  Living in the Future -...

  Living in the Future reveals the unexplored impact of utopian thought on the major figures of the Civil Rights Movement. 
    
  Utopian thinking is often dismissed as unrealistic, overly idealized, and flat-out impractical—in short, wholly divorced from the urgent conditions of daily life. This is perhaps especially true when the utopian ideal in question is reforming and repairing the United States’ bitter history of racial injustice. But as Victoria W. Wolcott provocatively argues, utopianism is actually the foundation of a rich and visionary worldview, one that specifically inspired the major figures of the Civil Rights Movement in ways that haven’t yet been fully understood or appreciated. 
   
  Wolcott makes clear that the idealism and pragmatism of the Civil Rights Movement were grounded in nothing less than an intensely utopian yearning. Key figures of the time, from Martin Luther King Jr. and Pauli Murray to Father Divine and Howard Thurman, all shared a belief in a radical pacificism that was both specifically utopian and deeply engaged in changing the current conditions of the existing world. Living in the Future recasts the various strains of mid-twentieth-century civil rights activism in a utopian light, revealing the power of dreaming in a profound and concrete fashion, one that can be emulated in other times that are desperate for change, like today.

  The Great Retreat - How...

  Once a centralizing force of the democratic process, political parties have eroded over the past fifty years. Parties now rank among the most unpopular institutions in society—less trusted than business, the police, and the media. Identification with parties has plummeted, and even those who are loyal to a party report feeling that parties care more about special interests than about regular citizens. What does a "good" political party look like? Why do we urgently need them? And how do we get them? 
   
   
   
  The Great Retreat explores the development of political parties as democracy expanded across the West in the nineteenth century. It focuses in particular on mass parties, and the ways they served as intermediaries that fostered ties between citizens and governments. 
   
   
   
  For democracy to adapt to a new era of global capitalism, Kuo makes the case that we need strong intermediaries like mass parties—socially embedded institutions with deep connections to communities and citizens. Parties are essential to long-term democratic stability and economic growth, while the breakdown of party systems, on the other hand, has historically led to democratic collapse. As trust in political parties has plummeted, The Great Retreat provides a powerful defense of political parties—for without parties, democratic representation is impossible.

  Canada's Indian Act - Policy...

  Steven Christianson

  A time capsule from the early 1990s, this book is one-half academic analysis and one-half practical experience. It offers a learning reference for students of indigenous relations, as well as politics and administration, and serves a unique insight into a policy area that has again in recent years assumed center-stage in Canada. 
  This publication takes two earlier works from 1992 and 1993 respectively: an academic thesis on what was at the time called Indian policy and Canada's Indian Act, and a major research study for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. Both have been reworked into this new book. 
  Chapter 1: Perspectives from Academia is a reproduction of a Master’s thesis in 1992. When originally prepared, this study represented one of few such studies in Canada that considered the politics and administration issues of Aboriginal governance in Canada. 
  Chapter II: Perspectives from Practice is a reproduction of a final report produced collaboratively with the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. This report explained how the Indian Act both protected, yet stymied, anyone with entrepreneurial drive if that person, or groups of people, were located on-reserve. 
  Both parts of this book were prepared during a brief “moment” 30 years ago when indigenous issues became a national priority. The controversies around the Meech Lake Accord, the military-Mohawk confrontation at Oka, and the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples highlighted the desperation all too characteristic of Canada’s indigenous reality. Then, as today, Canada’s Indian Act and its legacy, lie at the heart of it all – a reality that indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians alike struggle to reconcile.
