"Slavery by Another Name:
The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans
from the Civil War to World War II"
with
author Douglas Blackmon

On land owned by U.S. Steel was an unmarked African
American burial ground – and so began a quest to explore
the institutions and complimentary policies that were
responsible for the Post-Reconstruction re-enslavement of

Foner and Kromm place Obama’s victory in a perspective of
not only the history of racism in this country but the traditional
reactionary role played by the South since Reconstruction. Is
there a different South emerging that could shake up politics
not only in the region but the nation for years to come?****************************************

Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics And The Global
Crisis of American Capitalism"withauthor Kevin Phillips

The author sees the cumulative effects of the current debt crisis,
the depreciation of the dollar and global peak oil as leading not
just to a recession, but a long term crisis significantly impacting
living standards in the U.S. Does this forcast the demise of the
U.S. as the fulcrum of world economic power?
