Obama in exile is the first novel of the series of seven books entitled Children of the 21st century, a comparative study of nuclear societies. It is an attempt to analyze the behavior of American, African-Americans and the world toward the first African American president of the United State. The theme exile is both symbolic and literal. In this sense the author asserts that Obama is in exile in America, where he is limited in his actions; and his failure to follow the agenda of the status quo caused him to go into exile in Africa. The author sees this exile as a form of liberation for Obama, because in Africa, he will, at least, have less stress to accomplish great deeds in the African world that lies in despair. Obama in exile is, by all means, the tale of the tales about the clash of classes between dictators and the people, parents and their children, negritude and white supremacy and, above all, the army and the civil leaders to control human minds, earthly goods and its space.

This collection of critical essays explores the life and writings of President Barack Obama. The individual essays, written by a diverse body of scholars, examine specific facets of Obama’s career – from personal, communal, national and international reactions to his presidential election; to his controversial contributions to the global conversation about race; his impact on popular culture and race relations; his literary, political and philosophical visions; his attitude toward the American constitution; his enactment of new legislation; to the manner in which he attempts to influence American public policy; and to the implications his presidency holds for Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean. Ranging far beyond the presentation of personal opinions about the Obama Administration, these essays offer scholarly perspectives on Obama’s two books, and on his multidimensional efforts to remove the obstacles to equality of opportunity in the United States. They also explore Obama’s potential for re-shaping the American social and cultural terrain and, by extension, for re-vitalizing the American Dream. This book should be of interest to scholars of political science, literature, history, philosophy, religion and psycho-culture as well as to the general reading public.

Between the eighteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, countless African Americans passed as white, leaving behind families and friends, roots and community. It was, as Allyson Hobbs writes, a chosen exile, a separation from one racial identity and the leap into another. This revelatory history of passing explores the possibilities and challenges that racial indeterminacy presented to men and women living in a country obsessed with racial distinctions. It also tells a tale of loss. As racial relations in America have evolved so has the significance of passing. To pass as white in the antebellum South was to escape the shackles of slavery. After emancipation, many African Americans came to regard passing as a form of betrayal, a selling of one’s birthright. When the initially hopeful period of Reconstruction proved short-lived, passing became an opportunity to defy Jim Crow and strike out on one’s own. Although black Americans who adopted white identities reaped benefits of expanded opportunity and mobility, Hobbs helps us to recognize and understand the grief, loneliness, and isolation that accompanied—and often outweighed—these rewards. By the dawning of the civil rights era, more and more racially mixed Americans felt the loss of kin and community was too much to bear, that it was time to “pass out” and embrace a black identity. Although recent decades have witnessed an increasingly multiracial society and a growing acceptance of hybridity, the problem of race and identity remains at the center of public debate and emotionally fraught personal decisions.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Edward Snowden, the man who risked everything to expose the US government’s system of mass surveillance, reveals for the first time the story of his life, including how he helped to build that system and what motivated him to try to bring it down. In 2013, twenty-nine-year-old Edward Snowden shocked the world when he broke with the American intelligence establishment and revealed that the United States government was secretly pursuing the means to collect every single phone call, text message, and email. The result would be an unprecedented system of mass surveillance with the ability to pry into the private lives of every person on earth. Six years later, Snowden reveals for the very first time how he helped to build this system and why he was moved to expose it. Spanning the bucolic Beltway suburbs of his childhood and the clandestine CIA and NSA postings of his adulthood, Permanent Record is the extraordinary account of a bright young man who grew up online—a man who became a spy, a whistleblower, and, in exile, the Internet’s conscience. Written with wit, grace, passion, and an unflinching candor, Permanent Record is a crucial memoir of our digital age and destined to be a classic.

Tibet, “the roof of the world,” had been aloof and at peace for most of its 2,100 years. But in 1932, the Thirteenth Dalai Lama, in his final testament, warned: “It may happen that here, in the center of Tibet, religion and government will be attacked both from without and from within.” By the time his successor was enthroned in 1950, the Chinese occupation had begun. In this gripping account, John F. Avedon draws on his work and travels with the Fourteenth Dalai Lama to bring us the riveting story of Tibet and its temporal and spiritual leader. Included is an extensive interview with the Dalai Lama, who speaks about the conditions in Tibet, the mind of a Buddha, and the events of his life. Rigorously researched, passionately written, the original edition of In Exile from the Land of Snows was instrumental in launching the modern Tibet movement when it was published in 1984. Now, some three decades later, Avedon’s testimony is more wrenching and relevant than ever.

