From Publishers WeeklyAccording to Marrs, America has become a zombie nation, going through the motions in commerce, politics, health and education, but without a spark of life, verve, or enthusiasm. For this he posits an enormous money cult conspiracy involving New World Order culprits like the Trilateral Commission, John D. Rockefeller, the Illuminati, Bertelsmann, and the TSA. He levels accusations at our current Marxist socialist, possibly fascist government, and quotes from countless sources, both mainstream and not. In Marrss view, the economic collapse was an orchestrated effort to heap debt upon Americans and keep them in a zombie-like state. Believing that Orwells 1984 vision of psychological and electronic tyranny is almost upon us, Marrs proposes remedies such as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in schools and Congress, reviewing NAFTA and the WTO for Constitutional violations, rescinding hate crime laws, and legalizing marijuana. Returning often to the founding fathers, and dipping into a deep history that includes 11th-century China and the time of Christ, Marrss vast accumulation is equal parts alternate history and boilerplate conspiracy polemic. END From BooklistMarrs is the best-selling author of several books covering alleged cover-ups and conspiracies, including The Rise of the Fourth Reich, 2008. Here he presents a mix of both right-wing conspiracy theories, such as New World Order domination by the Illuminati, and left-wing conspiracy theories, like the planned failure of deregulation, along with charges we can all agree on, such as the bank bailout as a financial coup detat for the privileged ultrawealthy. From Reagan to Obama to Congress, he leaves no president or party out of the conspiracy blame game, outlining a plan for world domination that goes back to 1913. Big corporations, banks, schools, and even psychiatrists are all implicated. Amid the paranoia are a number of genuine alarming trends showing that this country and the world are on a path to economic destruction these include the overreaching power of the Fed, the disparity between the haves and the have-nots, and the increasing role of corporations in shaping public policy. Read with several grains of salt, this piece can be alternately amusing and frightening. --David Siegfried Americas economy is in shambles . . . Its citizens are terrified and dissatisfied . . .

Author: Rosina Lozano File Type: pdf An American Language is a tour de force that revolutionizes our understanding of U.S. history. It reveals the origins of Spanish as a language binding residents of the Southwest to the politics and culture of an expanding nation in the 1840s. As the West increasingly integrated into the United States over the following century, struggles over power, identity, and citizenship transformed the place of the Spanish language in the nation. An American Language is a history that reimagines what it means to be an Americanwith profound implications for our own time. **From the Inside Flap Original and provocative, beautifully written and argued,An American Language tells a story of our nations past that brilliantly illuminates our present that the United States of America was born multilingual.John Mack Faragher, Howard R. Lamar Professor Emeritus, Yale University In this timely and important book, Rosina Lozano reveals that little is as all-American as the Spanish language. An American Language opens up a whole new way of envisioning the century that followed the U.S.-Mexican War and introduces a powerful new scholarly voice.Karl Jacoby, author of The Strange Career of William Ellis The Texas Slave Who Became a Mexican Millionaire Lozano has given us an original and imaginative story of contests over power, governance, and belonging that places languageand the Spanish language in particularat the center of her analysis. In so doing, she offers a new and rich perspective on the development of the American Southwest since the middle of the nineteenth century, on the deeper meanings of American culture and politics, and on the complex ways in which citizenship is constructed.Steven Hahn, author ofA Nation without Borders The United States and Its World in an Age of Civil Wars, 18301910 This deeply original history explains how Spanish speakers in the United States interacted with government power in the century after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. An American Language has something novel and urgent to say about identity, pluralism, and the state. Lozano has written an ambitious and important book.Brian DeLay, author of War of a Thousand Deserts Indian Raids and the U.S.-Mexican War This book is a tour de force with powerfully important implications. It definitively refutes reigning assumptions that the United States has always been a monolingual Anglophone nation and that recent and current immigration poses an unprecedented threat through its language diversity. Lozano presents detailed accounts of the historical role of Spanish as a state-sanctioned language and demonstrates how this was an important crucible of identity and power in the U.S. past. An American Language reveals a hidden history of the Spanish language in the United States.George Lipsitz, author of How Racism Takes Place About the Author Rosina Lozano is Assistant Professor of History at Princeton University.
