  We Need John Brown Christians -...

  Reclaim the radical roots of Christianity with John Brown as your guide—resist oppression, confront Christian nationalism, and embrace a faith that demands justice. 
  Christianity began as a revolutionary faith in Africa and Palestine, yet across centuries it has been distorted into a tool for conquest, slavery, and nationalism. In her powerful debut, We Need John Brown Christians, activist and broadcaster Jacqueline Luqman reintroduces us to John Brown, the radical abolitionist whose failed raid on Harper's Ferry and subsequent execution made him known both as "God's instrument" and as America's first person tried for treason. Far from the caricatures of madness or martyrdom, Luqman presents Brown as a model of uncompromising discipleship, a patron saint for those who would resist the misuse of Christianity today. 
  Through a fusion of history, theology, and political analysis, Luqman shows how Brown's legacy challenges contemporary believers to confront white supremacy, resist Christian nationalism, and reclaim faith as a practice of justice. She situates Brown in a broader genealogy of liberatory Christianity, while also exposing how mainstream churches and prosperity preachers have emptied the gospel of its radical edge. 
  Written with urgency and clarity, We Need John Brown Christians invites us to wrestle with the hypocrisy of America's national origin story and to imagine a faith committed to freedom rather than domination. For Christians disillusioned by the politics of their church, for organizers seeking a spiritual framework for justice, and for anyone ready to ask what discipleship demands, this book is a bold call to action rooted in the fire of history.

  Public Startup - How America's...

  AN AMAZON BESTSELLER IN PUBLIC AFFAIRS & ADMINISTRATION 
    
  AN INGRAMSPARK BESTSELLER IN HEALTH POLICY 
    
  Why do some ideas transform entire systems while others never spread? 
    
  We celebrate startups for changing the world. We rarely ask how innovation happens inside government. Yet some of America's most influential healthcare innovations did not begin in Silicon Valley. They began inside Medicaid.  
   
  In Public Startup, physician, professor, and public health leader Christopher R. Cogle takes readers behind the scenes of one of America's most misunderstood institutions to reveal how meaningful change actually happens. 
    
  Through compelling patient stories, political battles, historical turning points, and firsthand accounts from inside medicine, entrepreneurship, academia, and state government, he uncovers the surprising forces that allow new ideas to take root and improve millions of lives. 
   
  Along the way, Cogle introduces three powerful ideas that challenge conventional thinking: 
    
  * The Margins Lead the Middle. Solutions developed for society's most vulnerable often become the standard for everyone. 
  * Bureaucrats Take the Risks. Many of the boldest experiments in healthcare happen quietly inside government. 
  * The Safety Net Is a Ladder. The strongest public programs create opportunity, restore independence, and strengthen entire communities. 
   
  Hopeful, provocative, and deeply human, Public Startup reveals that innovation is not confined to startups or private industry. Sometimes the ideas that change the world emerge from the institutions we least expect. Whether you're a healthcare professional, policymaker, entrepreneur, public servant, or simply curious about how real change happens, Public Startup will change the way you think about innovation and where to find it.

  It's Not Free Speech - Race...

  How far does the idea of academic freedom extend to professors in an era of racial reckoning? 
   
  The protests of summer 2020, which were ignited by the murder of George Floyd, led to long-overdue reassessments of the legacy of racism and white supremacy in both American academe and cultural life more generally. But while universities have been willing to rename some buildings and schools or  
  grapple with their role in the slave trade, no one has yet asked the most uncomfortable question: Does academic freedom extend to racist professors? 
   
  It's Not Free Speech considers the ideal of academic freedom in the wake of the activism inspired by outrageous police brutality, white supremacy, and the #MeToo movement. Arguing that academic freedom must be rigorously distinguished from freedom of speech, Michael Bérubé and Jennifer Ruth  
  take aim at explicit defenses of colonialism and theories of white supremacy—theories that have no intellectual legitimacy whatsoever. Approaching this question from two angles—one, the question of when a professor's intramural or extramural speech calls into question his or her fitness to serve, and  
  two, the question of how to manage the simmering tension between the academic freedom of faculty and the antidiscrimination initiatives of campus offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion—they argue that the democracy-destroying potential of social media makes it very difficult to uphold the  
  traditional liberal view that the best remedy for hate speech is more speech.  
   
  In recent years, those with traditional liberal ideals have had very limited effectiveness in responding to the resurgence of white supremacism in American life. It is time, Bérubé and Ruth write, to ask whether that resurgence requires us to rethink the parameters and practices of academic freedom.  
  Touching as well on contingent faculty, whose speech is often inadequately protected, It's Not Free Speech insists that we reimagine shared governance to augment both academic freedom and antidiscrimination initiatives on campuses. Faculty across the nation can develop protocols that  
  account for both the new realities—from the rise of social media to the decline of tenure—and the old realities of long-standing inequities and abuses that the classic liberal conception of academic freedom did nothing to address. This book will resonate for anyone who has followed debates over #MeToo,  
  Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, and "cancel culture"; more specifically, it should have a major impact on many facets of academic life, from the classroom to faculty senates to the office of the general counsel.

  America Last - The Right's...

  Jacob Heilbrunn

  In America Last, Jacob Heilbrunn, a highly respected observer of the American Right, demonstrates that the infatuation of American conservatives with foreign dictators is not a new phenomenon. It dates to WWI, when some conservatives, enthralled with Kaiser Wilhelm II, openly rooted for him to defeat the forces of democracy. In the 1920s and 1930s, this affinity became even more pronounced as Hitler and Mussolini attracted a variety of American admirers. Throughout the Cold War, the Right evinced a fondness for autocrats such as Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet, while some conservatives wrote apologias for the Third Reich and for apartheid South Africa. The habit of mind is not really about foreign policy, however. As Heilbrunn argues, the Right is drawn to what it perceives as the impressive strength of foreign dictators, precisely because it sees them as models of how to fight against liberalism and progressivism domestically. 
   
   
   
  America Last is a guide for the perplexed, identifying and tracing a persuasion—or the "illiberal imagination"—that has animated conservative politics for a century now. Since the 1940s, the Right has railed against communist fellow travelers in America. Heilbrunn finally corrects the record, showing that dictator worship is an unignorable tradition within modern American conservatism—and what it means for us today.
