Sinopse

Poetics of Social Engagement emphasizes the ways in which innovative American poets have blended art and social awareness, focusing on aesthetic experiments and investigations of ethnic, racial, gender, and class subjectivities. Rather than consider poetry as a thing apart, or as a tool for asserting identity, this volume's poets create sites, forms, and modes for entering the public sphere, contesting injustices, and reimagining the contemporary. Like the earlier anthologies in this series, this volume includes generous selections of poetry as well as illuminating poetics statements and incisive essays. This unique organization makes these books invaluable teaching tools. A companion website will present audio of each poet's work.Poets included:Rosa AlcaláBrian BlanchfieldDaniel BorzutzkyCarmen Giménez SmithAllison Hedge CokeCathy Park HongChristine HumeBhanu KapilMauricio Kilwein GuevaraFred MotenCraig Santos PerezBarbara Jane ReyesRoberto TejadaEdwin TorresEssayists included: John Alba CutlerChris NealonKristin DykstraJoyelle McSweeneyChadwick AllenDanielle PafundaMolly BendallEunsong KimMichael DowdyBrent Hayes EdwardsJ.

    In the future, we'll all be having sex with robots… won't we?
    
    Roboticists say they're a distracting science fiction, yet endless books, films and articles are written on the subject. Campaigns are even mounted against them. So why are sex robots such a hot topic?
    
    Electric Dreams picks apart the forces that posit sex robots as either the solution to our problems or a real threat to human safety, and looks at what's being pushed aside for us to obsess about something that will never happen.

    "God, the Invisible King" by H.G. Wells is a philosophical exploration of spirituality and religion in the modern world. Wells rejects traditional dogma, proposing a personal, dynamic conception of God as a unifying force for human progress. He envisions a universal belief system centered on ethical living, scientific inquiry, and social justice, free from sectarian divides. Through impassioned prose, Wells critiques organized religion while advocating for a rational, compassionate faith that inspires humanity to strive for a better future. This thought-provoking work reflects Wells’s hopes for a harmonious world, blending theology, philosophy, and social commentary. A bold reimagining of divinity for an evolving society.

    Born This Way - Science...

    The story of how a biologically driven understanding of gender and sexuality became central to US LGBTQ+ political and legal advocacy. 
     
    Across protests and courtrooms, LGBTQ+ advocates argue that sexual and gender identities are innate. Oppositely, conservatives incite panic over “groomers” and a contagious “gender ideology” that corrupts susceptible children. Yet, as this debate rages on, the history of what first compelled the hunt for homosexuality’s biological origin story may hold answers for the queer rights movement’s future. 
    Born This Way tells the story of how a biologically based understanding of gender and sexuality became central to LGBTQ+ advocacy. Starting in the 1950s, activists sought out mental health experts to combat the pathologizing of homosexuality. As Joanna Wuest shows, these relationships were forged in subsequent decades alongside two broader, concurrent developments: the rise of an interest-group model of rights advocacy and an explosion of biogenetic and bio-based psychological research. The result is essential reading to fully understand LGBTQ+ activism today and how clashes over science remain crucial to equal rights struggles.

    This is a combo of three titles, which are: 
      - Populism vs. Liberalism: Political ideologies form the foundation of how societies organize governance, economics, and social structures. They are systems of ideas and beliefs that provide a framework for political thought and action, influencing policies, institutions, and the behavior of individuals and groups. Among the diverse range of ideologies, populism and liberalism have emerged as two of the most significant and often opposing forces in modern political discourse. This chapter introduces the concepts of populism and liberalism, highlights their importance, and sets the stage for the comparative analysis that follows. 
      - The Populist Playbook: Populism, as a political ideology and movement, is rooted in the idea of a fundamental divide between "the people" and "the elite." It asserts that the common people, often portrayed as hardworking and morally upright, are being oppressed or ignored by an elite class of politicians, businessmen, and intellectuals who are perceived as self-serving and out of touch with the needs of the general public. The term "populism" has evolved over time and can be used to describe a range of political movements and leaders who claim to represent the interests of the ordinary person against established powers. 
      - The Impact of Populism: The roots of populism stretch back to the 19th century, with early movements advocating for the empowerment of ordinary citizens, particularly in agricultural societies. However, the modern manifestation of populism began to take shape in the mid-20th century and accelerated in the 21st century, fueled by growing disillusionment with traditional political elites. The rise of social media, economic inequality, and a globalized world have all contributed to populism's recent resurgence, particularly in Western democracies.

  • Faith's Answers to America's Political Crisis - How Religion Can Help Us Out of the Mess We're In - cover

    Faith's Answers to America's...

    Can the faith in God that most Americans share help us out of the political mess we're in? 
     
     
     
    As both a religiously observant person and a veteran of forty years in elective office, Senator Joe Lieberman is uniquely prepared to answer this question. In fact, he is the first person with political experience to pose and answer such a question in response to the current crisis of political division and governmental dysfunction in America. 
     
     
     
    Lieberman breaks down the causes of our political problems—including partisanship, incivility, and refusal to compromise—and then describes what the monotheistic faith that Christians, Jews, and Muslims share calls on us to do to overcome those problems. 
     
     
     
    He directs this appeal to members of Congress and the White House; leaders of the news and entertainment industry, who have such a large influence on our values and political behavior; and members of the clergy, who need to be leaders of a new Religious Awakening in America. 
     
     
     
    This book will provide a totally different way to look at American politics and government. It will open your mind and heart and give you hope for a better, more united future for our country.
