"Following the approach to social justice taken in this book, we would like to bring attention to issues of recognition, participation, and representation as these are linked to migrants' legality and their rights in the chapters by Petchot (17), De Vlieger (16), and Mora and Handmaker (15). These three issues are closely intertwined. In this review chapter, we start by recognizing the implications of migrants' liminal legality, of migrants' rights as workers, and of their right to access goods and benefits in society as key to advancing projects of equality and justice more generally. As Fraser (2007) observes, misrecognition is fundamental to inequality, particularly gender inequality." (author's abstract)

"Terrorism and Religion: Christian Fundamentalism" published on by Oxford University Press.

After distinguishing the North American Protestant fundamentalism from other conservative Christian groups, the main characteristics of this movement, including evangelism, inerrancy, premillennialism, & separatism, are discussed. These characteristics evolved as a response to late-19th-century conflicts in northeastern urban areas of Canada & the US, eventually becoming the dominant ideologies. Organizational structures that grew to spread these ideologies within & without the movement are described, along with its changing goals & activities. The growth of Bible colleges & institutes, publishing & broadcasting, & political radicalism is traced. Restructuring of the movement after 1976, its successful organization of conservative Christians, & prominence in national politics are analyzed, along with new variations on fundamentalism. While fundamentalists will continue to be a force in North American culture, their future visibility & activities remain in question. Bibliog. T. Arnold
