However you read books, hardcover, ebook, audio... Just read it." - Alex Wagner on Alex Wagner TonightFrom two top New York Times journalists, the breathtaking untold story of the plan to overturn Roe v. Wade and the consequences for women, abortion, and the future of AmericaIn June 2022, Americans watched in shock as the Supreme Court reversed one of the nation's landmark rulings. For nearly a half century, Roe was synonymous with women's rights and freedoms. Then, suddenly, it was gone.In their groundbreaking book The Fall of Roe, Elizabeth Dias and Lisa Lerer reveal the explosive inside story of how it happened. Their investigation charts the shocking political and religious campaign to take down abortion rights and remake American families, womanhood, and the nation itself. In doing so, Dias and Lerer go beyond the traditional political narrative into the most personal reaches of American life.Reeling from Barack Obama's 2012 landslide presidential victory - and motivated by a spiritual mission - a small but determined network of elite conservative Christian lawyers and powerbrokers worked quietly and methodically to keep their true cause alive: ending abortion rights. Thinking in generational terms, they devised a strategic, top-down takeover at every level of political and legal life, from little-known anti-abortion lobbyists in far flung statehouses to the arbiters of the constitution at the highest court in the land. Broad swaths of liberal America did not register the severity of the threat until it was far too late. At a moment when women had more power than ever before, the feminist movement suffered one of the greatest political defeats in American history.With stunning scope, journalistic rigor, and unprecedented access to the highest echelons of conservative and liberal power, Dias and Lerer chronicle the end of the Roe era. Their deeply human reporting stretches from inside abortion clinics to the halls of the White House, exposing powerful behind-the-scenes actors and recasting the actions of those already in the spotlight. The result is a sweeping and intimate narrative of secrets, power, jaw-dropping revelations, and a beacon to guide us forward.

"American Whitelash is indispensable. Really. It is." - Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an AntiracistFrom a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, a shocking investigation into the cyclical pattern of violence that has marred racial progress in AmericaIn 2008, Barack Obama's historic victory was heralded as a turning point for the USA. And so it would be - just not in the way that most Americans hoped. The election of the nation's first Black president fanned long-burning embers of white supremacy, igniting a new and frightening phase in a continuous historical cycle of racial progress and white backlash.In American Whitelash, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Wesley Lowery charts the return of this blood-stained trend, showing how the forces of white power retaliated against Obama's victory - and both profited from, and helped to propel, the rise of Donald Trump. Drawing on gripping first-hand reporting, he investigates four incidents of white violence since 2008: the killing of an Ecuadorian immigrant in a working-class town in Long Island, a mass shooting at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin, an attack on a Jewish Community Center in Kansas City, and the murder of Oscar Grant, the first in an unrelenting series of police shootings that would lead to the largest sustained protest movement in the US since the Civil Rights era.Interweaving deep historical analysis with interviews with both victims and perpetrators of violence, Lowery uncovers how this vicious cycle is entering into ever more perilous territory, and how the country still might find a route of escape.

Diese Studie nimmt den Straftatbestand des Feminizids im lateinamerikanischen Kontext in Romanen von Diego Zúñiga (Chile, 2015), Laura Restrepo (Kolumbien, 2018) und Fernanda Melchor (Mexiko, 2017) in den Blick. Es wird gezeigt, wie die literarischen Texte die systemische und intersektionale Dimension des Feminizids beleuchten. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Feminizid interdisziplinär untersucht werden muss, um die Begrenzungen völker- und strafrechtlicher Normen aufzuzeigen. Feminizid ist nur im Strafrecht lateinamerikanischer Staaten verankert. Dieses Alleinstellungsmerkmal wird von den literarischen Texten aufgegriffen, die in der Studie in ihren Verbindungen zu einschlägigen Rechtstexten analysiert werden. Die Studie versteht Literatur als eigene Erkenntnisform, die eine Korrekturforderung für den gesellschaftlichen und juristischen Umgang mit Feminiziden über Lateinamerika hinaus beinhaltet und dabei insbesondere deren Straflosigkeit markiert. Sie leistet dabei einen Beitrag zur interdisziplinären Feminizidforschung, die gerade im deutschsprachigen Raum noch ganz am Anfang steht.

Die jeweilige Staats- und Regierungsform Deutschlands und Italiens lässt sich - so die These - aus geschichtlicher Perspektive auf zwei recht unterschiedliche, stellenweise diametrale Auffassungen und historische Umsetzungen politischer "Partizipation durch Repräsentation" zurückführen. Deutlich wird dies, wenn man unter Partizipation keine persönliche politische Teilhabe, sondern eine Einflussnahme über Stellvertreter und Repräsentanten begreift. Die Entwicklung der politischen Repräsentation erscheint unter diesem Blickwinkel in Deutschland als von jeher föderal organisiert, während in Italien eher auf Individual-Repräsentanten bzw. auf Individuen aufbauende, nationalstaatliche ,Volks'-Vertretungen gesetzt wurde. Expertinnen und Experten aus Deutschland und Italien nehmen die historische Perspektive in den Blick, setzen sich aber zugleich auch mit der Gegenwart auseinander und hinterfragen die heutige "politische Partizipation" durch Repräsentation. Im Konkreten geht es um historische Hintergründe, politische Zielvorstellungen, Organisationsformen und institutionelle Subjekte der politischen Partizipation durch Repräsentation.

This is the history of the institutions and individuals who have managed the global economy, from the World Monetary and Economic Conference in the wake of the Great Depression to the present, as leading nations tackle the fallout from Covid-19 and the threats of inflation, food security and climate change. Since the Second World War, organisations created at Bretton Woods - the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank of Reconstruction and Development - and afterwards - the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development - have left an indelible mark on our contemporary world.Martin Daunton examines the swings of the pendulum over ninety years between the forces of democracy, national determination and globalization. He shows that the structures of economic government have been overwhelmingly shaped by 'first world' powers, often to the dismay of developing countries. He argues that whilst structures cannot be separated from the politics of and between the biggest economies, future global recovery rests on the reduction of inequality and that multilateral institutions are fundamental in fostering inclusive growth.

What can the fall of Rome teach us about the decline of the West today? A historian and a political economist, both experts in their field, investigateOver the last three centuries, the West rose to dominate the planet. Then, suddenly, around the turn of the millennium, history reversed. Faced with economic stagnation and internal political division, the West has found itself in rapid decline.This is not the first time the global order has witnessed such a dramatic rise and fall. The Roman Empire followed a similar arc from dizzying power to disintegration - a fact that is more than a strange historical coincidence. In Why Empires Fall, historian Peter Heather and political economist John Rapley use this Roman past to think anew about the contemporary West, its state of crisis, and what paths we could take out of it.In this exceptional, transformative intervention, Heather and Rapley explore the uncanny parallels - and productive differences - between the two cases, moving beyond the familiar tropes of invading barbarians and civilizational decay to learn new lessons from ancient history. From 399 to 1999, the life cycles of empires, they argue, sow the seeds of their inevitable destruction. The era of western global domination has reached its end - so what comes next?
