Nous sommes à l’automne 2007 à New York et Jende Jonga, un immigrant illégal d’origine camerounaise, est en passe de réaliser son rêve : après avoir été plongeur et chauffeur de taxis, il vient de décrocher un emploi de chauffeur pour Clark Edwards, riche banquier à la Lehman Brothers. Pour Jende, tout est désormais possible : il va enfin pouvoir offrir à Neni, son amoureuse, les études de pharmacienne dont elle rêve. Et surtout, pour les Jonga, le Graal est en vue : obtenir leur carte verte et devenir enfin des Américains. Mais rien n’est simple au pays de l’American Dream. Entre Jende, loyal, discret, compétent, et son patron Clark, noyé dans le travail et les difficultés de la banque se noue une vraie complicité. Les deux familles se rapprochent, mais si les Jonga sont soudés malgré l’épée de Damoclès de l’expulsion, les Edwards sont en proie à de nombreux problèmes. Pour tous, l’interminable demande d’asile des Jonga et la menace d’éclatement de la bulle des subprimes vont remettre en question leurs certitudes…

During the 1950's and 1960's, labour leaders Harold Gibbons and Ernest Calloway championed a new kind of labour movement that regarded workers as 'total persons' interested in both workplace affairs and the exercise of effective citizenship in their communities. Working through Teamsters Local 688 and viewing the city of St Louis as their laboratory, this remarkable interracial duo forged a dynamic political alliance that placed their 'citizen members' on the front lines of epic battles for urban revitalization, improved public services, and the advancement of racial and economic justice.

In November 2001, Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a 31-year-old Yemeni, was captured and turned over to U.S. forces in Afghanistan. After confessing to being Osama bin Laden's driver, Hamdan was transferred to Guantánamo Bay, and was soon designated by President Bush for trial before a special military tribunal. The Pentagon assigned a military defense lawyer to represent him, a 35-year-old graduate of the Naval Academy, Lieutenant Commander Charles Swift. No one expected Swift to mount much of a defense. The rules of the tribunals, America's first in over fifty years, were stacked against him--assuming he wasn't expected to throw the game altogether. Instead, with the help of a young constitutional law professor at Georgetown, Neal Katyal, Swift sued the Bush Administration over the legality of the tribunals. In 2006, Katyal argued the case before the Supreme Court and won. This is the inside story of what may be the most important decision on presidential power and the rule of law in the history of the Supreme Court.--From publisher description.
