Название:The Indiana State Constitution: A Reference Guide (Reference Guides to the State Constitutions of the United States)
Автор: William P. McLauchlan
Издательство: Greenwood Press

The only book-length investigation of the Indiana Constitution, this volume provides a realistic perspective of the formation and evolutionary change of the constitution's provisions. The 1851 Constitution has developed gradually since its adoption, with a minimum of formal amendments, and the constraints on government under the original act are evident today. Relying extensively on state court decisions and reasoning, this book illustrates the scattered and episodic adaptation of the constitutional language to current governmental needs.

This book provides a stimulating account of the dominant cultural forms of 1950s America: fiction and poetry; theatre and performance; film and television; music and radio; and the visual arts. Through detailed commentary and focused case studies of influential texts and events -- from Invisible Man to West Side Story, from Disneyland to the Seattle World's Fair, from Rear Window to The Americans -- the book examines the way in which modernism and the cold war offer two frames of reference for understanding the trajectory of postwar culture.The two core aims of this volume are to chart the changing complexion of American culture in the years following World War II and to provide readers with a critical investigation of 'the 1950s'.

The Republican efficiency expert whose economic boosterism met its match in the Great DepressionCatapulted into national politics by his heroic campaigns to feed Europe during and after World War I, Herbert Hoover—an engineer by training—exemplified the economic optimism of the 1920s. As president, however, Hoover was sorely tested by America's first crisis of the twentieth century: the Great Depression.Renowned New Deal historian William E.

ARCHAEOLOGISTS ARE continually faced with a pervasive problem: how can cultures, and the interactions among cultures, be differentiated in the archaeological record? This issue is especially difficult in peripheral areas, such as El Salvador, Honduras, and southern Guatemala in the New World. Encompassing zones that are clearly Mayan in language and culture, especially during the Classic period, this area also includes zones that seem to be non-Mayan. The Southeast Maya Periphery examines both aspects of this territory.

Immigration raises a number of important moral issues regarding access to the rights and privileges of citizenship. At present, immigrants to most Western democracies must satisfy a range of conditions before achieving citizenship. This book argues that this is unjust and undemocratic, and that there should be a time threshold after which immigrants should either be granted full citizenship rights, or should be awarded nationality automatically, without any conditions.

Few English-speaking readers are familiar with the life or the writings of the sixteenth-century Franciscan chronicler Luis Jer?nimo de Or?, particularly his neglected Relaci?n, about the early Spanish presence in territories now part of the United States. His account of La Florida?an area that in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries included present-day Florida as well as territory north to Virginia and west into Kansas?reflects the desire of the Spanish Crown and various religious orders to explore and to establish a presence in the region. This edition of Luis Jer?nimo de Or?’s work presents readers with a new introduction and an annotated translation that place the text in the broader context of international politics.
