Sinopse

"Protest Movements" explores the crucial role of social movements and political activism in shaping American democracy and legislative outcomes. It examines the anatomy of successful protests, the socio-economic factors driving dissent, and the tangible legislative consequences achieved through collective action. The book highlights how protest movements, while sometimes disruptive, are integral to a functioning democracy, serving as mechanisms for addressing systemic inequalities and holding power accountable. For example, the book analyzes how movements related to civil rights and labor rights have influenced policy.

 
The book progresses from theoretical underpinnings to in-depth case studies of major U.S. protest movements, spanning civil rights, labor rights, environmental protection, and anti-war activism. It employs a rigorous analytical framework to compare different movements, drawing conclusions about protest's role in American society. By incorporating primary sources and quantitative data, "Protest Movements" offers a balanced, data-informed perspective, making it valuable for anyone interested in American history, political science, and the ongoing struggle for social justice.

Beyond Shame - Creating a...

Matthias Roberts, Tina Schermer...

We all carry sexual shame. Whether we grew up in the repressive purity culture of American Evangelical Christianity or not, we've all been taught in subtle and not-so-subtle ways that sex (outside of very specific contexts) is immoral and taboo. Psychotherapist Matthias Roberts helps readers overcome their shame around sex by overcoming three unhealthy coping mechanisms we use to manage that shame. 
 
 
 
Beyond Shame encourages each of us to determine our own definition of healthy sex, while avoiding the ditches of boundaryless sex positivity on the one hand and strict moralistic boundaries on the other. Define your sexual values on your own terms, overcome your shame, and start having great, healthy sex.
