The Abolition of White Democracy
ISBN: 9780816642786 / Angielski / Miękka / 197 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Joel Olson contends that, given the history of slavery and segregation in the United States, American citizenship is a form of racial privilege in which whites are equal to each other but superior to everyone else. In Olson's analysis we see how the...

In "A Not So Foreign Affair" Andrea Slane investigates the influence of images of Nazism on debates about sexuality that are central to contemporary American political rhetoric. By analyzing an array of films, journalism, scholarly theories, melodrama, video, and propaganda literature, Slane describes a common rhetoric that emerged during the 1930s and 1940s as a means of distinguishing "democratic sexuality" from that ascribed to Nazi Germany.

ISBN: 9780822329107 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For the most part, democracy is simply presumed to exist in the United States.

Drawing on literary criticism, cultural studies, history, legal studies, and political theory, the essays collected here highlight competing definitions and practices of democracy...

Imagining Interest in Political Thought: Origins of Economic Rationality
ISBN: 9780822331223 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Imagining Interest in Political Thought" argues that monistic interest--or the shaping and coordination of different pursuits through imagined economies of self and public interest--constitutes the end and means of contemporary liberal government. The paradigmatic theorist of monistic interest is the English political philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832), whose concept of utilitarianism calls for maximization of pleasure by both individuals and the state. Stephen G. Engelmann contends that commentators have too quickly dismissed Bentham's philosophy as a crude materialism with antiliberal...

ISBN: 9780824824877 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Each country has on occasion been torn by violence over the proper terms for accommodating pluralism.
