A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo

《Civil Society》是一部探討公民自發行動與公共生活的經典著作，也是理解「公民社會」不可或缺的重要文本。面對近年來席捲全球的抗議運動與社會動盪，本書提醒我們：真正能長期塑造社會的力量，往往並不只存在於街頭或新聞焦點中，而是深植於人們日常參與的志願組織、社群與公民網絡之中。Civil Society has become a standard work of reference for anyone seeking to understand the role of voluntary citizen action in shaping society.Recent waves of global unrest have highlighted the visibility and impact of social movements and street protests in world politics. Yet, as this lucid and accessible book demonstrates, the real power of citizens more often flows through everyday participation in voluntary associations, community groups, and civic networks—forms of “normal” civic life that rarely make headlines. This is the deeper, underlying story of civil society.In this updated edition, Michael Edwards examines key developments that have rapidly transformed the civic landscape in recent years. These include the growing intersections between civil society and the market, such as social enterprises and “venture philanthropy,” as well as the

How the legacy of the Civil War--as presented by writers, poets, and artists of the time--has shaped American visions of democracy In Haunted by the Civil War, Shirley Samuels explores the work of Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, Frederick Douglass, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and others to investigate the long cultural shadow of America's cataclysmic sundering. Juxtaposing these texts with images--ranging from paintings by Winslow Homer to newspaper and magazine illustrations of political controversies--Samuels argues that the Civil War still haunts our attitudes toward democracy. The recent toppling of Confederate monuments, the continuing protests over racial and sexual discrimination, immigration, and Indigenous land rights: each of these forms part of the war's legacy. Examining the fraught deliberations about an ideal American democracy in the early republic, Samuels turns to the language of sensation in the poetry of Melville, Dickinson, and Whitman alongside Lincol

The inaugural collection of cartoons that introduced Tom Gauld's literary wit to the world now in paperback! "Precise and wryly hilarious...Gauld's both a literature nerd and a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as Kate Beaton."--NPR Drawn from Tom Gauld's popular comics feature in The Guardian, You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack perfectly distills Gauld's dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Classic strips like "The Bront?Sisters: The Videogame" and "The Serious Rock Critic" (who's written 32 books about Led Zeppelin) intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about politics and human behavior (see: "The Greedy Dog Stands on the Chair of Hope to Feast on the Sausage of Hubris") and whimsical imaginings of the future (see: "The 'Great Automaton Strike' of 2029 Saw the Birth of the Robot Protest Song"). Again and again, Gauld reaffirms his position as a first-rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of

From Gandhi to Rosa Parks, the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, this introduction to the power of protests covers nearly every continent to show young readers that they can be effective on their own or as part of a movement. Filled with colorful, detailed illustrations and straightforward, engaging texts, this book uses double-page spreads to tell the story of world-changing moments when justice prevailed over intolerance, and peace overcame conflict. Neither preachy nor pedantic, the text offers clear-eyed information in a way that kids can relate to, helping them understand issues that they are probably already aware of, such as climate change, and introducing them to events which happened decades ago or worlds away.Throughout this optimistic and hopeful book, the message is clear-peaceful protest can effect change, and everyone's voice matters.

"I'm BORED!" wails a little girl after her screen time is cut short. "That's great!" her dad says with a grin. "Being bored comes right before having a Really Good Idea." After an initial protest, the little girl dives into her imagination, and takes the reader with her on a whirlwind ride of pure fun. A cardboard box becomes a magical train, the washing machine inspires an imaginary trip into space, a scribbly doodle becomes a hungry spaghetti monster, and ants in the garden lead her into an escapade in the Funny Bug Circus. In a world where children can find entertainment at the touch of a button, it's ever-more important that they have time to be bored - because that's where they have the space to come up with their own Really Good Ideas.

An unprecedented analysis of the crucial but underexplored roles the United States and other nations have played in shaping Syria’s ongoing civil war“One of the best informed and non-partisan accounts of the Syrian tragedy yet published.”—Patrick Cockburn, Independent Syria’s brutal, long-lasting civil war is widely viewed as a domestic contest that began in 2011 and only later drew foreign nations into the fray.

Phillips untangles the international influences on the tragic conflict and illuminates the West’s strategy against ISIS, the decline of U.S. power in the region, and much more.

After the Chinese Civil War, the Kuomintang imposed authoritarian rule on Taiwan in the name of anticommunism. The White Terror, as martial law and state repression were known, would last for decades, casting a pall of uncertainty and fear over Taiwanese society--and its legacies still haunt Taiwan today. Kaori Lai's Portraits in White explores everyday life under the White Terror, illuminating how the violence of martial law pervades even the most mundane moments.

Ms. Wen-hui, an old woman who had served as a housekeeper for elites of different backgrounds since the Japanese occupation, faces death alone in the digital age. Ms. Casey, discriminated against for not being of mainlander descent, moves to Europe and must navigate the politics of diaspora. Even if only alluded to obliq
