Most historical scholarship concerned with the Fronde has investigated the Parlement of Paris. By focusing on the different experience of high court judges in Aix-en-Provence, Sharon Kettering illuminates the causes of resistance to royal authority and offers a new understanding of the role of provincial officials in seventeenth-century revolts. The author shows that political tensions and alignments within the court and provincial capital were as important in causing the revolts at Aix as the judges' relationship with the crown. Describing the liaisons and personalities that gave impetus t.

"Unknown to many, Alabama has played a remarkable role in a number of Supreme Court rulings that continue to touch the lives of every American. In Alabama Justice: The Cases and Faces That Changed a Nation, Steven P. Brown has identified eight landmark cases that deal with religion, voting rights, libel, gender discrimination, and other issues, all originating from legal disputes in Alabama. Written in a concise and accessible manner, each case law chapter begins with the circumstances that created the dispute. Brown then provides historical and constitutional background for the issue followed by a review of the path of litigation. Excerpts from the Court's ruling in the case are also presented, along with a brief account of the aftermath and significance of the decision. The First Amendment (New York Times v. Sullivan), racial redistricting (Gomillion v. Lightfoot), the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (Frontiero v. Richardson), and prayer in public schools (Wallace v. Jaffree) are among the pivotal issues stamped indelibly by disputes with their origins in Alabama legal, political, and cultural landscapes. In addition to his analysis of cases, Brown discusses the three associate justices sent from Alabama to the Supreme Court-John McKinley, John Archibald Campbell, and Hugo Black-whose cumulative influence on the institution of the Court, constitutional interpretation, and the day-to-day rights and liberties enjoyed by every American is impossible to measure. A closing chapter examines the careers and contributions of these three Alabamians"--

A study of rural politics in France during the Second Republic (1846-1852) which draws on many regional studies to explore this neglected period. This book aims to show that rural politics were both more complex and more threatening to urban elites than has been generally recognized

Personal recollection of Hays' campaign defeats of 1928, 1930 and 1933 and career in government administration positions ; -4- retire from politics for a while (and in 1930 I wasn't ready to do that ). Refusal to make that race would have been disastrous. It would have meant showing a white flag when thousands with whom I had been identified were demanding a battle. I knew that they were right, too - that the crowd in power ought to be put out, and I accepted their argument that I was the only person who had a chance to do the trick. On the other side of the picture were those who considered it a hopeless race and didn't want me sacrificed. My father, a political war horse himself, was in that group. He had financed my 1928 race. In a very proper sense I was his "investment" and he argued that I shouldn't take the chance. He was intensely serious about it and he was used to having his way when I was involved. For the first time in my life I was prepared to displease him about a major matter. I recall vividly the circumstances under which I made known to him that I would have to make the race. It was an ordeal for both of us. He didn't let anyone except my mother, who never complained to me about it, know how hurt he was and he came on in to the headquarters to help direct the campaign. The first campaign, while physically exacting, was a continuing pleasure, but the 1930 race was different. That was the drought year. Suffering was widespread for relief agencies had not been organized outside the cities. I won't forget the picture of despondent men and women gathered at villages to talk about their troubles and to plan feebly for some form of relief. Children stood on the roadside offering for sale to candidates whatever the household possessed that the family could do without. It was a good year to get votes with slush funds and our opposition had all the money they could use (the result of campaign assessment upon road contractors and office holders).

Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins (Northern Paiute) has long been recognized as an important nineteenth-century American Indian activist and writer. Yet her acclaimed performances and speaking tours across the United States, along with the copious newspaper articles that grew out of those tours, have been largely ignored and forgotten. The Newspaper Warrior presents new material that enhances public memory as the first volume to collect hundreds of newspaper articles, letters to the editor, advertisements, book reviews, and editorial comments by and about Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. This anthology gathers together her literary production for newspapers and magazines from her 1864 performances in San Francisco to her untimely death in 1891, focusing on the years 1879 to 1887, when Winnemucca Hopkins gave hundreds of lectures in the eastern and western United States; published her book, Life among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims (1883); and established a bilingual school for Native American children. Editors Cari M. Carpenter and Carolyn Sorisio masterfully assemble these exceptional and long-forgotten articles in a call for a deeper assessment and appreciation of Winnemucca Hopkins's stature as a Native American author, while also raising important questions about the nature of Native American literature and authorship.
