""The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it -- and then dismantle it." Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America -- but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. In How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an...

"A huge swath of Americans see the rest of the country building a future that doesn't have a place for them. It's no wonder they'd rather burn it all down. But the fire can be stopped by Americans who act now to protect their country and its democracy"--

No one else in modern politics has anywhere near the power and influence of George Soros, both domestically and internationally. Backed by the tens of billions of dollars he's accumulated throughout his career, Soros has his hand in influencing the media, activist groups, colleges, presidential elections, global elections, local U.S. politics, and much more. Soros has earned himself a reputation as a "boogeyman" character on the right, and nowhere...

"In an unprecedented demographic shift, Latinos will comprise a third of the American population in just a matter of decades. While their influence shapes everything from electoral politics to popular culture, many Americans still struggle with two basic questions: Who are Latinos, and where do they fit in America's racial order? Laura E. Gómez, a leading expert on race in America, argues that it is only recently that Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans,...

From the preface: A democracy is a system of government by the eligible members of a nation, typically through elected representatives. If the majority of these elected officials do not represent a nation's citizens, if instead they chiefly represent the interests of one affluent class, that nation is not a democracy. In the United States, the wealthy 1 percent, and the wealthier 0.1 percent, pay for the campaigns of the vast majority of the candidates...

Tras casi dos décadas de intervención en la juventud española fueron sustituidas en...

Asistimos a un momento de cesura histórica; uno de esos largos periodos, como fueron el último tercio del siglo XIX, o el periodo comprendido entre el crack de 1929 y el fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en los cuales la crisis y la transformación capitalistas se entrelazan con cambios parejos en los movimientos sociales y políticos. Tiempos de rupturas y esperanzas, aun cuando resulte difícil discernir aún qué perdurará de lo nuevo y qué...
