California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom

California’s Recall Election of Gavin Newsom

Larry N. Gerston; Mary Currin-Percival; Garrick L. Percival

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

nidottu
California went through a political earthquake of sorts when the state recalled Governor Gray Davis in 2003. In 2021, the state faced another political turning point with the threatened recall of Governor Gavin Newsom. Less than two years after Newsom’s overwhelming election victory, more than two million Californians signed on to the recall effort, hoping to expel him from office in a special election. How could such a monumental turnabout be possible? Normally, the political headwinds would be much too strong for a movement to oust a governor who had decisively vanquished his opponent. But--with the COVID-19 pandemic dominating every aspect of society, including politics--these weren’t normal times. Organizing a recall election is a demanding enterprise: it takes abundant political energy, tremendous amounts of anger with the status quo, and mounds of money. Yet, for the second time in less than two decades, such wheels were set in motion. What is it that makes California so dynamic yet so fragile? This book explains that paradox and, in the process, enlightens readers about the recall process, the challenges of federalism, and the pitfalls of direct democracy. It examines the underlying conditions that expose a state with poorly linked institutions, a bitterly divided society, and a governor who had to act under nearly impossible conditions, demonstrating his strengths and vulnerabilities along the way. It’s a story that could happen only in California, a state with a history of "only" stories.Designed to be useful in a variety of college courses, this book is the first to unveil the Newsom backstory and will appeal to pundits and politicos as well as interested general readers.

From Ashes: The Fall and Rise of Gavin Cleary

He stood triumphant. For twelve rounds the challenger had out boxed and outclassed the undefeated world champion. All that remained were the judges' anticlimactic decisions and the official coronation. Five years later he lies on a New York City street, begging for money and food. A tough, soft-souled cop reaches out to him, unaware the disheveled man he is helping was once boxing's golden boy. While the boxer battles the demons that drove his wife away and left his world in shambles, the cop wages a quiet war with his own personal loss. Together, the two men form a bond that will lead them up against insurmountable odds as they battle the past, their mortality and the greatest champion of their time. *-Cover photo by Evgenii Matrosov/Shutterstock 2017

William Faulkner, Gavin Stevens, and the Cavalier Tradition

William Faulkner, Gavin Stevens, and the Cavalier Tradition

Lorie Watkins Fulton

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
2011
sidottu
Many readers imagine Gavin Stevens as the character most similar to William Faulkner in all of his apocryphal Yoknapatawpha, and while Stevens was once considered the most reliable Faulknerian spokesperson, ample scholarship has demonstrated that he functions as far more than merely the author’s mouthpiece. In William Faulkner, Gavin Stevens, and the Cavalier Tradition, Lorie Watkins Fulton defines Stevens’s role and examines the scope of his influence. Fulton proposes that Faulkner uses similarities between himself and Stevens to voice, at a fictional remove, concerns about people of his own class and even of his own ancestry. Ultimately, she suggests that Stevens’s manipulations of the law, his misunderstanding of human beings, and his rhetorically high-minded pursuit of «not so much truth as of justice, or of justice as he sees it» remove him ideologically only a degree or two away from the most terrifying dictators of the twentieth century.

Antigos fantasmas permaneciam encastelados em Bras lia. Em meados dos anos 1980, viv amos sob a amea a de uma distopia que se eguia com autoridade... Naquele ambiente, poucas bandas do BRock tiveram uma vis o t o l cida quanto a Legi o Urbana. Corajosa, po tica e visceral, sua m sica capturou com precis o os anseios e contradi es daquela gera o - e das que viriam depois. Lan ado em julho de 1986, o segundo LP, intitulado simplesmente Dois, invadiu as r dios do pa s e foi totalmente abra ado pelo p blico. Era, por m, um sucesso diferente, onde can es ntimas se revezavam com a verbe politizada da Legi o. Dois tornaria-se um dos discos mais relevantes da hist ria do rock brasileiro.Charles Gavin

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
