Framing the Challenge of Urban Flooding in the United States
Flooding is the natural hazard with the greatest economic and social impact in the United States, and these impacts are becoming more severe over time. Catastrophic flooding from recent hurricanes, including Superstorm Sandy in New York (2012) and Hurricane Harvey in Houston (2017), caused billions of dollars in property damage, adversely affected millions of people, and damaged the economic well-being of major metropolitan areas. Flooding takes a heavy toll even in years without a named storm or event. Major freshwater flood events from 2004 to 2014 cost an average of $9 billion in direct damage and 71 lives annually. These figures do not include the cumulative costs of frequent, small floods, which can be similar to those of infrequent extreme floods.
Framing the Challenge of Urban Flooding in the United States contributes to existing knowledge by examining real-world examples in specific metropolitan areas. This report identifies commonalities and variances among the case study metropolitan areas in terms of causes, adverse impacts, unexpected problems in recovery, or effective mitigation strategies, as well as key themes of urban flooding. It also relates, as appropriate, causes and actions of urban flooding to existing federal resources or policies.

Carbon Sovereignty
For almost fifty years, coal dominated the Navajo economy. But in
2019 one of the Navajo Nation's largest coal plants closed. This
comprehensive new work offers a deep dive into the complex inner
workings of energy shift in the Navajo Nation. Geographer Andrew
Curley, a member of the Navajo Nation, examines the history of coal
development within the Navajo Nation, including why some Diné
supported coal and the consequences of doing so. He explains the
Navajo Nation's strategic choices to use the coal industry to
support its sovereignty as a path forward in the face of ongoing
colonialism. Carbon Sovereignty demonstrates the mechanism
of capitalism through colonialism and the construction of resource
sovereignty, in both the Navajo Nation's embrace and its rejection
of a coal economy. For the people of the Navajo Nation, energy
sovereignty is dire and personal. Thanks to on-the-ground
interviews with Diné coal workers, environmental activists, and
politicians, Curley documents the real consequences of change as
they happened. While some Navajo actors have doubled down for coal,
others have moved toward transition. Curley argues that political
struggles ultimately shape how we should understand coal,
capitalism, and climate change. The rise and fall of coal magnify
the nuance and complexity of change. Historical and contemporary
issues intermingle in everyday life with lasting consequences.

Arizona firestorm
In 2010, the governor of Arizona signed a controversial immigration bill (SB 1070) that led to a news media frenzy, copycat bills in twenty-two states, and a U.S. Supreme Court battle that put Arizona at the cross-hairs of the immigration debate. Arizona Firestorm brings together well-respected experts from across the political spectrum to examine and contextualize the political, economic, historical, and legal issues prompted by this and other anti-Latino and anti-immigrant legislation and state actions. It also addresses the news media’s role in shaping immigration discourse in Arizona and around the globe. Arizona is a case study of the roots and impact of the 21st century immigration challenge. Arizona Firestorm will be of interest to scholars and students in communication, public policy, state politics, federalism, and anyone interested in immigration policy or Latino politics.

Cultural Construction of Empire
From 1866 through 1886, the U.S. Army occupied southern Arizona and New Mexico in an attempt to claim it for settlement by Americans. Through a postcolonial lens, Janne Lahti examines the army, its officers, their wives, and the enlisted men as agents of an American empire whose mission was to serve as a group of colonizers engaged in ideological as well as military, conquest.
Cultural Construction of Empireexplores the cultural and social representations of Native Americans, Hispanics, and frontiersmen constructed by the officers, enlisted men, and their dependents. By differentiating themselves from these \"less civilized\" groups, white military settlers engaged various cultural processes and practices to accrue and exercise power over colonized peoples and places for the sake of creating a more \"civilized\" environment for other settlers. Considering issues of class, place, and white ethnicity, Lahti shows that the army's construction of empire took place not on the battlefield alone but also in representations of and social interactions in and among colonial places, peoples, settlements, and events, and in the domestic realm and daily life inside the army villages.
