Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Santiago's urban shantytowns, a searing history of poverty and Chilean state violence have prompted grassroots resistance movements among the poor and working class from the 1940s to the present. Underscoring this complex continuity, Alison J. Bruey offers a compelling history of the struggle for social justice and democracy during the Pinochet dictatorship and its aftermath. As Bruey shows, crucial to the popular movement built in the 1970s were the activism of both men and women and the coalition forged by liberation-theology Catholics and Marxist-Left militants. These alliances made possible the mass protests of the 1980s that paved the way for Chile's return to democracy, but the changes fell short of many activists' hopes. Their grassroots demands for human rights encompassed not just an end to state terror but an embrace of economic opportunity and participatory democracy for all. Deeply grounded by both extensive oral history interviews and archival research, Bread, Justice, and Liberty offers innovative contributions to scholarship on Chilean history, social movements, popular protest and democratization, neoliberal economics, and the Cold War in Latin America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accounts of the Arab Spring often focus on the role of youth coalitions, the use of social media, and the tactics of the Tahrir Square occupation. This authoritative and original book argues that collective action by organised workers played a fundamental role in the Egyptian revolution, which erupted after years of strikes and social protests. Drawing on the authors' decade-long experience of reporting on and researching the Egyptian labour movement, the book provides the first in-depth account of the emergence of independent trade unions and workers' militancy during Mubarak's last years in power, and and their destabilising impact on the post-revolutionary regimes.

Book excerpt: Frederick Douglass knew where he was born but not when. He knew his grandmother but not his father. And as a young child, there were other questions, such as Why am I a slave? Answers to those questions might have eluded him but Douglass did know for certain that learning to read and to write would be the first step in his quest for freedom and his fight for equality. Told from first-person perspective, this picture-book biography draws from the real-life experiences of a young Frederick Douglass and his attempts to learn how to read and write. Author Shana Keller (Ticktock Banneker's Clock) personalizes the text for young readers, using some of Douglass's own words. The lyrical title comes from how Douglass "paid" other children to teach him.

