Can free speech coexist with an inclusive campus environment? Hardly a week goes by without another controversy over free speech on college campuses. On one side, there are increased demands to censor hateful, disrespectful, and bullying expression and to ensure an inclusive and nondiscriminatory learning environment. On the other side are traditional free speech advocates who charge that recent demands for censorship coddle students and threaten free inquiry.

The Dreamer's dream is deeply rooted in the American Dream. This dream is the result of arriving to the United States as children through no fault of their own. An unintended consequence of good people who simply wanted a better life for their children. There is one thing that unites Dreamers and non-Dreamers alike: We are working hard to better ourselves and our communities. We all want a better life for our kids and family. As we look back throughout history, what is just and right becomes evident. I don't want the next generation to look back and wonder why good people stood silent.

Michael Scott Moore, a journalist and the author of Sweetness and Blood, incorporates personal narrative and rigorous investigative journalism in this profound and revelatory memoir of his three-year captivity by Somali pirates—a riveting, thoughtful, and emotionally resonant exploration of...

Her critics have called her 'the most dangerous woman in America,' 'far-right hate queen,' and 'the anti-Muslim movement's most visible and flamboyant figurehead.' Her admirers say she is 'the Joan of Arc of the counter-jihad movement,' 'one of the top world experts in radical Islam, sharia, and Islamic supremacism,' and 'a wonderful fighter for liberty.' Now, in Fatwa: Hunted in America, Pamela Geller recounts her unlikely journey from New York City career girl to a fearless human rights and free speech activist reviled by the enemies of freedom the world over. 'I assumed my freedom,' she writes. 'Never for one moment did I think that it could be taken from me. But all that changed on one day.'

A toxic ideology rules the world of extreme competition and individualism. It misrepresents human nature, destroying hope and common purpose. Only a positive vision can replace it, a new story that re-engages people in politics and lights a path to a better world. George Monbiot shows how new findings in psychology, neuroscience and evolutionary biology cast human nature in a radically different light: as the supreme altruists and cooperators.

The massacre of the Yazidi people by ISIS was nothing less than genocide. In refugee camps in Iraqi Kurdistan, the authors brought a skilled team to interview more than a hundred ISIS survivors and document what they experienced and saw. These former slaves observed their torturers and knew from the inside the secret facilities that ISIS has kept hidden from the world. What their testimony reveals is an organization whose ambition is power, regardless of their claim to be "soldiers of God."

“Funny, touching, tragic….A remarkable tale of corruption, child trafficking and civil war in a far away land—and one man’s extraordinary quest to reunite lost Nepalese children with their parents.” —Neil White, author of In the Sanctuary of Outcasts Little Princes is the epic story...

Questo audiolibro è la prima tappa di un pellegrinaggio di pace. Un pellegrinaggio compiuto da un uomo che, nel corso della sua vita, è stato un cronista coinvolto in prima persona nella realtà che descriveva; un giornalista capace d'individuare per istinto i segni che un determinato avvenimento lascia sul territorio sconfinato della Storia; un narratore con una voce unica, spesso fuori del coro, sempre autentica e piena di comprensione.

Questo libro inizia con un episodio dell'Eneide: il naufragio dei Troiani sulle coste di Cartagine (nei pressi dell'odierna Tunisi, nel canale di Sicilia) mentre sono diretti in Italia. Enea e i suoi vengono accolti dalla regina Didone in nome dell'umanità e del rispetto verso gli dèi, perché le frontiere si chiudono di fronte agli aggressori, non ai naufraghi. Scrive Bettini: "Ci sono troppi dispersi nel mare che fu di Virgilio, troppi cadaveri che fluttuano a mezz'acqua perché quei versi si possano ancora leggere solo come poesia. Sono diventati cronaca".

Hösten 1862 besökte Abraham Lincoln unionens läger vid Sharpsburg i Maryland. Han hade två år tidigare valts till USA:s 16:e president, och inbördeskriget rasade. Mellan nord och syd hade det länge rått oenighet om rätten att ha slavar, och med valet av Lincoln som president eskalerade konflikten till fullt krig. Sydstaterna lämnade unionen, medan Nordstaterna försökte upprätthålla dess auktoritet.

