Ancient Society - Or Researches in the Lines of Human Progress from Savagery through Barbarism to Civilization

Lewis Henry Morgan

Beschreibung

In "Ancient Society," Lewis Henry Morgan delves into the evolution of human societies, meticulously outlining the progression from primitive communal living to complex social structures. The work is characterized by its blend of anthropology and sociology, employing a comparative approach that reflects the burgeoning interest in evolutionary theory of the 19th century. Morgan's literary style is both analytical and descriptive, providing a thorough examination of kinship systems, social organization, and technological advancements across various cultures. The book serves as a pivotal text in understanding the interplay of culture and social dynamics, establishing foundational concepts that would later influence the field of cultural anthropology. Lewis Henry Morgan, a prominent American anthropologist and social theorist, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a lawyer and his interactions with the Iroquois Nation. His firsthand observations of Indigenous practices and social structures inspired his interest in kinship and societal evolution. Morgan's academic background in law and social justice paralleled his commitment to understanding the underlying principles of social cohesion, leading him to challenge contemporary notions of civilization and progress. "Ancient Society" is essential reading for anyone interested in the roots of human civilization and the development of social institutions. Morgan's groundbreaking ideas continue to resonate in contemporary debates surrounding culture and evolution, offering invaluable insights into the complexities of human relationships. This book invites readers to reflect on the nature of society itself and the universal themes that bind us together across time and space.

A Country Called Prison - Mass...

Mary D. Looman, John D. Carl

In the first edition of A Country Called Prison, Mary Looman and John Carl presented persuasive data calling for downsizing of America's prisons. Their novel approach continues in their second edition, shifting the beliefs many people have about prisons and their role in the American society. Since the original edition was published, the landscape of incarceration has been changing. 
 
 
 
In their second edition, Carl and Looman discuss the significant world events, such as the COVID epidemic, that impacted the American society in the past decade, which lead to an overall twenty percent reduction in prison populations across the board. The second edition includes a new chapter covering the history of prisons that clearly establishes the fact that prisons have always been about making money and less about rehabilitating offenders. They also introduce the new era of decarceration and desistance, encouraging courts to defer sentences and keep minor offenders at home with their families and in their communities while they work, attend education classes, and receive mental health treatment. Once again Carl and Looman end their book with a rational and daring proposal—Marshall Plan 2024—that envisions a way to bring the criminal justice system into the twenty-first century focusing on social equity and humane compassion for those who want to emigrate out.
