  "Kaya mo ba?" Can you take it? An instructor asks a group of migrant workers in the Philippines, as they prepare for domestic work in wealthier countries. Can you take the grueling work? "Kaya," the women say. "We can." 
   
   
   
  The phrase "human trafficking" often conjures nightmarish images of sexual exploitation, but Rhacel Salazar Parreñas reveals that the vast majority of trafficking victims are domestic workers who suffer abuse not at the hands of crime lords but rather "ordinary" family employers. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on twenty years of groundbreaking research across three continents, Parreñas exposes the grim realities faced by migrant workers ensnared in forced labor due to poverty and debt bondage. She uncovers how entrenched social and legal norms, coupled with a patronizing "employer savior complex," foster a troubling sense of ownership among employers over "their" domestic workers. 
   
   
   
  Through powerful firsthand accounts, Parreñas illustrates the migrants' desperation, and the power dynamics that lead to a global network of exploitation. Parreñas's narrative challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about everyday household arrangements and calls for justice and fair treatment for all workers.

  In advance of the 2020 election, legal scholar Lawrence Douglas prepares readers for a less-than-peaceful transition of power. It doesn't require a strong imagination to get a sense of the mayhem Trump will unleash if he loses a closely contested election. It is no less disturbing to imagine Trump still insisting that he is the rightful leader of the nation. With millions of diehard supporters firmly believing that their revered president has been toppled by malignant forces of the Deep State, Trump could remain a force of constitutional chaos for years to come. WILL TRUMP GO? addresses such questions as:How might Trump engineer his refusal to acknowledge electoral defeat? What legal and extra-legal paths could he pursue in mobilizing a challenge to the electoral outcome?What legal, political, institutional, and popular mechanisms can be used to stop him?What would be the fallout of a failure to remove him from office? What would be the fallout of a successful effort to unseat him?Can our democracy snap back from Trump?Trump himself has essentially told the nation he will never accept electoral defeat. A book that prepares us for Trump's refusal to concede, then, is hardly speculative; it is a necessary precaution against a coming crisis.

  Democratic Socialism Defined -...

  Democratic socialism is a political and economic ideology that seeks to combine the principles of democracy with the goals of social welfare and economic equality. Rooted in the broader tradition of socialism, democratic socialism differentiates itself by advocating for the implementation of socialist policies through democratic means rather than authoritarian or revolutionary approaches. It envisions a society where wealth and resources are more equitably distributed, ensuring that essential services such as healthcare, education, and housing are accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status. 
  The historical development of democratic socialism can be traced back to the 19th and early 20th centuries when socialist thinkers began to grapple with the failures and excesses of unregulated capitalism. Influenced by Karl Marx, Eduard Bernstein, and later democratic theorists, the movement sought to address economic inequality while maintaining democratic governance. This ideological blend resonated strongly in Europe, where parties such as the British Labour Party and the Social Democratic Party of Germany championed policies that merged socialist ideals with democratic frameworks. 
  At its core, democratic socialism emphasizes that democracy should extend beyond the political sphere to include economic decision-making. This principle advocates for increased worker participation in corporate governance, fair labor practices, and the regulation of industries to prevent exploitation and ensure public benefit. Rather than abolishing private enterprise, democratic socialism often supports a mixed economy, combining elements of both private and public ownership to balance innovation with social responsibility.
