Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Amerikanistik - Literatur, Note: 1,3, Universität Mannheim, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Begriff American Dream ist in seiner Bedeutung ebenso vage wie ambivalent, auch wenn seine häufige Verwendung in Verbindung mit dem bestimmten Artikel ein eindeutig definiertes Phänomen suggeriert. Gleichwohl ist der amerikanische Traum wesentlicher Bestandteil der nationalen Identität und Symbol des amerikanischen Selbstverständnisses. Bereits das von Thomas Jefferson in der Unabhängigkeitserklärung formulierte, gottgegebene Recht des Menschen auf "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness" kann als eine Urform des amerikanischen Traums gesehen werden, auch wenn sich der Begriff zum ersten Mal erst über 150 Jahre später bei James Truslow Adams findet. Dieser spricht 1931 in seinem Buch The Epic of America von dem "American dream, that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to his ability or achievement." Truslows Definition zufolge scheint sich der amerikanische Traum im Kern auf die Hoffnung eines besseren und glücklicheren Lebens für alle Menschen jeglicher sozialer, ethnischer und religiöser Herkunft zu beziehen. Hierauf deuten auch zahlreiche Aussagen berühmter Amerikaner. So stellt Richard Nixon die materielle Komponente des Traums heraus und nennt "full employment, better housing, excellence in education; in rebuilding our cities and improving our rural areas; in protecting our environment and enhancing the quality of life" als zentrale Elemente. Ronald Reagan erinnert an die Einzigartigkeit des amerikanischen Volkes und hebt den Sonderstatus hervor, welcher den USA in der Welt zukomme. Amerika sei "too great a nation to limit (them)selves to small dreams." Jesse Jackson und Martin Luther King träumen von Freiheit und Gleichheit für alle Bürger, insbesondere für die afroamerikanische Bevölkerung. Und Bill Clinton betont die universelle Gültigkeit des amerikanischen Traums, welcher jeden Bürger am Erfolg partizipieren lasse, solange er hart und rechtschaffen arbeite.

A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK In time for the 250th Anniversary of the birth of the United States comes a sweeping, intimate portrayal of Abigail Adams-wife of one president and mother to another-whose wit, willpower, and wisdom helped shape the fledgling republic. A stunning historical novel with modern-day implications from the New York Times bestselling authors of America's First Daughter and My Dear Hamilton. In the heart of revolutionary Boston, Abigail Adams raises her children amid riots, blockades, and the outbreak of war. While her husband, John Adams, rises from country lawyer to nation-builder, often away for years at a time, Abigail builds her own independence-managing their farm, making lucrative investments, amassing savings, battling plague and loss, and defending their home. Unafraid to speak her mind, she famously offers fearless political counsel, urging John to "remember the ladies" in the new government. Through it all, she becomes his most trusted confidante and indispensable ally. When peace is secured, Abigail steps onto the world stage-exchanging ideas with Thomas Jefferson in the French countryside, navigating court life as the wife of the Minister to Great Britain, and presiding over the parlor politics of the early American republic in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. Even after her husband's presidential administration, she continues battling political foes and working behind the scenes to advance her family, secure independence for the women in her life, and ensure a better life for the next generation of Americans. From war-torn streets to the chandeliered halls of power, A Founding Mother is the unforgettable story of a woman ahead of her time-one whose voice, vision, and valor still resonate powerfully today.

Die USA sind die älteste (Medien-)Demokratie der Welt. Franklin D. Roosevelt unterhielt sich in den dreißiger Jahren bei den »Fireside Chats« per Radio mit den Wählern, John F. Kennedy war der erste Präsident des TV-Zeitalters, 2008 kommt die nächste Medienrevolution: Barack Obama und John McCain kämpfen vor allem im Internet um Stimmen, werben auf MySpace und sammeln so Millionen an Spendengeldern und rekrutieren eine Armee von Graswurzelaktivisten. Tobias Moorstedt erkundet in seiner Reportage, wie die politische Software den demokratischen Prozeß verändert. Er trifft junge Texaner, die durch das Netz mit liberalen Gedanken in Kontakt kommen, begleitet Bürgerjournalisten und spricht mit Internetstrategen und Bloggern – den Meinungsführern des 21. Jahrhunderts.

