the ups and downs of young adulthood? This debut novel by Adriana Erin Rivera tells a relatable and endearing story of post-grad growing pains. "This heart-felt tale of transitions ... is sure to captivate readers from the opening paragraph." - Catamaran Literary Reader

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCollecting the diverse perspectives of scholars, labor organizers, and human-rights advocates, Accountability across Borders is the first edited collection that connects studies of immigrant integration in host countries to accounts of transnational migrant advocacy efforts, including case studies from the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Covering the role of federal, state, and local governments in both countries of origin and destinations, as well as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), these essays range from reflections on labor solidarity among members of the United Food and Commercial Workers in Toronto to explorations of indigenous students from the Maya diaspora living in San Francisco. Case studies in Mexico also discuss the enforcement of the citizenship rights of Mexican American children and the struggle to affirm the human rights of Central American migrants in transit. As policies regarding immigration, citizenship, and enforcement are reaching a flashpoint in North America, this volume provides key insights into the new dynamics of migrant civil society as well as the scope and limitations of directives from governmental agencies.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom gleaming hardstone statues to bright frescoes, the unexpected and often spectacular Egyptian objects discovered in Roman Italy have long presented an interpretive challenge. How they shaped and were shaped by religion, politics, and identity formation has now been well researched. But one crucial function of these objects remains to be explored: their role as precious goods in a collector’s economy. The Romans imported and recreated Egyptian goods in the most opulent materials available – gold, gems, expensive wood, ivory, luxurious textiles – and displayed them like true treasures. This is due in part to the way Romans encountered these items, as argued in this book: first as dazzling spolia from the war against Cleopatra, then as costly wares exchanged over the expanding Roman trade routes. In this respect, Romans treated Egyptian art surprisingly similarly to Greek art. By examining the concrete mechanisms through which Egyptian objects were acquired and displayed in Rome, this book offers a new understanding of this impressive material at the crossroads of Hellenistic, Roman, and Egyptian culture.
