Book Description
At a time when immigration reform has become a top legislative priority for both the Bush administration and Congress, the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) has convened the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future, a bipartisan panel of leaders and policy experts, to develop information, analysis, and proposals that contribute to broader immigration debates. Partner institutions in the project with MPI are the Manhattan Institute and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. This report presents findings and recommendations for sound policy reform in key areas where today's immigration policy and practices are faltering: the unauthorized population, immigration enforcement and national security, labor markets and the legal immigration system, and immigrant integration. The aim of these comprehensive reforms is to ensure that immigrants can continue to make critical contributions to America's success as a nation, while meeting the higher standards of security and service that the American public is demanding.

Book Description
WINNER OF THE SUE KAUFMAN PRIZE FOR FICTION WINNER OF A BETTY TRASK AWARD WINNER OF A PALESTINE BOOK AWARD National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree “Superb . . . The Parisian makes history, and its actors, live once again.”—Boston Globe A masterful debut novel by Plimpton Prize winner Isabella Hammad, The Parisian illuminates a pivotal period of Palestinian history through the journey and romances of one young man, from his studies in France during World War I to his return to Palestine at the dawn of its battle for independence. Midhat Kamal is the son of a wealthy textile merchant from Nablus, a town in Ottoman Palestine. A dreamer, a romantic, an aesthete, in 1914 he leaves to study medicine in France, and falls in love. When Midhat returns to Nablus to find it under British rule, and the entire region erupting with nationalist fervor, he must find a way to cope with his conflicting loyalties and the expectations of his community. The story of Midhat’s life develops alongside the idea of a nation, as he and those close to him confront what it means to strive for independence in a world that seems on the verge of falling apart. Against a landscape of political change that continues to define the Middle East, The Parisian explores questions of power and identity, enduring love, and the uncanny ability of the past to disrupt the present. Lush and immersive, and devastating in its power, The Parisian is an elegant, richly-imagined debut from a dazzling new voice in fiction.

The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol

Pages : 2697
Book Description
The Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees adopted on 28 July 1951 in Geneva continues to provide the most comprehensive codification of the rights of refugees yet attempted. Consolidating previous international instruments relating to refugees, the 1951 Convention with its 1967 Protocol marks a cornerstone in the development of international refugee law. At present, there are 149 States Parties to one or both of these instruments, expressing a worldwide consensus on the definition of the term refugee and the fundamental rights to be granted to refugees. These facts demonstrate and underline the extraordinary significance of these instruments as the indispensable legal basis of international refugee law. This Commentary provides for a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol on an article-by-article basis, exposing the interrelationship between the different articles and discussing the latest developments in international refugee law. In addition, several thematic contributions analyse questions of international refugee law which are of general significance, such as regional developments, the interrelationship between refugee law and general human rights law, as well as the relationship between refugee law and the law of the sea.
