The saga of the Freedom Riders is an improbable, almost unbelievable story. In the course of six months in 1961, 450 Freedom Riders expanded the realm of the possible in American politics, redefining the limits of dissent and setting the stage for the civil rights movement. In this new version of his encyclopedic Freedom Riders, Raymond Arsenault offers a significantly condensed and tautly written account.

The assassination of John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, continues to inspire interest ranging from well-meaning speculation to bizarre conspiracy theories and controversial filmmaking. But in this landmark audiobook, reissued with a new afterword for the 40th anniversary of the assassination, Gerald Posner examines all of the available evidence and reaches the only possible conclusion: Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.

Activists, pundits, politicians, and the press frequently proclaim today's digitally mediated racial justice activism the new civil rights movement. As Charlton D. McIlwain shows in this book, the story of racial justice movement organizing online is much longer and varied than most people know. Beginning with the simultaneous rise of civil rights and computer revolutions in the 1960s, McIlwain, for the first time, chronicles the long relationship between African Americans, computing technology, and the Internet.

In the modern era, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an omnipresent force, touching nearly every aspect of our lives. From virtual assistants to autonomous vehicles, AI technologies have transformed the way we work, communicate, and make decisions.

American Exceptionalism and American Innocence examines the stories we’re told that lead us to think that the U.S. is a force for good in the world, regardless of slavery, the genocide of indigenous people, and the more than a century’s worth of imperialist war that the U.S. has wrought on the planet. Roberto Sirvent and Danny Haiphong detail just what Captain America’s shield tells us about the pretensions of U.S. foreign policy, how Angelina Jolie and Bill Gates engage in humanitarian imperialism, and more.

A lo largo de la Historia, la idea de progreso ha sido una fuente de inspiración para concebir la sociedad como comunidad que avanza y se perfecciona a través del conocimiento y el esfuerzo colectivo y en este sentido las ideas contemporáneas han puesto en pie una forma radicalmente distinta de entender el mundo. Desde Mayo de 1968, pareció que la transgresión se elevaba a la categoría de dogma y la nueva ortodoxia en rebeldía. En los últimos cincuenta años, nuestra sociedad ha sido remodelada a una velocidad y con una intensidad jamás conocidas.

La cancelación surgió originalmente como una herramienta de los grupos oprimidos para enfrentar las injusticias. En este libro, adrienne maree brown replantea desde los cuidados comunitarios y la justicia transformativa una discusión cooptada por sectores conservadores. La autora, con una experiencia de décadas en la mediación comunitaria, toma una perspectiva antirracista, queer y feminista para responder a preguntas urgentes: ¿podemos enfrentar el daño más allá del castigo? ¿Cómo rendir cuentas de nuestros propios actos y exigir a los demás responsabilidad y justicia?

Vance has a solid grip on where the Republican Party has come from and where it is heading. He sees the various factions and coalitions that make up the Party and understands them deeply. As the Republican Party works to adapt to the political changes initiated by Trump to truly become the profamily and pro-worker Party of the American middle class, Vance stands alone as the most knowledgeable and capable politician to bring the Republican Party—and the nation—into the post-Donald Trump world.

Uncontrollable Women is a history of radical, reformist and revolutionary women between the outbreak of the French Revolution in 1789 and the passing of the Great Reform Act in 1832. Very few of them are well-known today; some were unknown even in their own day. All of them contributed something to the world we now inhabit. In this book, they take centre stage in both their own stories and those of others, and in doing so bring different voices to the more familiar accounts of the period.

A groundbreaking biography of Margaret Bondfield, the remarkable political pioneer and working-class woman who rose to become the first female Cabinet Minister in the 1929 Labour government. Rising from modest semi-rural, semi-industrial origins in the West Country, and years of apprenticeship in shops in Brighton, Bondfield became the first woman to chair the TUC, one of the first female Labour MPs, the first woman to hold government office (1924) and in 1929, the first female Cabinet Minister. Most of her life was lived in the public eye, but what lay behind her public achievements?

Un an après la seconde élection de Trump, une plongée dans l'Amérique MAGA qui cherche à nous détruire. Longtemps, je n'ai pas voulu le croire. Je ne pensais pas que Donald Trump et son mouvement MAGA avaient transformé à ce point les États-Unis. Et puis j'ai dû me rendre à l'évidence. De Chicago à Mar-a-Lago, parti à la rencontre des Américains, j'ai compris que l'Amérique qui nous déteste existe. Nous, Européens, sommes devenus ses boucs-émissaires favoris. Bons pour payer et pour nous agenouiller. Si possible en disant Thank you for the deal.

Number one nationally best-selling author and political commentator Michael Knowles masterfully traces the history and effects of political correctness from the early 20th century to the present, revealing its insidious roots, exposing the power-hungry language architects behind its ever-growing control, and examining what this concerted manipulation of speech means for the future of American culture, politics, and minds.

American public opinion tends to be sticky. Although the news cycle might temporarily affect the public's mood on contentious issues like abortion, the death penalty, or gun control, public opinion toward these issues has remained remarkably constant over decades. There are notable exceptions, however, particularly with regard to divisive issues that highlight identity politics. Why have people's minds changed so dramatically on this issue, and why so quickly? Listen, We Need to Talk tests a new theory about how to change people's attitudes on controversial topics.

Two defense experts explore the collision of war, politics, and social media, where the most important battles are now only a click away. Through the weaponization of social media, the Internet is changing war and politics, just as war and politics are changing the Internet. Terrorists livestream their attacks, “Twitter wars” produce real world casualties, and viral misinformation alters not just the result of battles, but the very fate of nations. The result is that war, tech, and politics have blurred into a new kind of battlespace that plays out on our smartphones.
