Sommario/riassunto |
|
Nunns examines how free speech became a centerpiece of American identity during the 20th century and how ideas of freedom of expression came to a head during the "Culture Wars" in the 1980's and '90s. He explores four case histories: performance artist Karen Finley and her court case revolving around public funding for the arts; the lawsuits involving the film I am Curious (Yellow); the controversy surrounding a community's performance of Angels in America; and the racist songwriting of David Allen Coe. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
For more than one hundred years, the Sherman Act and its amendments have defined the legal framework supporting the American economy, but this framework has not remained unchanged. Antitrust laws have been revised and re-interpreted, resulting in changes in enforcement. Ramsey examines the Supreme Court's institutional role in balancing the contentions of the political branches, the business community, the enforcement agencies, and the advocates of various schools of economic thought, incorporating the arguments of each into a coherent, flexible and reasonably stable body of law regulating com |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book argues that just as the ideas of Pan-Africanism birthed by Henry Sylvester-Williams and others in the late 1800s and Negritude ushered by Aimé Césaire and others in the early 1900s emboldened many major Black thinkers to push for independence across Africa, so will these early thinkers’ ideas help in the building of a new Africa. The various chapters explore the proposition that the thoughts of early great Diaspora Black thinkers are still wellsprings of tenets that can be used to build a new Africa. The chapters examine how these thinkers conceptualized Africa in their works, with the main objective of delineating their conceptualizations to generate suggestions on how to build a new Africa. |
