Описание: Crossing years and continents, the harrowing story of the road to reunion for two Syrian brothers who--despite a homeland at war and an ocean between them--hold fast to the bonds of family. "Riveting . . . a resplendent love letter to an obliterated city."--The New York Times
"The Road from Raqqa had me gripped from the first page. I couldn't put it down."--Christy Lefteri, author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo
The Alkasem brothers, Riyad and Bashar, spend their childhood in Raqqa, the Syrian city that would later become the capital of ISIS. As a teenager in the 1980s, Riyad witnesses the devastating aftermath of the Hama massacre--an atrocity that the Hafez al-Assad regime commits upon its people. Wanting to expand his notion of government and justice, Riyad moves to the United States to study law, but his plans are derailed and he eventually falls in love with a Southern belle. They move to a suburb of Nashville, Tennessee, where they raise two sons and where Riyad opens a restaurant--Café Rakka--cooking the food his grandmother used to make. But he finds himself confronted with the darker side of American freedoms: the hardscrabble life of a newly arrived immigrant, enduring bigotry, poverty, and loneliness. Years pass, and at the height of Syria's civil war, fearing for his family's safety halfway across the world, he risks his own life by making a dangerous trip back to Raqqa. Bashar, meanwhile, in Syria. After his older brother moves to America, Bashar embarks on a brilliant legal career under the same corrupt Assad government that Riyad despises. Reluctant to abandon his comfortable (albeit conflicted) life, he fails to perceive the threat of ISIS until it's nearly too late. The Road from Raqqa brings us into the lives of two brothers bound by their love for each other and for the war-ravaged city they call home. It's about a family caught in the middle of the most significant global events of the new millennium, America's fraught but hopeful relationship to its own immigrants, and the toll of dictatorship and war on everyday families. It's a book that captures all the desperation, tenacity, and hope that come with the revelation that we can find home in one another when the lands of our forefathers fail us.

Описание: The purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), according to its first Secretary General, Lord Ismay, was �to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.� But this is not the whole truth�the purpose of NATO was to entrench US dominance vis-�-vis the post-War liberal order by manufacturing a Russian threat, perpetuating German disunity, and advancing the argument that America must retain a military presence on the European continent in perpetuity. Built on a foundation of half-truths, lies and outright distortions of fact, NATO was a vehicle for the American-led containment of the Soviet Union, promoting a false prophesy of doom at the hands of international Communism that served to legitimize American militarism. On several occasions it nearly became self-fulfilling and nearly destroyed the world. The End of NATO looks at the history of this intergovernmental alliance with the benefit of hindsight, exposing the cause and effect relationship between NATO policies and the creation of an ongoing East-West standoff in Europe, including the proliferation of nuclear weapons that created conditions that threatened a global thermonuclear annihilation. The reunification of Germany in 1989 and the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the end of NATO�s legitimacy but not its abandonment, due to the American desire to continue its military dominance of Europe. The End of NATO tracks how at American behest, NATO deviated from its original mandate of collective self-defense to one which is violating guarantees made to Russia�s Mikhail Gorbachev not to expand eastward, fighting offensive wars of aggression on European soil, and expanding its reach to North Africa, the Middle East, and Southwest Asia. These missions have created deep divides within the expanded membership of the new NATO, prompting a debate about the primary mandate of the organization�to protect Europe and the trans-Atlantic by promoting stability and security on the European periphery, or to return to containing the regional ambitions of what is now a rejuvenated Russia. Neither mission is in the interests of greater Europe. The End of NATO explores the many fissures created through the pursuit of these competing agendas and why they will ultimately lead to the demise of an organization which has long lost its purpose and utility.

Название: Accessible Elections: How the States Can Help Americans Vote ISBN: 0197537251 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780197537251 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 66960.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Recent years have witnessed widespread changes in state voting and registration laws. These include same day registration, automatic voter registration, early voting, mail voting, and no-excuse absentee voting where people mail in their ballots. Most research on these voting reforms has downplayed their effects, showing that they generally benefit educated, older, and more affluent people. This book shows the positive effects that these reforms have on overall voter turnout, and among voters of disadvantaged groups. Specifically, it emphasizes the ways that state governments are making it easier to participate in elections in an effort to strengthen democratic government. In Accessible Elections, Michael Ritter and Caroline J. Tolbert explore the wide variation from state to state in convenience voting methods and provide new empirical analysis of the beneficial effects of these policies, not only in boosting participation rates overall, but in increasing voter turnout for disadvantaged groups. The authors measure both convenience methods and implementation of the laws, and explore how elections are conducted across the fifty states, where average turnout has varied more than 25 percentage points over the past four decades. The authors also draw on national voter files with millions of cases and vote histories of the same individuals over time in order to show the real effects of election reform and to make a case for how state governments can modernize their electoral practices, increase voter turnout, and make the experience of voting more accessible and equitable. Ritter and Tolbert assert that in the wake of covid-19 and efforts to maintain social distancing, early voting and absentee/mail voting are of particular importance to avoid election-day crowds and ensure equitable elections in states with large populations. With important implications for the 2020 general election and beyond, Accessible Elections underscores how state governments can modernize their electoral procedures to increase voter turnout, address inequalities, and influence campaign and party mobilization strategies.
