Summary

In "Pickwickian Manners and Customs," Percy Fitzgerald explores the cultural nuances and societal norms of the early 19th century through a lens that echoes the satirical spirit of Charles Dickens' original "The Pickwick Papers." Fitzgerald's literary style is marked by rich, vivid descriptions and keen observations that evoke both humor and reflection. The book serves as a companion piece, delving into the peculiarities of the Pickwick Club and its members, while illuminating issues of class, etiquette, and the burgeoning Victorian social landscape amidst the backdrop of a rapidly changing England. Percy Fitzgerald, an esteemed Victorian writer, critic, and biographer, was well immersed in the literary world of his time. His close association with Dickens and his appreciation for the interplay of humor and social commentary significantly influenced his decision to write this book. Fitzgerald's own experiences as a traveler and observer enriched his narrative, providing an authentic perspective on the manners and customs that defined a complex era. "Pickwickian Manners and Customs" is a delightful read for scholars and enthusiasts of Victorian literature alike. Fitzgerald invites readers to engage with the past, drawing connections between historical customs and contemporary society. This work not only entertains but also enriches our understanding of cultural evolution, making it a must-read for those interested in the intersection of literature, history, and social critique.

  • Platform Capitalism - cover

    Platform Capitalism

    What unites Google and Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, Siemens and GE, Uber and Airbnb? Across a wide range of sectors, these firms are transforming themselves into platforms: businesses that provide the hardware and software foundation for others to operate on. This transformation signals a major shift in how capitalist firms operate and how they interact with the rest of the economy: the emergence of platform capitalism. 
 
 
 
This book critically examines these new business forms, tracing their genesis from the long downturn of the 1970s to the boom and bust of the 1990s and the aftershocks of the 2008 crisis. It shows how the fundamental foundations of the economy are rapidly being carved up among a small number of monopolistic platforms, and how the platform introduces new tendencies within capitalism that pose significant challenges to any vision of a post-capitalist future. This book will be essential for anyone who wants to understand how the most powerful tech companies of our time are transforming the global economy.

    Generations of Americans have regarded schools as essential for developing the knowledge and civic values necessary for sustaining democracy. Yet, as Matthew D. Nelsen argues in The Color of Civics, traditional approaches to civic education are not living up to their promise for many students, particularly students of color from disadvantaged communities. 
 
 
 
Drawing on lessons from students and teachers in Chicago, The Color of Civics reimagines the democratic purpose of civic education. Nelsen's findings challenge some of the most widely cited civic education research, arguing that the content of traditional civic education courses privileges the political experiences of white political actors, and in turn, contributes to divergent political behaviors and participatory outcomes across racial and ethnic groups. He presents a new approach to civic education that aims to foster political empowerment by centering historically-grounded conversations about current events as well as critical categories of knowledge—those that highlight the agency of marginalized groups. This approach increases rates of political participation among young people of color and heightens political empathy among white youth. Nelsen also explores how the attitudes and lived experiences of teachers drive the implementation of more empowering civic learning environments.
