Speaking Dangerously

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

Dissent is a fundamental right in a free and democratic society, yet it is often dangerous and difficult. This book delves into the complex world of dissent, exploring its history, its challenges, and its importance in a healthy democracy.

Divided into ten chapters, Speaking Dangerously examines the interplay of loyalty, patriotism, and dissent. It features essays by six distinguished scholars who provide their unique perspectives on these issues. They discuss the risks of speaking out against the powerful, the impact of fear on society, and the role of the media in shaping public opinion.

The book also explores the challenges facing dissenters in wartime, the tension between dissent and national security, and the legal protections for dissent in the United States. It examines the role of social media in facilitating dissent and the challenges facing dissenters in the digital age.

Speaking Dangerously also includes personal stories of dissent from people who have spoken out against injustice, highlighting the challenges they faced, the impact of their dissent, and the importance of their stories.

This book is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of dissent in a democracy. It is essential reading for anyone who cares about freedom of speech, civil liberties, and the future of democracy.

In a world where dissent is increasingly under attack, this book is a powerful reminder of the importance of speaking out against injustice. It is a call to action for all those who believe in the power of dissent to make their voices heard.

Shirley Chisholm in Her Own...

Zinga A. Fraser

LOOKING BEYOND HER POLITICAL SYMBOLISM TO CELEBRATE NOT ONLY WHO SHIRLEY CHISHOLM WAS BUT WHO SHE IS—A REVOLUTIONARY THINKER WITH MUCH TO TEACH US TODAY 
 
In the midst of her groundbreaking twenty-year career in the U.S. House of Representatives, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm once declared, “Everyone—with the exception of the black woman herself—has been interpreting the black woman.” Edited and introduced by Zinga A. Fraser, Shirley Chisholm in Her Own Words gives readers a rare opportunity to engage with the congresswoman’s powerful ideas in her own voice. 
 
Many Americans are familiar with Chisholm’s importance as the first Black woman in Congress and the first woman and African American to run for president with either major party. This long-overdue treatment of her work establishes Chisholm as an unparalleled public intellectual, powerful orator, and Black feminist both in her time and now. It introduces a new generation to one of the most impactful proponents of democracy in America. 
 
“A timely, detailed, and inspiring book that helps maintain the intellectual legacy of Shirley Chisholm. The book reveals new dimensions of the congresswoman’s politics, activism, and spirit.”—Regina King, Academy Award–winning actor, and producer and star of Shirley

Revolution and Terror

Graeme Gill

This book is a study of the relationship between revolution and terror. Historically many have claimed that revolution inevitably devolves into terror, best reflected in the way in which after coming to power the revolutionary elite turns on itself, and one section of it uses terrorist means to eliminate another section. Graeme Gill argues that in order to understand the relationship between revolution and terror, it is necessary to distinguish between different types of terror. There are three such types: revolutionary terror, in which the aim is to destroy enemies and thereby consolidate the regime; transformational terror, designed to drive the politico-socio-economic transformation of society that is the purpose of the 'great' revolutions; and inverted terror, which is when terror is turned against part of the elite and regime more broadly. The analysis explains how these different types of terror are related to the revolutionary seizure of power, showing that revolutionary and transformational terror are organically connected to revolution while for inverted terror the connection is mediated through the leader. The argument is prosecuted through detailed analysis of the French, Russian, and Chinese revolutions. The study ends by assessing the contemporary salience of the lessons of the great revolutions in the light of the low level of violence in the negotiated revolutions of 1989.

Why AI Undermines Democracy and...

Mark Coeckelbergh

Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
 
   
 
In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
 
  
 
Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.
