Beschreibung

"Civic Inclusion" examines the often-overlooked history of women's civic engagement and leadership, revealing their crucial role in shaping communities and influencing policy. Despite facing historical exclusion and systemic barriers, women persistently redefined civic duty and transformed political and social participation. The book highlights how women navigated legal limitations, cultural expectations, and gender biases to actively shape society. 

 
The book demonstrates that women's involvement was not merely integration but a transformative process. It showcases their persistent advocacy and innovative organizing to expand civic action, addressing previously marginalized issues. For example, women's grassroots movements and coalition-building reshaped community norms and paved the way for future generations of women leaders.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first establishes the historical context, then delves into case studies of women's activism, and finally assesses the long-term impact of their civic engagement on policymaking and social change. This book offers a unique perspective by emphasizing the transformative power of women's participation, not just their integration into existing structures. It uses a mixed-methods approach, combining historical narratives with quantitative assessments to provide a comprehensive analysis of women's rights, social change, and the ongoing struggle for inclusive governance.

For a Dollar and a Dream - State...

Jonathan D. Cohen

Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
 
 
 
The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
 
 
 
For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.

Democracy in Power - A History...

Sandeep Vaheesan

Private money, public good, and the original fight for control of America’s energy industry.
 
Until the 1930s, financial interests dominated electrical power in the United States. That changed with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal which restructured the industry. The government expanded public ownership, famously through the Tennessee Valley Authority, and promoted a new kind of utility: the rural electric cooperative that brought light and power to millions in the countryside. Since then, public and cooperative utilities have persisted as an alternative to shareholder control. Democracy in Power traces the rise of publicly governed utilities in the twentieth-century electrification of America.
 
Sandeep Vaheesan shows that the path to accountability in America’s power sector was beset by bureaucratic challenges and fierce private resistance. Through a detailed and critical examination of this evolution, Vaheesan offers a blueprint for a publicly led and managed path to decarbonization. Democracy in Power is at once an essential history, a deeply relevant accounting of successes and failures, and a guide on how to avoid repeating past mistakes.

Turning Points - The Role of the...

Ambassador Thomas J. Corcoran,...

Details how the US State Department attempted, and failed, to save South Vietnam from North Vietnamese aggression and the powerful domestic political influences that ultimately led to America's defeat. 
 
 
 
Ten years after the end of the American involvement in the Vietnam War, a career Foreign Service officer, Thomas J. Corcoran, set down in writing his thoughts on the history of US State Department policy during America's involvement with South Vietnam. Like many Americans of his generation, he was perplexed by the failure of America to achieve its goals in South Vietnam. As an ambassador and with over thirty years of diplomatic experience—beginning in 1948 when he was assigned to Hanoi and involving other postings in Southeast Asia—he brought to his analysis a long and rich personal experience with events in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. 
 
 
 
The result is a thoughtful, objective, and well-researched study that chronicles the key policy decisions made by the US State Department throughout the entire period from 1945 to 1975; decisions that ultimately led to the first war lost by the United States. In his extensive study, Corcoran does an excellent job of exposing many of the myths and falsehoods found in orthodox histories of US involvement in Vietnam.
