Ergebnis für "Freiheit" in Soziale Klassen & wirtschaftliche Ungleichheit

Grace Blakeley erfindet Kapitalismuskritik neu. Theoretisch fundiert, erfrischend klug und mit umfassender Recherche zeigt sie, dass kapitalistische Strukturen Freiheitnicht fördern, sondern bedrohen. Die Krisen dieser Welt sind keine Ausnahmen, sondern logische Folge des real existierenden Kapitalismus. Nur wenn die Macht von Großkonzernen und der Finanzwelt eingehegt wird, kann die Politik der Alternativlosigkeit überwunden und die Demokratie gerettet werden.

Since the earliest days of the pandemic, care work has been thrust into the national spotlight. The notion of care seems simple enough. Care is about nurturing, feeding, nursing, assisting, and loving human beings. It is "the work that makes all other work possible." But as historian Premilla Nadasen argues, we have only begun to understand the massive role it plays in our lives and our economy.

Long before the pandemic, Ruha Benjamin was doing groundbreaking research on race, technology, and justice, focusing on big, structural changes. But the twin plagues of COVID-19 and anti-Black police violence inspired her to rethink the importance of small, individual actions. Part memoir, part manifesto, Viral Justice is a sweeping and deeply personal exploration of how we can transform society through the choices we make every day.

Why is it that so many efforts by liberals to lift the Black underclass not only fail, but often harm the intended beneficiaries? In Please Stop Helping Us, Jason L. Riley examines how well-intentioned welfare programs are in fact holding Black Americans back. Minimum-wage laws may lift earnings for people who are already employed, but they price a disproportionate number of Blacks out of the labor force. Affirmative action in higher education is intended to address past discrimination, but the result is fewer Black college graduates than would otherwise exist.

Ever since the 2016 election, pundits have been saying our country has never been more divided - that if progressives want to reclaim power, we need to be "pragmatic", reach across the aisle, and look past identity politics. But what if we're getting the story all wrong? In The Marginalized Majority, Onnesha Roychoudhuri makes the galvanizing case that our voices are already the majority - and that our plurality of identities is not only our greatest strength, but is also at the indisputable core of successful progressive change throughout history.

Catherine Coleman Flowers grew up in Lowndes County, Alabama, a place that’s been called “Bloody Lowndes” because of its violent, racist history. Once the epicenter of the voting rights struggle, today it’s Ground Zero for a new movement that is Flowers’s life’s work. It’s a fight to ensure human dignity through a right most Americans take for granted: basic sanitation. Too many people, especially the rural poor, lack an affordable means of disposing cleanly of the waste from their toilets, and, as a consequence, live amid filth.

In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and the persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. In this context, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.

Un manifiesto necesario para una democracia global. Una impactante historia al estilo David y Goliat sobre un joven activista de Hong Kong, quien con tan solo veintidós años está sacudiendo e inspirando al mundo entero. A los catorce años Joshua Wong ya hizo historia. Mientras los adultos guardaban silencio, Joshua escenificó la primera protesta de estudiantes en Hong Kong en contra del sistema de educación nacional, y ganó.

Injustice. Black America. Media. Corruption at the highest levels of government. Only one dollar. This is the case you've never heard of--until now. In City of Los Angeles v. Preferred Communications, the US District Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the US Supreme Court agreed that the city had violated the civil rights of half a million people for 10 years and had refused to comply with a nine-zero decision by the Supreme Court of the United States.

There is a new vocabulary of injustice and inequality emerging out of society’s advances in technology. We are finding evermore outlandish ways of persecuting and violating the rights of citizens based on race, identity, and social bias. For some, the experiences of these injustices are commonplace; for others, they are completely foreign. Jim Code is a new glossary of technological injustice meant to inform and inspire the next generation of social activists and human and civil rights leaders.