Brad Thor, master of suspense and New York Times bestselling author of The First Commandment, returns with his highest-voltage thriller to date. In a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-charged tour de force, Navy SEAL turned covert Homeland Security operative Scot Harvath must race to locate an ancient secret that has the power to stop militant Islam dead in its tracks. June 632 A.D.: Deep within the Uranah Valley of Mount Arafat in Mecca, the Prophet Mohammed shares with his closest companions a final and startling revelation. Within days, he is assassinated. September 1789: U.S. Minister to France Thomas Jefferson, who is charged with forging a truce with the violent Muslim pirates of the Barbary Coast, makes a shocking discovery - one that could forever impact the world's relationship with Islam. Present day: When a car bomb explodes outside a Parisian caf, Scot Harvath is thrust back into the life he has tried so desperately to leave behind. Saving the intended victim of the attack, Harvath becomes party to an amazing and perilous race to uncover a secret so powerful that militant Islam could be defeated once and for all without firing another shot, dropping another bomb, or launching another covert action. But as desperate as the American government is to have the information brought to light, there are powerful forces aligned against it - men who are just as determined that Mohammed's mysterious final revelation continue to remain hidden forever. What Jason Bourne was to the Cold War, Scot Harvath is to the War on Terror. Brad Thor has created ""the perfect all-American hero for the post September 11 world"" (Nelson DeMille) and will keep readers glued to the pages as he once again takes them across the globe on a heart-pounding chase where the stakes are higher than they have ever been before.

A New York Times Bestseller & the Basis for the Hit Showtime Docuseries Murder in the Bayou is a New York Times bestselling chronicle of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Southern parish that is "part murder case, part corruption exposé, and part Louisiana noir" (New York magazine). Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered in Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the Jefferson Davis parish. The women came to be known as the Jeff Davis 8, and local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, stirring a wave of panic across Jennings' class-divided neighborhoods. The Jeff Davis 8 had been among society's most vulnerable—impoverished, abused, and mired with mental illness. They engaged in sex work as a means of survival. And their underworld activity frequently occurred at a decrepit motel called the Boudreaux Inn. As the cases went unsolved, the community began to look inward. Rumors of police corruption and evidence tampering, of collusion between street and shield, cast the serial killer theory into doubt. But what was really going on in the humid rooms of the Boudreaux Inn? Why were crimes going unsolved and police officers being indicted? What had the eight women known? And could anything be done do stop the bloodshed? Mixing muckraking research and immersive journalism over the course of a five-year investigation, Ethan Brown reviewed thousands of pages of previously unseen homicide files to posit what happened during each woman's final hours delivering a true crime tale that is "mesmerizing" (Rolling Stone) and "explosive" (Huffington Post). "Brown is a man on a mission...he gives the victims more respectful attention than they probably got in real life" (The New York Times). "A must-read for true-crime fans" (Publishers Weekly, starred review), with a new afterword, Murder in the Bayou is the story of an American town buckling under the dark forces of poverty, race, and class division—and a lightning rod for justice for the daughters it lost.

'S. A. Cosby's novels always hit the grand slam of crime fiction' MICHAEL CONNELLY 'American crime fiction has found its future and his name is S.A. Cosby' DENNIS LEHANE A son returning home. A dangerous debt. Secrets about to ignite . . . and a family consumed by flames. Roman Carruthers left the smoke and fire of his family's crematory business behind in his hometown of Jefferson Run, Virginia. He is enjoying a life of shallow excess as a financial adviser in Atlanta until he gets a call from his sister, Neveah, telling him their father is in a coma after a hit-and-run accident. When Roman goes home, he learns the accident may not be what it seems. His brother, Dante, is deeply in debt to dangerous, ruthless criminals. And Roman is willing to do anything to protect his family. Anything. A financial whiz with a head for numbers and a talent for making his clients rich, Roman must use all his skills to try to save his family while dealing with a shadow that has haunted them all for twenty years: the disappearance of their mother when Roman and his siblings were teenagers. It's a mystery that Neveah, who has sacrificed so much of her life to hold her family together, is determined to solve once and for all. As fate and chance and heartache ignite their lives, the Carruthers family must pull together to survive or see their lives turn to ash. Because, as their father counseled them from birth, nothing lasts forever. Everything burns. Praise for S. A. Cosby: 'Sensationally good' LEE CHILD 'Exhilarating' STEPHEN KING 'Stunning. Can't remember the last time I read such a powerful crime novel' MARK BILLINGHAM 'S. A. Cosby is a welcome, refreshing new voice in crime literature' DENNIS LEHANE 'Every once in a while a writer comes along with an incredible voice...add S. A. Cosby to that list' STEVE CAVANAGH 'Elegant, fierce storytelling at its absolute best.' DAILY MAIL

