Описание: Featuring a group of about three hundred dresses from many of the most eminent Italian fashion houses, the book is a celebratory tribute to Italian style through fashion and costume in the twentieth century.
Описание: This is Vol. 2 of The Interviews, a sequel to Every Step a Struggle. While Vol. 1 recalled the performers who fought to give black artists a voice and a presence, this new ground-breaking book focuses on the personalities who replaced the pioneers and refused to abide by Jim Crow traditions. Presented against a detailed background of the revolutionary post-World War II era up to the mid-1970s, the individual views of Mae Mercer, Brock Peters, Jim Brown, Ivan Dixon, James Whitmore, William Marshall and Ruby Dee in heretofore unpublished conversations from the past reveal just how tumultuous and extraordinary the technological, political, and social changes were for the artists and the film industry. Using extensive documentation, hundreds of films, and fascinating private recollections, Dr. Manchel puts a human face both on popular culture and race relations. "A worthy successor to Every Step a Struggle, Exits and Entrances combines superb historical research and astute analytical insights with the inimitable voices of the next generation of African-American artists. This book ensures that the contributions to American cinema of these determined and courageous rebels will never be forgotten. The film studies community owes a debt of gratitude to Manchel for this, the finest achieve- ment of his illustrious career. Exits and Entrances should be required reading for everyone interested in the politics of race in America, film studies, and African-American studies. It belongs in every research library. ―Denise Youngblood, University of Vermont, author of Cinematic Cold War. "Using the method of oral history and the mature thinking of a senior scholar, Exits and Entrances enhances our understanding of the difficult slog to create a truthful, "round" image of African-Americans in U.S. commercial films. This collection is a gold mine of information for future research and should be in all libraries which value film research." ―Peter C. Rollins, Emeritus EIC, Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal
In Coca Yes, Cocaine No Thomas Grisaffi traces the political ascent and transformation of the Movement toward Socialism (MAS) from an agricultural union of coca growers into Bolivia's ruling party. When Evo Morales—leader of the MAS—became Bolivia's president in 2006, coca growers celebrated his election and the possibility of scaling up their form of grassroots democracy to the national level. Drawing on a decade of ethnographic fieldwork with coca union leaders, peasant farmers, drug traffickers, and politicians, Grisaffi outlines the tension that Morales faced between the realities of international politics and his constituents, who, even if their coca is grown for ritual or medicinal purposes, are implicated in the cocaine trade and criminalized under the U.S.-led drug war. Grisaffi shows how Morales's failure to meet his constituents' demands demonstrates that the full realization of alternative democratic models at the local or national level is constrained or enabled by global political and economic circumstances.

In Reagan's Third Term, author Gib Kearney presents an exciting story of how one of America's most beloved presidents might have significantly altered history if elected to serve four more years.
The book opens on Valentine's Day 1988 with news that a military coup has deposed Mikhail Gorbachev as leader of the USSR. After a series of missteps by candidate George HW Bush, congress revokes the 22nd Amendment, and Ronald Reagan wins reelection (beating Senator Ted Kennedy) by a landslide.
But the world Reagan inherits is a dangerous place: on the verge of war with an expansionist Soviet Union and teetering on economic collapse. At home, the President struggles to advance a conservative agenda, confront a domestic coup d'etat, and choose a successor true to the Reagan Revolution.
North Korea. New appointments to the Supreme Court. Abortion. School prayer. Israel, Iraq, Libya. Welfare. The Culture War. The demise of the Democratic Party. It's all there--and more.
As a work of alternate history, Kearney's novel blends actual events and figures from the period with others that would have challenged and defined the Reagan presidency in fascinating new ways. Well-researched, and with an authoritative tone, Reagan's Third Term, is both comprehensive, and convincing, in its depiction of what might have been.
Throughout, Ronald Reagan is presented as a heroic figure who stands tall and resolute in doing what is right, whether it concerns Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iraq, making changes to the US Constitution, overhauling welfare, or confronting a nuclear North Korea. The book also presents a very human side of Reagan, whether threatened by assassination, allegations of racial insensitivity, or struggling with dissent from within his own party.
Above all, Reagan's Third Term is a fun and engaging read, full of twists and surprises. At the center of it all is a portrayal of Reagan guaranteed to delight his admirers; a man whose character provides him with the strength to take on the world, and transform it into something very different from the fractured and dangerous one we now inhabit.Learn more at ReagansThirdTerm.com
