Book excerpt: Common sense has always been a cornerstone of American politics. In 1776, Tom Paine’s vital pamphlet with that title sparked the American Revolution. And today, common sense—the wisdom of ordinary people, knowledge so self-evident that it is beyond debate—remains a powerful political ideal, utilized alike by George W. Bush’s aw-shucks articulations and Barack Obama’s down-to-earth reasonableness. But far from self-evident is where our faith in common sense comes from and how its populist logic has shaped modern democracy. Common Sense: A Political History is the first book to explore this essential political phenomenon. The story begins in the aftermath of England’s Glorious Revolution, when common sense first became a political ideal worth struggling over. Sophia Rosenfeld’s accessible and insightful account then wends its way across two continents and multiple centuries, revealing the remarkable individuals who appropriated the old, seemingly universal idea of common sense and the new strategic uses they made of it. Paine may have boasted that common sense is always on the side of the people and opposed to the rule of kings, but Rosenfeld demonstrates that common sense has been used to foster demagoguery and exclusivity as well as popular sovereignty. She provides a new account of the transatlantic Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions, and offers a fresh reading on what the eighteenth century bequeathed to the political ferment of our own time. Far from commonsensical, the history of common sense turns out to be rife with paradox and surprise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way that movements communicate with the general public matters for their chances of lasting success. Deva Woodly argues that the potential for movement-led political change is significantly rooted in mainstream democratic discourse and specifically in the political acceptance of new issues by news media, the general public, and elected officials. This is true to some extent for any group wishing to alter status quo distributions of rights and/or resources, but is especially important for grassroots challengers who do not already have a place of legitimated influence in the polity. By examining the talk of two contemporary movements, the living wage and marriage equality, during the critical decade after their emergence between 1994-2004, Woodly shows that while the living wage movement experienced over 120 policy victories and the marriage equality movement suffered many policy defeats, the overall impact that marriage equality had on changing American politics was much greater than that of the living wage because of its deliberate effort to change mainstream political discourse, and thus, the public understanding of the politics surrounding the issue.

Book excerpt: A National Book Award Finalist A Coretta Scott King Author Award Honor Book A Michael L. Printz Honor Book A Walter Dean Myers Honor Book With passion and precision, Kekla Magoon relays an essential account of the Black Panthers—as militant revolutionaries and as human rights advocates working to defend and protect their community. In this comprehensive, inspiring, and all-too-relevant history of the Black Panther Party, Kekla Magoon introduces readers to the Panthers’ community activism, grounded in the concept of self-defense, which taught Black Americans how to protect and support themselves in a country that treated them like second-class citizens. For too long the Panthers’ story has been a footnote to the civil rights movement rather than what it was: a revolutionary socialist movement that drew thousands of members—mostly women—and became the target of one of the most sustained repression efforts ever made by the U.S. government against its own citizens. Revolution in Our Time puts the Panthers in the proper context of Black American history, from the first arrival of enslaved people to the Black Lives Matter movement of today. Kekla Magoon’s eye-opening work invites a new generation of readers grappling with injustices in the United States to learn from the Panthers’ history and courage, inspiring them to take their own place in the ongoing fight for justice.

Her parents are both dedicated surgeons at the best hospital in Wuhan, and her father teaches her English as they listen to Voice of America every evening on the radio. But when one of Mao's political officers moves into a room in their apartment, Ling begins to witness the gradual disintegration of her world. In an atmosphere of increasing mistrust and hatred, Ling fears for the safety of her neighbors, and soon, for herself and her family. For the next four years, Ling will suffer more horrors than many people face in a lifetime. Will she be able to grow and blossom under the oppressive rule of Chairman Mao? Or will fighting to survive destroy her spirit—and end her life? Revolution Is Not a Dinner Party is a 2008 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

Book excerpt: Common Sense: The Key to Saving Our Republic The rise of the Progressive Movement, which has taken hold under the Democratic banner, is one that not only finds both our country and its system of government lacking but is attempting to transform America from a Capitalistic nation, that has prospered for centuries, into a nation that is more dependent on government and less freedom oriented. In order to prevent the reimagining of America, we first must bring the Progressive Movement into the light and expose their beliefs for all to see. This is not the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy or even Bill Clinton, for that matter. We can no longer remain the silent majority. We need to raise our voices for all to hear and stop the changing of America, once and for all, before this movement succeeds in altering our DNA from a nation founded on individual rights and freedoms into a nation of handouts and entitlements, depending on others to get by. When you remove our desire to succeed, you end up with a nation that no longer has the will to excel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the start of Barack Obama's presidency in 2009, conservative populist groups began fomenting political fractiousness, dissent, and surprising electoral success. The Tea Party was one of the major characters driving this story. But, as Khadijah Costley White argues in this book, the Tea Party's ascent to major political phenomenon can be attributed to the way in which partisan and non-partisan news outlets "branded" the Party as a pot-stirrer in political conflicts over race, class, and gender. In other words, the news media played a major role in developing, cultivating, and promoting populism's brand, particularly within the news spaces of commentary and opinion. Through the language of political marketing, branding, and promotion, the news media not only reported on the Tea Party, but also acted as its political strategist and brand consultant. Moreover, the conservative press acted more as a political party than a news medium, deliberately promoting the Tea Party, and aiding in organizing, headlining, and galvanizing a conservative political base around specific Tea Party candidates, values, and events. In a media environment in which everyone has the opportunity to tune out, tune in, and speak back, The Branding of Right-Wing Activism ultimately shows that distinctions between citizens, journalists, activists, politicians, celebrities, and consumers are more symbolic than concrete.

