  Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites—for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values—it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II respond definitively: the answer is "white." The majority of white Christians in America, they argue, are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that shapes their faith, their politics, and more. The Religion of Whiteness, they argue, raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a level of spiritual commitment that rivals followers' commitment to Christianity itself. 
   
   
   
  Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans—and what can be done to confront it.

  Does it matter who owns and funds the media? As journalists and management consultants set off in search of new business models, there's a pressing need to understand anew the economic underpinnings of journalism and its role in democratic societies. 
   
   
   
  How Media Ownership Matters provides a fresh approach to understanding news media power, moving beyond the typical emphasis on market concentration or media moguls. Through a comparative analysis of the US, Sweden, and France, as well as interviews of news executives and editors and an original collection of industry data, this book maps and analyzes four ownership models: market, private, civil society, and public. Highlighting the effects of organizational logics, funding, and target audiences on the content of news, the authors identify both the strengths and weaknesses various forms of ownership have in facilitating journalism that meets the democratic ideals of reasoned, critical, and inclusive public debate. Ultimately, How Media Ownership Matters provides a roadmap to understanding how variable forms of ownership are shaping the future of journalism and democracy.

  The National Assembly - Crafting...

  The formation of the National Assembly marked a turning point in history, reshaping governance and laying the foundation for constitutional rule. It emerged from the political turmoil of a monarchy struggling with financial crises, social unrest, and an outdated feudal system. The roots of the National Assembly can be traced back to the Estates-General, a centuries-old advisory body that had long been dormant. When King Louis XVI convened the Estates-General in 1789 to address France’s dire economic situation, he unintentionally set the stage for a political transformation that would redefine the nation. 
  The Estates-General was composed of three estates: the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners, known as the Third Estate. Each estate traditionally held equal voting power despite vast disparities in population and influence. The Third Estate, which represented the majority of the French people, found itself consistently outvoted by the privileged classes. Frustration over this imbalance, coupled with widespread demands for political reform, led the Third Estate to take a decisive stand. Rejecting the old voting structure, its representatives declared themselves the true voice of the nation and proclaimed the formation of the National Assembly on June 17, 1789. This act was not merely a procedural shift but a bold assertion of sovereignty, challenging the very legitimacy of absolute monarchy. 
  The declaration of the National Assembly was met with immediate resistance from the monarchy and conservative factions. King Louis XVI initially dismissed the move, attempting to maintain control through traditional authority. However, support for the Assembly grew rapidly, fueled by Enlightenment ideals advocating for representative government and individual rights.
