From Rage to Rap and Prison to Print:

Josephine Metcalf

1. Introduction By the late 1980s, while thousands of former gang members were either dead or incarcerated, their legacy and the gang subculture was being celebrated and commodified through gangsta rap music and videos, film and fashion. In the early 1990s this lucrative cultural trend sparked interest from potential authors and publishers. Such literary attention was partially fuelled by a public fascination with life in the ghettos following the 1992 Los Angeles (LA) riots, resulting in a new (...)

Contemporary Hollywood Crime Film and the New Individualism

Luis M. García-Mainar

This article focuses on contemporary Hollywood films Silver City (2004), The Constant Gardener (2005) and The Departed (2006) in order to examine the intersection of the cultural discourse of the New Individualism, characterized by the helplessness and anxiety of the subject in the face of social change, with the generic conventions of the crime film. It explores the ways in which such conventions as crosscutting and suspense, the victim-hero of the thriller, or the trope of self-asserti (...)

T. Tsimpouki on M. Boyden’s Predicting the Past, The Paradoxes of American Literary History

Boyden, Michael. Predicting the Past, The paradoxes of American Literary History. Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2009. pp. 215. In recent years Michael Boyden’s research interests have focused on literary history and canon formation as well as on multilingualism and translation in literature. Boyden has masterfully combined these threads in his new book-length study of American literary history and of the paradoxes of its institutional formation. As the title seeks to convey, Predicting t (...)

Are Immigrants Disloyal? The Case of Mexicans in the U.S.

Krystof Kozak

This article analyzes the concept of political loyalty in the context of mass migration flows to the U.S. After exploring the evolving notion of political loyalty, it provides a brief historical background of concerns about the political disloyalty of immigrants in the U.S. Based on a review of current literature and surveys, the case of Mexican immigrants as the biggest immigration group is then analyzed in more detail. It is argued that even though immigrants from Mexico are at times accused (...)

Herbert Hoover and the Organization of the American Relief Effort in Poland (1919-1923)

Matthew Lloyd Adams

Poland, recreated after the armistice of 1918, was confronted at its rebirth with four very severe challenges: welding together the separate sections of the dissected country, which for many decades had been under the rule of Prussia-Germany, Austria and Russia; creating a functioning administration and military force for the country; ensuring the recovery of agriculture, which, during World War I, had seriously declined; and restarting industries destroyed or closed during foreign military oc (...)

Washington-Miami-Havana 1999-2009: Towards the End of a Ménage à Trois ?

Isabelle Vagnoux

Although comparatively recent immigrants and a very small group of hardly more than 1.3 million, Cuban Americans have been very influential in Washington’s confrontational policy toward Cuba over the past thirty years. While the end of the Cold War should have undermined the rationale for the embargo, they maintained a hard line on Cuba and proved quite convincing in their arguments with both the Clinton and the George W. Bush Administrations. This piece focuses on the past decade and will exp (...)

New Haven: Princeton University Press, 2009. 280 pp. ISBN 978-0691139081 In one of their less astute observations the authors of Paying the Human Costs of War suggest ‘that the United States does not go to war often’ (67). While war and public opinion is a notoriously difficult subject to study, few countries offer as great an opportunity to s (...)
