Summary

"Deep South" explores the intricate history of a region that has significantly shaped American identity, focusing on the legacy of slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and the Civil Rights Movement. This book argues that the Deep South serves as a microcosm of America's broader struggles with race, equality, and social justice. Readers will gain insights into how the plantation economy fueled the rise of the antebellum South and how the Civil War's aftermath redefined social and political landscapes. The book presents a comprehensive foundation for understanding the region's pivotal role in American history.

 
The book progresses chronologically, first establishing the economic and social foundations of the antebellum South, then dissecting the Civil War and Reconstruction, and finally examining the Civil Rights Movement. For example, the book examines the Confederacy's motivations, strategies, and ultimate defeat. The book draws upon diverse sources, including slave narratives and statistical data, providing a nuanced perspective on the region's historical, social, and economic complexities. This approach ensures readers receive a balanced and insightful look at this pivotal region and its impact on the United States.

    Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.

    Educational research has long documented the politics of punishment for boys and young men of color in schools—but what about the politics of empowerment and inclusion? In Good Boys, Bad Hombres, Michael V. Singh focuses on this aspect of youth control in schools, asking on whose terms a positive Latino manhood gets to be envisioned. 
 
 
 
Based on two years of ethnographic research in an urban school district in California, Good Boys, Bad Hombres examines Latino Male Success, a school-based mentorship program for Latino boys. Instead of attempting to shape these boys' lives through the threat of punishment, the program aims to provide an "invitation to a respectable and productive masculinity" framed as being rooted in traditional Latinx signifiers of manhood. Singh argues, however, that the promotion of this aspirational form of Latino masculinity is rooted in neoliberal multiculturalism, heteropatriarchy, and anti-Blackness. 
 
 
 
Documenting the ways Latino men and boys resist the politics of neoliberal empowerment for new visions of justice, Singh works to deconstruct male empowerment, arguing that new narratives and practices—beyond patriarchal redemption—are necessary for a reimagining of Latino manhood in schools and beyond.
