T he Dis u n ite d S tates Vladimir Pozner
Translated from the French by Alison L. Stayer Vladimir Pozner, French novelist and screenwriter, found the United States and its people in the 1930s in a state of profound material and spiritual crisis, and took it upon himself to chronicle the life of the worker, the striker, the politician, the starlet, the gangster, the everyman; to document the bitter, violent racism tearing its society asunder, the overwhelming despair permeating everyday life, and the unyielding human struggle against it all. “By dint of names, dates, and figures, of classified ads, of sundry facts, of statistics, of the confessions of great writers and of anonymous passersby, of quotations from small-town newspapers and from official discourses, Vladimir Pozner reconstructs, vibrantly, so terribly vibrantly and magnificently, the American civilization.” —Les Lettres Françaises Paper 978-1-60980-531-9 $24.95 416 pages

M o me n ts p o liti q u es Jacques Rancière Translated by Mary Foster
Moments Politiques collects the short essays and interviews of renowned contemporary French philosopher Jacques Rancière from a span of thirty years, 1977 to 2007. By examining the issues in which political moments arise, such as 9/11, immigration laws, and even the philosophy of Foucault, Rancière opens us up to the possibility of a different world, to reimagining, and re-charting, the map of what is possible.
