This provocative book presents a theory of the First Amendment's development. During the twentieth century, Americans gained trust in its commitments, turned the First Amendment into an instrument for social progress, and exercised their rhetorical freedom to create a common language of rights. Robert L. Tsai explains that the guarantees of the First Amendment have become part of a governing culture and nationwide priority. Examining the rhetorical tactics of activists, presidents, and lawyers, he illustrates how committed citizens seek to promote or destabilize a convergence in constitutional ideas. "Eloquence and Reason" reveals the social and institutional processes through which foundational ideas are generated and defends a cultural role for the courts.

Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. pp. 285. The Chilling, Nuanced Story Of Nine Jewish Families, Unwanted Refugees In France And Italy During The Holocaust, And How They Struggled In The Face Of Persecution This Book Describes The Ever-Escalating Dangers To Which Jewish Refugees And Recent Immigrants Were Subjected In France And Italy As The Holocaust Marched Forward. Susan Zuccotti Uncovers A Grueling Yet Complex History Of Suffering And Resilience Through Historical Documents And Personal Testimonies From Members Of Nine Central And Eastern European Jewish Families, Displaced To France In The Opening Years Of The Second World War. The Chronicle Of Their Lives Reveals Clearly That These Jewish Families Experienced Persecution Of Far Greater Intensity Than Citizen Jews Or Long-Time Resident Immigrants. The Odyssey Of The Nine Families Took Them From Hostile Vichy France To The Alpine Village Of Saint-Martin-Vésubie And On To Italy, Where German Soldiers Rather Than Hoped-For Allied Troops Awaited. Those Who Crossed Over To Italy Were Either Deported To Auschwitz Or Forced To Scatter In Desperate Flight. Zuccotti Brings To Light The Agonies Of The Refugees' Unstable Lives, The Evolution Of French Policies Toward Jews, The Reasons Behind The Flight From The Relative Idyll Of Saint-Martin-Vésubie, And The Choices That Confronted Those Who Arrived In Italy. Powerful Archival Evidence Frames This History, While Firsthand Reports Underscore The Human Cost Of The Nightmarish Years Of Persecution.
