Explores the factors leading up the Syrian Civil War which began in 2011 and how this conflict has led to rebel, government, and ISIS forces targeting civilians rather than opposing forces. Discusses what world organizations are trying to do to stop the fighting and the attacks on innocent bystanders.

Beginning in 2011, the Syrian Civil War has become one of the most pressing crises facing the world today. Fighting has left millions displaced, killed thousands, and destabilized the Middle East. It has also left minorities in the country vulnerable to terrorist organizations like ISIS and other armed groups. This book will provide students with the context they need to understand the ethnic and religious tensions at play in Syria, the growth of the conflict into one of war, and the ramifications of the inadequate international response.

"The Latinx revolution in US culture, society, and politics "Latinx" (pronounced "La-teen-ex") is the gender-neutral term that covers the largest racial minority in the United States, 17 percent of the country. This is the fastest-growing sector of American society, containing the most immigrants. It is the poorest ethnic group in the country, whose political empowerment is altering the balance of forces in a growing number of states. And yet, Latins barely figure in America's racial conversation--the US census does not even have a category for "Latino." In this groundbreaking discussion, Ed Morales explains how Latin political identities are tied to a long Latin American history of mestizaje, translatable as "mixedness" or "hybridity", and that this border thinking is both a key to understanding bilingual, bicultural Latin cultures and politics and a challenge to America's infamously black/white racial regime. This searching and long-overdue exploration of a crucial development in American life updates Cornel West's bestselling Race Matters with a Latin inflection"--.
