This book is a general introduction to advocacy for change that many sectors of the United States of America want to see. It aims to support such a call by providing essential information based on real facts and events; the truth of which, no one can deny. I have always tried to make this book echo reality in a way that makes people aware of the need to abolish racism, xenophobia, and the air of the ethnic cleansing trend.

Ce livre est une introduction générale au plaidoyer pour le changement que de nombreux secteurs des États-Unis d'Amérique souhaitent voir. Il vise à soutenir un tel appel en fournissant des informations essentielles basées sur des faits et des événements réels dont personne ne peut nier. J'ai toujours essayé de faire en sorte que ce livre fasse écho à la réalité d'une manière qui rend les gens conscients de la nécessité d'abolir le racisme, la xénophobie et l'air de la tendance au nettoyage ethnique.

In Proverb Masters: Shaping the Civil Rights Movement, author Raymond Summerville explores how proverbs and proverbial language played a significant role in the long civil rights era.

This concise but comprehensive book lays out specific answers to myriad topical questions about free speech law, and also general explanations of how and why the law distinguishes between protected and punishable speech.

It highlights the many cases, involving multiple issues, in which robust speech-protective principles aided advocates of racial justice and other human rights causes.

Stephen A. King and Roger Davis Gatchet examine how Mississippi confronts its history of racial violence and injustice through civil rights tourism. Mississippi's civil rights memorials include a vast constellation of sites and experiences—from the humble Fannie Lou Hamer Museum in Ruleville to the expansive Mississippi Civil Rights Museum in Jackson—where the state's collective memories of the movement are enshrined, constructed, and contested.

An industry that started in the 1990s by fact-checking chain emails and Bigfoot sightings has evolved over the past decade into the American political left’s strongest tool in justifying the censorship of their political opposition and shaping the national narrative in their favor.

In this updated edition, The Making of Black Lives Matter presents a condensed and accessible intellectual history of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and expands on the movement's relevancy.

Die USA gelten als die unverzichtbare Nation. Ohne ihre schützende Hand, heißt es oft, würde die Welt im Chaos versinken. Bernd Greiner unterzieht diese These einem Praxistest. Was macht die Ordnungsmacht, wenn sie ordnet? Und wie sehen die Weltgegenden anschließend aus, in denen Washington ordnend eingegriffen hat? Bernd Greiners Buch zeigt, wie sich in den USA der Anspruch ausbildete, als Hüter der internationalen Ordnung aufzutreten. Es zeigt auch, wie die Vorstellung entstand, Stabilität gebe es nur auf der Grundlage amerikanischer Überlegenheit.

Freiheit ist die Grundbedingung gelingender Gesellschaften. Diese Erfolgsformel scheint leichtfertig in Vergessenheit zu geraten. Mit Sorge beobachtet Hans-Jürgen Papier, wie unsere einst hart erkämpften Freiheitsrechte Stück für Stück beschnitten werden. Für den ehemaligen Präsidenten des Bundesverfassungsgerichts gilt: Auch und gerade in Krisenzeiten, bei der notwendigen Sicherstellung von Gesundheit, beim Schutz vor Bedrohungen durch Terrorismus, Klimawandel und wirtschaftliche Krisen darf die Freiheit nicht aufs Spiel gesetzt werden.

Anthony Lewis tells us how these rights were created, revealing a story of hard choices, heroic (and some less heroic) judges, and fascinating and eccentric defendants who forced the legal system to come face-to-face with one of America's great founding ideas.

Religious freedom is a bitterly contested issue that spills over into political, public, and online spheres. It's an issue that's becoming ever more heated, and neither of the global political polarities is interested in protecting it. While the political left is openly hostile toward traditional religion, the political right seeks to weaponize it. How can we ensure that "religious freedom" is truly about freedom of one's religion rather than serving an ethno-nationalist agenda?

The Plea of Innocence offers a fundamental reform of the adversarial system: plausibly innocent people may now plead innocent and require the government to search for exonerating facts; in return, they will be required to waive their right to remain silent, speak to government agents, and participate in a search for truth. While almost all the participants within the system hope that only guilty people will be convicted, the unfortunate reality is that innocent people are convicted and imprisoned at an alarming rate.

More than one hundred years ago, the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma, perpetrated a massacre against its Black residents. For generations, the true story was ignored, covered up, and diminished by those in power and in a position to preserve the status quo.

On June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that state bans on gay marriage were unconstitutional, making same-sex unions legal across the United States.
