Global Rights and Perceptions

Avantika Rohatgi

In Global Rights and Perceptions students read from a wide variety of original sources—foreign policy journals, non-fiction books, medical journals, and current affairs magazines on how human rights are currently being violated through practices such as human trafficking, female genital mutilation, organ trade, and female feticide. This varied exposure gives students several gateways through which to approach complex social issues, think and write about them with awareness and engagement. Based on the premise that students must be pulled away from a highly commercial, digitally perfect present, and encouraged to intelligently and passionately examine an imperfect world with a view to changing it, the book provides a well-rounded education on global rights, and the lack thereof, in our modern world.

Unnatural Rebellion: Loyalists in New York City during the Revolution

Ruma Chopra

Thousands of British Americans in the thirteen colonies rejected the War for American Independence. Shunning rebel violence as unnecessary, unlawful, and unnatural, they emphasized the natural ties of blood, kinship, language, and religion that united the colonies to Britain. This is a story of how a cross-section of colonists flocked to the British headquarters of New York City to support their ideal of reunion. These loyal Americans did not surrender their vision but creatively adapted their rhetoric and accommodated military governance to protect their long-standing bond with the mother country. They never imagined that allegiance to Britain would mean a permanent exile from their homes.

Deus Ex Machina

Andrew Foster Altschul

Set behind the scenes of a reality television show, Deus Ex Machina explores the lives of players and crew as they compete, manipulate, and betray one another. In the wake of personal tragedies, the show's producer has come to question the value of his creation, and his attempts to inject something "real" into "reality" meet with resistance from the all-powerful network and wreak havoc on the deserted island where the show is being taped. When true catastrophe strikes, he finds it harder and harder to navigate this surreal landscape, where boundaries of the real, imagined, and orchestrated have blurred beyond recognition. The Wall Street Journal described Deus Ex Machina as "a heady, fast-paced novel" and NPR called it "brilliant... one of the best novels about American culture in years."
