Immigration and Women

Understanding the American Experience

By: Susan C. Pearce,Elizabeth J. Clifford,Reena Tandon

This book is a national portrait of immigrant women who live in the United States today, featuring the voices of these women as they describe their contributions to work, culture, and activism. Highlighting the gendered quality of the immigration process, it interrogates how human agency and societal structures interact within the intersecting social locations of gender and migration. The popular debate around contemporary U.S. immigration tends to conjure images of men waiting on the side of the road for construction jobs, working in kitchens or delis, driving taxis, and sending money to their wives and families in their home countries, while women are often left out of these pictures. Through an examination of U.S. Census data and interviews with women across nationalities, we hear the poignant, humorous, hopeful, and defiant words of these women as they describe the often confusing terrain where they are starting new lives, creating architecture firms, building urban high-rises, caring for children, cleaning offices, producing creative works, and organizing for social change. The authors recommend changes for public policy to address the constraints these women face, insisting that new policy must be attentive to the diverse profile of today's immigrating woman: she is both potentially vulnerable to exploitative conditions and forging new avenues of societal leadership.

The Internal Medicine Peripheral Brain

By: Deepak Talreja,Reena R. Talreja,Roshan S. Talreja

Tailored to be relevant to the real-life medical practice of interns, residents, and students, this handbook is designed to condense the most current information in internal medicine into one concise volume. The text is written so that upon receiving a consult, the user can simply turn to the relevant section and follow the text to learn what physical findings to look for, what questions to ask during the patient history, what labs to order and their interpretation, and the various treatment regimens and outcomes. Already "road-tested" at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the University of Virginia Medical School and Hospital, The Internal Medicine Peripheral Brain has already garnered praise for its straightforward approach to clinical practice and the breadth of its information.