Download or read book Operation Breadbasket written by Martin L. Deppe and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2017-02-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first full history of Operation Breadbasket, the interfaith economic justice program that transformed into Jesse Jackson’s Operation PUSH (now the Rainbow PUSH Coalition). Begun by Martin Luther King Jr. during the 1966 Chicago Freedom Movement, Breadbasket was directed by Jackson. Author Martin L. Deppe was one of Breadbasket’s founding pastors. He digs deeply into the program’s past to update the meager narrative about Breadbasket, add details to King’s and Jackson’s roles, and tell Breadbasket’s little-known story. Under the motto “Your Ministers Fight for Jobs and Rights,” the program put bread on the tables of the city’s African American families in the form of steady jobs. Deppe details how Breadbasket used the power of the pulpit to persuade businesses that sought black dollars to also employ a fair share of blacks. Though they favored negotiations, Breadbasket pastors also organized effective boycotts, as they did after one manager declared that he was “not about to let Negro preachers tell him what to do.” Over six years, Breadbasket’s efforts netted forty-five hundred jobs and sharply increased commerce involving black-owned businesses. Economic gains on Chicago’s South Side amounted to $57.5 million annually by 1971. Deppe traces Breadbasket’s history from its early “Don’t Buy” campaigns through a string of achievements related to black employment and black-owned products, services, and businesses. To the emerging call for black power, Breadbasket offered a program that actually empowered the black community, helping it engage the mainstream economic powers on an equal footing. Deppe recounts plans for Breadbasket’s national expansion; its sponsored business expos; and the Saturday Breadbasket gatherings, a hugely popular black-pride forum. Deppe shows how the program evolved in response to growing pains, changing alliances, and the King assassination. Breadbasket’s rich history, as told here, offers a still-viable model for attaining economic justice today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On The Night Of July 25, 1975, Indian Democracy Came Within A Hair-Breadth Of Extinction. A People Who, Thirty Years Earlier Had Wrested Their Freedom From The Greatest Empire On Earth, Came Close To Losing It For Ever. That India Had Been Given A Second Chance To Make Democracy Work Is Due Entirely To The Miscalculation Of The Would-Be Dictator. Mrs. Indira Gandhi Believed That The Indian People, Cowed And Crushed By Nineteen Months Of Unbridled Tyranny, Would Be Too Enervated By Fear To Oppose Her But Mrs. Gandhi Was Wrong. The People Of India Discarded Mrs. Gandhi S Well-Ordered And Regimented Dictatorship And Opted For The Flawed And Imperfect Liberal Model. If The Democratic Concept Came Close To Being Destroyed, It Was Because The People Of India Had Taken It For Granted, Delegating Power To Representatives Undeserving Of Their Trust, And Looking On Their Rulers As Their Masters Instead Of What They Actually Were-Servants On Electoral Sufferance. The Author, A Victim Of The Coup, Had Enough Time During His 15.5 Months In Jail To Ponder The Causes That Led Up To It. What He Found Most Difficult To Swallow Was The Glib Explanations Offered By His Colleagues In Jail About Their Woefully Shallow Understanding Of Democracy Itself. It Is This Realisation Of Pervasive Ignorance And Apathy That Led Him To Write This Book - An Attempt To Trace The Genesis Of Democracy And Search For The Origins Of The Attitudes And Institutions That Sustain It. The Book Tries To Explain The Virtues Of Democracy And How They Were Arrived At; It Also Tries To Warn Its Friends Against The Onslaughts Of Economic And Political Controls And Those Who Would Advocate Them. At Times This Book Will Prove Heavy Going But Human Freedom Is So Precious That The Fact That Plato Or Hegel Or Marx Need Effort And Concentration For A Proper Understanding Should Be Accepted Cheerfully, Their Right Postulates Acclaimed, Their Wrong Conclusions Rejected, And An Independent Assessment Arrived At. Finally, The Book Has An Inspiring Message: If People Are Ready To Live Democracy Earnestly Enough, They Will Never Have To Die In Order To Preserve It. A Liberal In The Best Sense Of The World, Piloo Mody Has Made His Mark As One Of The Great Iconoclasts Of India S Parliament With Devastating Sallies Against The Pompous, The Cur-Rupt And The Incompetent - All Delivered With Wit And Urbanity. By Profession An Architect, With A Degree From The University Of California, Mr. Mody Has The Distinction Of Having Worked With Le Corbusier At Chandigarh.

An Advocate Of Sound And Constructive Labour Relations, Mr. Mody Is Patron Or President Of Several Labour Groups Ranging From Officers Of The Life Insurance Corporation To The Hawkers Of Delhi.

Download or read book Human Rights, Transitional Justice, and the Reconstruction of Political Order in Latin America written by Michelle Frances Carmody and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Argentina and elsewhere in Latin America, decades after the fall of authoritarian regimes in the 1970s, transitional justice has proven to be anything but transitional—it has become a cornerstone of state policy and a powerful tool of state formation. Contextualizing cultural and political shifts in Argentina after the 1976 military coup with comparisons to other countries in the Southern Cone, Michelle Frances Carmody argues that incorporating human rights practices into official policy became a way for state actors to both build the authority of the state and manage social conflict, a key aim of post-Cold War democracies. By examining the relationship between transitional justice and the Latin American political order, this book illuminates overlooked dimensions of state formation in the age of human rights.

