DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Understanding the processes and policies of urbanization and suburbanization in American Indian communities Nearly seven out of ten American Indians live in urban areas, yet studies of urban Indian experiences remain scant. Studies of suburban Natives are even more rare. Today’s suburban Natives, the fastest-growing American Indian demographic, highlight the tensions within federal policies working in tandem to move and house differing groups of people in very different residential locations. In American Indians and the American Dream, Kasey R. Keeler examines the long history of urbanization and suburbanization of Indian communities in Minnesota. At the intersection of federal Indian policy and federal housing policy, American Indians and the American Dream analyzes the dispossession of Indian land, property rights, and patterns of home ownership through programs and policies that sought to move communities away from their traditional homelands to reservations and, later, to urban and suburban areas. Keeler begins this analysis with the Homestead Act of 1862, then shifts to the Indian Reorganization Act in the early twentieth century, the creation of Little Earth in Minneapolis, and Indian homeownership during the housing bubble of the early 2000s. American Indians and the American Dream investigates the ways American Indians accessed homeownership, working with and against federal policy, underscoring American Indian peoples’ unequal and exclusionary access to the way of life known as the American dream.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this book, first published in 1985, Ernest G. Bormann explores mass persuasion in America from 1620 to 1860, examining closely four rhetorical communities: the revivals of 1739-1740, the hot gospel of the postrevolutionary period, the evangelical revival and reform of the 1830s, and the Free Soil and Republican parties. Each community varies greatly, but Bormann asserts that each succeeding community shares a rhetorical vision of restoring the "American Dream" that is essentially a modification of the previous visions. Thus, they form a family of rhetorical visions that constitutes a rhetorical tradition of importance in nineteenth-century American popular culture.
Chinese Student Migration and Selective Citizenship

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Since China began its open-door and reform policies in 1978, more than three million Chinese students have migrated to study abroad, and the United States has been their top destination. The recent surge of students following this pattern, along with the rising tide of Chinese middle- and upper-classes' emigration out of China, have aroused wide public and scholarly attention in both China and the US. This book examines the four waves of Chinese student migration to the US since the late 1970s, showing how they were shaped by the profound changes in both nations and by US-China relations. It discusses how student migrants with high socioeconomic status transformed Chinese American communities and challenged American immigration laws and race relations. The book suggests that the rise of China has not negated the deeply rooted "American dream" that has been constantly reinvented in contemporary China. It also addresses the theme of "selective citizenship" – a way in which migrants seek to claim their autonomy - proposing that this notion captures the selective nature on both ends of the negotiations between nation-states and migrants. It cautions against a universal or idealized "dual citizenship" model, which has often been celebrated as a reflection of eroding national boundaries under globalization. This book draws on a wide variety of sources in Chinese and English, as well as extensive fieldwork in both China and the US, and its historical perspective sheds new light on contemporary Chinese student migration and post-1965 Chinese American community. Bridging the gap between Asian and Asian American studies, the book also integrates the studies of migration, education, and international relations. Therefore, it will be of interest to students of these fields, as well as Chinese history and Asian American history more generally.

America's founders had a knack at making history because so many of their achievements as individuals and collectively as a nation had never been seen before by humankind. James Madison said it best, "We are in a wilderness without a single footstep to guide us." Madison and his contemporaries were the greatest group of individuals placed in one place at one time ever. They were true trailblazers in every sense. The first Americans designed a government in which they had faith and trust in; developed a sense of omnipotence and that anything is possible; believed that the New World had unlimited resources and opportunities; and they were the first to realize they were endowed by their Creator with the Independence Instinct. With these four Universal Thematic Principles of the American Dream, the United States of America has become the greatest nation the world has ever known. It is not even close. Then something happened. America has bounced from one disaster to another the past 55 years or so and most doubt the revival of the American Dream is possible. The good news is America's great successes have left tracks in the wilderness Madison spoke of in 1787. America's founders refused to accept the oppression of George III. Modern Americans can refuse to accept history's verdict that America has risen and now must fall. Declaring Greatness: Themes That Transforms Our Destiny offers a historic perspective and how-to guide for Americans to revive the American Dream in all its glory. This requires personal transformation and affirmative decisions by everyone to follow the Creator's Grand Design so we all can Declare Greatness! Phil Sutton, D.B.A. Dr. Phillip B.
