Barack Obama famously said that the purpose of social movements is to get a seat at the table. However, as Deva Woodly argues in Reckoning—a sweeping account of the meaning and purpose of the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL)—the value of such movements is something much more profound: they are necessary for the health and survival of democracy. Drawing from on-the-ground interviews with activists in the movement, Woodly analyzes the emergence of the M4BL, its organizational structure and culture, and its strategies and tactics.

¿Qué emoción te despertaban los tuits de Donald Trump durante su presidencia? ¿Cómo te sentiste cuando se estaban celebrando todos los debates del Brexit? Puede que conozcas a mucha gente que rechaza el discurso de Abascal, ¿pero qué hay de cierto en ello? ¿Cuál es la verdad sobre los sentimientos que generan todo tipo de discursos? En una sociedad en la que gustar va por encima de disfrutar y en la que las apariencias se sobreponen a la realidad, las emociones son fundamentales en la política.

En México—y de hecho en todo el continente americano—la desigualdad ha permitido a unos pocos miles de hombres (rara vez son mujeres) dominar las decisiones políticas y económicas. Las élites han modelado la historia para asegurarse el poder, el dinero y, con frecuencia, la impunidad. Hay momentos históricos en los que cambian las élites. La desigualdad permanece. ¿Cómo se conforman las clases dominantes y qué principios las rigen? ¿Cuándo se les imponen límites y cómo se relacionan con el resto de la sociedad?

Drawing comparisons to empires past, Johnson explores in vivid detail the likely consequences of US dependence on a permanent war economy, and what it will mean when the globe's sole "hyperpower" is no longer capable of paying for the vaulting ambitions of its leaders - and becomes the greatest hyper-debtor of all time.

Increasingly, political parties have adopted not only different policies, but different sets of facts. As E. J. Fagan argues, partisan think tanks have helped create these alternate realities in their capacity as de facto formal party organizations.

The success of the battle for the future of American Democracy-the struggle for progressive values-the battle between democracy and autocracy-between hope and fear-will not be determined entirely by the merits of our values or even the strength of our conviction. It will be determined by how well American progressives organize to promote those values. It will be determined especially by how well we execute the nuts and bolts of election campaigns.

Nicholas Goedert tackles the controversies, litigation, and effects surrounding partisan gerrymandering of Congress. He contends that the appropriate actors to address the fairness of a map are nonpartisan commissions within each state, not the US courts.
