The Ancient Régime
Hippolyte Taine's fame as a historian rests on his monumental six-volume work, The Origins of Contemporary France, an effort to understand the France of his day. The Ancient R gime is the first volume, where, in a scientific fashion, drawing from memoirs, diaries, correspondence, archival material, and the arts, he performs a thorough examination of pre-revolutionary France, beginning with the royalty and the aristocracy, passing through the clergy and the citizenry, and ending with the army. In a highly readable narrative that shows compassion for all the parties involved in the subsequent upheaval, Taine provides an abundance of numbers and facts, which illustrate the centralisation, excesses, and decay of the ancien r gime--cultural, moral, structural, and economic--and show how they laid the foundations for the French Revolution, which occupy the next three volumes of this work. This new edition of John Durand's historic translation has been enhanced with hundreds of footnotes and
The Modern Régime - II
'To treat of the Church, the School, and the Family, describe the modern milieu and note the facilities and obstacles which a society like our own encounters in this milieu,' such was the programme of the last section of The Origins of Contemporary France. The present volume is a continuation of the first part of this programme; after the commune and the department, after local societies, the author was to study moral and intellectual bodies in France as organised by Napoleon. This study completed, this last step taken, he was about to reach the summit. He was about to view France as a whole, to comprehend it no longer through a detail of its organs, in a state of formation, but its actual existence. Sadly, of this last volume only the part relating to the Church and to public instruction was written, for the intervention of death suddenly arrested the pen. Yet, for those who have followed him thus far it is already clear that the great defect of the French community is the

Demokrati på förortska
Förort och integration har de senaste decennierna utvecklat sig till ett mäktigt motsatspar i svensk samhällsdebatt. Miljonprogrammets medialt uppmärksammade bostadsområden runt de stora städerna har lyfts fram som välfärdssamhällets baksida: Det segrerade Sverige. I boken presenterar Adolphe Lawson sin tolkning av den svenska modellen för segregationsbekämpning.
