London. A city apart. Inimitable. Or so it once seemed. Spiralling from the outer limits of the Overground to the pinnacle of the Shard, Iain Sinclair encounters a metropolis stretched beyond recognition. The vestiges of secret tunnels, the ghosts of saints and lost poets lie buried by developments, the cycling revolution and Brexit. An electrifying final odyssey, The Last London is an unforgettable vision of the Big Smoke before it disappears into the air of memory.

What is the reality of policing in the United States? Do the police keep anyone safe and secure other than the very wealthy? How do recent police killings of young Black people in the United States fit into the historical and global context of anti-blackness? This collection of reports and essays explores police violence against Black, Brown, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities, miscarriages of justice, and failures of token accountability and reform measures.

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.

Nous vivons dans un monde rempli de préjugés. Et cela ne doit rien au hasard. Notre cerveau, fabuleuse machine à appréhender le monde, fabrique sans cesse des stéréotypes et fait de nous, que nous le voulions ou non, de parfaits discriminateurs. Mais, ne vous en faites pas car nous allons vous expliquer pourquoi ce processus est parfaitement normal et comment en limiter les effets néfastes.

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. En esta primera parte el oyente encontrará personajes siniestros, matones ceñudos que atemorizaban a sus vecinos en el siglo XIX y otros aún más siniestros, sí, hay muchos políticos, incluyendo a Berlusconi. 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 Vereinigten Staaten befinden sich mitten in einem neuen Bürgerkrieg, der mit den Waffen der Mediengesellschaft ausgetragen wird - und erleben in der Weltkrise 2020 eine multiple Katastrophe. Klaus Brinkbäumer und Stephan Lamby berichten von den zahlreichen Fronten. Nach vier Jahren einer fatalen Präsidentschaft sind die USA eine wütende, nur noch im Hass vereinte Nation. Die unterschiedlichen politischen Lager haben ihre diplomatischen Beziehungen abgebrochen und stehen sich auf medialen Schlachtfeldern gegenüber.

Il nostro mondo è fondato sul lavoro. Non solo esso garantisce la produzione e il consumo di beni e servizi più o meno essenziali, non solo è parte fondante della retorica politica, non solo occupa buona parte del nostro tempo. No. Il lavoro ci definisce come esseri umani, circoscrive le nostre aspirazioni e i nostri sogni, definisce le nostre abitudini, i nostri valori, il nostro benessere (o malessere) fisico e mentale. Ma non è sempre stato così, anzi, James Suzman dimostra che i nostri antenati cacciatori-raccoglitori lavoravano molto meno di noi.

In "La società della performance", Maura Gancitano e Andrea Colamedici proseguono la linea tracciata da Guy Debord con "La società dello spettacolo" e da Byung-Chul Han con "Psicopolitica", rivelando come la condizione dell'uomo contemporaneo sia strutturata per sostituire al mondo l'imitazione del mondo, all'espressione di sé l'esibizione di sé, alla narrazione lo storytelling, alla ricerca del senso della vita la ricerca di un livello sempre maggiore di benessere e visibilità.

Il problema dell'educazione appare oggi uno degli argomenti caldi e maggiormente discussi soprattutto fra i non addetti ai lavori. Esso riguarda infatti non solamente la scuola in generale ma, nel complesso, la persona e la società. Riguarda non solo la didattica ma tutte quelle situazioni nelle quali si verificano fenomeni che influiscono sull'apprendimento. Tali situazioni necessitano di interventi specifici, che vanno affidati a persone competenti e preparate, soprattutto quando si tratta di ambito scolastico.

Migliaia di morti e decine di nuovi ammalati. Ancora oggi, a un quarto di secolo dalla chiusura della fabbrica maledetta, a Casale Monferrato l'amianto dell'Eternit continua a uccidere. Un dramma che ha attraversato generazioni e ha falcidiato una città. Finalmente, dopo decenni di lotte, i familiari delle vittime insieme a un pugno di caparbi sindacalisti, medici, avvocati e amministratori sono riusciti a ottenere giustizia: al termine dei due anni di dibattimento, gli eredi delle dinastie che hanno costruito le proprie fortune sull'amianto sono stati condannati a 16 anni.
