Led by Cole Porter in the 1920s, Americans demonstrated that the
best season to visit the French Riviera was not the winter, as had
been the practice, but the summer. With this shift, Americans
became the dominant shapers of tourism on the Riviera in the 20th
century, yet the American achievement in revolutionizing the
economy of the South of France is largely unsung. This insightful
history details the American influence on the Riviera and the
contributions of several individuals. It pays particular attention
to such writers and artists as Edith Wharton, Gerald Murphy, Henry
Clews, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, whose work drew
energy from their stays in the Riviera and in turn helped to cement
an idyllic image of the Riviera in the American popular
consciousness.
The San Quentin Project collects a largely unseen visual record of
daily life inside one of America's oldest and largest prisons,
demonstrating how this archive of the state is now being used to
teach visual literacy and process the experience of incarceration.
In 2011, Nigel Poor-artist, educator, and cocreator of the
acclaimed podcast Ear Hustle-began teaching a history of
photography class through the Prison University Project at San
Quentin State Prison. Neither books nor cameras were allowed into
the facility, so an unorthodox course with a range of
inventivemapping exercises ensued: students crafted "verbal
photographs" of memories for which they had no visual
documentation, and annotated iconic images from different artists.
After the first semester, Poor says, "one student told me he could
now see fascination everywhere in San Quentin." When Poor received
access to thousands of negatives in the prison's archive, made by
corrections officers of a former era, these images of San Quentin's
everyday occurrences soon became launchpads for her students' keen
observations. From the banal to the brutal, to distinct moments of
respite, the pictures in this archive gave those who were involved
in the project the opportunity to share their stories and
reflections on incarceration.
The American legal system is experiencing a period of extreme
stress, if not crisis, as it seems to be losing its legitimacy with
at least some segments of its constituency. Nowhere is this
legitimacy deficit more apparent than in a portion of the African
American community in the U.S., as incidents of police killing
black suspects - whether legally justified or not - have become
almost routine. However, this legitimacy deficit has largely been
documented through anecdotal evidence and a steady drumbeat of
journalistic reports, not rigorous scientific research. This book
offers an all-inclusive account of how and why African Americans
differ in their willingness to ascribe legitimacy to legal
institutions, as well as in their willingness to accept the policy
decisions those institutions promulgate. Based on two
nationally-representative samples of African Americans, this book
ties together four dominant theories of public opinion: Legitimacy
Theory, Social Identity Theory, theories of adulthood political
socialization and learning through experience, and information
processing theories. The findings reveal a gaping chasm in legal
legitimacy between black and white Americans. More importantly,
black people themselves differ in their perceptions of legal
legitimacy. Group identities and experiences with legal authorities
play a crucial role in shaping whether and how black people extend
legitimacy to the legal institutions that so much affect them. This
book is one of the most comprehensive analyses produced to date of
legal legitimacy within the American black community, with many
surprising and counter-intuitive results.
Getting students away from spouting opinions about highly-charged
partisan issues, Debating Reform, Fourth Edition looks at key
questions about reforming political institutions, with contributed
pieces written by top scholars specifically for the volume. Each
pro or con essay considers a concrete proposal for reforming the
political system. By focusing on institutions, rather than liberal
or conservative public policies, students tend to leave behind
ideology and grapple with claims and evidence to draw their own
conclusions and build their own arguments. Students will explore
how institutions work in their American government text, but this
reader helps them to understand how they can be made to work
better.
