The New American Democracy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fiorina, Morris P. / Peterson, Paul E. / Johnson, Bertram, PUBLISHER: Longman Publishing Group, With an emphasis on elections and their importance in the American political system, this groundbreaking offers a stimulating, analytical approach to American government and a unique perspective on contemporary politics. Noted scholars and teachers all, the authors propose in their text that politicians today are perpetually engaged in the election process-a "permanent campaign"-which has profoundly affected how our government functions today. The proliferation of public opinion polls, the growing influence of the Internet, the ubiquitous nature of the news media, and the increasingly important role of interest groups-all demonstrate that America is moving toward a more popular democracy and have blurred the lines between politicians campaigning and governing. The sixth edition of this prestigious text will have been brought completely up-to-date through the end of the George W. Bush administration and Presidential Election, by its publication. The alternate version of "The New American Democracy "includes the exact same coverage as the comprehensive version without the policy chapters.

Warriors and Scribes: Essays in the History and Politics of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dunkerley, James, PUBLISHER: Verso, Warriors and Scribes opens and closes using the prism of biography to question the framing of Latin American political life from both a northern, Cold War perspective and from the trivializations of postmodernism. An investigation of Jorge Castaneda's Utopia Disarmed reveals that Latin American politics are eminently transformable beyond the failed nostrums of multilateral organizations and collapsed dictatorships of the s. In surveying regional relations with the USA since , and a taking a wry look at Hollywood's treatment of Central America under Reagan, Dunkerley points out that Anglo-America has possessed neither a uniform imperialist vocation nor the consistent capacity to impose it. Two pieces written in the late s -- a reappraisal of Latin American Studies since the Cuban Revolution and a survey of the contemporary politics of Bolivia -- reflect the author's concerns with a place that was "American" for half a millennium before "Americanization through globalization" became a watchword.

Eventually Baptiste turns his back on the Old World and returns to the New, determined to find his true place there. He travels into the heart of the American wilderness, and into the depths of his mother's soul, on an epic quest for identity that brings sacrifice, loss, and the distant promise of redemption.

Sensibility and the American Revolution

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Knott, Sarah, PUBLISHER: University of North Carolina Press, In the wake of American independence, it was clear that the new United States required novel political forms. Less obvious but no less revolutionary was the idea that the American people needed a new understanding of the self. Sensibility was a cultural movement that celebrated the human capacity for sympathy and sensitivity to the world. For individuals, it offered a means of self-transformation. For a nation lacking a monarch, state religion, or standing army, sensibility provided a means of cohesion. National independence and social interdependence facilitated one another. What Sarah Knott calls "the sentimental project" helped a new kind of citizen create a new kind of government. Knott paints sensibility as a political project whose fortunes rose and fell with the broader tides of the Revolutionary Atlantic world. Moving beyond traditional accounts of social unrest, republican and liberal ideology, and the rise of the autonomous individual, she offers an original interpretation of the American Revolution as a transformation of self and society.

The Other American Drama

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robinson, Marc, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, The Other American Drama proposes an alternative to the received history of American drama, the Eugene O'Neill-Arthur Miller-August Wilson line of development so familiar to readers of standard drama surveys. Marc Robinson begins his book with a study of Gertrude Stein, whose prolific career as a playwright has been unjustly overshadowed by that of O'Neill. Subsequent essays rethink familiar figures such as Tennessee Williams and Sam Shepard, and make the case for such undervalued writers as Maria Irene Fornes, Adrienne Kennedy, and Richard Foreman. An afterword suggests new directions in the work of several younger playwrights. Robinson's book is the first to discuss Stein, Fornes, Kennedy, and Foreman as essential members of modern American theater rather than as curious fringe figures. He shows how these writers direct attention away from plots, experiment with form, redefine emotion and psychology, and search for the essences of theatrical notions usually taken for granted, such as presence, speech, and movement. Taken together, his essays trace the evolution of a truly innovative American drama. "Robinson has produced a work that will be viewed not only] as an important contribution to American theatre, but also as a significant book about the place of drama in American literature."--Theatre Studies "At a time when a new generation of critics is under increasing pressure to 'theorize' drama, often before having had a chance to experience at first hand this most performative of the performing arts, Marc Robinson's The Other American Drama stands out as a bright and informed work."--American Theatre " Robinson's] range is impressive and his insights penetrating."--TheatreJournal
