        Jeder Tag gehört dem Dieb

        Roman

        by Teju Cole, Christine Richter-Nilsson

        Ein junger New Yorker mit nigerianischen Wurzeln kehrt nach Nigeria zurück. Er wohnt in Lagos bei Verwandten, trifft alte Freunde, durchstreift die Straßen der Stadt seiner Kindheit. Doch die ist ein Moloch: jeder Beamte korrupt, jede Begegnung ein Wagnis, jede Nacht ein vergeblicher Versuch, Ruhe zu finden. Und jeder Tag ein Spiegel, in dem er sich selbst immer klarer sieht. Er erlebt die Stadt wie eine große, schrecklich enttäuschende Liebe. Soll er bleiben oder fliehen? »Ein phantastisches Buch … Memoir, Reportage, Selbstbetrachtung, Literaturgeschichte. Ein Bericht auch über die Schule der Gewalt, über die Ursprünge der Massenmorde von Boko Haram im Norden Nigerias.« Volker Weidermann, FAS »Ein lebenspralles Buch von der Verzweiflung eines Nigerianers über seine Heimat, die ihn zugleich anzieht und abstösst.« Regula Freuler, NZZ »Mühelos erzählt und voll sinnlicher, bisweilen magischer und aufwühlender Bilder … große Literatur.« Jan Wilm, FAZ

        Emmanuel Macron and the two years that changed France

        by Alistair Cole

        This book looks at the period 2015-18 in French politics, a turbulent time that witnessed the apparent collapse of the old party system, the taming of populist and left-wing challenges to the Republic and the emergence of a new political order centred on President Emmanuel Macron. The election of Macron was greeted with relief in European chancelleries and appeared to give a new impetus to European integration, even accomplishing the feat of making France attractive after a long period of French bashing and reflexive decline. But what is the real significance of the Macron presidency? Is it as transformative as it appears? Emmanuel Macron and the two years that changed France provides a balanced answer to this pressing question. It is written to appeal to a general readership with an interest in French and European politics, as well as to students and scholars of French politics.

        Redefining the French Republic

        by Alistair Cole, Gino Raymond

        Newly available in paperback, Redefining the French Republic is an innovative work. Explicitly adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book investigates continuity and change in contemporary French politics, society and culture. The chapters go beyond the familiar question of whether the Republic is acting in accordance with its vocation, to address the issue of whether that vocation is still viable. Drawing on contributions that reflect a variety of methodological approaches, ranging from theoretical speculations and modelling to the interpretation of fieldwork data, this study examines the dynamics of the relationship between the Republic and its constituencies, in the fields of political relations, territorial identities, social movements, public policy and foreign policy, and in each context juxtaposing what is perceived as the model for that relationship with the current reality. France in the twenty-first century is facing challenges that could not have been imagined a generation ago. The test for the Republic is whether it will resist the ongoing pressures for redefinition imposed by internal contestation and the emergence of powerful supranational and global forces, or whether it will find a way of adapting to these pressures while preserving a part of the vocation and ambition that make it characteristically French. The book concludes that, though the French polity remains characteristically different from other models of modern liberal democracy, internal and external pressures have challenged the republican model to the core. ;