Book excerpt: From Newbery Honor-winning, New York Times bestselling author Adam Gidwitz Cover may vary Did you know that Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds? Really. And that Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half? And that in “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other? (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim.) Those are the real fairy tales. But they have nothing on the fairy tales in this book. For more twisted tales look for A Tale Dark and Grimm and In a Glass Grimmly. * “Underneath the gore, the wit, and the trips to Hell and back, this book makes it clearer than ever that Gidwitz truly cares about the kids he writes for.” —Publishers Weekly starred review “Entertaining story-mongering, with traditional and original tropes artfully intertwined.”—Kirkus Reviews “As innovative as they are traditional, the stories maintain clear connections with traditional Grimm tales while creatively connecting to the narrative, and all the while keeping the proceedings undeniably grisly and lurid. . . .Readers will rejoice.”—School Library Journal

Book excerpt: Hollywood executive hammers the "elite political class" in best selling book Is fixing Washington D.C. really that difficult? Media heavyweight Kent Emmons hit's Amazon's #1 best seller list as he dresses down the political and media establishment, offers up some actual 'common sense' solutions while identifying the new undisputed political majority. The political book, Common Sense 80%, reached #1 in Amazon.com in propelling Emmons into the ranks of Best Selling Author. The political landscape in America has never more divisive. For years, the extremes on both the "right" and "left" have hijacked the headlines and both sides have used it to control the narrative and raise a TON of money for their political agendas. But now, the American public has caught on to the manipulative partisan games being played behind the scenes by the political elite pulling the strings and they are feeling "confidently independent" without the need to identify as a "Republican" or "Democrat". Common sense American's on both sides have started to reject the siren of the establishment self-serving political blowhards on both sides and have begun to think for themselves. All of this is not surprising given that all along, over 80% of Americans actually agree on 90% of the same stuff! This book clearly points out that this new mass exodus from party loyalty and toward common sense thinking has created the new absolute political majority. The Common Sense 80%. But, The Common Sense 80% is not the typical one-sided bitching and moaning by partisan pundits that you're used to reading. The book's forward it by Sirius/XM host Andrew Wilkow who Emmons describes as "What Rush Limbaugh is to the old folks, Andrew is to the younger crowd." Inside these pages, with a biting sense of humor and common sense observations, get to explore how the constitution has been twisted and turned over the years, how that sent America hurling down the path of divisive destruction and what common sense steps can actually be taken to fix it. About the Author Often referred to as "the nicest guy in Hollywood", Emmons was born in raised in Rural Southern Illinois. Emmons says he is "a proud Tennessee resident by choice and a Hollywood executive because, well, life can't be perfect". Like many Midwestern kids, Emmons career began with a lemonade stand, working at the gold course and mowing yards. By 14, he was promoting dances and getting on local radio to promote his events. Since early on, he has been active in local, state and national politics. But the foundation of his career has always been media. Over the years he built a media group that has included radio stations, networks and television production, specializing in niche formats. Among them he created and launched the "vacation station" format in top tourist markets around America and as well as created and launched the first ever 24/7 comedy radio format. Quoted as saying, "Real news should not defined as 'right' or 'left' but should be distinguished by truth", Emmons identified a massive gap in the "real news" market. He and a group of fellow business heavyweights have recently created the soon to be launched Crave News, a new 24/7 live digital television news network that will serve up a "new generation of news" to the younger crowd. With the tagline "real news, no bullshit" Crave News will be the digital home of 'un-apologetic truth' wrapped in a fun, VERY edgy, real and raw live interactive format.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acknowledged as one of the classics of twentieth-century Marxism, Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks contains a rich and nuanced theorization of class that provides insights that extend far beyond economic inequality. In Gramsci's Common Sense Kate Crehan offers new ways to understand the many forms that structural inequality can take, including in regards to race, gender, sexual orientation, and religion. Presupposing no previous knowledge of Gramsci on the part of the reader, she introduces the Prison Notebooks and provides an overview of Gramsci’s notions of subalternity, intellectuals, and common sense, putting them in relation to the work of thinkers such as Bourdieu, Arendt, Spivak, and Said. In the case studies of the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street movements, Crehan theorizes the complex relationships between the experience of inequality, exploitation, and oppression, as well as the construction of political narratives. Gramsci's Common Sense is an accessible and concise introduction to a key Marxist thinker whose works illuminate the increasing inequality in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European social movements have been central to European history, politics, society and culture, and have had a global reach and impact. Yet they have rarely been taken on their own terms in the English-language literature, considered rather as counterpoints to the US experience. This has been exacerbated by the failure of Anglophone social movement theorists to pay attention to the substantial literatures in languages such as French, German, Spanish or Italian – and by the increasing global dominance of English in the production of news and other forms of media. This book sets out to take the European social movement experience seriously on its own terms, including: the European tradition of social movement theorising – particularly in its attempt to understand movement development from the 1960s onwards the extent to which European movements between 1968 and 1999 became precursors for the contemporary anti-globalisation movement the construction of the anti-capitalist "movement of movements" within the European setting the new anti-austerity protests in Iceland, Greece, Spain (15-M/Indignados), and elsewhere. This book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary perspective on the key European social movements in the past forty years. It will be of interest for students and scholars of politics and international relations, sociology, history, European studies and social theory.
