American Political Thought
How do Americans think about foundational political questions? Covering the full span of U.S. history, <i>American Political Thought: An Invitation</i> offers a lively yet sophisticated overview of the nature and dynamics of American Political Thought for students and general readers alike. <br /><br />Award-winning scholar Ken Kersch’s engaging introduction situates the key debates in their historical, political and cultural context. He introduces the touchstone frameworks and ideas that are both deeply ingrained and yet have been actively re-made in a country that has spent 250 years of shifting circumstances battling over their real-world implications. Covering thinkers ranging from Jefferson to Rawls, Du Bois to Audre Lorde, he examines the ambiguities of the purportedly ‘consensus’ American principles of liberty, equality, and democracy as well as addressing questions ranging from ‘What are the foundations of a legitimate political order?’ and ‘What is the appropriate role of government?’ to ‘What are the appropriate terms of full civic membership ?’ – and beyond. <br /><br />Politically balanced and inclusive, <i>American Political Thought</i> introduces the contested terrain concerning these core political questions as they were raised over the course of the USA’s often dramatic history.

Das Land der weißen Männer
Dieses Buch eröffnet einen radikal neuen Blick auf ein Land, das seinen weißen Bewohnern von Generation zu Generation das Versprechen gab, naturgemäß an der Macht zu sein. Die Geschichte der USA ist eine Geschichte weißer Männer, die sich über andere hinwegsetzten – über Schwarze, Frauen und andere weiße Männer. Von den Cowboys, die sich mit dem Colt in der Hand den Weg in den Westen freischossen, über die Baumwollfarmer, deren Erfolg am Besitz Schwarzer gemessen wurde, bis hin zu den Quarterbacks der NFL und einem Präsidenten, der Frauen zwischen die Beine greift. Eindrucksvoll und anschaulich erzählt Ijeoma Oluo wie das Ideal der weißen Männlichkeit die Gesellschaft bis heute prägt und eine Verständigung so schwierig macht. In Das Land der weißen Männer zeigt die gefeierte Autorin die wahren Konsequenzen der weißen männlichen Vorherrschaft, und entwirft eine neue Identität für weiße Männer, die eine Zukunft ohne Rassismus und Sexismus möglich macht.
The Socialist Manifesto
The success of Jeremy Corbyn's left-led Labour Party and Bernie Sanders's 2016 presidential campaign revived a political idea many had thought dead. But what, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system look like today? In The Socialist Manifesto , Bhaskar Sunkara, editor of Jacobin magazine, argues that socialism offers the means to achieve economic equality, and also to fight other forms of oppression, including racism and sexism. The ultimate goal is not Soviet-style planning, but to win rights to healthcare, education, and housing and to create new democratic institutions in workplaces and communities. The book both explores socialism's history and presents a realistic vision for its future. A primer on socialism for the 21st century, this is a book for anyone seeking an end to the vast inequities of our age.
