Abstract

""This book is a welcome addition to the literature on children and the media, and a most stimulating application of social theory to questions of the child in contemporary film and consumer culture.""-Ellen Seiter, author of The Internet Playground: Children's Access, Entertainment and Mis-Education Since the 1980's, a peculiar paradox has evolved in American film. Hollywood's children have grown up, and the adults are looking and behaving more and more like children. In popular films such as Harry Potter, Toy Story, Pocahantas, Home Alone, and Jumanji, it is the children who ar

Abstract

This book critically analyzes American Jewish baby boomers, focusing on the implications of their Jewish identity and identification for the collective American Jewish community. Utilizing data obtained from the 1990 National Jewish Population Survey, the book begins with a demographic portrait of American Jewish baby boomers. Realizing that America's Jews are both a religious and ethnic group, a comparison is made with Protestant and Catholic baby boomers, as well as other ethnic groups. The religious patterns of the Jewish baby boomers and their ethnic patterns are examined in-depth, and placed within the larger contexts of the modern or post-modern character of religion and ethnicity. The book's extensive presentation of detailed quantitative data is consistently complemented by qualitative examinations of their communal implications for Jewish continuity and the organized American Jewish community.

Abstract

One evening, while watching the news, Roger N. Lancaster was startled by a report that a friend, a gay male school teacher, had been arrested for a sexually based crime. The resulting hysteria threatened to ruin the life of an innocent man. In this passionate and provocative book, Lancaster blends astute analysis, robust polemic, ethnography, and personal narrative to delve into the complicated relationship between sexuality and punishment in our society. Drawing on classical social science, critical legal studies, and queer theory, he tracks the rise of a modern suburban culture of fear and d

Abstract

"Philadelphie, 1776. George Washington commande à Betsy Ross le tout premier drapeau des futurs États-Unis d'Amérique. Sa domestique, Angela Brown, y adjoint en secret un hommage à la communauté noire : une étoile de cinq branches de coton noir, glissée sous l'une des étoiles blanches. Douvres, 1944. Le soldat Lincoln reçoit une lettre révélant les mémoires d'Angela Brown. l'étoile qu'elle mentionne existerait-elle vraiment ? L'Histoire serait-elle à réécrire à la lumière de cette révélation ? De Paris libéré aux Ardennes eneigées s'engage pour trois soldats afro-américains un dangereux périple à l'issue inattendue... Accordé à la puissance graphique de Steve Cuzor, l'intense scénario d'Yves Sente se joue des clichés guerriers pour mieux mettre en lumière les déséquilibres d'un monde aveuglé par les idéologies les plus sombres. "Cinq branches de coton noir" est un récit à la résonnance étrangement actuelle."

Abstract

A hinge moment in recent American history, 1995 was an exceptional year. Drawing on interviews, oral histories, memoirs, archival collections, and news reports, W. Joseph Campbell presents a vivid, detail-rich portrait of those memorable twelve months. This book offers fresh interpretations of the decisive moments of 1995, including the emergence of the Internet and the World Wide Web in mainstream American life; the bombing at Oklahoma City, the deadliest attack of domestic terrorism in U.S. history; the sensational "Trial of the Century," at which O.J. Simpson faced charges of double murder; the U.S.-brokered negotiations at Dayton, Ohio, which ended the Bosnian War, Europe’s most vicious conflict since the Nazi era; and the first encounters at the White House between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, a liaison that culminated in a stunning scandal and the spectacle of the president’s impeachment and trial. As Campbell demonstrates in this absorbing chronicle, 1995 was a year of extraordinary events, a watershed at the turn of the millennium. The effects of that pivotal year reverberate still, marking the close of one century and the dawning of another.
