    What does the Constitution really mean?  How did the founding generation intend for us to interpret and apply the Constitution? Are liberals right when they cite its "elastic" clauses to justify big government, or are conservatives right when they cite its explicit limits on federal power? Professor Brion McClanahan, popular author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Founding Fathers, finds the answers by going directly to the source—the Founders themselves, who debated all the relevant issues in their state constitutional conventions. 
    In The Founding Fathers' Guide to the Constitution, you'll discover 
    –How the Constitution was designed to protect rather than undermine the rights of states; 
    –Why Congress, not the executive branch, was meant to be dominant—and why the Founders would have argued for impeaching many modern presidents for violating the Constitution; 
    –Why an expansive central government was the Founders' biggest fear, and how the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were designed to guard against it; 
    –Why the founding generation would regard most of the current federal budget, including "stimulus packages," unconstitutional; 
    –Why the Founding Fathers would oppose attempts to "reform" the Electoral College; and 
    –Why the Founding Fathers would be horrified at the enormous authority of the Supreme Court and why they intended Congress, not the Court, to interpret federal law. 
    Authoritative, fascinating, and timely, The Founding Fathers' Guide to the Constitution is the definitive layman's guide to America's most important—and often most willfully misunderstood—historical document.

    When the State of Israel claims to represent all Jewish people, defenders of Israeli policy redefine antisemitism to include criticism of Israel. Antisemitism is harmful and real in our society. What must also be addressed is how the deployment of false charges of antisemitism or redefining antisemitism can suppress the global progressive fight for justice. There is no one definitive voice on antisemitism and its impact. 
     
     
     
    Jewish Voice for Peace has curated a collection of essays that provides a diversity of perspectives and standpoints. Each contribution explores critical questions concerning uses and abuses of antisemitism in the twenty-first-century, focusing on the intersection between antisemitism, accusations of antisemitism, and Palestinian human rights activism. 
     
     
     
    This anthology provides a much-needed tool for Palestinian solidarity activists, teachers, as well as Jewish communities. Featuring contributions from Omar Barghouti, Judith Butler, and Rebecca Vilkomerson, as well as activists, academics, students, and cultural workers, On Political Solidarity and Justice includes the voices of Palestinian students and activists, and Jews that are often marginalized in mainstream discussions of antisemitism, including Jews of Color and Sephardi/Mizrahi Jews.
