This book introduces the intrepid temperance advocates who formed America's longest-living minor political party - the Prohibition Party - drawing on the party's history to illuminate how American politics came to exclude minor parties from governance. Lisa M. F. Andersen traces the influence of pressure groups and ballot reforms, arguing that these innovations created a threshold for organization and maintenance that required extraordinary financial and personal resources from parties already lacking in both. More than most other minor parties, the Prohibition Party resisted an encroaching Democratic-Republican stranglehold over governance. When Prohibitionists found themselves excluded from elections, they devised a variety of tactics: they occupied saloons, pressed lawsuits, forged utopian communities, and organized dry consumers to solicit alcohol-free products.

Not many women can claim to have changed history, but Nafis Sadik set that goal in her youth, and change the world she did. Champion of Choice tells the remarkable story of how Sadik, born into a prominent Indian family in 1929, came to be the world's foremost advocate for women's health and reproductive rights, the first female director of a United Nations agency, and "one of the most powerful women in the world" (London Times).

John Brown was fiercely committed to the militant abolitionist cause, a crusade that culminated in Brown's raid on the Federal armory at Harpers Ferry in 1859 and his subsequent execution. Less well known is his devotion to his family, and they to him. Two of Brown's sons were killed at Harpers Ferry, but the commitment of his wife and daughters often goes unacknowledged. In The Tie That Bound Us, Bonnie Laughlin-Schultz reveals for the first time the depth of the Brown women's involvement in his cause and their crucial roles in preserving and transforming his legacy after his death. As detailed by Laughlin-Schultz, Brown's second wife Mary Ann Day Brown and his daughters Ruth Brown Thompson, Annie Brown Adams, Sarah Brown, and Ellen Brown Fablinger were in many ways the most ordinary of women, contending with chronic poverty and lives that were quite typical for poor, rural nineteenth-century women. However, they also lived extraordinary lives, crossing paths with such figures as Frederick Douglass and Lydia Maria Child and embracing an abolitionist moral code that sanctioned antislavery violence in place of the more typical female world of petitioning and pamphleteering. In the aftermath of John Brown's raid at Harpers Ferry, the women of his family experienced a particular kind of celebrity among abolitionists and the American public. In their roles as what daughter Annie called "relics" of Brown's raid, they tested the limits of American memory of the Civil War, especially the war's most radical aim: securing racial equality. Because of their longevity (Annie, the last of Brown's daughters, died in 1926) and their position as symbols of the most radical form of abolitionist agitation, the story of the Brown women illuminates the changing nature of how Americans remembered Brown's raid, radical antislavery, and the causes and consequences of the Civil War.

Germaine Tillion, décédée en avril 2008 à l'âge de cent ans, a connu un destin exceptionnel. Ethnologue et historienne, elle a été l'une des premières résistantes en France, avant d'être déportée à Ravensbrück. Dix ans après son retour des camps, elle s'est engagée dans un combat contre l'horreur qui s'installait dans les deux pays qui lui sont chers : l'Algérie qui a été son terrain de recherche, la France sa patrie bien-aimée. Au lendemain de la guerre, Germaine Tillion avait compris que les résultats des sciences humaines dépendaient étroitement de la personnalité de celui qui les pratique. Elle avait donc conçu le projet de raconter son apprentissage scientifique en évoquant les grands événements de sa vie. Tzvetan Todorov a essayé de reconstituer ce travail inachevé. Pour deux tiers composé de textes inédits, puisés dans les archives récemment classées, l'ensemble s'articule en cinq grandes séquences (Ethnologue en Algérie, Résistance et prison, Déportation, Après le camp, La guerre d'Algérie). Récit continu d'une vie intense, le livre révèle à la fois un penseur original et un écrivain de tout premier plan.
