With the specter of prosecution after his term is over and the
possibility of disbarment in Arkansas hanging over President
Clinton, the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal and the events that have
followed it show no sign of abating. The question has become what
to do, and how to think, about those eight months. Did the
President lie or was it plausible that he had truthfully testified
to no sexual relationship? Was the job search for Monica just help
for a friend or a sinister means of obtaining silence? Even if all
the charges were true, did impeachment follow or was censure
enough? And what are the lasting repercussions on the office of the
Presidency?
Aftermath: The Clinton Impeachment and the Presidency in the Age
of Political Spectacle takes a multi-disciplinary approach to
analyze the Clinton impeachment from political perspectives across
the spectrum. The authors attempt to tease out the meanings of the
scandal from the vantage point of law, religion, public opinion,
and politics, both public and personal. Further, the impeachment
itself is situated broadly within the contemporary American liberal
state and mined for the contradictory possibilities for
reconciliation it reveals in our culture.
