Book Description
Immigration Man By: Michael Carrigan Enforcing immigration laws by prohibiting illegal entry into the U.S., while a dangerous and often-thankless job, is carried out on a daily basis by our nation’s brave Border Patrol agents. Chief Pat Brennan, as a U.S. Border Patrol agent, was committed to all aspects of his job, including halting the flow of illegal immigrants attempting to make their way into the United States from Mexico. However, it isn’t until Chief Brennan rescues Teresa, a young, pregnant Mexican woman during a nighttime watch, that he begins to realize that even the most well-trained and well-prepared Border Patrol agents struggle with emotions that may impede their ability to make clear decisions and carry out their job duties. As a result of the harrowing rescue operation, Chief Brennan finds himself bonding with Teresa and questioning his commitment to the Border Patrol and the lengths he will go to protect her and her unborn child. Immigration Man explores the inner turmoil often experienced by our nation’s Border Patrol agents and the choice one agent makes when humanity surpasses all.

The Dignity of Working Men
Author: Michèle Lamont
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674039882
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Michèle Lamont takes us into the world inhabited by working-class men--the world as they understand it. Interviewing black and white working-class men who, because they are not college graduates, have limited access to high-paying jobs and other social benefits, she constructs a revealing portrait of how they see themselves and the rest of society. Morality is at the center of these workers' worlds. They find their identity and self-worth in their ability to discipline themselves and conduct responsible but caring lives. These moral standards function as an alternative to economic definitions of success, offering them a way to maintain dignity in an out-of-reach American dreamland. But these standards also enable them to draw class boundaries toward the poor and, to a lesser extent, the upper half. Workers also draw rigid racial boundaries, with white workers placing emphasis on the "disciplined self" and blacks on the "caring self." Whites thereby often construe blacks as morally inferior because they are lazy, while blacks depict whites as domineering, uncaring, and overly disciplined. This book also opens up a wider perspective by examining American workers in comparison with French workers, who take the poor as "part of us" and are far less critical of blacks than they are of upper-middle-class people and immigrants. By singling out different "moral offenders" in the two societies, workers reveal contrasting definitions of "cultural membership" that help us understand and challenge the forms of inequality found in both societies.
