Changing Minds, If Not Hearts - Political Remedies for Racial Conflict (Hardcover): James M. Glaser, Timothy J. Ryan Changing Minds, If Not Hearts - Political Remedies for Racial Conflict (Hardcover)

Americans preach egalitarianism, but democracy makes it hard for minorities to win. "Changing Minds, If Not Hearts" explores political strategies that counteract the impulse of racial majorities to think about racial issues as a zero-sum game, in which a win for one group means a loss for another. James M. Glaser and Timothy J. Ryan argue that, although political processes often inflame racial tensions, the tools of politics also can alleviate conflict.Through randomized experiments conducted in South Carolina, California, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and New Jersey, Glaser and Ryan uncover the racial underpinnings of disputes over affirmative action, public school funding initiatives, Confederate flag displays on government buildings, reparations, and racial profiling. The authors examine whether communities rife with conflict endorse different outcomes when issues are cast in different terms--for example, by calling attention to double standards, evoking alternate conceptions of fairness and justice, or restructuring electoral choices to offer voters greater control. Their studies identify a host of tools that can help overcome opposition to minority interests that are due to racial hostility. Even in communities averse to accommodation, even where antipathy and prejudice linger, minorities can win.With clearly presented data and compelling prose, "Changing Minds, If Not Hearts" provides a vivid and practical illustration of how academic theory can help resolve conflicts on the ground.

Max is a traveling veterinarian running from his past and turning to the comforting distortion of alcohol and prescription tranquilizers. When the charred remains of a rare sea turtle are found on one of the last untouched barrier islands of the Carolina coast, rent-a-vet Max is just sober enough to question the sheriff's explanation and begin a deeper investigation of his own.

As the convergence-a celestial alignment that occurs only once every seven years-and its freak tides and strange currents approaches, Max becomes the unlikely ringleader of an alliance of smugglers, poachers, parolees, and illegals who unite to block a developer's plan to build on the island. In an even more unlikely circumstance, he finds himself drawn toward Maggie, a hostess at the liquor house who is as raw and hard as the drinks she serves.

When an ex-flame shows up to offer her assistance, Max is faced with a sudden and impossible choice. He can choose to return to the city, wealth, and prominence he left behind when he lost his career to a big mistake, or he can risk a new start in a harsh but beautiful land.

This volume examines the challenges of winning the White House and becoming president in the twenty-first century. Beginning with the resources candidates must secure to gain their party's nomination, continuing through the general election campaign, and concluding with the challenges that the victor will face upon taking office, From Votes to Victory presents cogent analysis of the path from campaign to governance. In focusing on the 2008 presidential race as a case study of twenty-first century presidential campaigns, the volume offers an early assessment of the structural changes that have reshaped presidential elections and governance in recent years. To address these questions about presidential campaigns and governance in the twenty-first century, the contributors met during a one-day symposium at Hofstra University's Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency on April 3, 2008.|This volume examines the challenges of winning the White House and becoming president in the twenty-first century.

After Pearl Harbor, German, Italian and Japanese diplomats, along with their staffs and families, were relocated to two lavish but isolated resorts in Appalachia, where the State Department insisted they be treated as distinguished guests. As the war progressed, other Axis envoys were similarly detained. (The Japanese ambassador to Germany was captured by U.S. soldiers in Europe and held in a small hotel in rural Pennsylvania, while the War Department argued for treating him as a war criminal and the local population decried his luxurious accommodations.) Informants were recruited, attempts at espionage and escape were foiled, diplomats complained and squabbled endlessly, babies were born and townspeople made threats, while newspapers published outlandish exposes of wild parties. Based on government documents, the recollections of detainees and hotel staff and contemporary newspaper accounts, this book is the first to focus on the day-to-day lives of the nearly 1,000 detainees during their six-month confinement.
