This book tackles the most pressing problems of contemporary free speech law by examining where the idea of free expression came from in the first place, applying the lessons of the past to address the challenges of the present. Free speech cannot be taken for granted – it needs to be fought for. But its champions will be successful only if they understand what they are defending.

Jesse Jackson, the civil rights leader, activist, raconteur, and political candidate, finally gets a book worthy of his stature courtesy of CNN anchor Abby Phillip. Focusing on his presidential runs in 1984 and, especially, 1988, Phillip highlights how Jackson built an unlikely coalition that showed how Black political power could be consolidated. His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organizing the SLCC’s Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns.

No es el mercado. Es un juego amañado. Vivir en nuestras ciudades es como jugar una partida amañada de Monopoly: unos pocos acumulan propiedades mientras la mayoría lucha por no quedarse fuera. ¿El resultado?

En este ensayo breve, ágil y respaldado por años de investigación, Jaime Palomera desmonta uno a uno los mitos que rodean al mercado de la vivienda.

Angry interrogators threaten their families and lie about their whereabouts. One prisoner is even told she is dead.

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character." A superb orator, Martin Luther King Jr. spearheaded a peaceful march on Washington D.C., where he delivered his famous speech, "l Have a Dream", to 250,000 people.
