International Dimensions of Migration follows migrants from challenging situations in their homelands into even more challenging new worlds. Spanning historical periods from the aftermath of the American Civil War to the Third Reich to the modern era, the essays in this book use post-colonial literature, ethnographic research, primary sources, interviews, and a variety of other approaches to reveal the experiences of immigrants and their hosts. The critical method and broad, cross-cultural context of the volume provide a fresh perspective on the immigration issues we are encountering today.

A guide to Aldiss's fictional output from the 50's to the 80's.

The mountainous, rugged Brall and his wasteland biker gang, the Cauldron, own their women totally-no questions asked or tolerated. His methods are brutal; his desires unquenchable. The latest volunteer to be "indoctrinated" into the Cauldron is the sassy, full-figured Abigail-who already belongs to the Cauldron's biggest rival. Indoctrinating her would spark a gang war, but the Cauldron aims to own every beautiful woman they find, and just can't turn her away. But Abigail has her own plans. She's in love with Brall's rival, Case, the young stud gang leader she's known her whole life. Abigail will do anything to make Case jealous. Their love is so taboo, she has no choice but to give her body up to the mammoth Brall and his overwhelming brutal passions to spur Case to act on his possessive, forbidden lust.Complicating everything, Abigail's insatiable need for Case's attention drives a wedge between herself and her beautiful best friend, Robin-who's in the midst of an uncontrollable love affair with Brall! After a sinfully short tryst, the disastrously gorgeous Robin and the ripped, dangerous Brall know they belong together-their lust-laden love is true and unquestionable. But incriminating secrets spring from the town like shadows in a canyon, and the war between their rival biker gangs has ripped all four forbidden lovers apart, maybe for good. In a town dominated by men and violence, it will take all of Abigail and Robin's wit and wiles to bring back peace-and to reunite with the men they love. This is a raunchy tale, featuring lots of explicit intimate action-including plenty of group loving. You have been warned.