Carla Del Ponte fordert Gerechtigkeit. Wo wird das Völkerrecht aktuell gebrochen? Und welche Möglichkeiten hätte die UN einzugreifen? Wie und von wem wird Einfluss genommen auf Entscheidungen des Sicherheitsrates? Und macht sich die UN zu einem willfährigen Instrument mächtiger Länder? Carla Del Ponte, viele Jahre Chefanklägerin des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes, berichtet von ihrer jahrelangen Arbeit als hochrangige UNO-Diplomatin und fordert in ihrem flammenden Plädoyer die Durchsetzung des Völkerrechts, notwendige Reformen der UN sowie eine aktive Rolle der EU.

Im Kampf gegen die Corona-Pandemie ergreifen Staaten Maßnahmen, die sonst nur in Kriegszeiten denkbar wären. Ohne Parlament werden beispiellose Einschränkungen der Freiheit beschlossen und umgesetzt. Nicht nur Menschen, auch Grundrechte sind in Quarantäne. Not kennt kein Gebot? Falsch! Not braucht das Gebot des Grundgesetzes. Heribert Prantls Hörbuch ist eine Streitschrift für die Grundrechte: Wir müssen uns vor dem Virus schützen, zugleich aber auch vor Schäden am Betriebssystem Demokratie.

Ferdinand von Schirach über neue, notwendige Menschenrechte. Mit der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung 1776 und der Erklärung der Menschen- und Bürgerrechte 1779 in Frankreich wurden die Grundsteine für unsere moderne Gesellschaft gelegt, für unsere Freiheit und unsere unveräußerlichen Rechte. Das Erstaunliche an diesen Deklarationen ist, dass sie nicht die Wirklichkeit widerspiegelten. Die großen Manifeste der Menschheit verlangten eine Ordnung der Gesellschaft, die es noch nicht gab. Es waren Utopien.

Per Papa Francesco, Eva è stata vittima di una fake news uscita dalla bocca del serpente. A quanto pare, da allora le bufale non hanno smesso di rovinare le donne, visto che ancora oggi se una ha subito molestie si scrive che ci ha fatto carriera, mentre se uno ammazza la moglie per i giornali ha agito in preda a una rabbia momentanea. Ma le vittime di questi abusi dell'informazione non sono solo i corpi delle donne: quando si parla di migranti la verità si inabissa in fondo al mare, come un cadavere affogato.

I primissimi articoli della Dichiarazione Universale dei Diritti Umani e della Convenzione Europea per la salvaguardia dei diritti dell'uomo e delle libertà fondamentali sono chiarissimi: nessuno può essere ridotto in schiavitù, nessuno può essere sottoposto a tortura, a trattamenti inumani e degradanti. Nessuno. Abbiamo creato un sistema di garanzia dei diritti umani per evitare che l'orrore si ripetesse e l'abbiamo fatto dopo averlo visto con i nostri occhi di occidentali, l'orrore. Abbiamo però evitato di dire che i diritti, come gli occhi, erano occidentali.

Sie war eine prominente deutsche Geisel der türkischen Regierung: Als angebliche Terrorunterstützerin saß die Journalistin und Übersetzerin Meşale Tolu mit ihrem kleinen Sohn in Haft; danach wurde ihr die Ausreise aus der Türkei verweigert. Jetzt, wieder in Deutschland, berichtet sie über diese Zeit: über die Brutalität von Polizei und Justiz, das Alltagsleben in der politischen Gefangenschaft zwischen Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, ihren Kampf um Freiheit für ihre Familie und ihren Einsatz für die Pressefreiheit.

Rodrigo Duterte was elected President of the Philippines in 2016. In his first 18 months in office, 12,000 people were murdered on the streets, gunned down by police officers and vigilante citizens - all with his encouragement. Duterte is a serial womanizer and a self-confessed killer, who has called both Barack Obama and Pope Francis "sons of whores." He is on record as saying he does not "give a shit" about human rights. Yet he is beloved of the 16.6 million Filipinos who voted for him, seen as vulgar but honest, a breath of fresh air, and an iconoclastic, anti-imperialist rebel.

In this audiobook, Melvin Delgado offers a compelling case for the centrality of sanctuary cities' cause to the very mission and professional identity of social workers and others in the human services and mental-health professions. He also presents a historical perspective on the rise of the sanctuary movements of the 1970s and 2000s, giving context for the current environment and immigration debate.

Written in 1791 as a response to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, Thomas Paine's Rights of Man is a seminal work on human freedom and equality. Using the French Revolution and its ideals as an example, he demonstrates his belief that any government must put the inherent rights of its citizens above all else, especially politics. After its publication, Paine left England for France and was tried in his absence for libel against the crown.

