This horrified her family and scandalized society.In 1933, Diana met the new German leader, Adolf Hitler. They became close friends and he attended her wedding as the guest of honor. During the war, the Mosleys' association with Hitler led them to be arrested and interned for three and a half years. Diana's relationships with Hitler and Mosley defined her life in the public eye and marked her as a woman who possessed a singular lack of empathy for those less blessed at birth.Anne de Courcy's revealing biography chronicles one of the most intriguing, controversial women of the twentieth century. It is a riveting tell-all memoir of a leading society hostess, a woman with intimate access to the highest literary, political, and social circles of her time.

This brief biography looks at one of the most influential writers from the francophone Caribbean. Aimé Césaire was a poet, playwright and politician, who, along with Léon-Gontran Damas from French Guiana and Léopold Senghor of Senegal, founded the Negritude movement in the 1930s. The men had come together as young black students in Paris at a time when the French capital had become the locus of ideas on black identity and pan-Africanism. The Negritude movement called for a cultural awakening of African heritage, a rejection of Western ideology that inherently saw blacks as inferior to whites, and a reclamation of what it meant to be black. Césaire's first major and most famous poetic work, Cahier d'un retour au pays natal (Notebook of a Return to My Native Land), explored the contours of this African heritage and his complex identity as a black man born under French rule on the Caribbean island of Martinique. Throughout his long political career, which lasted for most of his life, Césaire fought not only for his own people but for those who had been wronged by vestiges of colonial regimes. This book is an exploration of Césaire's life in his never-ending decolonizing battle.

Die Ausgestaltung des Annahmeverfahrens für Verfassungsbeschwerden muss die Gewährung effektiven Grundrechtsschutzes einerseits und die begrenzten Entscheidungskapazitäten des Verfassungsgerichts andererseits in Einklang bringen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird aufgezeigt, welche materiellen und prozessualen Regelungen beim Bundesverfassungsgericht und beim US Supreme Court den Zugang zur Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit steuern. Unter Berücksichtigung eines prozeduralen Überprüfungsansatzes und demokratietheoretischer Erwägungen wird anschließend das Modell eines deliberativen Annahmeverfahrens entwickelt, das die verfassungsgerichtlichen Ressourcen bestmöglich nutzt. Wesentliche Elemente des Verfahrens sind insbesondere die Zuständigkeit des Senats, die Annahme nach Ermessen anhand der verfassungsrechtlichen Relevanz, die Möglichkeit zur Veröffentlichung von Sondervoten sowie besondere Anforderungen an die Formulierung des Beschwerdeantrags nach dem Vorbild der Questions Presented im Writ of Certiorari-Verfahren des US Supreme Court.