On the first anniversary of Donald Trump's presidency, Michael
Nelson, one of our finest and most objective presidential scholars,
published Trump's First Year, a nonpartisan assessment that was
widely hailed as the best account of one of the most unusual years
in presidential history. At the midpoint of Trump's term, Nelson
has updated his book to include the second year, which if anything
has proven to be even more remarkable. Beginning with an
examination of the dramatic 2016 election, Nelson's book follows
Trump as he takes office under mostly favorable conditions, with
relative stability at home and abroad and his party in control of
both houses of Congress. Trump leveraged this successfully in some
ways, from the confirmation of his nominee Neil Gorsuch to the
Supreme Court to the passage of his tax-reform bill. But many more
actions were perceived as failures or even threats to a safe,
functional democracy, including immigration policies defied by
state and local governments, volatile dealings with North Korea,
unsuccessful attempts to pass major legislation, and the inability
to fill government positions or maintain consistent White House
staff. As Nelson demonstrates in a substantial addition to the
original book, Trump's effectiveness, or lack thereof, did not
change significantly in his second year in office, but his approach
often did. With the Mueller investigation and the midterm elections
looming, Trump threw off his advisors' restraints and acted more
directly on his impulses, reverting to the instincts and rhetoric
that had won him the election. While opposition to Trump remained
strong in many quarters, resistance among GOP leaders crumbled as
they were confronted with their constituents' support of the
president.Published on the second anniversary of Trump's
inauguration, Nelson's book offers the most complete and up-to-date
assessment of this still-unfolding story.
' Nelson's] style is swift and straightforward, his narrative gift
considerable ... Consistently diverting, this may be the novel
about homosexuality to end all novels on the subject .. . W]ill
make many a reader's day.' - Julian MacLaren-Ross, "Punch"
'Talented, amusing ... the story is told with sustained suspense:
the various men in it are not merely types, but flesh and blood,
even if one wishes that Patrick had never been born.' - John
Betjeman, "Daily Telegraph"
'Odiously funny and delightfully unwholesome ... a distinct relief
after the ponderous treatment homosexuality has tended to get in
some recent novels.' - "Sunday Times"
' S]harp, witty, malicious ... wonderfully developed in the best
Machiavellian tradition.' - Malcolm Bradbury, "New York Times Book
Review"
'Classic high camp.' - "Books and Bookmen"
Patrick, the book's opening line tells us, is 'very, very rich'.
He's also single, and he has his sights set on Nicholas Milestone,
a handsome young provincial journalist. Having lured Nicholas to
London with the promise of a job on a tabloid magazine, Patrick
moves the young man into his suite at a posh hotel, where he
lavishes money and expensive gifts on him. Nicholas enjoys his
luxurious new lifestyle and meeting Patrick's amusing and
fashionable friends, but he soon understands what Patrick's really
after. Knowing he won't be able to resist the older man's advances
forever, the greedy Nicholas will have to choose between his
conscience and his newly acquired love of money.
"A Room in Chelsea Square" (1958), the semi-autobiographical
second novel by Michael Nelson (1921-1990), was published
anonymously both because of its frank gay content at a time when
homosexuality was still illegal and because its characters were
thinly veiled portrayals of prominent London literary figures.
Witty, clever, and very funny, Nelson's novel has long been
recognized as a gay classic and returns to print in this edition,
which features a new introduction by Gregory Woods.

expertise in this title. Whether discussing particular races or
taking a broader look at the national trends, these contributors
captivate students with engaging stories and political drama, while
weaving in important scholarship and expert analysis. Available
mere months after the election, each chapter, written specifically
for this volume, offers readers historical perspective as well as a
look forward at the implications for the American political system.
Nothing embodied Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign to lastingly
embed the New Deal in the major institutions of American government
more than his effort to pack the Supreme Court. Vaulting Ambition,
the inaugural volume in the Landmark Presidential Decisions series,
presents a balanced assessment of FDR's 1937 effort to
fundamentally change the highest court in the land.Unlike most work
on the subject, Michael Nelson centers his study on the president's
series of decisions to reform the Court, rather than on the Court's
responses. At the heart of the book is an analytical narrative of
FDR's crusade to expand the Court and pack it with those
sympathetic to his cause. While keeping this story front and
center, Vaulting Ambition also presents the Court-packing effort as
part of FDR's larger campaign to shape the executive branch
bureaucracy, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Democratic Party
all in service to enduringly entrench the New Deal into US
government and politics. Although FDR never achieved the mastery
over the entire federal government that he sought, his efforts to
expand and transform the three branches of government and the
Democratic Party were of great consequence and endured long beyond
his tenure. Nelson offers a clear understanding of how FDR's
campaign sheds essential light on today's raging controversy over
changing the Supreme Court.
