Im Zuge der Französischen Revolution entsteht eine säkulare Ehegesetzgebung, die einen metaphorischen Überschuss produziert, der bis heute wirksam ist. Das Buch zeichnet rechtshistorisch und anhand kanonischer literarischer Texte von Rousseau über Goethe und Manzoni bis hin zu Hugo und Flaubert nach, wie die Ehe um 1800 zu einer Reflexionsfigur für den modernen Nationalstaat werden konnte. Dabei entstehen originelle Beiträge zur Philologie der einzelnen Texte. Zugleich werden Recht und Literatur für eine historische Semantik von Gesellschaft und Gemeinschaft fruchtbar gemacht.This is the graphic history of the 2001 Cincinnati riots, told for the first time from the perspective of the…
participants. When Timothy Thomas, a 19 year old black man, was fatally shot by police, the city broke out into nonviolent civil disobedience that was met with further police violence. This was the first major uprising of the 21st Century, matched only the LA riots a decade before and the protests in Ferguson over a decade later. Author and illustrator Dan Mendez Moore was 17 at the time and participated in the six days of protests that shook the city between Thomas's death and his funeral. Mendez Moore's comics journalism account sensitively captures a fiery moment in U.S. history through interviews with protestors, community leaders, bystanders, and a frustrated looter. He portrays the tension of a city boiling over, political leaders taking advantage, and an inner-city community coming together. Six Days in Cincinnati is an all-American story of systemic racism and the power of popular movements, more relevant today than ever before.The Liar: It takes one to catch one. (Eddie Flynn Ser.)

By Hilda Glynn-Ward, Patricia Roy. 1974
With tales of a gruesome murder, a typhoid epidemic, corrupt politicians, and a Japanese invasion, The Writing on the Wall…
was intended to shock its readers when it was published in 1921. Thinly disguised as a novel, it is a propaganda tract exhorting white British Columbians to greater vigilance to prevent greedy politicians from selling out to the Chinese and Japanese. It was also designed to convince eastern Canada of British Columbia's need for protections against an onslaught of the 'yellow peril.'This novel is not exceptional in its extreme racism; it reiterates almost every anti-oriental cliché circulating in British Columbia at the time of its publication. While modern readers will find the story horrifying and unbelievable, it is in fact based on real incidents. Many of the views expressed were only exaggerated versions of ideas held throughout the country about non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants. The Writing on the Wall is a vivid illustration of the fear and prejudice with which immigrants were regarded in the early twentieth century.
