Tillyard Stella: World on Fire / LF

World on Fire

Historical Studies of Urban America

How Suburbanization Transformed Faith and Politics in Postwar America

Crabgrass Catholicism

The remarkable story of one of humankind's most far-reaching, dynamic and brutal experimentsThis superb book begins in 1511 with the shipwreck of two Spanish sailors in Yucatán. Only ten years later an army of European adventurers and indigenous rebels seized the island city of Tenochtitlán, seat of one of the world's great empires. The capture of the future Mexico City marked the collision of two long-separated worlds, radically different in everything from biota to urban planning. Spaniards discovered tomatoes, chocolate, and the most sophisticated city they had ever seen. Mexicans discovered horses, wheels, and lethal germs. Gillingham chronicles the cataclysmic century of disease, brought from afar, that killed a majority of the indigenous population and led to a startling recombination of cultures. The industrial mining of Mexico's silver transformed the wealth and trade of the world. Mexico's independence from Spain went on to bring a calamitous war with the United States, one of the first great social revolutions and a one-party government that, whatever its shortcomings, brought peace for Mexicans throughout many of the global horrors of the twentieth century before the country itself collapsed into violence in the 2000s. A pleasure to read, Mexico: A History uses the latest research to dazzling effect, showing how often Mexico has been a dynamic and vital shaper of world affairs.

A behind-the-scenes look into US efforts to contain North Korea’s nuclear capabilities and why they have not worked &nbsp; For almost four decades, the United States has tried to halt North Korea’s march to build nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them. Joel S. Wit, a former State Department official, takes readers to the front lines of nuclear negotiations, to fierce policy debates and secret diplomatic gambits, recounting how perilously close the United States and North Korea have come, on various occasions, to nuclear confrontation. Based on more than three hundred interviews with officials in Washington, Beijing, and Seoul, as well as with the author’s contacts in North Korea, this book chronicles how six American presidents have approached the problem of North Korea. &nbsp; Wit points to Barack Obama and Donald Trump as the two presidents most responsible for the failure to halt the march to nuclear capability, since it was under their successive tenures that North Korea acquired the ability to threaten every city in North America. Wit also offers an unparalleled portrait of Kim Jong Un that refutes his caricature as impulsive and illogical. Like his father and his grandfather, Kim is a ruthless despot, but he is also a canny and informed negotiator determined to secure his dictatorship’s future by exploring diplomacy or, failing that, by building a nuclear arsenal.

This timely and engaging account of how the president relates to political parties helps us understand how contemporary presidents have polarized the electorate, helped drive a wedge between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, put a strong partisan imprint upon the executive branch, and seek to get their message out through partisan media outlets. Partisan presidents in the new era are far less interested in neutral competence and instead use the national party committees as tools of governance.

Since the 1980s the American chief executive has shifted from a paradigm of the "modern presidency" to the "partisan presidency," argues Richard Skinner. This timely and engaging account of how the president relates to political parties helps us understand how contemporary presidents have polarized the electorate, helped drive a wedge between Republicans and Democrats in Congress, put a strong partisan imprint upon the executive branch, and seek to get their message out through partisan media outlets. Partisan presidents in the new era are far less interested in neutral competence and instead use the national party committees as tools of governance. The book balances the development of the partisan presidency through recent history, with a thorough understanding of how Barack Obama fits into this polarized environment. Despite Obama’s rhetoric of bridging the partisan divide, his governing style has shown more continuity with than change from previous partisan presidents. Political parties—far from being on the decline, as political scientists used to argue—are undergoing a strong revitalization in American politics. This creates some positive effects on the American political system, but is also associated with a number of dysfunctional features. Ultimately the U.S. separation of powers structure prevents an unbridled partisan presidency, but current trends suggest that strong partisan polarization is at some level a constant in American history and the mid-twentieth century was the anomaly. The Partisan Presidency is essential reading for students of American politics.

From Reagan to Obama

The Partisan Presidency

How the country that came to elect Obama could also elect Trump &nbsp; How did Americans come to elect Barack Obama twice—and then elect Donald Trump twice? Those choices capture what Paul Starr calls the American contradiction. &nbsp; The whole truth about America, Starr argues in this new history of the United States since the 1950s, has never been contained in one consistent set of values. Our nation was born in the contradiction between freedom and slavery. Today it is beset by a contradiction between a changing people and an old nation, a nation with entrenched institutions that have empowered those who fear the changes and look to restore an old America of their imagining.&nbsp; &nbsp; Starr tells this history from the dual standpoints of the progressive movements that changed the American people and of the movements reacting to them. Black Americans, he argues, served as a model minority, setting in motion America’s twentieth-century revolutions in gender as well as race and rights. With industry’s decline and the rise of economic inequality, millions of Americans have felt dispossessed and seek to bring the old America back. Trump is their revenge. American Contradiction explains how 1950s America became the almost unrecognizable America of the 2020s.

An exploration of the relationship between early modern travel literature and English nationalism, this book's primary goal is to assess the response of early modern readers to the nationalist sentiments in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations. Matthew Day contends that Hakluyt's collection shaped nationalist thinking, ideas, and notions of identity; and that it influenced nationalist policies and actions in a number of key areas, including politics, navigation, exploration and trade.

An exploration of the relationship between early modern travel literature and English nationalism, this book's primary goal is to assess the response of early modern readers to the nationalist sentiments in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations.  Matthew Day contends that Hakluyt's collection shaped nationalist thinking, ideas, and notions of identity; and that it influenced nationalist policies and actions in a number of key areas, including politics, navigation, exploration and trade.    This study discloses the fundamental importance of early modern travel literature to nationalist discourses and their complex relationship with imperialism.  It is based on both printed and manuscript sources, and looks at literature ranging from the drama and poetry to government papers, personal letters, commonplace books, and minutes of trading companies.  As a reception history, it appeals not only to literary and cultural historians, but also to scholars of book history.
