The Diaspora
The news of their arrival was a very pleasant surprise for Charles who longed to be reunited with his childhood neighbors. The family landed at Lansing airport in two Northwest Airlines planes between 7:00 and 9:00 P.M. a far distance from Port-au-Prince. The winter season was fast approaching that presented an enormous challenge for the Garderes to acclimate themselves to the cold weather with the exception of the eldest Ketly who had attended college on a scholarship to Harvard. She was a brilliant student who exemplified the character of this immigrant family. Upon graduation in 1965 Ketly had returned to her native land to marry her teenage sweetheart.She, her husband and three children would join the entire family in 1975. These ambitious members of the Diaspora would make their mark in the years to come.

Vichy's Afterlife
One of the distinctive features of the "Vichy Syndrome"?the persistence of the memory of the Vichy regime in French political and cultural life?is that it has been extremelyødifficult for an authoritative historical discourse to impose itself. Why does Vichy, and all that the name entails, fascinate and even obsess the French, inflecting not only discussions of the past but of the present as well? In Vichy's Afterlife, Richard J. Golsan explores the complexities of some of the most provocative episodes of Vichy's curious persistence in France's national consciousness. He argues that each of these episodes, events, and scandals constitutes a crossroads where history and "counterhistory"?different or competing versions of the past?encounter one another, often with explosive and even destructive consequences.

The Portrait Bust and French Cultural Politics in the Eighteenth Century
In The Portrait Bust and French Cultural Politics in the Eighteenth Century, Ronit Milano probes the rich and complex aesthetic and intellectual charge of a remarkably concise art form, and explores its role as a powerful agent of epistemological change during one of the most seismic moments in French history. The pre-Revolutionary portrait bust was inextricably tied to the formation of modern selfhood and to the construction of individual identity during the Enlightenment, while positioning both sitters and viewers as part of a collective of individuals who together formed French society. In analyzing the contribution of the portrait bust to the construction of interiority and the formulation of new gender roles and political ideals, this book touches upon a set of concerns that constitute the very core of our modernity.
