Democracy by Petition: Popular Politics in Transformation, 1790-1870

Known as the age of democracy, the nineteenth century witnessed the extension of the franchise and the rise of party politics. As Daniel Carpenter shows, however, democracy in America emerged not merely through elections and parties, but through the transformation of an ancient political tool: the petition. A statement of grievance accompanied by a list of signatures, the petition afforded women and men excluded from formal politics the chance to make their voices heard and to reshape the landscape of political possibility. Democracy by Petition traces the explosion and expansion of petitioning across the North American continent. Indigenous tribes in Canada, free Blacks from Boston to the British West Indies, Irish canal workers in Indiana, and Hispanic settlers in territorial New Mexico all used petitions to make claims on those in power. Petitions facilitated the extension of suffrage, the decline of feudal land tenure, and advances in liberty for women, African Americans, and Indigenous peoples. Even where petitioners failed in their immediate aims, their campaigns advanced democracy by setting agendas, recruiting people into political causes, and fostering aspirations of equality. The coming of democracy in America owes much to the unprecedented energy with which the petition was employed in the antebellum period.

Being Heumann: The Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist

Brought to you by Penguin. A story of fighting to belong in a world that wasn't built for all of us and of one woman's activism--from the streets of Brooklyn and San Francisco to inside the halls of Washington--Being Heumann recounts Judy Heumann's lifelong battle to achieve respect, acceptance, and inclusion in society. Paralyzed from polio at eighteen months, Judy Heumann began her struggle for equality early in life. From fighting to attend grade school after being described as a 'fire hazard' to later winning a lawsuit against the New York City school system for denying her a teacher's license, to leading the section 504 sit-in that led to the creation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Judy's actions set a precedent that fundamentally improved rights for disabled people around the globe. Candid, intimate, and irreverent, Judy Heumann's memoir about resistance to exclusion invites readers to imagine and make real a world in which we all belong. © Judith Heumann, Kristen Joiner 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Human Rights: A Very Short Introduction, 2nd edition

Today it is usually not long before a problem gets expressed as a human rights issue. Indeed, human rights law continues to gain increasing attention internationally, and must move quickly in order to keep up with a social world that changes so rapidly. This Very Short Introduction, in its second edition, brings the issue of human rights up to date, considering the current controversies surrounding the movement. Discussing torture and arbitrary detention in the context of counter terrorism, Andrew Clapham also considers new challenges to human rights in the context of privacy, equality and the right to health. Looking at the philosophical justification for rights, the historical origins of human rights, and how they are formed in law, Clapham explains what our human rights actually are, what they might be, and where the human rights movement is heading.

No es cuento, es Historia (It's Not Fiction, it's History)

Este libro nació en el aire: en las ondas hertzianas que transmitían los micros sobre el pasado de Venezuela que escribió Inés Quintero. Ahora, esta edición permite volver a disfrutar de todos esos divertidos y asombrosos asomos a la historia nacional con toda la frescura, inteligencia y sentido del humor de esta académica tan prestigiosa y tan hábil para comunicarse con el gran público.Los episodios aquí descritos pueden parecer insólitos pero están suficientemente documentados, y revelan un país en el que ya ocurrían muchas cosas que siguen pasando, y en el que los venezolanos también tenían que pelearse con el gobierno, seducirse o engañarse entre sí, buscarse el pan de alguna manera no siempre lícita y arreglárselas para adelantar sus agendas privadas -la libertad personal, el orgullo, el amor, la prosperidad- en medio de circunstancias a menudo desastrosas, como un terremoto o, más comúnmente, una guerra que acaba con todo.Con No es cuento, es Historia, Editorial Dahbar se enorgullece en sumar a su catálogo a Inés Quintero, enjundiosa detective de lo que hemos sido y no menos sagaz intérprete de lo que terminamos siendo.

Open Wounds: A Story of Racial Tragedy, Trauma, and Redemption

On December 10, 1953, tragedy was visited on a family when Nathaniel Allen was murdered on the Sampit River by his white employer, who lured him into the meeting under the false promise of reconciliation. Allen's death was recorded as an accidental drowning, a deliberate cover-up of the bullet hole seen by more than one witness. Three generations later, Phil Allen Jr. revisits this harrowing story and recounts the 'baton of bitterness' that this murder passed down in his family. Through interviews, difficult conversations, and deep theological reflection, Allen takes up the challenge of racism today, naming it for what it is and working to chart a path toward reconciliation. Open Wounds, and the documentary that accompanies it, is a transformative experience of listening and learning as a grandson looks, laments, and ultimately leads his family and his society forward toward a just and reconciled future. It's an essential part of our national reckoning with racism and injustice.

The Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America's Institutions Against Dissent

How far are Americans willing to go to force each other to fall in line? According to the establishment media, the intelligentsia, and our political chattering class, the greatest threat to American freedom lies in right-wing authoritarianism. We’ve heard that some 75 million Americans who voted for Donald Trump represent the rise of American fascism; that conservatives have allowed authoritarianism to bloom in their midst, creating a grave danger for the republic. But what if the true authoritarian threat to America doesn’t come from the political right, but from the supposedly anti-fascist left? There are certainly totalitarians on the political right. But statistically, they represent a fringe movement with little institutional clout. The authoritarian left, meanwhile, is ascendant in nearly every area of American life. A small number of leftists—college-educated, coastal, and uncompromising—have not just taken over the Democratic Party but our corporations, our universities, our scientific establishment, our cultural institutions. And they have used their newfound power to silence their opposition. The authoritarian Left is aggressively insistent that everyone must conform to its values, demanding submission and conformity. The dogmatic Left is obsessed with putting people in categories and changing human nature. Everyone who opposes it must be destroyed. Ben Shapiro looks at everything from pop culture to the Frankfurt school, social media to the Founding Fathers, to explain the origins of our turn to tyranny, and why so many seem blind to it. More than a catalog of bad actors and intemperate acts, The Authoritarian Moment lays bare the intolerance and rigidity creeping into all American ideology – and prescribes the solution to ending the authoritarianism that threatens our future.

Die Propaganda-Matrix: Der Kampf für freie Medien entscheidet über unsere Zukunft

Der Journalismus ist tot. Mit oder an Corona gestorben, nach langem Siechtum. Schon vorher war die „vierte Gewalt“ schwer krank, hing arbeitsunfAhig und durchseucht von Politik am Tropf der Industrie. Das Virus hat dem Patienten nur den finalen Schlag versetzt. Im Untergang bekAmpft der Medien-Mainstream alle bis aufs Messer, die seinen Job Ubernehmen kOnnten. Es wird verboten, verleumdet, zensiert und gelOscht. Wer die falschen Fragen stellt, wird zum Schweigen gebracht. Michael Meyen sagt: Medienkritik war gestern. HOrt auf, die News der Propagandamaschine als Fakes zu entlarven. Schimpft nicht lAnger auf Tagesschau, Claus Kleber, Spiegel und die Zensurmaschine Google. Dass wir bestAndig manipuliert werden, wussten schon die weisen Alten: Edward Bernays, Walter Lippmann, Noam Chomsky. Nun aber ist es an der Zeit, deren Wissen ins Hier und Jetzt zu UberfUhren ? um zu verstehen, was gerade geschieht, vor allem aber als Anleitung fUr die so dringend nOtige Medienrevolution. Michael Meyen zerstOrt den Mythos der Leitmedien, befreit uns aus der Propaganda-Matrix und macht all jenen Mut, die sich fUr eine bessere, gerechtere Welt engagieren: Freiheit ist mOglich, braucht jedoch einen vollkommen neuen Journalismus.

The Chief Witness: Escape from China's Modern-Day Concentration Camps

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 over 1,200 penal camps?modern-day gulags that are estimated to house three million members of the Kazakh and Uyghur minorities. Imprisoned solely due to their ethnicity, inmates are subjected to relentless punishment and torture, including being beaten, raped, and used as subjects for medical experiments. The camps represent the greatest systematic incarceration of an entire people since the Third Reich. In prison, Sauytbay was put to work teaching Chinese language, culture, and politics, in the course of which she gained access to secret information that revealed Beijing's long-term plans to undermine not only its minorities but also democracies around the world. Upon her escape to Europe, she was reunited with her family, but she still lives under constant threat of reprisal. This rare testimony from the biggest surveillance state in the world reveals not only the full, frightening scope of China's tyrannical ambitions but also the resilience and courage of its author.
