Segregated Schools: Educational Apartheid in Post-Civil Rights America
ISBN: 9780415951166 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Fifty years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that 'separate but equal' was 'inherently unequal', Paul Street, a prominent author in the field, argues that little progress has been made to meaningfully reform America's schools. He considers the racial make-up of today's schools as a state of de facto apartheid. With an eye to the historical development of segregated education, Street examines the current state of school funding as a major source of today's educational inequities, but argues that unequal funding is not to be mistaken for the sole cause of unequal schools. While highlighting...

They Rule: The 1% vs. Democracy
ISBN: 9781612053271 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book reflects on key questions raised by recent movements and statements about the status of American politics and polity-from the Tea Party to Occupy, from the 1% to the 47% to the 99% that is the rest of us. These questions have also been raised by previous generations of labor, farmer, socialist, anarchist, and populist protestors and critics: Who owns and rules America beyond the pretense of democratic popular governance? Why does it matter that the nation's economy, society, culture, and politics are torn by stark class disparities and a concentration of wealth in the hands of a...

Empire's New Clothes: Barack Obama in the Real World of Power
ISBN: 9781594518447 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As Obama nears the middle of his first-term as president Paul Street assesses his performance against the expectations of his supporters. While mainstream journalists have noted discrepancies between Obama's original vision and reality, Paul Street uniquely measures Obama's record against the expectations of the truly progressive agenda many of his supporters expected him to follow. Taken together, the list of Obama's weakened policies is startling: his business-friendly measures with the economy, the lack of support for the growing mass of unemployed and poor, the dilution of his health...
