Liberalism's Crooked Circle: Letters to Adam Michnik
ISBN: 9780691004471 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. This book is a profoundly moving and analytically incisive attempt to shift the terms of discussion in American politics. It speaks to the intellectual and political weaknesses within the liberal tradition that have put the United States at the mercy of libertarian, authoritarian populist, nakedly racist, and traditionalist elitist versions of the right-wing; and it seeks to identify resources that can move the left away from the stunned intellectual incoherence with which it has met the death of Bolshevism. In Ira Katznelson's view, Americans are squandering a tremendous ethical and...

Desolation and Enlightenment: Political Knowledge After Total War, Totalitarianism, and the Holocaust
ISBN: 9780231111942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. During and especially after the Second World War, a group of leading scholars who had been perilously close to the war's devastation joined others fortunate enough to have been protected by distance in an effort to redefine and reinvigorate Western liberal ideals for a radically new age. Treating evil as an analytical category, they sought to discover the sources of twentieth-century horror and the potentialities of the modern state in the wake of western desolation. In the process, they devised strikingly new ways to understand politics, sociology and history that reverberate still. In this...

When Affirmative Action Was White: An Untold History of Racial Inequality in Twentieth-Century America
ISBN: 9780393328516 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In this "penetrating new analysis" (New York Times Book Review) Ira Katznelson fundamentally recasts our understanding of twentieth-century American history and demonstrates that all the key programs passed during the New Deal and Fair Deal era of the 1930s and 1940s were created in a deeply discriminatory manner. Through mechanisms designed by Southern Democrats that specifically excluded maids and farm workers, the gap between blacks and whites actually widened despite postwar prosperity. In the words of noted historian Eric Foner, "Katznelson's incisive book should change the terms of...

Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time
ISBN: 9780871407382 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. A work that deeply reconceptualizes the New Deal and raises countless provocative questions (David Kennedy), Fear Itself changes the ground rules for our understanding of this pivotal era in American history. Ira Katznelson examines the New Deal through the lens of a pervasive, almost existential fear that gripped a world defined by the collapse of capitalism and the rise of competing dictatorships, as well as a fear created by the ruinous racial divisions in American society. Katznelson argues that American democracy was both saved and distorted by a Faustian collaboration that guarded...

City Trenches: Urban Politics and the Patterning of Class in the United States
ISBN: 9780226426730 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In "City Trenches," Ira Katznelson looks at an important phenomenon of the sixties the resurgence of community activism and explains its sources, challenges, and failure. Katznelson argues that the American working class perceives workplace politics and community politics as separate and distinct spheres, a perception that defeats attempts to address grievances or raise demands that break the rules of local politics or of bread-and-butter unionism. He supports his thesis with an absorbing case study of Washington Heights-Inwood, a multiethnic working-class community in Manhattan."

Shaped by War and Trade: International Influences on American Political Development
ISBN: 9780691057040 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In the twenty-first century, globalization poses major challenges to the key players in U.S. domestic politics--challenges similar to many that Americans have faced from abroad since the nation's founding. But it is only in recent decades that links have been drawn between the study of American political development and international relations; even now, emphasis falls primarily on how domestic politics affects the world arena. This book redresses the imbalance. Ten leading scholars explore how, over the past two centuries, the changing positions of the United States in the...

Applying an original theoretical framework, an international group of historians and social scientists here explores how class, rather than other social bonds, became central to the ideologies, dispositions, and actions of working people, and how this process was translated into diverse institutional legacies and political outcomes. Focusing principally on France. Germany, and the United States, the contributors examine the historically contingent connections between class, as objectively structured and experienced, and collective perceptions and responses as they develop in work,...

Marxism and the City
ISBN: 9780198279242 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this work, Katznelson critically analyzes the development of Marxist scholarship on cities in the last quarter century. He demonstrates how some of the most important weaknesses in Marxism as a social theory can be remedied by forcing it to seriously engage with cities and spatial concerns, and explains the significant shortcomings even of this "improved" Marxism. Katznelson explores how a Marxism that is open to engagement with other social-theoretical traditions can help illuminate our understanding of cities and the patterns of class and group formation that have characterized...

Religion and the Political Imagination
ISBN: 9780521147347 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The theory of secularisation became a virtually unchallenged truth of twentieth-century social science. First sketched out by Enlightenment philosophers, then transformed into an irreversible global process by nineteenth-century thinkers, the theory was given substance by the precipitate drop in religious practice across Western Europe in the 1960s. However, the re-emergence of acute conflicts at the interface between religion and politics has confounded such assumptions. It is clear that these ideas must be rethought. Yet, as this distinguished, international team of scholars reveal, not...

Religious Conversion: History, Experience and Meaning
ISBN: 9781472421494 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Religious conversion - a shift in membership from one community of faith to another - can take diverse forms in radically different circumstances. As the essays in this volume demonstrate, conversion can be protracted or sudden, voluntary or coerced, small-scale or large. It may be the result of active missionary efforts, instrumental decisions, or intellectual or spiritual attraction to a different doctrine and practices. In order to investigate these multiple meanings, and how they may differ across time and space, this collection ranges far and wide across medieval and early modern Europe...

Throughout the nineteenth century, legal barriers to Jewish citizenship were lifted in Europe, enabling organized Jewish communities and individuals to alter radically their relationships with the institutions of the Christian West.
