First U.S. paperback edition, spring 2006. Reprint of the 1984 edition with a new, extensive introduction by the author. "A comprehensive and tolerant study, devoid of jargon....Calder, a historian at the University of Illinois at Chicago, fairly describes the mixed results of the occupation.... Some readers may disagree with Mr. Calder's assessment of the occupation's long-term costs - Dominican hostility to the United States and, less directly, the Trujillo regime that began in 1930 - but this is nevertheless an excellent study." - The New York Times Book Review

In this book, Tuuli Lahdesmaki, Katja Makinen, Viktorija L. A. Ceginskas, and Sigrid Kaasik-Krogerus scrutinize how people who participate in cultural initiatives funded and governed by the European Union understand the idea of Europe. The book focuses on three cultural initiatives: the European Capital of Culture, the European Heritage Label, and a European Citizen Campus project funded through the Creative Europe programme. These initiatives are examined through field studies conducted in 12 countries between 2010 and 2018. The authors describe their approach as 'ethnography of Europeanization' and conceptualize the attempts at Europeanization in the European Union's cultural policy as politics of belonging.

In 1992, three hundred innocent Haitian men, women, and children who had qualified for political asylum in the United States were detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -- and told they might never be freed. Charismatic democracy activist Yvonne Pascal and her fellow refugees had no contact with the outside world, no lawyers, and no hope . . . until a group of inspired Yale Law School students vowed to free them.

Pitting the students and their untested professor Harold Koh against Kenneth Starr, the Justice Department, the Pentagon, and Presidents George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, this real-life legal thriller takes the reader from the halls of Yale and the federal courts of New York to the slums of Port-au-Prince and the windswept hills of Guantanamo Bay and ultimately to the U.S. Supreme Court. Written with grace and passion, "Storming the Court" captures the emotional highs and despairing lows of a legal education like no other -- a high-stakes courtroom campaign against the White House in the name of the greatest of American values: freedom.
