Le Déluge Américain
by Uri NorwichINGÉRENCE ÉLECTORALE RUSSE ! Depuis un an, il y a eu un déluge incessant de ce titre. Tout le monde l'a entendu ou vu. Étonnamment, il n'y avait pas besoin d'ingérence. Cela dure bien plus longtemps que la plupart des gens ne le réalisent. Le 20 janvier 2009, un nouveau locataire avait emménagé à la Maison Blanche. La transition du pouvoir de l'administration précédente avait été ordonnée et sans incident, et en surface, semblait se dérouler en douceur selon le processus prescrit par la Constitution américaine. Ce que des millions d'Américains ne pouvaient savoir, c'était qu'avant même la naissance du nouveau président, un autre homme s'était vu offrir deux vies à vivre. Son choix allait changer la vie de chaque homme, femme et enfant sur notre planète. De nombreux assassinats célèbres avaient été laissés derrière lui dans le sillage de son ascension. Il avait détruit de nombreuses grandes fortunes individuelles et l'économie de certains pays. Il aurait pu choisir les numéros gagnants de n'importe quel billet de loterie, mais il avait choisi de jouer à Wall Street, le plus gros pari et le jeu le plus lucratif de tous. Peut-être que c'était sa récompense pour avoir survécu à de nombreuses années infernales et être revenu indemne. Il s'était ensuite établi comme courtier en puissance. Ce jour-là même de l'inauguration, il se trouvait également en ville..., à moins d'un mile du Bureau ovale. Il n'y a pas de coïncidences ! Il n'y a pas de coups du destin ! Et il n'y a rien qui arrive simplement..., sans que quelqu'un orchestre le résultat !
Trading Freedom: How Trade with China Defined Early America (American Beginnings, 1500-1900)
by Dael A. NorwoodExplores the surprisingly rich early history of US-China trade and its unexpected impact on the developing republic. The economic and geographic development of the early United States is usually thought of in trans-Atlantic terms, defined by entanglements with Europe and Africa. In Trading Freedom, Dael A. Norwood recasts these common conceptions by looking to Asia, making clear that from its earliest days, the United States has been closely intertwined with China—monetarily, politically, and psychologically. Norwood details US trade with China from the late eighteenth through the late nineteenth centuries—a critical period in America’s self-definition as a capitalist nation—and shows how global commerce was central to the articulation of that national identity. Trading Freedom illuminates how debates over political economy and trade policy, the building of the transcontinental railroad, and the looming sectional struggle over slavery were all influenced by Sino-American relations. Deftly weaving together interdisciplinary threads from the worlds of commerce, foreign policy, and immigration, Trading Freedom thoroughly dismantles the idea that American engagement with China is anything new.

The Heart of the Leopard Children (Global African Voices)
by Wilfried N'SondéA nameless young man lives in the housing projects outside of Paris. When he was a child, his parents moved with him from the Congo to France, hoping in vain to escape poverty and violence. His best friend, Drissa, is in a psychiatric hospital and now Mireille, his girlfriend, the woman with whom he has shared his childhood and hopes, has left him to reconnect with her Jewish roots in Israel. During a night out to drown the pain of his heartache, there is a fight with a policeman, the policeman dies, and the young man is arrested and taken to jail. Between police beatings and abrupt interrogations, his memory becomes his sole ally to escape from the exiguous space in which he is confined. Half-conscious and delirious, he reflects on his journey from the land of his ancestors to his life in the projects with Drissa and Mireille. In The Heart of the Leopard Children, N'Sondé explores the themes of love and pain, belonging and uprooting, desire and fear—all with an implacable and irresistible accuracy. Wilfried N'Sondé's first novel awakens the reader with an urban symphony of desire and lost love, attuned to the violence that accompanies the struggle for social ascension and a sense of belonging, and the paralyzing sentiment of betrayal that inhabits a young man caught between traditions and cultures. Awarded the Prix des Cinq Continents de la Francophonie and the Prix Senghor for the originality of his work, the author captures the sounds, rhythms and pleas of a young man who pulls on the alarm from his prison cell to warn against the multiple barriers of confinement that risk the future of certain sectors of French youth today.

The Tolerant Populists: Kansas Populism and Nativism
by Walter NugentA political movement rallies against underregulated banks, widening gaps in wealth, and gridlocked governments. Sound familiar? More than a century before Occupy Wall Street, the People’s Party of the 1890s was organizing for change. They were the original source of the term “populism,” and a catalyst for the later Progressive Era and New Deal. Historians wrote approvingly of the Populists up into the 1950s. But with time and new voices, led by historian Richard Hofstadter, the Populists were denigrated, depicted as demagogic, conspiratorial, and even anti-Semitic. In a landmark study, Walter Nugent set out to uncover the truth of populism, focusing on the most prominent Populist state, Kansas. He focused on primary sources, looking at the small towns and farmers that were the foundation of the movement. The result, The Tolerant Populists, was the first book-length, source-based analysis of the Populists. Nugent’s work sparked a movement to undo the historical revisionism and ultimately found itself at the center of a controversy that has been called “one of the bloodiest episodes in American historiography.” This timely re-release of The Tolerant Populists comes as the term finds new currency—and new scorn—in modern politics. A definitive work on populism, it serves as a vivid example of the potential that political movements and popular opinion can have to change history and affect our future.
