Throughout 1985-86 China's orthodox leaders waged a propaganda campaign against the reform programme that anticipated the subsequent attack on "bourgeois liberalization" which followed Hu Yaobang's resignation as general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party in January 1987. The article explores conservative criticism of the reform programme sponsored by Deng Xiaoping since 1978. According to the author, conservatives aim to preserve the puritanical, yet disciplined, "socialist mass culture" created since 1949. (DÜI-Sen)

How did democracy become so vulnerable in America? Donald Trump is a shrill warning of the political system's fragility, but he alone is not the problem. The vulnerability is broader and deeper-and looms still. Even before Trump ran for president, his disdain for the rules and norms of democracy and the US Constitution was well-known by many prominent Republicans who were unable to stop his nomination. Trump's presidency is the culmination of a series of political decisions since the late 18th century that ceded party nominations to small cliques of ideologues. Democracy Under Fire provides a readable, if disturbing, history of American democracy and proposes recommendations to restore it.

"Widely considered the most complex of human emotions, romantic love both shapes and reflects core societal values, its expression offering a window into the cultural zeitgeist. In popular culture, romantic love has long been a mainstay of film, television and music. The gap between fictitious narratives of love and real-life ones is, however, usually wide-American's expectations of romance and affection often transcend reality. Tracing the history of love in American culture, this book offers insight into both the national character and emotional nature."--
