Описание: This book offers a strikingly original interpretation of Leo Strauss, his `political philosophy`, and the connection of both to the American conservative movement. There is nothing essentially `conservative` about what Strauss or his leading disciples have taught about politics or morals, instead they have been avid champions of American modernity.

Описание: Over the past half-century, think tanks have become fixtures of American politics, supplying advice to presidents and policy makers, expert testimony on Capitol Hill. This book argues that the curious ambiguity of the think tank is not an accidential feature of its existence, but the very key to its impact.

Описание: Walt Whitman’s now-famous maxim about “containing the multitudes” has often been understood as a metaphor for the democratising impulses of the young American nation. But did these impulses extend across the colour line? Early in his career, especially in the manuscripts leading up to the first edition of Leaves of Grass, the poet espoused a rather progressive outlook on race relations within the United States. However, as time passed, he steered away from issues of race and blackness altogether. These changing depictions and representations of African Americans in the poetic space of Leaves of Grass and Whitman’s other writings complicate his attempts to fully contain all of America’s subject-citizens within the national imaginary. As alluring as “containing the multitudes” might prove to be, African American poets and writers have been equally vexed by and attracted to Whitman’s acknowledgment of the promise and contradictions of the United States and their place within it.Whitman Noir: Black America and the Good Gray Poet explores the meaning of blacks and blackness in Whitman’s imagination and, equally significant, also illuminates the aura of Whitman in African American letters from Langston Hughes to June Jordan, Margaret Walker to Yusef Komunyakaa. The essays, which feature academic scholars and poets alike, address questions of literary history, the textual interplay between author and narrator, and race and poetic influence. The volume as a whole reveals the mutual engagement with a matrix of shared ideas, contradictions, and languages to expose how Whitman influenced African American literary production as well as how African American Studies brings to bear new questions and concerns for evaluating Whitman.

In doing so it sets the scene for the upgrade to Britain`s Polaris force codenamed Chevaline and how this could have brought down Harold Wilson`s Labour government of 1974-1976.