In allen Autobiographien von jüdischen österreichischen Flüchtlingen vor, während und nach des Zweiten Weltkriegs spielt das Thema des Identitätsverlusts, der Heimat- und Rastlosigkeit und des inneren Wandels eine zentrale Rolle. Viele dieser Autobiographinnen und Autobiographen verloren nicht nur Familienangehörige, sondern auch ihre österreichische Identität. Beispielsweise war ihre Muttersprache plötzlich auch die Sprache des Feindes. Einige exilierte Jüdinnen und Juden beschlossen daher, nicht mehr Deutsch zu sprechen. Andere waren gegenteiliger Ansicht und hingen an ihrer Muttersprache als oft letzten Besitz und letzten Teil ihrer österreichischen Identität. Dominik Hofmann-Wellenhof geht, anhand der Autobiographien von Ruth Klüger (weiter leben. Eine Jugend) und Frederic Morton (Runaway Waltz), vorrangig der Frage nach, wie die beiden Autoren den Verlust ihrer alten Identitäten überwanden und die Herausforderung der Identitätskonstruktion in Amerika literarisch verarbeiteten. Welche narrativen Methoden kommen zur Anwendung, welche Erlebnisse werden betont, welche Aspekte ausgespart? Der Autor deckt die in weiter leben und Runaway Waltz teils explizit geschilderten, teils implizit spürbar gemachten Identitätskrisen der Autobiographin bzw. des Autobiographen auf. Verschiedene Möglichkeiten der literarischen Aufarbeitung von Identitätskrisen, welche ins Exil Vertriebene unvermeidlich erleiden, werden aufgezeigt. Neben einer theoretischen Einführung in die Thematik und den literarischen Analysen der Autobiographien finden sich im Buch auch unveröffentlichte Interviews mit den Autoren.

A new way to ensure a presidential candidates victory has been developed by the author, and it involves moving volunteers from excess states to deficit states so that the electoral college total is reached in a transplant program kept as quiet as possible until the residential and voter registration deadlines in each target state can be met by enough temporarily transplanted voter volunteers. Trouble ensues as these pawns are intercepted on the road and their buses attacked. People are injured and die in a theme of sacrifice by true believers. A counterprogram mounted by the Republicans comes too late, and Hillary squeaks out a victory for the White House.

WINNER OF THE CUNDHILL HISTORY PRIZE 2017 SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOLFSON HISTORY PRIZE 2017, THE PUSHKIN HOUSE RUSSIAN BOOK PRIZE 2017 AND THE LONGMAN-HISTORY TODAY BOOK PRIZE 2017 THE TIMES, SPECTATOR, BBC HISTORY and TLS BOOKS OF THE YEAR 'An absolutely fascinating book, rich in fact and anecdote.' - David Aaronovitch 'A splendid example of academic scholarship for a public audience. Yet even though he is an impressively calm and sober narrator, the injustices and atrocities pile up on every page.' - Dominic Sandbrook 'A superb, colourful history of Siberian exile under the tsars' - The Times It was known as 'the vast prison without a roof'. From the beginning of the nineteenth century to the Russian Revolution, the tsarist regime exiled more than one million prisoners and their families beyond the Ural Mountains to Siberia. Daniel Beer's new book, The House of the Dead, brings to life both the brutal realities of an inhuman system and the tragic and inspiring fates of those who endured it. This is the vividly told history of common criminals and political radicals, the victims of serfdom and village politics, the wives and children who followed husbands and fathers, and of fugitives and bounty-hunters. Siberia served two masters: colonisation and punishment. In theory, exiles would discover the virtues of self-reliance, abstinence and hard work and, in so doing, they would develop Siberia's natural riches and bind it more firmly to Russia. In reality, the autocracy banished an army not of hardy colonists but of half-starving, desperate vagabonds. The tsars also looked on Siberia as creating the ultimate political quarantine from the contagions of revolution. Generations of rebels - republicans, nationalists and socialists - were condemned to oblivion thousands of kilometres from European Russia. Over the nineteenth century, however, these political exiles transformed Siberia's mines, prisons and remote settlements into an enormous laboratory of revolution. This masterly work of original research taps a mass of almost unknown primary evidence held in Russian and Siberian archives to tell the epic story both of Russia's struggle to govern its monstrous penal colony and Siberia's ultimate, decisive impact on the political forces of the modern world.