Gold Winner of the 2008 Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Award, Biography Category Brings to life the inspiring story of one of America's Black Founding Fathers, featured in the forthcoming documentary The Black Church: This is Our Story, This is Our Song Freedom's Prophet is a long-overdue biography of Richard Allen, founder of the first major African American church and the leading black activist of the early American republic. A tireless minister, abolitionist, and reformer, Allen inaugurated some of the most important institutions in African American history and influenced nearly every black leader of the nineteenth century, from Douglass to Du Bois. Born a slave in colonial Philadelphia, Allen secured his freedom during the American Revolution, and became one of the nation's leading black activists before the Civil War. Among his many achievements, Allen helped form the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, co-authored the first copyrighted pamphlet by an African American writer, published the first African American eulogy of George Washington, and convened the first national convention of Black reformers. In a time when most Black men and women were categorized as slave property, Allen was championed as a Black hero. In this thoroughly engaging and beautifully written book, Newman describes Allen's continually evolving life and thought, setting both in the context of his times. From Allen's early antislavery struggles and belief in interracial harmony to his later reflections on Black democracy and Black emigration, Newman traces Allen's impact on American reform and reformers, on racial attitudes during the years of the early republic, and on the Black struggle for justice in the age of Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Washington. Whether serving as Americas first Black bishop, challenging slave-holding statesmen in a nation devoted to liberty, or visiting the President's House (the first Black activist to do so), this important book makes it clear that Allen belongs in the pantheon of Americas great founding figures. Freedom's Prophet reintroduces Allen to today's readers and restores him to his rightful place in our nation's history.

"Aus der Sicht der Praxis ist dies ein wirklich herausragendes Arbeitsbuch, das ein Bestseller in seinem Feld werden könnte. Es bietet einen wunderbaren Überblick hinsichtlich der Triggerpunkte, die eine Hauptursache für die Frozen Shoulder (oder Steife Schulter) darstellen. Ich kann dieses Buch allen empfehlen, die mit dem Phänomen und der Behandlung der Frozen Shoulder befasst sind, Ärzten und Therapeuten ebenso wie Patienten, deren Partnern und Familienangehörigen." - Dieter PONGRATZ, em. Professor der Medizinischen Klinik der LMU München und vormaliger Leiter des Friedrich-Baur-Instituts München Clair Davies beschreibt in diesem neuen Arbeits- und Übungsbuch ausführlich den Zusammenhang zwischen Schulterschmerzen und zumeist damit einhergehenden Triggerpunkten … und wie man mit Hilfe gezielter Triggerpunkt-Selbstmassage sich dauerhaft von der Geisel Schulterschmerzen befreien kann. Detaillierte Anleitungen machen die Vorgehensweise anschaulich und leicht nachvollziehbar. Hierzu dienen auch die rund 350 Abbildungen für eine erfolgreiche Triggerpunkt-Selbstmassage. Clair Davies, der ehemals den Beruf des Klaviertechnikers ausübte, litt selbst an Schultersteife. Um sich helfen zu können, vertiefte er sich intensiv in die Triggerpunkt-Behandlung und schrieb aufgrund dieser Studien sein "Arbeitsbuch Triggerpunkt-Therapie", das international ein Bestseller geworden ist. In seinem, nun auch auf Deutsch vorliegenden zweiten Buch hat sich der Autor und Selbsthilfe-Trainer die weit verbreiteten Schulterprobleme zum Thema genommen und das zur Zeit wohl ausführlichste und umfassendste Handbuch für Probleme im Schulterbereich vorgelegt. Das Buch eignet sich sowohl für die Selbst- und die Partnerbehandlung als auch für Physiotherapeuten, die ihre Kenntnisse in der immer wichtiger werdenden Anwendung der Triggerpunkt-Massage vervollständigen wollen. Schultersteife, die gängigste Bezeichnung für verschiedene Symptome, die das Schultergelenk und die zugehörigen Sehnen betreffen, äußert sich in Form einer Verringerung der Beweglichkeit im Bereich der Schultern und Oberarme sowie in Form von Schmerzen. Schulmedizinische Behandlungen beschränken sich zumeist auf Schmerzmittel, Kortisoninjektionen und Physiotherapie und lindern oft weder die Symptome noch heilen sie wirklich. Eine Triggerpunkt-Massage hingegen bringt oft echte und dauerhafte Linderung. Sie konzentriert sich auf druckempfindliche Punkte im weichen Gewebe. Anwender dieser dieser immer bekannter werdenden erfolgreichen Behandlungsmethode können damit ihre Schmerzen lindern, die Bewegungsfähigkeit verbessern und die Genesungszeit verkürzen. "Clair Davies ist es hervorragend gelungen, ein schwieriges Thema verständlich zu machen und zu vereinfachen, das selbst für erfahrene Kliniker immer wieder eine Herausforderung ist. Seine Darstellung der funktionellen Anatomie und Kinesiologie der Schulter und der zentralen Rolle der Muskeln bei der Kontrolle der Schulter ist auch für Ärzte und Physiotherapeuten eine willkommene Bereicherung. Seine übersichtlichen Diagramme und verständlichen Beschreibungen ermöglichen auch allen, die nicht über anatomische und medizinische Kenntnisse verfügen, die Problematik zu verstehen. Am wichtigsten jedoch ist, daß der Autor ganz konkret Möglichkeiten aufzeigt, Triggerpunkte effektiv zu behandeln, die meiner Auffassung nach in den meisten Fällen die wichtigste Ursache für Schulterschmerzen und Schultersteife sind. Ich empfehle dieses Buch allen Menschen mit Schulterschmerzen und speziell auch Klinikern, die Patienten mit Schulterschmerzen diagnostizieren und behandeln." – Bryan J. O`NEILL, MD, klinischer Assistenzprofessor im Department of Rehabilitation Medicine an der Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES  What if America had a royal family? If you can't get enough of Harry and Meghan or Kate and William, meet American princesses Beatrice and Samantha. Crazy Rich Asians meets The Crown. Perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and The Royal We! Two princesses vying for the ultimate crown. Two girls vying for the prince's heart. This is the story of the American royals. When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne. Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an heir and a spare. A future monarch and a backup battery. Each child knows exactly what is expected of them. But these aren't just any royals. They're American. As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America's first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. Nobody cares about the spare except when she's breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn't care much about anything, either . . . except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. And then there's Samantha's twin, Prince Jefferson. If he'd been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince . . . but two very different girls are vying to capture his heart. The duty. The intrigue. The Crown. New York Times bestselling author Katharine McGee imagines an alternate version of the modern world, one where the glittering age of monarchies has not yet faded--and where love is still powerful enough to change the course of history. "The lives of the American royal family will hook you in the very first pages and never let go. Relatable, believable, fantastical, aspirational, and completely addictive." --Sara Shepard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars and Perfectionists series

