Showing results for "Leopold" in Politics & Government

From the day she was born, Charlotte won the hearts of her subjects and yet behind the scenes she was used, abused and victimized by rivalries-between her parents; between her Father (the Prince Regent, later George IV) and (Mad King) George III: between her tutors, governesses and other members of her discordant household; and ultimately between the Whigs and the Tories. Her death in childbirth-the result of medical incompetence-was followed by an unseemly scramble to produce a substitute heir.

As the only child of the Prince Regent and Caroline of Brunswick, Princess Charlotte of Wales (1796-1817) was the heiress presumptive to the throne. Her parents' marriage had already broken up by the time she was born. She had a difficult childhood and a turbulent adolescence, but she was popular with the public, who looked to her to restore the good name of the monarchy.

In Wall Street’s War on Workers, Les Leopold, co-founder of the Labor Institute, provides a clear lens with which we can see how healthy corporations in the United States have used mass layoffs and stock buybacks to enrich shareholders at the expense of employees.

Pour la première fois, des enregistrements historiques de Léopold Sédar Senghor sont remis à la disposition du public sous la direction de Philippe Sainteny dans le cadre des émissions radiophoniques de RFI.

Premier Africain agrégé de grammaire, poète célébré dans le monde entier, premier président du Sénégal, académicien : Senghor a eu tous les honneurs. Accusé d'essentialisme pour avoir inventé la Négritude, d'autoritarisme pour avoir fait emprisonner ses opposants, difficile aujourd'hui de faire un portrait nuancé de Senghor tout en rendant justice à la grande actualité de sa pensée poétique et philosophique. C'est pourtant cette ligne de crête qu'emprunte Elara Bertho, loin de l'hagiographie, loin des anathèmes.
