Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This magazine stands for freedom. There was a time when we could be proud. A time we stood silent and the storms came taking upon us destruction paths. Now we're slipping away to ask ourselves what could have been and what might have been. And was a time we could stand up and be proud to be an American first and last. Was once a time our lands we flew our flag free and in glory, we shined. Now we fade.
Download or read book The Sellout written by Paul Beatty and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-03-03 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Man Booker Prize Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction Winner of the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature New York Times Bestseller Los Angeles Times Bestseller Named One of the 10 Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review Named a Best Book of the Year by Newsweek, The Denver Post, BuzzFeed, Kirkus Reviews, and Publishers Weekly Named a "Must-Read" by Flavorwire and New York Magazine's "Vulture" Blog A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality—the black Chinese restaurant. Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens—on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles—the narrator of The Sellout resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: "I'd die in the same bedroom I'd grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that've been there since '68 quake." Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father's pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that's left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral. Fueled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town's most famous resident—the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins—he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.

Download or read book Emma Goldman s No Conscription League and the First Amendment written by Erika Pribanic-Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emma Goldman’s Supreme Court appeal occurred during a transitional point for First Amendment law, as justices began incorporating arguments related to free expression into decisions on espionage and sedition cases. This project analyzes the communications that led to her arrest—writings in Mother Earth, a mass-mailed manifesto, and speeches related to compulsory military service during World War I—as well as the ensuing legal proceedings and media coverage. The authors place Goldman’s Supreme Court appeal in the context of the more famous Schenck and Abrams trials to demonstrate her place in First Amendment history while providing insight into wartime censorship and the attitude of the mainstream press toward radical speech.

Download or read book What s So Great About America written by Dinesh D'Souza and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With What's So Great About America, Dinesh D'Souza is not asking a question, but making a statement. The former White House policy analyst and bestselling author argues that in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, American ideals and patriotism should not be things we shy away from. Instead he offers the grounds for a solid, well-considered pride in the Western pillars of "science, democracy and capitalism," while deconstructing arguments from both the political Left and political Right. As an "outsider" from India who has had amazing success in the United States, D'Souza defends not an idealized America, but America as it really is, and measures America not against an utopian ideal, but against the rest of the world in a provocative, challenging, and personal book.

Download or read book If They Come in the Morning written by Angela Davis and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With race and the police once more burning issues, this classic work from one of America’s giants of black radicalism has lost none of its prescience or power The trial of Angela Davis is remembered as one of America’s most historic political trials, and no one can tell the story better than Davis herself. Opening with a letter from James Baldwin to Angela, and including contributions from numerous radicals and commentators such as Black Panthers George Jackson, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale and Erica Huggins, this book is not only an account of Davis’s incarceration and the struggles surrounding it, but also perhaps the most comprehensive and thorough analysis of the prison system of the United States and the figure embodied in Davis’s arrest and imprisonment—the political prisoner. Since the book was written, the carceral system in the US has grown from strength to strength, with more of its black population behind bars than ever before. The scathing analysis of the role of prison and the policing of black populations offered by Davis and her comrades in this astonishing volume remains as relevant today as the day it was published.
Download or read book Public Education in the Digital Age written by Morgan Anderson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-08 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational technology is now ubiquitous in schooling, both in P-12 and at universities. Despite the imposition of technology in most aspects of teaching and learning, little attention has been given to the implications educational technology has for healthy student development, humane pedagogy, teacher labor, academic freedom, and the aims of social justice. Rather than merely a set of neutral tools, educational technology is bound up with systems of power and privilege that tend to deepen, rather than confront inequality. In calling for a reassessment of the relationship between schools and technology, this book asks readers to think differently about the role technology can serve in socially just schools. An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, social justice, politics, and all those interested in the impact technology is having on the education system in the USA.
Download or read book The Operator written by D. J. Bradley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-03-05 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first installment of The Operator series, Fear No Evil takes the reader on a head-shaking, thought-provoking, swearing-under-your-breath journey through the ugly world of corrupt politics, racial hatred, and terrorism. Fear No Evil presents a new type of African-American hero, a tactical genius who is adept at operating anywhere in the world, under the harshest of conditions. His mixed gender team of operatives, all from elite police, government, and military units, are equal to any task put before them. When Harold Ashford, director of the secretive Urban Justice Research Institute enlists prominent African Americans to combat the opponents of Affirmative Action and other Civil Rights legislation, all hell breaks loose. Dr. Jonathan Richard Burns, leader of the ultra-violent white supremacy group, the New American Frontier, strikes back by kidnapping a Civil Rights leader and murdering his police bodyguards. Ashford quickly recruits ex-military counter-terrorist specialist Dexter Diamond to lead the Institutes team of former government and Special Forces operators on a hasty rescue mission. Ashford then asks Dexter to lead the team as they attempt to protect Congresswoman Sheila E. Winters from a similar fate as she begins her campaign against violent domestic terrorist groups. Using advanced technology, high-tech equipment, and a secret state-of-the-art operations center, Dexter, the team, and Congresswoman Winters engage in a deadly battle against the ruthless New American Frontier and its powerful political backers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Near sunset, one day in early October, not too long ago for some of us to remember with distinctness, Mr. Foss, United States consul at Florence, Italy, took a cab, as on other days, to the Porta Romana. Here, where the out-of-town tariff comes into effect, he paid his man, and set out to walk the rest of the way, thus meeting the various needs he felt: that for economy,–he was a family man with daughters to clothe,–that for exercise,–his wife told him he was growing fat,–and the need in general for an opportunity to think. He had found that walking aided reflection, that walking in beautiful places started the spring of apt and generous ideas. Though in his modest way a scholar, he was not as yet an author, but Florence had inspired him with the desire to write a book. Just beyond the Roman Gate begins the long Viale dei Colli,–Avenue of the Hills,–which climbs and winds, broad, shady, quiet, between lines of gardens and villas, occupied largely by foreigners, to the Piazzale, whence Michelangelo's boyish colossus gazes with a slight frown across Florence, outspread at his feet. Mr. Foss, as he mounted the easy grade, and noted with a liking unabated after years the pleasantness of each habitation glimpsed through iron railings 4and embowering green, thought how privileged a person should feel, after all, whose affairs involved residence in Italy.
