Social Justice

Thea Able

Sinopse

"Social Justice" offers a comprehensive exploration of the ongoing struggle for equality in our modern world, focusing on systemic inequality, intersectionality, and digital-age activism. This timely analysis delves into the complex issues surrounding social justice, tracing the evolution of movements from the Civil Rights era to present-day advocacy.

The book argues that achieving true equality requires addressing deep-rooted systemic inequalities rather than treating surface-level symptoms. Through a combination of academic research, government reports, and first-hand accounts, the book examines how various forms of discrimination intersect and reinforce each other. It highlights the importance of understanding these intersections to grasp the challenges faced by marginalized communities fully.

The book's structure progresses from introducing key concepts to exploring specific case studies, examining intersectionality, and finally discussing modern activism techniques. What sets this work apart is its emphasis on intersectionality and its accessible yet rigorous approach to complex social issues.

By interweaving personal stories with data and theory, "Social Justice" provides readers with a nuanced understanding of contemporary debates while offering practical strategies for recognizing biases and creating more inclusive policies. This makes it an invaluable resource for students, activists, policymakers, and anyone seeking to engage meaningfully in the ongoing struggle for a more equitable society.

The Democratic Marketplace - How...

Elisa Herzog

Democracy has been hollowed out by capitalism. A narrow view of markets and their aims now dominates thinking about democracy itself. Citizens are ignorant of the deep principles of self-governance, having long since adopted a facile equation between democracy and voting as a consumer choice. Lisa Herzog argues that democracy is still possible, but only if democratic values get embedded in everyday experience―including economic experience. That requires new ways of thinking about markets and their goals. 
 
 
 
The Democratic Marketplace theorizes the foundational structures of a democratic economy, in which markets are not just tools for maximizing profit via exploitation and extraction. To this end, employees are empowered to participate in corporate governance. Economic disparities are curbed so that citizens can negotiate their inevitable differences on a truly equal footing. And while a democratic economy need not eschew growth, it does renounce today's growth-at-all-costs expectations, instead balancing growth with goals like ecological sustainability and the preservation of time outside of work. 
 
 
 
These are not utopian dreams, Herzog contends. The proposals that follow from the theory of democratic economics are already being tested around the world. And the shift in social norms that they necessitate is already under way.

Preparing for War - The...

Bradley Onishi

The insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was not a blip or an aberration. It was the logical outcome of years of a White evangelical subculture's preparation for war. Religion scholar and former insider Bradley Onishi maps the origins of White Christian nationalism and traces its offshoots in Preparing for War. 
 
 
 
Combining his own experiences in the youth groups and prayer meetings of the 1990s with an immersive look at the steady blending of White grievance politics with evangelicalism, Onishi crafts an engrossing account of the years-long campaign of White Christian nationalism that led to January 6. How did the rise of what Onishi calls the New Religious Right, between 1960 and 2015, give birth to violent White Christian nationalism during the Trump presidency and beyond? What propelled some of the most conservative religious communities in the country—communities of which Onishi was once a part—to ignite a cold civil war? 
 
 
 
Through chapters on White supremacy and segregationist theologies, conspiracy theories, the Christian-school movement, purity culture, and the right-wing media ecosystem, Onishi pulls back the curtain on a subculture that birthed a movement and has taken a dangerous turn.

Covert Ops - The Golden Camel

Steve Barker

Two hostages. One cartel. Zero margin for error. When diplomacy fails, the Covert Ops team doesn’t. 
 
A Caribbean paradise. A deadly cartel. A rescue mission that was never meant to succeed. 
 
When two young travellers vanish in the Caribbean, ex-military operator Steve Barker and his team are called in for an off-the-books mission: extract the hostages, eliminate the cartel, and leave no trace. 
 
But the intel stinks. The contact’s hiding something, the money’s too clean, and every street in San Juan hums with danger. What begins as a textbook rescue spirals into a nightmare of betrayal, ambushes, and firefights stretching from the Old Fort Castillo San Cristóbal to the jungles of Saint Ann. 
 
Cut off from command and surrounded by enemies, the Covert Ops team must rely on instincts, brotherhood, and raw fury to bring their people home—or die trying. 
 
Expect: 
• Gritty realism and black humour straight from the veteran’s battlefield mindset 
• Caribbean gunfights, urban chases, and a high-risk extraction deep in cartel territory 
• Authentic military banter and tactics forged in combat 
• PTSD, loyalty, and redemption colliding in the heat of the mission 
 
Perfect for fans of: Tom Clancy, Andy McNab, Lee Child, and Mark Greaney—readers who crave covert ops with bite, not polish. 
 
The mission: rescue the innocent, punish the guilty, and survive the extraction. 
Grab Covert Ops: The Extraction and lock in for the most explosive mission yet.
