Magic at Midnight

"Here is an ideal reminder of how and why American presidential elections and therefore the presidency itself have changed so radically since the time of the elder George Bush. Anthony J. Bennett's analytic passages are on the money. His narrative chapters fairly race along, written with verve and laced with humour. He reckons that now is 'a time to heal' but knows that little healing in American political life is going on or is likely to in this generation. A sad story, but essential." - Anthony King, University of Essex, author of The Founding Fathers v. the People: Paradoxes of American Democracy

"US politics is a full-contact sport, and never more so than at election time. The second volume in Anthony J. Bennett's series on modern US elections offers a first-class introduction to a topic that is by turns complex, tedious, misunderstood and utterly compelling. The accessible prose and engaging style of The Battle for the White House from Bush to Obama successfully blends the 'dry' but important aspects of the topic, such as the practicalities of caucusing, with such gripping events as Bush v. Gore and the 'Hope and Change' promise of Obama's 2008 victory. I will be recommending this useful scholarly tool without hesitation to my undergraduate US Politics students. I know they will find it as engaging and informative a read as I have." - Clodagh Harrington, Senior Lecturer in US Politics, De Montfort University, UK

'This engaging, ambitious and sometimes disturbing volume brings home the complexity of the challenges the United States faces as it tries to define and promote US interests amidst the ambiguity and contradictory pressures of the Middle East . . . Compelling reading.'
- Australian Journal of International Affairs

'The experts collected here appraise U.S. policy toward the vast array of countries from the Maghreb to Afghanistan, covering essentially the first two years of Barack Obama's presidency and comparing his performance and policies with those of his predecessor. More comprehensive than most such works, the book includes the often overlooked Central Asian states and Somalia.'
- Foreign Affairs

'In Akbarzadeh's compilation, the United States' strategic relationships in the Middle East are evaluated in light of recent events, from the beginning of Obama's presidency to the revolutions which characterized the 2011 Arab Spring. The articles bring together a wide range of scholars who write about subjects as diverse as the challenges confronting the Obama Administration in Afghanistan, the risk of the US losing its moral appeal in Central Asia, and the decisions the US must make in supporting Egypt's transition to democracy.'
- Middle East Journal

'This insightful overview of the U.S. struggle to redefine its position in the Middle East after the end of the Cold War shows that a new coherent policy is still work in progress at best.'

“Making culture count: The politics of cultural measurement focuses on the ever-present issues of measurement and meaning in articulating value for cultural policy practices and research. … I would recommend this book for cultural policy scholars and practitioners, and even activists, as well as those interested in indicators of the social and development studies more broadly.” (Susan Oman, Cultural Trends, April, 2016)"Here is where the rubber meets the road: how much does a critical cultural studies have to contribute to the lived lives of culture? Read this insightful and diverse collection of perspectives on the theory, history and purposes of cultural indicators to find out. A pathway toward democratizing the measurement of culture and cultural value is mapped out in this excellent book.
