The Divided States - A Story of America's Left

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

America, a nation founded on the principles of liberty, equality, and justice for all, has long been a beacon of hope for people around the world. However, throughout its history, the country has also been plagued by division and inequality. At the forefront of the fight for a more just and equitable America has been the American Left, a diverse and ever-evolving movement that has sought to challenge the status quo and push the country towards a more progressive future.

In this groundbreaking book, we explore the history of the American Left, from its earliest roots to its current challenges and opportunities. We examine the key leaders, movements, and ideas that have shaped the Left, and we assess its impact on American society. We also consider the future of the Left, and the role it can play in building a more just and equitable America for all.

From the labor movement of the 19th century to the civil rights movement of the 20th century to the environmental and social justice movements of today, the Left has played a pivotal role in shaping America's history and culture. The Left has been at the forefront of the fight for social justice and equality, from the abolition of slavery to the expansion of voting rights to the fight for workers' rights.

Today, the American Left faces a number of challenges, including the rise of neoliberalism, the growing influence of money in politics, and the erosion of civil liberties. However, the Left is also experiencing a resurgence, as new movements and organizations are emerging to challenge the status quo and fight for a better future.

**The Divided States: A Story of America's Left** is a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of one of the most important political movements in American history. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the history of America, the challenges it faces today, and the potential for a more just and equitable future.

Abolition Democracy - Beyond...

Angela Y. Davis

Revelations about U.S. policies and practices of torture and abuse have captured headlines ever since the breaking of the Abu Ghraib prison story in April 2004. Since then, a debate has raged regarding what is and what is not acceptable behavior for the world's leading democracy. It is within this context that Angela Davis, one of America's most remarkable political figures, gave a series of interviews to discuss resistance and law, institutional sexual coercion, politics, and prison. Davis talks about her own incarceration, as well as her experiences as "enemy of the state," and about having been put on the FBI's "most wanted" list. She talks about the crucial role that international activism played in her case and the case of many other political prisoners. 
 
 
 
Throughout these interviews, Davis returns to her critique of a democracy that has been compromised by its racist origins and institutions. Discussing the most recent disclosures about the disavowed "chain of command," and the formal reports by the Red Cross and Human Rights Watch denouncing U.S. violation of human rights and the laws of war in Guantánamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, Davis focuses on the underpinnings of prison regimes in the United States.

Testing Education - A Teacher's...

Kathy Greeley

Since the 2002 implementation of No Child Left Behind, the American public education system has been fundamentally changed. Excessive testing, standardized curriculums, destructive demands on children, corporate-style evaluations, and top-down mandates have become the norm. In response, record numbers of demoralized educators have quit, and millions of students have been left educationally impoverished. This troubling transformation has been exhaustively critiqued by scholars and commentators. Yet one crucial voice has been missing. 
 
 
 
In Testing Education, Kathy Greeley recounts the impact of education reform from a teacher's point of view. Based on a teaching career ranging nearly forty years, Greeley details how schools went from learning communities infused with excitement, intellectual stimulation, and joy to sterile spaces of stress, intimidation, and fear. In this ultimately hopeful memoir, Greeley asks us to learn from the past to reimagine the future of public education.
