Texas is booming. In recent years, the Lone Star State has experienced some of the most rapid growth in the country, both in its economy and in its population. This is thanks to an influx of businesses relocating to Texas to take advantage of all its benefits. But this increase in population has also brought about a shift in the political dialogue within Texas's borders.As more people pour into Texas, they bring with them liberal and socialist ideologies as they try to swing the state from red to blue. These plans for changing policies will suffocate the highly successful capitalist state and its residents, and according to Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.), allowing these liberal ideals to creep into the legislative branch will be the death of Texas. In Hold Texas, Hold the Nation: Victory or Death, West explains how the longstanding conservative capitalist policies within the state's government have allowed it to flourish over the years, providing hard-to-ignore evidence and allowing his experience in Congress to support his argument. He makes his stand, asserting that Texas must hold fast to its conservative ways and resist succumbing to liberal mindsets, or else cease to prosper, and begin to perish.Texas is a sustaining force for America, truly embodying the founding principles of America: those unalienable individual rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In Texas, it's "Victory or Death ."

This book extends the so-called new mobilities paradigm by focusing such theoretical advances on South Asian scholarship. When it comes to analytical approaches to movement, the intellectual trajectory of mobilities work has been tremendously provocative, particularly in the last fifteen years. However, much of that literature remains deeply rooted in Western/Northern geographies, ontologies, and priorities. This volume pushes beyond those earlier approaches to center South Asia as a critical site through which scholars can advance new theoretical and empirical research, diversify extant mobilities studies, and pose a challenge to Western models. Through a diverse set of interdisciplinary chapters, the collection makes a sustained argument about the value of decentering (im)mobilities research. In so doing, South Asia on the Move redirects the regional, theoretical, and methodological foci of the mobilities turn, demonstrating the relevance of South Asia for thinking about movement within the region and around the world.