In the tradition of Sebastian Junger's Tribe and Chris Hedges's classic War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning, a powerful investigation into the fraught history and ominous future of military education in the United States, and how it formed and fuels increasingly volatile strains of American masculinity. "Send us your boy and we will return to you a man." Since the dawn of America, the military has articulated some version of this pledge, solidly staking its claim on the monumental work of building the American man. When investigative reporter Jasper Craven first dug into Valley Forge Military Academy five years ago, he uncovered an acrid strain of masculinity that was raw, violent, fiercely hierarchical, and quickly mutating out of control. Initially, he had assumed that military education was a dying, outmoded brand. But as he looked deeper, he found a sprawling, well-funded network featuring dozens of military schools, like Valley Forge and West Point, plus thousands of ROTC programs in public colleges and high schools that allowed the Pentagon to wield outsized power on education. In an unflinching narrative, Craven explores how the military has come to define American masculinity and how it often fosters its most toxic traits. Beginning with the American Revolution, Craven shows how the birth of our nation required a new masculine ideal, crafted in the image of George Washington. During the brutality of the Civil War, Craven traces the parallel violence in military hazing culture and the deeply prejudicial culture at places like West Point, which reared Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and other famed Confederates. The first and second World Wars escalated the need for battle-ready youth, and briefly resulted in a relatively noble male archetype, while the Cold War precipitated backlash, resentment, and trauma. This era also marked the beginning of the Christian right's growing interest in military schools as upholding a patriarchal and fatalistic version of manhood. Vietnam and the antiwar movement fueled the rise of the "troubled teen" and the lying, lawless "operator," embodied by graduates such as William Westmoreland and Oliver North. As he chronicles the forever wars, Craven brings us up to today, where the military has further burrowed into civilian education. Meanwhile, policies like "don't ask, don't tell" and a campaign of Islamophobia, misogyny, and homophobia have crafted a new manhood that is defined by its ability to both diminish and dehumanize "the other" while also being self-destructive. Its exemplars include such military school graduates as Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. Part sweeping military history, part gripping journalistic investigation, God Forgives, Brothers Don't lifts the veil on the harmful world of military schools and provides essential context and nuance to the ongoing debate on American masculinity.
