While first-generation immigrant women often begin their lives at the bottom of their new societies; the fates of their adult daughters can be very different. Still; little research has been done to examine the opportunities or constraints that second-generation women face and the class achievements they make. In this volume; author Beverly Mizrachi presents an in-depth study of 40not;-50-year-old Moroccan women whose parents made up part of the largest ethnic group to enter Israel after its establishment in 1948 and whose mothers began their new lives at the bottom of the economic and social ladder. Through her analysis of the life history narratives of these women; Mizrachi reveals that they used a range and number of sites to achieve an impressive mobility into the low; middle; and high segments of the middle class. Mizrachis findings have implications for studying the middle-class mobility of second-generation immigrant women from subordinate groups in other Western societies.This book begins by examining the historical background and culture of Jewish communities in Morocco that affected the mobility resources of the first; immigrant generation of Moroccan women in Israel and those accrued by the second generation. Mizrachi goes on to analyze the life history narratives of a group of six second-generation Moroccan women to show how they used their education; employment; gendered spousal relationships; motherhood; residential mobility; and the body to achieve their middle-class mobility. Ultimately; she finds that these women used their human agency and social structures over these multiple social sites to reach their class goals for themselves and their children while simultaneously constructing new classed and ethnicized feminine identities. Mizrachis findings integrate issues of gender; ethnicity; immigration; and class mobility in a single intriguing study.

You--or your students--can really benefit from the Slow-Downer function on the CD as it maintains correct pitch. You can also loop a section for practicing timing and phrasing. Very useful!The transcriptions are accurate and well laid out on the page. Ive seen some unusual transcriptions of Randy Rhoads guitar work over the years; especially of one part of the "Flying High Again" solo. This book looks quite accurate to me. The CD sounds fantastic too.I dont understand the negative reviews of this book. The publisher got it right. If there is anything to be critical about; it may be that you didnt get a favorite song included. Oh well. Maybe other reviewers thought they were getting original studio recordings from the early 80s. (Maybe they thought Ozzy would be singing on this:Thats not what this series is about. Theyre professional recordings for instructional purposes.) These recordings and transcriptions are as good as youre going to find.Sure do wish I had materials like this when I was a kid.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. So Good That I Also Purchased Volume 70By ESVKThis CD/Book combo is well worth the money. Each song comes with 2 tracks - One with all instruments (including guitar; no vocals) and a second backing track where you provide the guitar. Even though Ozzy isnt necessarily the greatest singer; I do miss his familiar voice on the tracks. P.S.; check out "Shutup Play - Guitar Tutorials" on YouTube for a video to accompany "Crazy Train."0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
