Who's Running America
by Thomas R. Dye
Arguing that the power in America is concentrated in large institutions, this book studies the people at the top of these institutions—who they are, how much power they wield, and how they came to power. Tom Dye has chronicled the national leadership since the Nixon-Ford years, each edition featuring the current president and his staff. The seventh edition focuses on the new Bush administration and the contrast it will bring to Washington following 8 years of Clinton dominance. The commentary is supported by years of data analysis involving more than 7000 institutional elites, which includes governmental and corporate leaders. This edition describes the return of the Bush dynasty to power. It includes a new chapter on “The Money Elite”, describing the power of the banking and financial community as well as the Federal Reserve Board; Chapter 7 now covers important issues concerning elite interlocking, recruitment, social characteristics, class, and factionalism; the discussion of “How Institutional Leaders Make Public Policy” has been expanded greatly in Chapter 8; several discussions have been added, including “The Globalization of Economic Power,” “The Battle for IBM,” “Alan Greenspan: Ruling over Money,” “Hillary Clinton: Power and Ambition,” and “Liberal and Conservative Factions among Elites”.

Silencing the Past
by Michel-Rolph Trouillot
History is not simply an academic discipline, but something that shapes our understanding of our past and present. "Silencing the Past" is a meditation on how history is made--and how, in that process, the stories we learn as history by their very existence result in the silencing of others. Michel-Rolph Trouillot shows, for example, why the public commemorations of the only successful slave revolution in the Atlantic world reveal virtually no trace of intense internal conflict among rebel leaders. He also explores the hotly debated historical controversies over denials of the Holocaust and the story of the Alamo.
Privilege , Power, And Difference
by Allan G. Johnson
