Ce recueil découle d’un symposium européen organisé conjointement par les Universités de Paris VII et de Tours en 1993. Un premier volume fut consacré à Toni Morrison, en particulierBeloved. Tardivement, mais toujours d’actualité, ce second volume aborde d’autres fictions et montre ainsi la richesse et la complexité de la production noire au nouveau monde. On remarquera la présence d’auteurs des Caraïbes. À travers la quête identitaire et historique qui caractérise la production contemporaine, de par la globalisation de la diaspora, cette aire de production littéraire a pris un rôle grandissant dans l’évolution de la littérature noire des États-Unis.

After Lee and Grant met at Appomattox Court House in 1865 to sign the document ending the long and bloody Civil War, the South at last had to face defeat as the dream of a Confederate nation melted into the Lost Cause. Through an examination of memoirs, personal papers, and postwar Confederate rituals such as memorial day observances, monument unveilings, and veterans' reunions, Ghosts of the Confederacy probes into how white southerners adjusted to and interpreted their defeat and explores the cultural implications of a central event in American history. Foster argues that, contrary to southern

In the last decade public diplomacy has become one of the most important concepts in the development and implementation of foreign policy. Trials of Engagement: The Future of US Public Diplomacy , with contributors from leading scholars in disciplines from international relations to communications, considers the challenges for this ‘new’ public diplomacy, especially as it is pursued by the US Government. It highlights the challenges of aligning policy and projection, overcoming bureaucratic tensions, and the language used by public diplomats. Most importantly, the volume illustrates that the issues for public diplomacy are more than those of a producer seeking to win the hearts and minds of passive ‘audiences’. Trials of Engagement portrays public diplomacy as an increasingly public project. To overcome the trials of engagement, public diplomacy must provide more than a rhetorical nod to a “two-way” process. Ultimately, a collaborative public diplomacy must be built on a broad understanding of those involved, the recognition of stakeholders as peers, and effective interaction with networks made up of traditional and new interlocutors.

Ce volume d'articles consacrés aux années vingt en Amérique, propose une approche multiforme des grandes crises et mutations du pays. Des analyses politiques, sociologiques et culturelles actualisent les questions majeures que pose une période charnière entre grande guerre et crise de 29. Une équipe franco-américaine de spécialistes s'est attachée à fournir une synthèse d'informations, de témoignages et de jugements, fondée sur la recherche contemporaine. Des aspects parfois méconnus des « années folles », de « l'âge du jazz » et de la « génération perdue » sont abordés tels que la dimension ethnique, l'évolution des mentalités et le poids de la culture de masse.
