Un lieu secret
Authors: David Bell
Description: "Pendant des années, Janet pensait avoir vu tout ça, pensait s'en souvenir. Le jeune Noir aux cheveux crépus et aux vêtements sales qui portait son frère sur ses épaules. La tête blonde de Justin dressée haut dans le ciel, presque aussi haut que le sommet de la balançoire. Justin qui paradait comme un champion. Qui tombait dans le piège de cet homme. Avant de se faire enlever. Mais elle ne s'en souvient pas vraiment, si ?" Janet avait sept ans quand son petit frère a été enlevé et tué dans le parc municipal de Dove Point, Ohio. Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, alors que le meurtrier de Justin, Dante Rogers, clame toujours son innocence, Janet en vient à douter de la version des faits qu'elle a donnée à l'époque. Les propres doutes dont lui fait part son ami Michael, présent sur les lieux au moment du drame et revenu depuis peu en ville, ne font qu'ajouter à sa confusion. Quand une journaliste pointe les nombreuses failles de l'enquête menée un quart de siècle plus tôt, la police décide de rouvrir le dossier. Rogers ne faisait-il pas finalement un coupable idéal ? Et si ce n'est pas lui qui a tué Justin, alors qui ? Après le remarquable Fleur de cimetière, David Bell signe un polar subtil sur cette Amérique où la couleur de peau reste un élément à charge.

Civil Disobedience: A-Z entries
Authors: Mary Ellen Snodgrass
Description: Throughout American history, people with strong beliefs that ran counter to society's rules and laws have used civil disobedience to advance their causes. From the Boston Tea Party in 1773, to the Pullman Strike in 1894, to the draft card burnings and sit-ins of more recent times, civil disobedience has been a powerful force for effecting change in American society. This comprehensive A-Z encyclopedia provides a wealth of information on people, places, actions, and events that defied the law to focus attention on an issue or cause. It covers the causes and actions of activists across the political spectrum from colonial times to the present, and includes political, social economic, environmental, and a myriad of other issues. Civil Disobedience ties into all aspects of the American history curriculum, and is a rich source of material for essays and debates on critical issues and events that continue to influence our nation's laws and values. It explores the philosophies, themes, concepts, and practices of activist groups and individuals, as well as the legislation they influenced. A detailed chronology of civil disobedience, listings of acts of conscience and civil disobedience by act and by location, a bibliography of primary and secondary sources, and a comprehensive index complete the set. - Publisher.

Taken together, these fifty essays illuminate the processes of identity formation, whether the great lines of national identity or the personal edges of awareness.
