The Greatest Works of Jane Addams

Jane Addams

Sinopse

In "The Greatest Works of Jane Addams," the pioneering social reformer and philosopher presents a collection of her most influential writings, which explore the intersections of social justice, democracy, and human rights. Through a blend of eloquent prose and incisive analysis, Addams addresses pressing societal issues, such as poverty, war, and women's suffrage, making her arguments both compelling and accessible. The literary style reflects her deep commitment to pragmatism, as she weaves together personal narrative, scholarly research, and a call to action, situating her work within the Progressive Era's broader movements for social change. Jane Addams, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, co-founder of Hull House, and a leading figure in the settlement house movement, drew on her extensive experience working with marginalized communities. Her commitment to applying social reform to improve the lives of individuals stemmed from her own background and education, as well as her interactions with diverse populations. These experiences enriched her understanding of systemic inequalities and the role of civic engagement in fostering a more equitable society. For those interested in American social reform, ethics, and the development of modern humanitarian thought, Addams's compilation serves as an essential text. Her enduring insights resonate today, urging readers to engage with these historical discussions, recognize their relevance, and inspire a new generation of advocates for social change.

The Making of Black Lives Matter...

Christopher J. Lebron

Started in the wake of George Zimmerman's 2013 acquittal in the death of Trayvon Martin, the #BlackLivesMatter movement has become a powerful and incendiary campaign demanding redress for the brutal and unjustified treatment of black bodies by law enforcement in the United States. The movement is only a few years old, but as Christopher J. Lebron argues in this book, the sentiment behind it is not; the plea and demand that "Black Lives Matter" comes out of a much older and richer tradition arguing for the equal dignity—and not just equal rights—of black people. 
 
 
 
In this updated edition, The Making of Black Lives Matter presents a condensed and accessible intellectual history of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and expands on the movement's relevancy. This edition includes a new introduction that explores how the movement's core ideas have been challenged, re-affirmed, and re-imagined during the white nationalism of the Trump years, as well as a new chapter that examines the ideas and importance of Angela Davis and Amiri Baraka as significant participants in the Black Power Movement and Black Arts Movement, respectively. Drawing on the work of Davis, Baraka, and other revolutionary black public intellectuals, Lebron clarifies what it means to assert that "Black Lives Matter" when faced with contemporary instances of anti-black law enforcement.
