Sommario/riassunto

Americans revere their Constitution. However, most of us are unaware how tumultuous and improbable the drafting and ratification processes were. Based on prodigious research and told largely through the voices of the participants, Michael Klarman's The Framers' Coup narrates how the Framers' clashing interests shaped the Constitution--and American history itself.

Sommario/riassunto

In 1972, motivated by prejudice in the child welfare system and hostility in the public schools, AIM organizers and local Native parents



started their own community school. The story of these schools, unfolding through the voices of activists, teachers, and families, is also a history of AIM's founding and community organizing--and evidence of its long-term effect on Indian people's lives.
