Aftermath by Craig Calhoun
With the specter of prosecution after his term is over and the possibility of disbarment in Arkansas hanging over President Clinton, the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal and the events that have followed it show no sign of abating. The question has become what to do, and how to think, about those eight months.
History will be forever haunted by the 20th century's last, longest, legalistic right-wing coup attempt against a popular presidentLimited to sleazy sex, political and policy differences were downplayed. The important, splendid, controversial essays collected in Aftermath provide learned context for this defining, though bizarre moment in American history and culture. Everyone interested in the individual and the law, politics and the future will want to read this book. - Blanche Wiesen Cook,author of Eleanor Roosevelt The first serious collection of academic reflections about the scandal, the essays in Aftermath offer citizens, students, lawyers, and historians fresh insights about American law and liberalism, about culture wars and family values, and about the politics of scandal in the late twentieth century. - Martha Minow,author of Between Vengeance and Forgiveness: Facing History After Genocide and Mass Violence
