"His persistence in the face of every obstacle is admirable, and his triumphant attainment of his career goals is to be applauded." ~ Publisher's Weekly BookLife Prize "A Guy with An Accent should give every U.S. resident an appreciation of how fortunate we are to have been born here. It should also give us greater compassion for those who were born elsewhere but desire to come to the United States." ~ Readers' Favorite * * * "He is probably carrying a bomb in his bag" A woman said this while passing by me in a Target parking lot. I was wearing a hefty backpack filled with my school and work belongings. My beard and hair were unkempt after a long day. That night in my basement room, I closed my eyes and thought about my life as an immigrant in the United States. Nothing has been easy. I experienced discriminating verbal attacks from strangers, hateful colleagues, no social life, and lost hope for the future... I thought about giving up at that moment. I felt like I had reached my breaking point, not knowing that I was going to achieve my American Dream of working at one of the top tech companies after a few years. * * * This book will help fellow immigrants find hope and strength to follow their dreams even in the darkest times. It will also help build bridges between those who have differences and be empathetic to those who are struggling. I will reveal the most important trait I learned along my immigration journey. One trait that makes or breaks your life. * * * Quotes mentioned in the book (and got inspired by): "All Americans have been immigrants or the descendants of immigrants" ~ John F. Kennedy, author of A Nation of Immigrants "Most Americans have no idea how the immigration system works or what the citizenship process requires" ~ Jose Antonio Vargas, author of Dear America "When something hurts, you can make something beautiful" ~ America Ferrera, author ofAmerican Like Me "Undocumented immigrants were among the first responders when 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina happened. Many of them had thyroid cancer, sinusitis, asthma, and depression because of the conditions at ground zero" ~ (based on) Karla Cornejo Villavicencio, author of The Undocumented Americans

Accent On Privilege written by Katharine W. Jones and has been published by Temple University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001 with Social Science categories.

Accent on Privilege looks at the complexities of immigration, asking how native and immigrant construct race, gender, class and national identity. Katharine Jones investigates how white English immigrants live in the United States and how they use their status as privileged foreigners to gain the upper hand with Americans. Their privilege, she finds, is created by both American Anglophilia and the ways they perform their identities as "proper" English women and men in their host country. Jones looks at the cultural aspects of this performance: how English people play up their accents, "stiff upper lip," sense of humor and fashion - even the way they drink beer. The political and cultural ties between England and the US act as a backdrop for the identity negotiations of these English people, many of whom do not even consider themselves to be immigrants. This unique exploration of the workings of white privilege offers an important new understanding of the paradoxes of how class, gender, and race are formed in the US and, by implication, in the UK. Author note: Katharine W. Jones is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Philadelphia University.

Foreign Accents examines the various transpacific signifying strategies by which poets of Chinese descent in the U.S. have sought to represent cultural tradition in their articulations of an ethnic subjectivity, in Chinese as well as in English. In assessing both the dynamics and the politics of poetic expression by writers engaging with a specific cultural heritage, the study develops a general theory of ethnic literary production that clarifies the significance of "Asian American" literature in relation to both other forms of U.S. "minority discourse," as well as canonical "American" literature more generally. At the same time, it maps an expanded textual arena and a new methodology for Asian American literary studies that can be further explored by scholars of other traditions. Yao discusses a range of works, including Ezra Pound's Cathay and the Angel Island poems. He examines the careers of four contemporary Chinese/American poets: Ha Jin, Li-young Lee, Marilyn Chin, and John Yau, each of whom bears a distinctive relationship to the linguistic and cultural tradition he or she seeks to represent. Specifically, Yao investigates the range of rhetorical and formal strategies by which these writers have sought to incorporate Chinese culture and, especially, language in their works. Combining such analysis with extensive social contextualization, Foreign Accents delineates an historical poetics of Chinese American verse from the early twentieth century to the present.

In A Postcolonial Leadership, Choi Hee An explores the interwoven relationship between Asian immigrant leadership in general and Asian immigrant Christian leadership in the United States. Using several current leadership theories, she analyzes the current landscape of US leadership and explores how Asian immigrant leaders, including Christian leaders, exercise leadership and confront challenges within this context. Drawing upon postcolonial theory and its analysis of power, Choi examines the multilayered dynamics of the Asian immigrant community and Christian congregations in their postcolonial contexts, and offers a new liberative interpretation of colonized history and culture in order to propose postcolonial leadership as a new leadership model for Asian immigrant leaders.
