"The election of Barack Obama marked a critical point in American political and social history. Did the historic election of a black president actually change the status of blacks in the United States? Did these changes (or lack thereof) inform blacks' perceptions of the President? This book explores these questions by comparing Obama's promotion of substantive and symbolic initiatives for blacks to efforts by the two previous presidential administrations. By employing a comparative analysis, the reader can judge whether Obama did more or less to promote black interests than his predecessors. Taking a more empirical approach to judging Barack Obama, this book hopes to contribute to current debates about the significance of the first African American presidency. It takes care to make distinctions between Obama's substantive and symbolic accomplishments and to explore the significance of both" (ed.).

The Bush Administration, sex and the moral agenda considers White House policy towards issues such as abortion, sex education, obscenity and same-sex marriage. The book suggests that although accounts have often emphasised the ties between George W. Bush and the Christian right, the administration's strategy was, at least until early 2005, also directed towards the courting of middle ground opinion. This study offers a detailed and comprehensive survey of policy-making; assesses the political significance of moral concerns; evaluates the role of the Christian right, and throws new light on Geo

Une présentation de ce mouvement politico-religieux pro-Israël américain et pro-juif dont les actions peuvent différer du discours officiel et sioniste. L'instrumentalisation du religieux par le politique aux Etats-Unis, le jeu de vote, l'amplification de l'action et du recrutement de ce groupe sont notamment abordés. Le sionisme chrétien évangélique existe depuis des années et est représenté aux États-Unis par le Christians United For Israel (CUFI) dirigé par le pasteur John Hagee, ardent supporter du parti républicain et du président Donald Trump. En plongeant dans l'univers du CUFI et de Cornerstone Church, l'église de Hagee, en allant à la rencontre des croyants et des leaders, il est possible de saisir leurs croyances, leurs pratiques, leurs propres visions de leur activisme qui peut différer du discours officiel et sioniste. L'instrumentalisation du religieux par le politique sur le sol américain, le jeu du « je-vote-pour-toi-si-tu-votes-Israël », l'amplification de l'action et du recrutement de ce groupe sont fascinants. Qu'est-ce que ce type de sionisme ? Qu'est-ce qu'un « chrétien sioniste » ? Comment Hagee est-il devenu le leader des évangéliques sionistes ? Ces évangéliques sont-ils plus juifs que les juifs ? Cet ouvrage permet une meilleure compréhension de ce mouvement politico-religieux pro-Israël et pro-juif

An updated edition showcasing the social health of the least religious nations in the worldReligious conservatives around the world often claim that a society without a strong foundation of faith would necessarily be an immoral one, bereft of ethics, values, and meaning. Indeed, the Christian Right in the United States has argued that a society without God would be hell on earth.In Society without God, Second Edition sociologist Phil Zuckerman challenges these claims. Drawing on fieldwork and interviews with more than 150 citizens of Denmark and Sweden, among the least religious countries in the world, he shows that, far from being inhumane, crime-infested, and dysfunctional, highly secular societies are healthier, safer, greener, less violent, and more democratic and egalitarian than highly religious ones.Society without God provides a rich portrait of life in a secular society, exploring how a culture without faith copes with death, grapples with the meaning of life, and remains content through everyday ups and downs. This updated edition incorporates new data from recent studies, updated statistics, and a revised Introduction, as well as framing around the now more highly developed field of secular studies. It addresses the dramatic surge of irreligion in the United States and the rise of the "nones," and adds data on societal health in specific US states, along with fascinating context regarding which are the most religious and which the most secular.

Voici le témoignage extraordinaire du 43e président des Etats-Unis. Rompant avec les conventions de l'autobiographie politique, George W Bush se propose, avec une franchise remarquable, de revenir sur les décisions les plus importantes de sa vie. A travers des épisodes captivants et encore jamais dévoilés, le président Bush emmène les lecteurs dans la propriété du gouverneur du Texas, la nuit des élections vivement contestées de 2000 ; il les convie à bord d'Air Force One, le jour du 11 Septembre, juste après l'attaque la plus foudroyante subie par les Etats-Unis depuis Pearl Harbor ; il les invite à la tête du Conseil de sécurité nationale, dans la Situation Room, quelques instants avant le lancement de la guerre en Irak ; et enfin, il les fait asseoir derrière le Bureau Ovale lors de toutes les décisions controversées qu'il a prises concernant la crise financière, l'ouragan Katrina, l'Afghanistan, l'Iran, et toutes les autres questions qui ont déterminé la première décennie du XXIe siècle. Le président Bush nous parle avec honnêteté et franchise de ses défauts et de ses erreurs, aussi bien que de ses succès : sa réforme de l'enseignement, sa campagne de traitement du virus du sida en Afrique. Il nous dévoile également des détails intimes inédits sur sa décision d'arrêter l'alcool, sur sa découverte de la foi et sur ses relations familiales.

Il rappelle le rôle de la religion civile aux Etats-Unis, cette imprégnation de la société dans son ensemble par des valeurs religieuses. Il décrit la montée, depuis une vingtaine d'années, des protestants évangéliques et le recul concomitant des grandes dénominations.

What makes for war or for a stable international system? Are there general principles that should govern foreign policy? In The Cold War and After, Marc Trachtenberg, a leading historian of international relations, explores how historical work can throw light on these questions. The essays in this book deal with specific problems--with such matters as nuclear strategy and U.S.-European relations. But Trachtenberg's main goal is to show how in practice a certain type of scholarly work can be done. He demonstrates how, in studying international politics, the conceptual and empirical sides of the analysis can be made to connect with each other, and �how historical, theoretical, and even policy issues can be tied together in an intellectually respectable way. These essays address a wide variety of topics, from theoretical and policy issues, such as the question of preventive war and the problem of international order, to more historical subjects--for example, American policy on Eastern Europe in 1945 and Franco-American relations during the Nixon-Pompidou period. But in each case the aim is to show how a theoretical perspective can be brought to bear on the analysis of historical issues, and how historical analysis can shed light on basic conceptual problems.
