Authoritarianism is one of the buzzwords of our age. But what is it exactly? This Very Short Introduction provides a comprehensive overview of the world of authoritarian regimes, including military, single-party, and personalist regimes. It considers how understandings of authoritarianism have evolved over time, as well as the curious fact that many authoritarian regimes today hold elections. Drawing on examples from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, James Loxton examines the life cycle of authoritarian regimes. How are they born? What challenges do they face during life? Why do they die? The author shows how factors such as natural resource wealth and cross-border collaboration can contribute to authoritarian durability. He also highlights the disturbing fact that even when authoritarian regimes collapse, voters often use their newfound democratic rights to send former authoritarian officials back to office.Mostra libro
As society shifts its perspective on allyship—moving from being "not racist" to "anti-racist"—White allies are being called upon to work toward changing the status quo. However, the vast majority of resources on this topic emphasize educating allies about anti-racism without teaching them how to do anti-racism work. This leaves well-meaning allies feeling stuck, frustrated, and afraid of getting it wrong. Beyond Fragility fills this gap by providing a step-by-step approach to effective anti-racism allyship. This book provides you with the skills to: ● Understand and avoid common mishaps in anti-racist work, such as misunderstanding racism, not knowing how to recognize racism, or not having a clear anti-racist identity ● Cope with emotions like guilt, fear, hopelessness, and anger that may arise when discussing racism and privilege ● Navigate interpersonal interactions, whether it's validating experiences of BIPOC peers, recovering from a racist misstep, or speaking out against racist comments Anti-racist allyship is not an innate essence. But with this book, you can learn skills that allow you to engage in impactful and sustainable allyship in every space you occupy.Mostra libro

Wonder and awe lie at the heart of life's most profound questions. Wonderstruck shows how these emotions respond to our fundamental need to make sense of ourselves and everything around us, and how they enable us to engage with the world as if we are experiencing it for the first time. Drawing on the latest psychological insights on emotions, Helen De Cruz argues that wonder and awe are emotional drives that motivate us to inquire and discover new things, and that humanity has deliberately nurtured these emotions in cultural domains such as religion, science, and magic. Tracing how wonder and awe unify philosophy, the humanities, and the sciences, De Cruz provides new perspectives on figures such as Plato, Aristotle, Adam Smith, William James, Rachel Carson, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Abraham Heschel. Along the way, she explains how these singular emotions empower us to be open-minded, to experience joy and hope, and to be resilient in the face of personal troubles and global challenges. Taking inspiration from Descartes's portrayal of wonder as "that sudden surprise of the soul," this illuminating book reveals how wonder and awe are catalysts that can help us reclaim what makes life worth living and preserve the things we find wonderful and valuable in our lives.Mostra libro
