Milieu des annees quatre-vingt-dix. Le jeune Billy Graves est flic au sein d''une brigade anticriminalite de l''un des pires districts du Bronx. Il fait partie d''un groupe de policiers prometteurs, les Wild Geese, et une carriere brillante lui semble assuree. Jusqu''au jour ou il tire accidentellement sur un gamin. L''affaire, fortement mediatisee, lui vaut d''etre mis au placard quelque temps. Aujourd''hui, Billy est devenu chef d''une equipe de nuit du NYPD. Son quotidien: sillonner les rues de New York, de Wall Street a Harlem, pour en assurer la securite, meme s''il sait que certains criminels passeront toujours au travers des mailles du filet. Ces derniers, il les surnomme les whites, ceux qui s''en sortent blancs comme neige. Chaque policier en a un qui l''obsede. Puis vient un appel qui change tout: un meurtre a eu lieu a Penn Station. Et la victime n''est autre que le white d''un de ses anciens coequipiers. Lorsqu''un autre white est assassine, Billy commence a s''interroger: quelqu''un serait-il en train de regler ses comptes? Et qui est cet homme qui, soudainement, parait s''interesser a sa femme et a ses enfants, au point de les suivre en filature?"

When Richard and Sally Price stepped out of the canoe to begin their fieldwork with the Saamaka Maroons of Suriname in 1966, they were met with a mixture of curiosity, suspicion, ambivalence, hostility, and fascination. With their gradual acceptance into the community they undertook the work that would shape their careers and influence the study of African American societies throughout the hemisphere for decades to come. In Saamaka Dreaming they look back on the experience, reflecting on a discipline and a society that are considerably different today. Drawing on thousands of pages of field notes, as well as recordings, file cards, photos, and sketches, the Prices retell and comment on the most intensive fieldwork of their careers, evoke the joys and hardships of building relationships and trust, and outline their personal adaptation to this unfamiliar universe. The book is at once a moving human story, a portrait of a remarkable society, and a thought-provoking revelation about the development of anthropology over the past half-century.

Richard Price here offers a sweeping interpretation of modern British history. He challenges the dominant assumption that the nineteenth century marked the beginning of modern Britain. British Society argues on the contrary that nineteenth-century British society was the extension of an earlier era whose main themes first appeared in the late seventeenth century and which continued to shape the social, economic and political history of the country until the end of the nineteenth century. This book casts light on the main themes of economic, political and social history, and offers alternative interpretations on questions and issues that are central to the history of modern Britain. It follows in the great tradition of works such as Briggs''s Age of Improvement, and Perkin''s Origins of Modern English Society, and will be of enormous interest to all students and scholars of the period.

Clockers - das sind schwarze Dealer, die weiße Klientel 24 Stunden am Tag, 7 Tage die Woche beliefern. Hier im Slum, wo die Welt rau ist, steht die Polizei aggressiv daneben, die Stadt resigniert. Bis sich die Spannung wieder in einer Explosion entlädt. Richard Price hat dieses Szenarium in seinem grandiosen Meisterwerk ”Clockers“ umgesetzt. Es entstand ein handlungsgetriebener und vor Spannung berstender Großstadtroman, den Spike Lee mit Harvey Keitel verfilmt hat und der den Grundriss für die gefeierte Fernsehserie ”The Wire“ schuf.

Richard Price lässt in seinem hymnisch gefeierten Bestseller die Fassade des strahlenden, ›neuen‹ New Yorks bröckeln und zeigt die dahinter liegenden Risse, die unter dem Glamour verborgene Macht und Gewalt. »Cash« ist ein Röntgenblick auf die Lower East Side, ein großer Roman von einem meisterhaften Gegenwartschronisten.
