The walk will tell the story of war-torn Polish families and individuals who took up the opportunity to rebuild their lives in Britain and Huddersfield away from the emerging Communist regime in the aftermath of WWII. It also tells of the efforts of local Poles to establish themselves in a new land and of maintaining their cultural and religious life.

Anarchism, which spread throughout most of the world between the 1860s and 1930s, is a libertarian socialist ideology that seeks a democratic and egalitarian society through the overthrow of capitalism and the state. Anarchists have advocated a variety of approaches to revolutionary change, from violent insurrection to peaceful transformation, but after 1900 the most important of these approaches was syndicalism. Syndicalists view the labor movement as the primary site of revolutionary struggle, labor organizations as the principal force capable of toppling the existing order, and democratic union structures as the blueprints for organizing a postrevolutionary society. Syndicalists therefore promote working-class direct action over electoral politics to achieve both short-term and long-term goals, including the general strike as a revolutionary tactic. Although not all anarchists are syndicalists and not all syndicalists are anarchists, the two movements have overlapped substantially.Keywords:socialism;protests;labor;social change;social justicesocialism;protests;labor;social change;social justice

In the Book of Genesis, God destroys the world because of the exogamic behaviors of the "sons of the gods" which result in an impure human race. God promises he will never destroy the whole world again but God replaces punishment of the whole world with punishment meted out to individual cities and nations that transgress his wishes for purity. These targeted punishments are described in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and the story of the Tower of Babel. I wrote about Sodom and Gomorrah in Samuel T. Francis's Race and the American Prospect. I wrote about the Tower of Babel in Niche Theory, Population Transfer and the Origin of the Anti-Semitic Cycle Posted on academia.edu July 14, 2014

"Race, Gender and the Body in British Immigration Control" provides the most detailed account of the virginity testing controversy in the late 1970s, and demonstrates that this abusive practice, which was endured by South Asian women for more than a decade, was part of a wider culture of mistreatment and discrimination that occurred within the immigration system authorized by the state. Using recently opened government documents, Smith and Marmo offer a unique insight into this matter and uncover the extent to which these women were scrutinized, interrogated and subject to physical examination at the border. Combining cutting-edge criminological theory and historical research, this book proposes that the contemporary British immigration control system should be viewed as an attempt to replicate colonial hierarchies upon migrants in the post-imperial era. For this reason, the abuses of human rights at the border became a secondary issue to the need of the post-imperial British nation-state to enforce strict immigration controls.

A poor and small island, considered by the American Empire as their exclusive backyard dared to declare independent in 1959 and become a global example of how to live against the US without obeying his commands. The answer was to stimulate "vote with your feet" offering preferential treatment with economic, social and legal benefits to those who flee Cuba, using these same periodic "harvests" of immigrants, as a source of recruitment for military covert operations and intelligence, "using them as a weapon" against the Cuban Revolution, and Governments and international and national personalities.
The monster built in this artificial exile, prone to violence and crime has survived in the "Cuban-American enclave" and abroad since 1960, protected and forgiven their crimes of illicit enrichment, violence, blackmail and political corruption, turning Miami in the "Center of terrorism in the United States."
Changes in the composition of this enclave, fed by the historical pattern of constant "disagreements and dissonances" on the migration accords between Cuba and the United States, causes a confrontation of recent hundreds of thousands of economic migrants with strong ties with their loved ones on the island, with the concepts and desires of the exile generation.
The change has begun by them, in Miami and in the island, with the family financing the recently "licensed" private institutions in an unstoppable process, which leads to the questioning of when the social and economic reality will reach political processes.
