In 1950, we, the people of India, gave ourselves a constitution that promised justice, liberty and equality to all its citizens. Decades later, as a nation, we still struggle with inequality in various forms—religion, sex, caste, gender. As we forge ahead, it is imperative to ask, ‘who is...

The Supreme Court and our Constitution are much in the news today, and with good reason. Progressives are deeply disturbed as a new conservative majority on the Supreme Court moves to reverse long-standing progressive precedents like Roe v.

On 26th January 1950 India became a republic, shedding its last links with its colonial past.

Passed in June 1951, the First Amendment to the Constitution was a pivotal moment in Indian constitutional history.

Ante este panorama de contradicciones, Juan Jesús Garza Onofre y Javier Martín Reyes señalan: la Constitución es demasiado importante para dejarla en manos de abogados y políticos. En ella se encuentran reconocidos los derechos de todas las personas, así como las reglas que nos hemos dado como sociedad. Por ello, debemos desmitificar la Constitución, dejar de verla como una reliquia ante la cual hay que inclinar la cabeza y más como un dispositivo útil para mejorar nuestra realidad cotidiana. Éste es el objetivo de este libro.

Rot and Revival is one of the first scholarly works to comprehensively theorize and document how politics make American constitutional law and how the courts affect the path of partisan politics.

Written by fifty-five of the richest white men, and signed by only thirty-nine of them, the US constitution is the sacred text of American nationalism. Popular perceptions of it are mired in idolatry, myth, and misinformation—many Americans have opinions on the constitution but have little idea what it says. This book examines the constitution for what it is—a rule book for elites to protect capitalism from democracy.