Book excerpt: Inspiring the global fight to revolutionize the way food is grown, distributed, and eaten. In the almost thirty years since Carlo Petrini began the Slow Food organization, he has been constantly engaged in the fight for food justice. Beginning first in his native Italy and then expanding all over the world, the movement has created a powerful force for change. The essential argument of this book is that food is an avenue towards freedom. This uplifting and humanistic message is straightforward: if people can feed themselves, they can be free. In other words, if people can regain control over access to their food—how it is produced, by whom, and how it is distributed—then that can lead to a greater empowerment in all channels of life. Whether in the Amazon jungle talking with tribal elders or on rice paddies in rural Indonesia, the author engages the reader through the excitement of his journeys and the passion of his mission. Here, Petrini reports upon some of the success stories that he has observed firsthand. From Chiapas to Puglia, Morocco to North Carolina, he has witnessed the many ways different peoples have dealt with food problems. This book allows us to learn from these case studies and lays out models for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine leaving everything you’ve ever known—your friends, family, and home—to travel along roads you’ve never seen before, getting help from people you’ve never met before, with the constant threat of capture hovering over your every move. Would you risk your life on the Underground Railroad to gain freedom from slavery? In The Underground Railroad: Navigate the Journey from Slavery to Freedom, readers ages 9 to 12 examine how slavery developed in the United States and what motivated abolitionists to work for its destruction. The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses operated by conductors and station masters, both black and white. Readers follow true stories of enslaved people who braved patrols, the wilderness, hunger, and their own fear in a quest for freedom. In The Underground Railroad, readers dissect primary sources, including slave narratives and runaway ads. Projects include composing a song with a hidden message and navigating by reading the nighttime sky. Amidst the countless tragedies that centuries of slavery brought to African Americans lie tales of hope, resistance, courage, sacrifice, and victory—truly an American story.

Download or read book Literary Black Power in the Caribbean written by Rita Keresztesi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Black Power in the Caribbean focuses on the Black Power movement in the anglophone Caribbean as represented and critically debated in literary texts, music and film. This volume is groundbreaking in its focus on the creative arts and artists in their evaluations of, and insights on, the relevance of the Black Power message across the region. The author takes a cultural studies approach to bring together the political with the aesthetic, enriching an already fertile debate on the era and the subject of Black Power in the Caribbean region. The chapters discuss various aspects of Black Power in the Caribbean: on the pages of journals and magazines, at contemporary conferences that radicalized academia to join forces with communities, in fiction and essays by writers and intellectuals, in calypso and reggae music, and in the first films produced in the Caribbean. Produced at the 50th anniversary of the 1970 Black Power Revolution in Port of Spain, Trinidad, this timely book will be of interest to students and academics focusing on Black Power, Caribbean literary and cultural studies, African diaspora, and Global South radical political and cultural theory.

Book excerpt: A radical educator's paradigm-shifting inquiry into the accepted, normal demands of school, as illuminated by moving portraits of four young "problem children" In this dazzling debut, Carla Shalaby, a former elementary school teacher, explores the everyday lives of four young "troublemakers," challenging the ways we identify and understand so-called problem children. Time and again, we make seemingly endless efforts to moderate, punish, and even medicate our children, when we should instead be concerned with transforming the very nature of our institutions, systems, and structures, large and small. Through delicately crafted portraits of these memorable children—Zora, Lucas, Sean, and Marcus—Troublemakers allows us to see school through the eyes of those who know firsthand what it means to be labeled a problem. From Zora's proud individuality to Marcus's open willfulness, from Sean's struggle with authority to Lucas's tenacious imagination, comes profound insight—for educators and parents alike—into how schools engender, exclude, and then try to erase trouble, right along with the young people accused of making it. And although the harsh disciplining of adolescent behavior has been called out as part of a school-to-prison pipeline, the children we meet in these pages demonstrate how a child's path to excessive punishment and exclusion in fact begins at a much younger age. Shalaby's empathetic, discerning, and elegant prose gives us a deeply textured look at what noncompliance signals about the environments we require students to adapt to in our schools. Both urgent and timely, this paradigm-shifting book challenges our typical expectations for young children and with principled affection reveals how these demands—despite good intentions—work to undermine the pursuit of a free and just society.
