摘要
摘要
To study the settlement process of undocumented migrants, Jacqueline Hagan examines one of Houston's Maya communities, the approximately 900 Maya from a township in the Department of Totonicapan, Guatemala. She traces this Maya community from its genesis in 1978, when a few men left the township in search of economic opportunity, to the complex effects of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). Based on several years of living and participating in the Totonicapan Maya community in Houston and a visit to the Guatemalan home community, Hagan's research combines interviews, community participation, and observation to evaluate immigration policy. Hagan shows that these immigrants do not passively accept U.S. immigration policy, but instead interpret it and base their actions on their own agenda within the context of their local community. The results, often quite unexpected by national policy makers, question popular myths about the settlement of immigrant communities. The author discusses the different settlement experiences of men and women and the effects of IRCA on family and community structure. Analyzing how legal status influences settlement behavior and international networks, she finds that strong community-based networks and social ties with a home community lead to successful adaptation. Author note: Jacqueline Maria Hagan is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Houston.

Gr 2-3-- Lowery addresses the concerns that eventually brought about Earth Day and the laws and programs that have come about due to its establishment in 1970. Written in easy-reader style, the book has large type and soft pastel illustrations to inform readers of the vital importance of ecological concerns. A variety of ethnic/cultural groups and ages, as well as both genders, are represented in them. The most helpful part of the book isitslast three pages. There, realistic activities that can make every day an Earth Day are cleverly presented in a bulletin-board format. Also useful is a list of addresses to write for more information. This book not only raises the level of concern for a serious problem facing all of us, but, more importantly, also gives good, clear strategies for everyone to do today. --Eowana Bradley Jordan, Westgate Elementary School, Manassas, VA (c) Copyright 2010.

The brief book presents the history of the first Earth Day in 1970 and explains why Earth Day was again celebrated twenty years later. Though the account is simplistic and somewhat didactic, the ecological message is strong. The book concludes with a few tips on how young readers can help the environment. (c) Copyright 2010.

Gr. 2-3. Earth Day 1990 was a worldwide event, a massive public-relations effort to build international awareness of the need to preserve and protect the environment. The significance of that celebration is put in simple terms, with Lowery explaining Earth Day's beginning in 1970 and its renewed prominence in 1990 as environmental concerns widened. A foreword by former senator Gaylord Nelson, who was a key sponsor of the original Earth Day, introduces the text, and suggestions for conserving, recycling, and otherwise protecting the environment are appended. A useful item where the curriculum calls for Earth Day activities. ~--Denise Wilms
