"An on-the-ground history of ordinary Americans who took to the streets when political issues became personal. It is widely believed that Americans of the 1970s and '80s were exhausted by the upheavals of the '60s and eager to retreat to the private realm. When they did take action, it was mainly to express their disillusionment with government by supporting the right. In fact, as Michael Stewart Foley shows, neither of these assumptions is correct. On the community level, the 1970s and '80s saw vibrant new forms of political activity emerge. Tenants challenged landlords, farmers practiced civil disobedience to protect their land, and laid-off workers asserted a right to own their idled factories. Activists fought to defend the traditional family or to expand the rights of women, while entire towns organized to protest the toxic sludge in their basements. In all these arenas, Americans were propelled by their own experiences into the public sphere. Disregarding conventional ideas of "left" and "right," they turned to political action when they perceived an immediate threat to the safety and security of their families, homes, or dreams. Front Porch Politics is a people's history told through on-the-ground experiences. Recalling crusades famous and forgotten, Foley shows how Americans followed their outrage into the streets. Their distinctive style of visceral, local, and highly personal activism remains a vital resource for the renewal of American democracy"--

To date, little research has documented the international diffusion of financial economics. Financial economics was supposedly "introduced" in France in the 1970s. Some analysts have argued that it is an American author—Leonard J. Savage—who allowed French authors to rediscover Louis Bachelier's work, indicating that "a prophet is not without honor, save in his own country." The present article challenges this conventional narrative and studies for the first time how financial economics was disseminated in France between the mid-1970s and the early 1980s. It shows that, when financial economics was "imported" from the United States in France in 1970s, some pioneering French contributions have been taught for almost a century. Based on this result, the article explains why the French authors who disseminated these ideas rarely referred to the works of French forerunners. It also clarifies the role of the French economists in this process. All of this suggests that the "import" of financial economics in France was in fact a reintroduction.

Explores the relationship between the African National Conference (ANC), as movement & resistance symbol, & the Inkatha movement of nkosi Mangosuthu Buthelezi during the 1970s & 1980s, highlighting Inkatha's perception & presentation of the ANC. The argument is that Inkatha leadership had not only the ideological pressure, but the opportunity to place the movement in an ANC resistance history that was also populist, denying class & other divisions. However, Inkatha was never able to escape its political location with the KwaZulu ethnic bantustan. Thus, the ANC was driven to an uncompromising position through the rise of internal resistance from the late-1970s. 35 References. Adapted from the source document.
