Sommario/riassunto |
|
In a book written while the events were unfolding, Richard Posner presents a balanced and scholarly understanding of President Clinton's year of crisis which began when his affair with Monica Lewinsky hit the front pages in January 1998. With the freshness and immediacy of journalism, Posner clarifies the issues involved, carefully assesses the conduct of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, and examines the pros and cons of impeaching President Clinton as well as the major procedural issues raised by both the impeachment in the House and the trial in the Senate. This book, reflecting the breadth of Posner's experience and expertise, will be the essential foundation for anyone who wants to understand President Clinton's impeachment ordeal. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Quelles sources les chercheurs mobilisent-ils pour approcher la complexité du « fait esclavagiste » issu de la traite transatlantique ? Que tirent les historiens de leur retour vers des sources d'archives utilisées par leurs prédécesseurs et de l'entrée d'instruments méthodologiques novateurs dans ce champ de la recherche pour lequel on observe un regain d'intérêt ? Que peuvent apporter la peinture, le cinéma ou l'étude de l'imaginaire visuel à la connaissance de l'impact de l'esclavage dans les sociétés depuis plus de trois siècles ? Telles sont les principales questions qui constituent l'aiguillon de Figures d'esclaves, un ouvrage dans lequel quinze historiens, sociologues, anglicistes, anthropologues et spécialistes de littérature se sont réunis dans le but de présenter des études inédites. La publication de cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans le cadre du programme de recherche financé par la région Haute- Normandie : « La Haute-Normandie : une tradition d'ouverture sur le monde ». |
