Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Hailed as one of 'the best novels ever set in America's fourth largest city' (Douglas Brinkley, New York Times Book Review), All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers is a powerful demonstration of Larry McMurtry's 'comic genius, his ability to render a sense of landscape, and interior intellection tension' (Jim Harrison, New York Times Book Review). Desperate to break from the 'mundane happiness' of Houston, budding writer Danny Deck hops in his car, 'El Chevy,' bound for the West Coast on a road trip filled with broken hearts and bleak realities of the artistic life. A cast of unforgettable characters joins the naive troubadour's pilgrimage to California and back to Texas, including a cruel, long-legged beauty; an appealing screenwriter; a randy college professor; and a genuine if painfully 'normal' friend. Since the novel's publication in 1972, Danny Deck has 'been far more successful at getting loved by readers than he ever was at getting loved by the women in his life' (McMurtry), a testament to the author's incomparable talent for capturing the essential tragicomedy of the human experience. 288 pp. Englisch.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Widely heralded as a 'masterful' (The Washington Post) and 'essential' (Slate) history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law offers 'the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation' (William Julius Wilson). Exploding the myth of de facto segregation arising from private prejudice or the unintended consequences of economic forces, Rothstein describes how the American government systematically imposed residential segregation: with undisguised racial zoning; public housing that purposefully segregated previously mixed communities; subsidies for builders to create whites-only suburbs; tax exemptions for institutions that enforced segregation; and support for violent resistance to African Americans in white areas. A ground-breaking, 'virtually indispensable' (Chicago Daily Observer) study that has already transformed our understanding of twentieth-century urban history, The Color of Law is forcing Americans to face the obligation to remedy their unconstitutional past.
