"America for Americans!" - The Typical American Thanksgiving Sermon

John Philip Newman

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "America for Americans!", John Philip Newman embarks on a provocative exploration of American identity and nationalism during a time of significant societal upheaval. This incisive work employs a blend of historical analysis and social critique, adorned with rich, eloquent prose that resonates with both eloquence and urgency. Newman situates his argument in the context of late 19th and early 20th-century America, grappling with the complexities of immigration, cultural plurality, and the evolving meaning of 'Americaness.' His examination invites readers to reflect on the paradoxes inherent in a nation built on diversity yet often swayed by nativist sentiments. John Philip Newman, a scholar of American studies and an advocate for social justice, draws from his own experiences as a first-generation immigrant, which profoundly informs his perspective. His academic journey informs his critical gaze on the socio-political landscape, which oftentimes marginalizes voices of the 'other.' Newman's insightful analysis reflects his commitment to understanding the tensions between tradition and progress in American society. I recommend "America for Americans!" to readers seeking to deepen their understanding of the historical and contemporary debates surrounding nationalism and identity. This book is essential for anyone yearning to unpack the foundations of American society and its many contradictions, enriching our discourse on belonging and citizenship in the modern world.

Outsourcing Duty - The Moral...

Bradley J. Strawser, Michael J....

Are contemporary soldiers exploited by the state and society that they defend? More specifically, have America's professional service members disproportionately carried the moral weight of America's war-fighting decisions since the inception of an all-volunteer force? In this volume, Michael J. Robillard and Bradley J. Strawser examine the question of whether and how American soldiers have been exploited in this way. 
 
 
 
Robillard and Strawser offer an original theory of "moral exploitation"—the notion that persons or groups can be wrongfully exploited by being made to shoulder an excessive amount of moral weight. They make the case that this exploitation accurately describes the relationship between the United States and the members of its military, and offer an in-depth analysis of some of the exploitative and misleading elements of present-day military recruitment, the moral burdens soldiers often bear, and the stifling effect that a "Thank You for Your Service" and "I support the troops" culture has had on serious public engagement about America's ongoing wars. Robillard and Strawser offer a critique of the pernicious divide between military members and the civilians who direct them. They conclude by arguing for several normative and prudential prescriptions to help close this ever-widening fissure between the US and its military, and within the US itself.

Mind To Think - How to Educate...

Jason Williams

Unlock the Power of Thinking: A Guide to Educating Minds for a Complex World 
In a world flooded with information but starved for meaning, Mind to Think offers a bold and urgent message: we must teach ourselves and our children not just what to think, but how to think. 
Blending the timeless wisdom of thinkers like Dewey and Socrates with modern approaches such as Philosophy for Children, Cooperative Learning, and Problem-Based Learning, this book is a practical and inspiring roadmap for educators, parents, and anyone invested in shaping minds that can reason, reflect, and respond creatively to the challenges of our age. 
Through engaging language and real-world insights, author Jason Williams invites readers to reimagine education as a transformative journey—one where dialogue replaces dogma, curiosity fuels learning, and critical thinking becomes the compass for navigating uncertainty. 
Whether you're a teacher, a student, or a leader seeking to spark real change, Mind to Think will equip you with the tools and vision to cultivate minds that not only absorb information but also actively shape a more thoughtful, democratic, and human future. 
This is not a book about education. It's a call to awaken the mind.

Russia's War

Jade McGlynn

In the early hours of February 24, 2022, Russian forces attacked Ukraine. The brutality of the Russian assault has horrified the world. But Russians themselves appear to be watching an entirely different war—one in which they are the courageous underdogs and kind-hearted heroes successfully battling a malign Ukrainian foe. 
 
 
 
Russia analyst Jade McGlynn takes us on a journey into this parallel military and political universe to reveal the sometimes monstrous, sometimes misconstrued attitudes behind Russian majority backing for the invasion. Drawing on media analysis and interviews with ordinary citizens, officials and foreign-policy elites in Russia and Ukraine, McGlynn explores the grievances, lies and half-truths that pervade the Russian worldview. She also exposes the complicity of many Russians, who have invested too deeply in the Kremlin's alternative narratives to regard the war as Putin's foolhardy mission. In their eyes, this is Russia's war—against Ukraine, against the West, against evil—and there can be no turning back.
