Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Social justice has become a common catch phrase for talking heads, academic programs, and habitual Facebook sharers over the past several years. Social justice can seem like a form of entitlement; "we want the equality we have coming due!" In a neoliberal era, social justice can also seem like a catchy form of branding. An unexamined, feel-good political nebula. Over the past two years, the contributors to Lehigh Valley Vanguard have shaken the rug to explore commonly accepted views of how to achieve a just society for all. We've explored what it means to be poor, disenfranchised, and enslaved; institutional racism and classism are frequent topics. The essays in this volume reflect a dialectic inquisitiveness you will find frequently in Lehigh Valley Vanguard. A pleading that our systems do not go unexamined or neglected. From the first essay by Mark Blasini, "The Hell with Rights," we are asked to analyze the minutiae we take for granted in our (sometimes blind) quest for jurisprudence by questionable authority figures. In "How Often Have You Felt Free?" Karen Henninger explores our fractured thinking around structures of oppression along with our tendency towards self-imprisonment. Rob Los Ricos explains the development of the Western world and its precipitation (and perpetuation) of slave culture in "Overcoming a Culture of Slavery." Philadelphia representative Jordan Harris implores us to recognize our implicit racism and its degenerative effects on our culture in "The Dying American Dream of Equality." Jake Johnson takes a look at pressures towards "normalcy" through the lens of Aldous Huxley and Erich Fromm, commenting on our unquestioned obedience to warmongering and self-doubt in an insane world. In "The Language of the Law: a Question of Ownership" I deal with institutional racism, neoliberal erosions of justice, and economic inequality. Along with discussing police brutality and the ever memorable "Stars and Bars" flag controversy, Wes Bishop forces us to search our understanding of equity. Randall Allen glimpses into the life of a literary scholar to uncover historical voices explicating years of cultural violence. Finally, Maximo Vasquez leaves us with some resonant points about poverty and Social Darwinism. Hopefully, this collection will be a companion to your own quest to define a socially just world in spite of convoluted brands and campaigns that claim "social justice" as their empty moniker.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Every act we take up is political. When we decide whether we'd like to do something or say "hell with it, I'm not doing it," we occupy a radical chasm of biopower. The authors in this volume offer reflections on the minutiae of the everyday. Those moments when we can choose to go forth or walk out. Poets, especially, subvert the automatic when they use their habit of attention. The auto-life is what causes poor policies to proliferate. Only acts of questioning, defecting, and ultimately, dissent will bring us to a place where we are actively seeking justice for all. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. From the beginning, Lehigh Valley Vanguard has been a political publication with deep ties to the arts community. If not overtly political, the act of creating art certainly subverts the working class paradigm. In a neoliberal society, the job you do to earn money is supposed to (and truly can) encompass all of life. To be working class and decide to create art is radical because you are expected to be a peon who only thinks about your "professional" life. The artists in our communities have chosen to embrace their ability to create. This collection is dedicated to exploring that choice. Creating over consuming is a step in the direction of resistance. We live a short life and we have to start believing what we do matters. A line from William Black comes to mind, "We were placed here on Earth with little space to bear the beams of love." Art is that labor. We should reflect artisan craftsmanship in everything we do. The collection begins with its namesake "Art and Existence" by Richard Morris, a speculative essay on the life of the creative person. Mark Blasini delves into the concept of art as life in "What it Means to be an Artist: a Dreamer's Manifesto." Doug Roysdon brings out the need to recognize value in arts communities, especially local ones, in "The Regional Arts." To close out the collection, as a form of art appreciation, you'll read reviews by myself, Ryan Scacci, and Ann E. Michael. The arts will always prove essential to political movements. It's up to all of us to support them, nurture them.even just notice them. And to see the artisan within all of us. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In social movements, what propels us? This is a fundamental consideration when undertaking direct action. The authors in this collection show us the depth of political commitments for individuals and societies. Political commitments should begin with ethical considerations, hopefully, cultivating love. To begin, Omar Swartz problematizes everyday assumptions about our humanity in "Cultivating Our Humanity: Moral Imagination, Moral Intelligence, and Love." Then Shayda Kafai takes us through the good/bad dichotomy of suicide and despair by analyzing the impact of Dese'Rae L. Stage's project Live Through This, a counter story-telling archive. Lindsay Miller wonders what makes a life "good" as she reflects on her time volunteering at the Positive Psychology Lab. Karen Henninger discusses the inadequacy of our mainstream narratives describing subaltern conditions in "A State of Vast Humiliation." Amanda Funk continues in that vein as she draws from indigenous traditions in "'The Truth About Stories is That's All That We Are': Interpreting Indianness Across the Years." Alexis Bleam builds on these ideas as she looks at textual hegemony, calling in Jurgen Habermas and Raymond Williams to question the idea of public space. Focusing on female agency, Ketaki Deshpande excavates Bollywood's history of policing private spaces while hypocritically profiting off of public ones. Using the film Dirty Harry, Mark Blasini deals directly with rhetorical authority in popular culture. These authors hope to get at an understanding of how our humanity, or more deeply, our capacity for love and freedom, moves us to evolve for the good of all. In order to do this, we must look at the barriers to our evolution and how they may be overcome. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Art is pivotal in activist movements. Not just signs or info graphics, but truly soulful expressions of art . Remember this as you read Hal Murray's essay "Artists: The Research and Development Department of Society." Murray shows us, specifically, how photographs and literary representations of historical moments have made deep impressions on us-even those of us who were not present during that time. Something that strikes me is how unappreciative we are of these people and their work while they are still living. Perhaps it is because there aren't enough people who possess the will to take a hard look at the world going on around them. Artists surely have that will. In whatever medium they choose, artists completely understand the need for these illuminations of reality. In this volume you will find art written about in a conscious way to draw attention to its political or philosophical significance. As Murray says in his essay, comparing artists to an R & D department, one of the main functions of art is "knowledge creation." Let's remain cognizant of this fact as we also observe art's beauty; there is beauty in truth. This item is printed on demand.
