Summary

Strange Diplomatic Incidents explores the often-overlooked world of diplomatic mishaps, revealing how cultural misunderstandings, translation errors, and protocol breaches have shaped international relations. The book unpacks how what may seem like minor incidents can actually highlight systemic weaknesses in diplomatic practices. For example, a mistranslation can completely alter the meaning of a treaty, leading to significant political ramifications.

 
The book argues that diplomacy is a delicate dance, and when the steps are miscommunicated or misinterpreted, the results can be both comical and consequential. Readers will discover how cultural sensitivity and clear communication strategies are essential for avoiding diplomatic disasters.

 
The approach is analytical yet accessible, using historical archives and real-world examples to illustrate the importance of intercultural understanding. The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with an introduction to diplomatic communication and negotiation psychology. It then delves into case studies of various diplomatic incidents, drawing from different historical periods and geographic regions. Finally, it offers practical recommendations for diplomats and anyone involved in international relations, emphasizing the lessons learned from these incidents.

    In The Secrets of Silence, Shannon Malone Gonzalez investigates how the policing of black women is tied to the policing of their stories. Over a period of four years, Malone Gonzalez conducted intimate life-history interviews with black women about their encounters, listening to those who had never shared their stories before, had never even been asked to, or had tried repeatedly to speak to those around them to no avail. They all described the unspoken or whispered connections in the ways officers and communities socially control black women to put them "in their place." Centering black women's searches for recognition of their violent encounters with police and other people in their lives, Malone Gonzalez examines the pervasive and often invisible forms of everyday policing that render black women's stories missing from official data, headlines, and community conversations.In this book Malone Gonzalez shows that policing is as much about silence as it is about violence. Black women's silenced stories, then, provide a way to name and critique the institutional and intimate forms of policing that break and bend black social relations into a complex web of social control. Drawing on abolition feminism and black knowledge traditions, she envisions storytelling—and listening—as a way to reimagine, remember, and reconnect in solidarity and worldbuilding.

    The Citicorp Center, a fifty-nine-story skyscraper built in 1977, immediately became one of the most recognizable features on the New York City skyline with its distinctive inclined roof and oddly placed support columns. Designed by one of the top structural engineers in the field, William LeMessurier, the tower would become the crown jewel of his professional career; In essence, he created a skyscraper on stilts. The building was a modern marvel—until it was revealed that it had a one in sixteen chance of collapse. 
 
 
 
The Great Miscalculation tells the riveting story of LeMessurier's discovery of a fatal flaw in his building's design and his decision to blow the whistle on himself, putting his reputation on the line in a race to save this iconic skyscraper. With hurricane season rapidly approaching, the structural design flaws of the Citicorp Tower posed a menacing danger. Meanwhile, the economic hardships and political turmoil of 1970s New York only compounded the obstacles to a massively expensive, never-before-seen structural redesign in the heart of downtown Manhattan. 
 
 
 
A fascinating piece of overlooked New York City history, The Great Miscalculation tells the gripping narrative of a catastrophe averted in the nick of time.
