Principe. English The prince
By: Machiavelli, Niccolo, 1469-1527
Call No:  Main Collection  JC143 .M38 2009
Subject: Translated from the Italian An infamous Renaissance classic, The Prince shocked Europe upon publication with its ruthless tactics for gaining absolute power and its abandonment of conventional morality. Niccolo Machiavelli even came to be regarded by some as an agent of the Devel, his name taken for the intriguer Machevill of Jacobean tragedy. For his treatise on statecraft Machiavelli drew upon his own experience of office under the turbulent Florentine republic, rejecting traditional values of political theory and recognizing the complicated, transient nature of political life. Concerned not with lofty ideals, but with a regime that would last, The Prince has become the Bible of realpolitik, and still retains its power to alarm and instruct --Cover, p. 2

Residential Settlement, Economic Incorporation, and Civic Reception of Immigrants -- 4. Immigrants' Socio-Cultural and Civic-Political Assimilation: Different Groups, Different Contexts, and Different Trajectories -- 5.

Immigrants' American-Born Children: Their Modes of Assimilation and Transnational Engagements -- In Lieu of Conclusion: Some Lessons from the Analysis of American Immigrants' Experience, Research Agendas of (Im)Migration Studies Elsewhere in the World, and What We Can Learn from Each Other This study focuses on the interactive framework in which immigrants, responding to circumstances not of their choosing, nonetheless make history. Though the book is shaped by an underlying theoretical framework, the key theoretical issues are explored through a comparison of eight different groups, providing rich, empirical, grounded material. As the groups range widely in origins and immigrant experiences, they shed light on one of the salient aspects of the contemporary immigrant phenomenon, namely its diversity. The concluding chapter offers a thoughtful review of the main agendas of immigration research in different regions of the world followed by the author's suggestions regarding better-informed cross-national/regional studies in this field. -- Book cover
