Descripción del artículo del vendedor

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - American democracy is at an inflection point. Will we stride toward the 22nd century with evidence and will Or will we lurch fearfully backwards, reinscribing the white supremist domination of the 19th century After hundreds of urban protests in the 1960s, the presidential Kerner Commission, composed mainly of privileged white men, concluded, 'It is time to make good the promise of American democracy to all citizens--urban and rural, white and Black, Spanish surname, American Indian and every minority group.' Today it still is time--to reduce racial injustice, economic inequality, and poverty.Since the Kerner Commission, there has been little or no progress in some areas, and in other ways things have gotten worse. Yet the visionaries on these pages are passionate about how the problem is not lack of resources, nor a dearth of knowledge on the economic, education, youth investment, criminal justice, public health, and housing policies that work. Rather, the problem is that America still does not have the 'new will' the Kerner Commission concluded was needed to scale up what works.How to create 'new will ' We need to identify those who are thwarting majoritarian preferences. Use strengthened voter rights and new messaging techniques to advance Dr. King's economic justice movement based on both class and race. Weave the middle class into the coalition. Know that perfect unity is not necessary for effective collaboration. Better expose the exploitation of Americans by the privileged and the rigged system with its big myth of market fundamentalism. Make clear how that exploitation is smoke-screened by cultural deniers. Build moral language and moral fusion coalitions to revive the heart of democracy and advance a Third Reconstruction. Recover a moral commitment to long-term struggle. Balance outraged intensity with bridge-building persuasion. Don't just preach to the choir--but recognize that the choir is where, to use John Lewis' phrase, good trouble starts. Strengthen the role of nonprofit organizations. Base action on evidence and science, not on ideology, supposition, disinformation, and misinformation. Advocate for how universities can better engage their communities. And create a Harry Belafonte-like infrastructure of hope and empathy through the visual arts, monuments, and the performing arts. Through this book, and through its companion volume--the republication of the original Kerner Report of 1968--we commit to enhancing the movement and healing our divided society.Book Features: Brings together public and private sector decision-makers, seminal thinkers, activists, advocates, students, and commonsense change-oriented scholars to address a broad range of economic, education, youth investment, criminal justice, public health, and housing issues requiring urgent action. Cuts through campaign rhetoric to focus on evidence and science, not on ideology, supposition, disinformation, and misinformation. Examines what we have learned since the Kerner Commission and updates trends in economic, education, police reform, youth development, public health, and housing policies. Identifies what works and what doesn't work. Offers core lessons and takeaways for creating new political will to reduce racial and economic injustice, inequality, and poverty.Contributors: William Barber, Jared Bernstein, Cornell William Brooks, LaTosha Brown, Elliott Currie, Linda Darling-Hammond, Robert Faris, Michael Feuer, John Jackson, Margaret Morton, Janet Murguia, Naomi Oreskes, Claudia Pena, Lisa Rice, Loretta Ross, Richard Rothstein, Anat Shenker-Osorio, Dorothy Stoneman, Michelle Williams, Valerie Wilson, Felicia Wong, Julian Zelizer.…
