Beschreibung

Internet Access Divide examines the pervasive issue of digital inequality, highlighting the gap between those with and without reliable internet access. The book explores how this divide significantly impacts education, employment, and civic engagement, revealing that consistent connectivity is now essential for full participation in modern society. Through a blend of connectivity statistics and socioeconomic research, the book argues the digital divide is not merely a technological issue but a matter of social justice.

 
The book investigates the socioeconomic factors contributing to unequal access, such as income, education, and geographic location, and analyzes the consequences of this divide on various demographics. Readers will discover how initial hopes for the internet as a democratizing force have been shaped by market forces and policy decisions that have inadvertently created patterns of access and exclusion.

 
By integrating quantitative analysis with qualitative insights, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the lived experiences of those affected by the digital divide. Starting with an introduction to the concept and its measurement, the book progresses through socioeconomic factors influencing access, impacts on key areas like education and employment, and concludes with policy recommendations to bridge the gap. It offers a valuable resource for students, researchers, policymakers, and community advocates interested in understanding and addressing digital inequality.

Toxic Water Toxic System -...

Michael Mascarenhas

The tireless resistance of local communities fighting for ownership of America's third largest water system 
 
 
  
Toxic Water, Toxic System exposes the consequences of a seemingly anonymous authoritarian state willing to maintain white supremacy at any cost—including poisoning an entire city and shutting off water to thousands of people. Weaving together narratives of frontline activists along with archival data, Michael Mascarenhas provides a powerful exploration of the political alliances and bureaucratic mechanisms that uphold inequality. 
 
 
  
Drawing from three years of ethnographic fieldwork in Flint and Detroit, this book amplifies the voices of marginalized communities, particularly African American women, whose perspectives and labor have been consistently overlooked. Toxic Water, Toxic System offers a fresh perspective on the ties between urban austerity policies, environmental harm, and the advancement of white supremacist agendas in predominantly Black and brown cities.

Traumatized - The New Politics...

Catherine Liu

How trauma became a weapon, by highly-acclaimed author of Virtue HoardersTraumatized traces the emergence and triumph of the concept of trauma in public life. From shell-shock and PTSD to the power of Oprah Winfrey and the authentic personal brand, Liu weaves together the history of this now ubiquitous idea and explains what it all means for our society. Trauma culture speaks to our current moment—the demise of liberalism, the expansion of social media, and the rise of surveillance capitalism. Trauma culture promised liberation from repression and oppression but has never delivered. Instead, it has been made into a weapon to individualize suffering, promoting a politics of false consensus. It undermines solidarity and eviscerated the foundations of liberal politics by demanding submission to a regime of vulnerability and accommodation. When suffering is all we have in common, what are we to do when we are all too traumatised to resist?

Sweet Land of Liberty - A...

Rossi Anastopoulo

A delicious and delightful narrative history of pie in America

From pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving to apple pie on the Fourth of July, nearly every American shares a certain nostalgia for a simple circle of crust and filling. But for centuries, pie has been a malleable icon, equally enjoyed at the table and coopted for social and political purposes. After all, it was a slice of cherry pie denied
at the Woolworth’s lunch counter that ignited a wave of anti-segregation protests across the South during the civil rights movement. Molasses pie, a Southern favorite, captures the legacies of racial trauma and oppression passed down from America’s history of slavery, and Jell-O pie exemplifies the pressures and
contradictions of gender roles in an evolving modern society. We all know the warm comfort of the so-called all-American apple pie … but just how did pie become the symbol of a nation?

In Sweet Land of Liberty: A History of America in 11 Pies, food writer Rossi Anastopoulo cracks open our relationship to pie with wit and good humor. She traces the pies woven into our history, following the evolution of our country across centuries of innovation and change and examining how America’s
relationship with this iconic dessert impacted culture across eras—and vice versa.

With corresponding recipes for each chapter, Sweet Land of Liberty is an entertaining, informative, and utterly charming food history for bakers, dessert lovers, and history aficionados alike. Ultimately, the story of pie is the story of America itself, and it’s time to dig in.