From the marriage equality debate to the COVID-19 lockdown, ‘free speech’ has become the new battleground in Australian society. What does the furore over one footballer’s social media postings reveal about how it got that way? For a period in 2019, a tweet from rugby player Israel Folau...

In this dazzling piece of reportage, Anna Krien investigates the contemporary animal kingdom and our place in it. From pets to food, from wildness to science experiments, Krien also reveals how animals are faring in this new world order. Examples range from the joyful to the deeply unsettling. As Krien delves deeper, she finds that animals can trigger primal emotions in us, which we are often not willing to acknowledge. "Us and Them" is a clear-eyed look at how we do - and should - treat animals.

Dr. David Dao was dragged off United Express Flight 3411 on April 9, 2017 after refusing to give up his seat. In the tradition of contemporary immigrant stories comes a personal narrative of the many small but significant acts of racial discrimination faced on the way to the American dream. 

 Writing About Animals in the Age of Revolution shows how an appreciation of human-animal similarity and a literature of compassion for animals developed in the same years during which radical thinkers were first basing political demands on the concept of natural and universal human rights. 

The United States is the world's leading foreign aid donor. Yet there has been little inquiry into how such assistance affects the politics and societies of recipient nations. Jessica Trisko Darden challenges long-standing ideas about aid and its consequences, and highlights key patterns in the relationship between assistance and violence. She persuasively demonstrates that many of the foreign aid policy challenges the US faced in the Cold War era, such as the propping up of dictators friendly to US interests, remain salient today. 

Award-winning journalist J. Malcolm Garcia's essays highlight the struggle, survival, and endurance of average people affected by the injustices of America's remorseless mammoth institutions and public indifference. They include families and small businesses still recovering from the BP oil spill; the man sentenced to life in prison for transporting drugs to save his son's life; the widows of soldiers who died, not in war, but from toxic fumes at their bases; and the Iraqi interpreter who was promised American asylum, only to arrive and be forced to live in poverty.

Born in China’s northwestern province, Sayragul Sauytbay trained as a doctor before being appointed a senior civil servant. But her life was upended when the Chinese authorities incarcerated her. Her crime? Being Kazakh, one of China’s ethnic minorities. The northwestern province borders the largest number of foreign nations and is the point in China that is the closest to Europe. In recent years, it has become home to more than 1,200 penal camps - modern-day gulags that are estimated to house three million members of the Kazakh and Uyghur minorities.

Three experts in immigration law offer a comprehensive examination of the rise and demise of the US asylum system. Beginning with the Refugee Act of 1980, they describe how Congress adopted a definition of refugee based on the UN Refugee Convention and prescribed equitable and transparent procedures for a uniform asylum process. The authors then chart the evolution of this process, showing how Republican and Democratic administrations and Congresses tweaked the asylum system but maintained it as a means of protecting victims of persecution - until the Trump administration. 

Punjab was the arena of one of the first major armed conflicts of postcolonial India. During its deadliest decade, as many as 250,000 people were killed. This audiobook makes an urgent intervention in the history of the conflict, which to date has been characterized by a fixation on sensational violence - or ignored altogether. Mallika Kaur unearths the stories of three people who found themselves at the center of Punjab’s human rights movement.

Solomon Northup was born in the early 1800s in New York as a free man. He lived as a free man for over 30 years, until he was tricked into moving to Washington, DC, by men offering him a job as a musician. Once he made it to DC, he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in Louisiana, where he was forced to work on a plantation until he could make his escape. 12 Years a Slave was a fast best-seller when it was published just eight years before the Civil War, and is an integral text from the time period.

A number one New York Times best-selling author, Harvard Law School professor, and tireless defender of civil liberties unearths a little-known letter by his hero, Thomas Jefferson, and shares its secrets. The letter illuminates Jefferson’s views on freedom of speech in a way that has important implications for the country today, particularly in the struggle against terrorism. This book is about the remarkable letter Alan Dershowitz found, how he found it, and why it matters not only to him, but to us today.

Inside Syria and Iraq, and even along the refugee trail, they’re a religious minority persecuted for their Christian faith. Outside the Middle East, they’re suspect because of their nationality. A small remnant of Christians is on the run from the Islamic State. If they are wiped out, or scattered to the corners of the earth, the language that Jesus spoke may be lost forever - along with the witness of a church that has modeled Jesus’ way of nonviolence and enemy-love for two millennia.
