Merchants of Truth
Former executive editor of The New York Times and one of our most eminent journalists Jill Abramson provides a “valuable and insightful” (The Boston Globe) report on the disruption of the news media over the last decade, as shown via two legacy (The New York Times and The Washington Post) and two upstart (BuzzFeed and VICE) companies as they plow through a revolution that pits old vs. new media. “A marvelous book” (The New York Times Book Review), Merchants of Truth is the groundbreaking and gripping story of the precarious state of the news business. The new digital reality nearly kills two venerable newspapers with an aging readership while creating two media behemoths with a ballo...
America Matters
America matters to the world. This democratic republic has held a pre-eminence globally for more than a century. Its economic and military might have established an order within the world. This world order is now under threat from both without and within. The spotlight is on the United States of America. Many of us around the planet are looking to see what kind of response this will engender. There are forces of what could be called good and bad wrestling for the soul of America. What and who will triumph is of paramount interest to people far and wide. As an historian, I am interested in the how and why questions in relation to where America finds itself today. Many historians of American history and knowledgeable pundits describe the republic as ‘the American experiment’. This gives the whole thing a much more acceptably volatile reading. However, when you combine that with the superpower status of the USA it makes for an uncomfortable realization of where America and the world might be heading. As an observer of the place, it calls for deeper digging into who and what America actually is. 350 pages

Benevolent Intentions
Fredric Muir explores a period of American history that is “difficult knowledge”: the country’s determination to be a member of the imperial era’s club of colonizing nations. While the book’s characters are Christian religious liberals in particular, what is surprising is not that they were in positions to direct and enforce colonial hegemony but that there were so many of them; in fact, there was a disproportionately large number of religious liberals in positions of authority and leadership. Addressing topics that are still current, this book describes the intersection of religious liberalism and imperialism and identifies those who were in positions of power while observing what it was about the liberal Christian faith that was informing them (and the limited and failed resistance of the anti-imperialist and anti-immigration movements). The results have been lasting and continue as headline news.
