»American Mobilities« focuses on a pivotal point when Americans realized that mobility could have disadvantages, which would in later decades again become apparent. A historical perspective helps us to better understand the origins of contemporary representations of mobility in uneven flows of capital and labor. Julia Leyda shows: In the new millennium, questions of mobility prove to be an important thread that runs through the »American« century from the desperation of the Depression through the prosperous years of economic and international expansion and back into global financial crisis
Rights, Action, and Social Responsibility: Public debates surrounding immigration policy, climate change, international relations, and constitutional and human rights are currently at the forefront of our national discourse. Critical reasoning, supported through academic research is needed. As a result, De Gruyter, along with its partner presses, is making freely available books and journal articles across nine topical areas for all students and faculty. Broadening access to this scholarship enables more people to address these issues in an informed manner: it helps us combat false news sources, to consider the nature of truth and ethics, and to understand the struggles of all members of society
