Democracy in Action - Collective...

Carolyn M. Hendriks, Albert W. Dzur

Government and market failures spur many citizens to practical action today. Around the globe people form renewable energy cooperatives, provide support for marginalized populations, and deliver alternative justice and care services. What motivates citizens to begin such practical problem-solving? How do they engage others? What knowledge do they generate? How do they interact with state and market actors? What risks and opportunities do they hold for contemporary democracy? 
 
 
 
To answer these questions, Dzur and Hendriks develop the concept of citizens' governance space to delineate these efforts from contentious social movements, formal civic associations, and local community organizations. Drawing on cases from around the globe, the authors examine how citizens do functional policy work, develop and disrupt knowledge, and selectively partner with governments and corporations. They reveal complexities and risks posed by citizens' governance spaces while also showing how they offer a distinct form of democratic participation centered on practical efforts and outcomes. 
 
 
 
Democracy in Action provides a new lens for recognizing and understanding the more practical ways that citizens contribute to governance and democracy.

The Rio Grande Sniper Killings -...

John Primomo

Untangle the complex conspiracy that led to the tragic deaths of Charlotte Kay Elliott and Kevin Edwin Frase on the banks of the Rio Grande. On the night of July 13, 1980, a hitman fired a high-powered rifle into the crowd at Pepe's On the River, an outdoor bar in Mission, Texas. He missed his target, a witness in the Loop 360 drug case, but killed two young bystanders. While state court prosecutions for capital murder inexplicably faltered, a federal court gave the assassin a life sentence for attempted murder of a grand jury witness. A member of the judge's staff who was present throughout the trial, author John W. Primomo revisits the dramatic twists and turns surrounding this murder on the Rio Grande.

The Allegory of the Cave

Plato, S. George Boeree

Imagine a world where shadows are reality, where knowledge is but flickering illusions cast upon a wall. This is the chilling vision of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, a philosophical parable nestled within The Republic. More than two millennia old, it remains one of the most haunting explorations of truth, perception, and enlightenment.
In this tale, Socrates describes prisoners trapped in a dark cavern since birth, chained so they can see only the wall before them. Behind them burns a fire, casting the silhouettes of unseen objects. To the prisoners, these shifting shadows are the entire world. But what if one of them were freed? What if he turned toward the light, stepping beyond the cave's mouth into the dazzling reality of the sun? Would he embrace the truth, or would the brilliance blind him? More importantly, if he returned to the cave, could he convince the others that their world was mere illusion?
Plato's allegory is more than a story—it is a challenge. Are we content with shadows, or do we dare to seek the light? His message echoes through time, urging us to question, to learn, and to break free from the chains of ignorance.
