Too many Americans have been disenfranchised or faced needless barriers to vote. Part of the blame falls on the Constitution, which does not contain an affirmative right to vote. The Supreme Court has made matters worse by failing to protect voting rights and limiting Congress's ability to do so. The time has come for voters to take action and push for an amendment to the Constitution that would guarantee this right for all. Richard Hasen argues that American democracy can and should do better in assuring that all eligible voters can cast a meaningful vote that will be fairly counted.

Mainstream conceptions of social work usually consider it to fall within the framework of particular legal and societal contexts. As such, it is presented with boundaries for legitimate action even as it espouses principles that may require it to challenge these boundaries. How does one do social work in legal and societal contexts that challenge these principles with institutional and state-mandated exclusion and discrimination? Should social workers simply act within the bounds of the law in line with their professional sanction and mandate?

"Durante siglos fue el silencio; ahora, muchos buscamos las palabras. Libros como El fin del armario nos ayudan a romper moldes, prejuicios, ignorancias. Y a encontrarlas, a aprender a hablar de estos tiempos en que la sexualidad y los géneros ya se dicen en un plural que crece y crece." — Martín Caparrós. Nadie es realmente libre si la libertad no es para todos. De allí que El fin del armario, una crónica brillante de los cambios vividos por lesbianas, gays, trans y bisexuales en el siglo xxi, no se haya escrito sólo para ellos, sino para lectores y lectoras de todas las orientaciones sexuales e identidades de género.

There are few figures and leaders of recent American history of greater social and political consequence than Jesse Jackson, and few more relevant for America’s current political climate. In the 1960s, Jackson served as a close aide to Dr. Martin Luther King, meeting him on the notorious march to legitimate the American democratic system in Selma, and continued his political legacy, inspiring a generation of Black and Latino politicians and activists. In I Am Somebody, David Masciotra argues that Jackson’s legacy must be rehabilitated in the history of American politics.

Questo libro parte da un’idea: che la nonviolenza sia efficace e, comunque, necessaria. Ma soprattutto che sia una pratica attualissima. Un rifiuto attivo, che si realizza in una proposta filosofica e soprattutto pratica. Questo approccio ottimistico ma concreto alla realtà è in grado di sostenere una rivoluzione permanente: non solo nel rifiuto (della guerra, dell’autoritarismo, della violenza), ma nella ri-evoluzione della società, mezzo per l’affermazione dei diritti, la trasformazione dei rapporti, la distribuzione del potere di tutti.
