Sinopse

Bizarre Subcultures explores the captivating realm of niche communities, delving into the social dynamics and human behavior that drive individuals to form groups around unique passions. It examines the formation, maintenance, and psychology behind the intense dedication to specific interests, offering insights into the human need for belonging and identity construction. Did you know that some people dedicate their lives to collecting antique barbed wire, or that online communities thrive around seemingly obscure hobbies? The book draws upon historical examples and sociological and psychological theories to analyze these groups, making complex concepts accessible to all readers. The book is unique in its non-judgmental approach, seeking to understand the motivations and experiences of subculture members rather than dismissing them as eccentric. The book progresses by first introducing the concept of subcultures. It then examines specific examples, such as extreme collectors and online communities, before finally analyzing the broader implications of these phenomena in shaping identity and fostering social connection. It highlights how these so-called "bizarre" subcultures are not deviations from the norm but reflections of the diverse range of human interests and the fundamental human need for connection.

    In We Are the Leaders We Have Been Looking For, one of the nation's preeminent scholars and a New York Times bestselling author, Eddie S. Glaude Jr., makes the case that the hard work of becoming a better person should be a critical feature of Black politics. Through virtuoso interpretations of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Ella Baker, Glaude shows how we have the power to be the heroes that our democracy so desperately requires. 
     
     
     
    Based on the Du Bois Lectures delivered at Harvard University, the book begins with Glaude's unease with the Obama years. He felt then, and does even more urgently now, that the excitement around the Obama presidency constrained our politics as we turned to yet another prophet-like figure. He examines his personal history and the traditions that both shape and overwhelm his own voice. Glaude weaves anecdotes about his evolving views on Black politics together with the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, John Dewey, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and Ralph Ellison, encouraging us to reflect on the lessons of these great thinkers. 
     
     
     
    Narrated with passion and philosophical intensity, this book is a powerful reminder that if American democracy is to survive, we must step out from under the shadows of past giants to build a better society—one that derives its strength from the pew, not the pulpit.

    In Radical Brown, renowned developmental scholar Margaret Beale Spencer and critical legal analyst Nancy E. Dowd offer a fresh perspective on the Brown v. Board of Education decision. Noting that decades of flawed implementation have subverted Brown's great promise of educational equality for K–12 public school students, Spencer and Dowd propose a bold framework for a new interpretation of the Supreme Court decision, one that is inclusive, identity affirming, and culturally sensitive. 
     
     
     
    Even as they envision a more equitable future for US students, Spencer and Dowd look critically at the historical context of Brown v. Board of Education, examining the roots of the inequality and segregation the ruling attempted to address, the resistance that the resulting school integration met, and the legacy of attempts to enforce the ruling. They trace the ways in which post-Brown policies have reinforced race privilege for white students and race subordination for Black and marginalized students and show how structural and cultural racism in education have impeded youth development and caused collective identity injury for all. 
     
     
     
    Radical Brown offers suggestions for action to help legislators, school boards, scholars, and educators correct course and enact the decision's true intent—of safeguarding rights based on a common humanity.
