Notes:
190 p, This group of essays addresses issues affecting the colonial territories of the Caribbean that have arisen from recent changes in their administration, international globalization, the end of the Cold War, urban economic success, and the consolidation of neoconservative ideology in Europe and North America that questions the terms of colonial arrangements. Individual papers discuss these issues in the French Antilles, Curacao, Aruba, and Puerto Rico, as well as the region as a whole.

Notes:
313 p, Updated to reflect changes in the composition of New York City's immigrant population, this volume brings together contributions from leaders in their respective fields to show how new immigrants are transforming the city - and how New York, in turn, has affected the newcomers' lives. The contributors consider the four largest groups - Dominicans, former Soviets, Chinese and Jamaicans - as well as Mexicans, Koreans, and West Africans.
