News for All the People reveals how racial segregation distorted the information Americans received from the mainstream media. It unearths numerous examples of how publishers and broadcasters actually fomented racial violence and discrimination through their coverage. And it chronicles the influence federal media policies exerted in such conflicts. It depicts the struggle of Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American journalists who fought to create a vibrant yet little-known alternative, democratic press.

Focusing on disparities in employment, housing, education and health care, Wise argues that racism is indeed still an acute problem in the United States today and that colorblind policies actually worsen the problem of racial injustice. Colorblind presents a timely and provocative look at contemporary racism and offers fresh ideas on what can be done to achieve true social justice and economic equality.

In this collection of essays, renowned social-justice advocate Tim Wise confronts racism in contemporary America. Seen through the lens of major flashpoints during the Obama and Trump years, Dispatches from the Race War faces the consequences of white supremacy in all its forms. This includes a discussion of the bigoted undertones of the Tea Party’s backlash, the killing of Trayvon Martin, current-day anti-immigrant hysteria, the rise of openly avowed white nationalism, the violent policing of African Americans, and more.

One of the first studies of the organization, life, and meaning of the Nation of Islam and, by extension, all Black Nationalist movements, this classic work dispels the still-common conception that the movement functioned primarily for political purposes. By observing the daily life of its members, Essien-Udom demonstrates that the Nation of Islam served primarily as a means for poor urban Blacks to attain a national identity, a sense of ethnic consciousness, and empowerment in a society that denied them these privileges.

Black Picket Fences is a stark, moving, and candid look at a section of America that is too often ignored by both scholars and the media: the Black middle class. The result of living for three years in "Groveland", a Black middle-class neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, sociologist Mary Pattillo-McCoy has written a book that explores both the advantages and the boundaries that exist for members of the Black middle class.

Piven and Cloward have updated their classic work on the history and function of welfare to cover the American welfare state's massive erosion during the Reagan, Bush, and Clinton years. The authors present a boldly comprehensive, brilliant new theory to explain the comparative underdevelopment of the US welfare state among advanced industrial nations. Their conceptual framework promises to shape the debate within current and future administrations as they attempt to rethink the welfare system and its role in American society.

In Making the Second Ghetto, Arnold Hirsch argues that in the post-depression years Chicago was a "pioneer in developing concepts and devices" for housing segregation. Hirsch shows that the legal framework for the national urban renewal effort was forged in the heat generated by the racial struggles waged on Chicago's South Side.

The dark side of the gig economy (Uber, Airbnb, etc.) and how to make it equitable for the users and workers most exploited.

La población urbana se duplicará en cuarenta años, algo que obliga a la transformación holística y sostenible del modelo de ciudad. Para Martha Thorne, decana de IE School of Architecture and Design y directora ejecutiva del Pritzker Architecture Prize, el gran reto de la arquitectura está en su capacidad para hacer metrópolis, que serán más densas y poseerán una alta calidad urbana y una mayor calidad de vida para los residentes.

Este audiolibro contiene dos partes. Por un lado, contiene 22 capítulos que relatan diferentes episodios de la historia de la Mafia siciliana.

Por otro lado, el audiolibro contiene una filmografía, con más de 250 películas comentadas, que trata de explicar cómo ha evolucionado la figura del gánster y del mafioso en el cine.

Manual de etiqueta para el mexicano de hoy—o para el audaz viajero—, Viaje al centro de mi tierra lo mismo explora conductas sociales (los microbuses como armas de destrucción masiva, los desfiguros de la política) que el albur, las piruetas y los retortijones de las hablas nacionales; va de los bajos fondos de la nota roja (un futbolista baleado en un bar-bar, el asesinato de dos mini luchadores a manos de unas sexoservidoras) a la épica batalla contra el virus de la influenza.

Viel zu lange wurde Rassismus als reines Problem rechter Extremisten definiert. Doch die subtileren, nicht weniger gefährlichen Vorurteile finden sich dort, wo man am wenigsten mit ihnen rechnen würde - im Herzen der achtbaren Gesellschaft. Was bedeutet es, in einer Welt, in der Weißsein als die selbstverständliche Norm gilt, nicht weiß zu sein? Reni Eddo-Lodge spürt den historischen Wurzeln der Vorurteile nach, und zeigt unmissverständlich, dass die Ungleichbehandlung Weißer und Nicht-Weißer unseren Systemen seit Generationen eingeschrieben ist.

Die unterschiedlichen politischen Lager haben ihre diplomatischen Beziehungen abgebrochen und stehen sich auf medialen Schlachtfeldern gegenüber.

¿Otro audiolibro sobre la guerra civil? Pues sí, otro, pero con una diferencia: no confunde con datos innecesarios y relata lo ocurrido en aquellos tres años de locura homicida sin catequizar sobre quiénes eran los buenos y quiénes los malos. No es una novela, porque todo lo que cuenta ocurrió (incluso las menudas historias que espantan o que mueven a risa), pero se oye como una novela y pretende instruir deleitando. Por eso está escrita en el tono que ya usó el autor en su Historia de España contada para escépticos.

Dieses Buch folgt einer Sehnsucht: nach einer Sprache, die Menschen nicht auf Kategorien reduziert. Nach einem Sprechen, das sie in ihrem Facettenreichtum existieren lässt. Nach wirklich gemeinschaftlichem Denken in einer sich polarisierenden Welt. Kübra Gümüsay setzt sich seit langem für Gleichberechtigung und Diskurse auf Augenhöhe ein. In ihrem ersten Buch geht sie der Frage nach, wie Sprache unser Denken prägt und unsere Politik bestimmt.

En la década de 1960, decisiva para el movimiento por los derechos civiles, numerosas voces de protesta y de cambio se elevaron por encima del estruendo de la historia y de las falsas promesas. Pero una de ellas sonaba con más urgencia y pasión que el resto: Malcolm X, el líder musulmán, instigador y antiintegracionista, calificado en alguna ocasión como el hombre más peligroso de América.

In 1950, before Montgomery, Alabama, knew Martin Luther King Jr., before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat to a White passenger, before the city's famous bus boycott, a Negro man named Hilliard Brooks was shot and killed by a White police officer in a confrontation after he tried to board a city bus. Thomas Gray, who had played football with Hilliard when they were kids, was outraged by the unjustifiable shooting. Gray protested, eventually staging a major downtown march to register voters and standing up to police brutality.

It is an invitation to walk in the shoes of hundreds of thousands of children from less privileged backgrounds.
