Positions

Object of study of their work is the emergence of social and economic parallel structures of immigrants in the United States. She describes these trends to the example of Jamaican workers, who for the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita Brands International ) were active. In particular, the Zuwanderungspolitk the United States has been criticized by Chomsky. So civil rights would have been primarily intended for whites only in the USA. The distinction between legal and illegal immigrants would have been primarily associated with the background of the economic usefulness.
