Every liberal democracy has laws or codes against hate speech - except the United States. For constitutionalists, regulation of hate speech violates the First Amendment and damages a free society. Against this absolutist view, Jeremy Waldron argues powerfully that hate speech should be regulated as part of our commitment to human dignity and to inclusion and respect for members of vulnerable minorities.

Na nota introdutória deste volume, James Baldwin, aos 31 anos, se dá conta do momento mais importante de sua formação, quando se viu obrigado a perceber que a linha do seu passado não levava à Europa, e sim à África. Foi então que ele se deparou com uma revelação chocante: Shakespeare, Bach e Rembrandt não eram criações "realmente minhas, não abrigavam minha história; seria inútil procurar nelas algum reflexo de mim. Eu era um intruso; aquele legado não era meu".

When we talk about racism, we often mean personal prejudice or institutional biases. Climate change doesn’t work that way. It is structurally racist, disproportionately caused by majority white people in majority white countries, with the damage unleashed overwhelmingly on people of colour. The climate crisis reflects and reinforces racial injustices. Author and environmental activist Jeremy Williams takes us on a short, urgent journey across the globe - from Kenya to India, the USA to Australia - to understand how white privilege and climate change overlap.

The story of Jackie Robinson valiantly breaking baseball’s color barrier in 1947 is one that most Americans know. But less recognized is the fact that some seventy years earlier, following the Civil War, baseball was tenuously biracial and had the potential for a truly open game. How, then, did the game become so firmly segregated that it required a trailblazer like Robinson? The answer, Ryan A. Swanson suggests, has everything to do with the politics of “reconciliation” and a wish to avoid the issues of race that an integrated game necessarily raised.

In 1921, Tulsa’s Greenwood District - known then as the nation’s “Black Wall Street” - was one of the most prosperous African American communities in the United States. But on May 31 of that year, a white mob, inflamed by rumors that a young black man had attempted to rape a white teenage girl, invaded Greenwood. By the end of the following day, thousands of homes and businesses lay in ashes, and perhaps, as many as 300 people were dead.

The Unteachables examines the overrepresentation of Black students in special education over the course of the twentieth century. As African American children integrated predominantly white schools, many were disproportionately labeled educable mentally retarded (EMR), learning disabled (LD), and emotionally behavioral disordered (EBD). Keith A. Mayes charts the evolution of disability categories and how these labels kept Black learners segregated in American classrooms.

A ralé brasileira: quem é e como vive, clássico do pensamento social brasileiro, confere visibilidade à “ralé brasileira”, uma “classe social” jamais percebida enquanto “classe” entre nós, ou seja, nunca percebida como possuindo uma gênese social e um destino comum, e vista apenas como “conjuntos de indivíduos” carentes ou perigosos. Com base em uma profunda e consistente pesquisa empírica, este audiolivro procura recontar, na dimensão da vida cotidiana, o drama existencial e familiar dos tipos sociais mais encontrados na ralé brasileira.
