The Barbarism of Berlin

G. K. Chesterton

Beschreibung

In "The Barbarism of Berlin," G. K. Chesterton critiques the cultural and moral ramifications of the burgeoning modernity in early 20th-century Europe, particularly focusing on the ascendance of German nationalism and militarism. Through a blend of incisive satire and eloquent prose, Chesterton juxtaposes the civilizational achievements of Western culture with the barbaric tendencies he perceives in the political ideologies of his time. The book serves not only as a series of essays but also as a gripping commentary on the philosophical and ethical implications of war, invoking themes of loyalty, identity, and the soul of a nation in Crisis. Chesterton's distinctive literary style engages readers through wit and paradox, making complex ideas accessible while inviting deep reflection on moral integrity in times of turmoil. G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was a prolific English writer, philosopher, and journalist who cultivated a reputation for his provocative ideas and formidable intellect. His keen insights into society, religion, and human nature stem from a diverse background in literature and a lifelong confrontation with modernism, often opposing prevailing ideologies. This book emerged from his passionate defense of the values of civilization amidst the looming threat of World War I, positioning him as a defender of Christian and traditional values during an era of upheaval. "The Barbarism of Berlin" is an essential read for those seeking to understand the philosophical undercurrents of pre-War Europe and the cultural discourse that underpinned it. Chesterton's engaging narrative style and thought-provoking arguments make this work not only a historical artifact but also a timeless reflection on human values in the face of barbarism. This book invites readers to reflect on the moral quandaries of their own times and challenges them to consider what it truly means to be civilized.

University - A Reckoning

Lee C. Bollinger

The American university―one of the most successful institutions in human history―is facing an unprecedented assault from the president of the US. Experts on authoritarianism have drawn comparisons to other countries where strongmen subdued universities as part of their power grabs. Yet as former Columbia president Lee C. Bollinger points out in his account of the university's significance, in such dire times one has no choice but to state clearly and forcefully what one stands for. 
 
Bollinger reveals how the structure of the university contributes to the success of the American system―because it provides those who study and work within it a degree of creative freedom hard to find elsewhere―and why that structure is both impossible to recreate and vulnerable to outside attack. The fundamental mission of the university is to enhance knowledge, but this is not merely a high-minded idea. It is, as Bollinger demonstrates, a notion rooted deeply in the Constitution, specifically the First Amendment, the basis of our political and social life. The university helps realize the First Amendment; the First Amendment helps make the university. Bollinger argues that, with the press diminished, the university remains the only source of truth-seeking for those who still believe in democracy. The university must be defended if the American experiment is to continue.

Hillbilly Nationalists Urban...

James Tracy, Amy Sonnie

Some of the most important and little-known activists of the 1960s were poor and working-class radicals. Inspired by the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers, and progressive populism, they started to organize significant political struggles against racism and inequality during the 1960s and into the 1970s. 
 
 
  
Historians of the period have traditionally emphasized the work of white college activists who courageously took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam and continuing racial inequality. Poor and working-class whites have often been painted as spectators, reactionaries, and, even, racists. But authors James Tracy and Amy Sonnie disprove that narrative. 
 
 
  
Through over ten years of research, interviewing activists along with unprecedented access to their personal archives, Tracy and Sonnie tell a crucial, untold story of the New Left. Their deeply sourced narrative history shows how poor and working-class individuals from diverse ethnic, rural and urban backgrounds cooperated and drew strength from one another. The groups they founded redefined community organizing, and transformed the lives and communities they touched.
