Ergebnis für "Südamerika" in Politik & Sozialwissenschaften

War Donald Trump bloß ein Betriebsunfall? Ein hässlicher Fleck auf einer ansonsten weißen Weste? Und ist jetzt alles wieder in bester Ordnung? Michael Lüders warnt vor transatlantischen Illusionen und zeigt, warum wir aus dem Schatten der USA heraustreten müssen. Die USA gelten als Garant für Demokratie und Menschenrechte. Doch für "Werte" einzutreten, ist nur die eine Seite der Medaille. Auf der anderen steht eine brutale Machtpolitik. Seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg haben die Amerikaner weltweit zahlreiche Regierungen gestürzt.

From best-selling social commentator and cultural historian Barbara Ehrenreich comes this fascinating exploration of one of humanity's oldest traditions: the celebration of communal joy, historically expressed in ecstatic revels of feasting, costuming, and dancing. Ehrenreich uncovers the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture, showing that such mass festivities have been indigenous to the West since the ancient Greeks.

Amerika durchlebt ein epochales Gesellschaftsbeben. Mit faschistischen Methoden versuchen die Republikaner, die Demokratie zu kapern und eine autokratische Herrschaft zu etablieren: Sie befeuern die militante Spaltung der Gesellschaft, fördern einen Führerkult, rufen zu Gewalt auf und erschaffen mittels Propaganda eine fiktive Realität. Dabei kooperieren sie mit verschiedenen radikalen Gruppierungen wie extremistischen Christen, Verschwörungstheoretikern und Milizen. Ihr nächster Putschversuch läuft bereits auf Hochtouren.

Ocker not only uncovers the bizarre stories of these creatures but investigates the ways in which communities have embraced and celebrated their local cryptids.

How did Latin America's exceptional democracy become a nearly failed state? Why would a leader firmly in control lead one of the planet's richest countries into a humanitarian crisis? Conventional wisdom blames the madness of a populist leader who squandered an oil fortune. In Venezuela's Collapse, Carlos Lizarralde offers an alternative account that places race, ethnicity, and the struggle over resources at the center of the Hugo Chavez story. The book chronicles 500 years of demographic and economic strands that came together in 1998 with the election of a dashing new President.

Based on extensive research and hundreds of interviews, including two with active directors of Central Intelligence, William H. Webster and Robert M.

In Made in America, Bryson de-mythologizes his native land, explaining how a dusty hamlet with neither woods nor holly became Hollywood, how the Wild West wasn't won, why Americans say 'lootenant' and 'Toosday', how Americans were eating junk food long before the word itself was cooked up, as well as exposing the true origins of the G-string, the original $64,000 question, and Dr Kellogg of cornflakes fame.

Apartheid Tropical conta a história de como, após abolição da escravatura, o Estado brasileiro escondeu em sua leis mecanismos sofisticados de segregação racial com o objetivo de eliminar a população negra do país, se estruturando a partir de micro-histórias que ajudam a reconstruir uma história maior. Cada episódio tem um eixo-temático e pelo menos um personagem negro como fio condutar da narrativa que ajuda a explicar os mecanismos legais de segregação do Brasil. Essas são as “micro-histórias”.

Na primeira temporada do Não é de Hoje, a gente escolhe 10 anos decisivos da história brasileira e fala de polarização, conflitos e disputas, para quebrar com a ideia de que tudo sempre foi pacífico por aqui.

Everything, well, almost everything, you know about American history is wrong because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academic historians who treat their biases as fact. But fear not; Professor Thomas Woods refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.

In this Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, Carl Van Doren incorporates materials from Franklin's letters, manuscripts, journals, and published works to give the most accurate and comprehensive portrait ever written of this great American.

America’s relationship with alcohol is a fraught and inconsistent one. While many other nations and cultures have stable attitudes toward drinking, the American perspective on alcohol has been volatile, vacillating wildly from the gallon-a-day beer rations on the Mayflower to nationwide prohibition and back again. Why are Americans so ambivalent about alcohol? What can we learn about the past and the American character through these extreme fluctuations between alcoholism and sobriety across the centuries?

Tocqueville n'est pas seulement un analyste politique exceptionnel, c'est aussi un philosophe politique qui aide à comprendre les problèmes se posant dans les démocraties modernes. L'égalité des conditions, l'individualisme, le despotisme démocratique, les relations entre maîtres et serviteurs, l'esprit de liberté et l'esprit de religion, autant de notions qui dessinent aujourd'hui encore les contours d'une philosophie de la démocratie.

In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville, a young French aristocrat and civil servant, made a nine-month journey through eastern America. The result was Democracy in America, a monumental study of the strengths and weaknesses of the nation’s evolving politics. His insightful work has become one of the most influential political texts ever written on America.

Al publicar México negro, nunca imaginé que, a 35 años de distancia, miles de lectores seguirían leyéndolo. Tampoco supuse la catástrofe que significaría la burocratización de la energía en México: Pemex es la única compañía petrolera quebrada en el mundo. Su insolvencia financiera puede destruir el crédito público de México. Ha sido, con algunas excepciones, una cantera de bandidos. ¿De qué les ha servido la expropiación petrolera de 1938 a más de 50 millones de mexicanos sepultados, hoy en día, en la pobreza?

Amerika ist die Ferne. Amerika heißt die Freiheit. In Amerika lebt immer irgendein Verwandter. Immer noch und obwohl die erlaubte Zahl für die östlichen Einwanderer schon einigemal überschritten war und obwohl die amerikanischen Konsulate so viele Papiere verlangen wie kein Konsulat der Welt, immer noch wandern viele Ostjuden nach Amerika aus.

In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation.

In 1984, as a New York City subway train made its way downtown, a white man named Bernhard Goetz shot four unarmed Black teenagers he believed were going to rob him.
