Creole Italian : Sicilian Immigrants and the Shaping of New Orleans Food Culture
In Creole Italian, Justin A. Nystrom explores the influence Sicilian immigrants have had on New Orleans foodways.His culinary journey follows these immigrants from their first impressions on Louisiana food culture in the mid-1830s and along their path until the 1970s.Each chapter touches on events that involved Sicilian immigrants and the relevancy of their lives and impact on New Orleans.Sicilian immigrants cut sugarcane, sold groceries, ran truck farms, operated bars and restaurants, and manufactured pasta.Citing these cultural confluences, Nystrom posits that the significance of Sicilian influence on New Orleans foodways traditionally has been undervalued and instead should be included, along with African, French, and Spanish cuisine, in the broad definition of “creole.”Creole Italian chronicles how the business of food, broadly conceived, dictated the reasoning, means, and outcomes for a large portion of the nearly forty thousand Sicilian immigrants who entered America through the port of New Orleans in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries and how their actions and those of their descendants helped shape the food town we know today.

Swedes in Canada : Invisible Immigrants
Since 1776, more than 100,000 Swedish-speaking immigrants have arrived in Canada from Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Ukraine, and the United States.Elinor Barr’s Swedes in Canada is the definitive history of that immigrant experience.Active in almost every aspect of Canadian life, Swedish individuals and companies are responsible for the CN Tower, ships on the Great Lakes, and log buildings in Riding Mountain National Park.They have built railways and grain elevators all across the country, as well as churches and old folks’ homes in their communities.At the national level, the introduction of cross-country skiing and the success of ParticipACTION can be attributed to Swedes. Despite this long list of accomplishments, Swedish ethnic consciousness in Canada has often been very low.Using extensive archival and demographic research, Barr explores both the impressive Swedish legacy in Canada and the reasons for their invisibility as an immigrant community.

Why is it always immigrants?
Immigrants are often targeted because they are seen as outsiders who are different from the majority population. This can lead to discrimination and scapegoating, as immigrants are sometimes blamed for societal problems such as unemployment, crime, or strain on public services. Additionally, immigrants may be more vulnerable to exploitation and abuse due to their unfamiliarity with the legal and social systems of their new country. These factors can contribute to the perception that immigrants are responsible for various issues, leading to their disproportionate scrutiny and blame.

World Sinfonia: Heart of the Immigrants
'World Sinfonia - Heart of the Immigrants', originally released in 1993, is Al Di Meola's second entry with his 'World Sinfonia' project. The studio album, his 15th overall, is considered an energetic and vital tribute to Tango master Astor Piazzolla. Recorded on all-acoustic instrumentation, the music oozes the flavour and spirit of Argentina - not least because of the influence of Dino Saluzzi, who enriches this record with the wonderful sounds of his bandoneon. Songs such as 'Someday My Prince Will Come' shine with the lush instrumentation, occasionally backed by a string section or the soulful voice of Hernan Romero and make 'World Sinfonia - Heart of the Immigrants' an Al Di Meola album that should not be missing from the collections of any fan of Jazz infused with World Music and Tango.

Hostile Environment : How Immigrants Became Scapegoats
Longlisted for the 2019 Jhalak Prize. From the 1960s the UK's immigration policy - introduced by both Labour and Tory governments - has been a toxic combination of racism and xenophobia.Maya Goodfellow tracks this history through to the present day, looking at both legislation and rhetoric, to show that distinct forms of racism and dehumanisation have produced a confused and draconian immigration system.She examines the arguments made against immigration in order to dismantle and challenge them.Through interviews with people trying to navigate the system, legal experts, politicians and campaigners, Goodfellow shows the devastating human costs of anti-immigration politics and argues for an alternative. This new edition includes an additional chapter, which explores the impacts of the 2019 election and the ongoing immigration enforcement during the coronavirus pandemic.

It is important to recognize the positive impact that immigrants have on society, including their contributions to the economy, culture, and social fabric of their new home. It is more productive to focus on creating inclusive and welcoming environments for all immigrants, rather than perpetuating negative stereotypes.

Do immigrants distort the election campaign?
Immigrants do not necessarily distort the election campaign. While it is true that immigrants may bring different perspectives and priorities to the political discourse, their participation in the election process is a fundamental aspect of a democratic society. Immigrants have the right to engage in the political process and contribute to the diversity of ideas and perspectives that shape the campaign. It is important for political leaders to engage with immigrant communities and address their concerns in order to ensure a fair and inclusive election campaign.
