The basis for the film The Post, The Pentagon Papers are a series of articles, documents, and studies examining the Johnson Administration's lies to the public about the extent of US involvement in the Vietnam War, bringing to light shocking conclusions about America's true role in the conflict. With a brand-new foreword by James L. Greenfield, this edition of the Pulitzer Prize-winning story is sure to provoke discussion about free press and government deception.

O indivíduo, a sociedade e o Estado é uma antologia de textos de Emma Goldman. Defesa intransigente da liberdade do indivíduo e crítica ferrenha à submissão ao poder estatal, o artigo que dá título ao conjunto já antecipava muitas das questões fundamentais do século XX, como a militarização estratégica dos EUA. A presente edição conta ainda com o posfácio do livro "My disillusionment in Russia" (1923), e "O comunismo não existe na Rússia", artigo publicado em 1935, no qual a autora critica o autoritarismo e a centralização de poder dos sovietes.

Ripercorrendo tra memoria privata e pubblica i momenti chiave degli ultimi settant'anni di storia sociale italiana, dal Concordato del '29, alla stagione dei diritti degli anni Settanta, al tema spinoso del fine vita con i casi Welby ed Englaro, Margherita Hack ci lascia questo suo ultimo pamphlet sulle libertà individuali, su cosa significhi essere laico e sulle eredità spesso taciute che ancora pesano sulle istituzioni e impediscono un dibattito veramente libero sui temi che ci toccano in prima persona.

"La sicurezza cibernetica è un problema di sicurezza nazionale, se dovesse scoppiare una guerra la minaccia non arriverebbe dai carri armati ma dagli attacchi ai sistemi digitali, dalle torri di controllo agli acquedotti." (Antonello Soro, la Repubblica). Il rapporto tra tecnica e democrazia, pur certamente non nuovo, è divenuto centrale nell'era digitale. L'impatto delle nuove tecnologie sulla vita individuale e collettiva è tale da dover essere affrontato con il massimo grado di consapevolezza.

Stokely Carmichael, the charismatic and controversial Black activist, stepped onto the pages of history when he called for "Black Power" during a speech one humid Mississippi night in 1966. Carmichael’s life changed that day, and so did America’s struggle for civil rights. "Black Power" became the slogan of an era, provoking a national reckoning on race and democracy. In Stokely, preeminent civil rights scholar Peniel E. Joseph presents a groundbreaking biography of Carmichael.

Agora tudo é Comunismo? explica essas e outras questões que circundam o tema. Afinal, encarar o assunto de forma objetiva e entender o que ele realmente representa significa acessar uma perspectiva crítica em relação ao modelo econômico capitalista sob o qual vivemos, o que pode nos ajudar a responder a outra pergunta: o capitalismo deu certo?

Award-winning authors Julian E. Zelizer and Karen J.

In This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed, civil rights scholar Charles E. Cobb Jr., describes the vital role that armed self-defense played in the survival and liberation of black communities in America during the Southern Freedom Movement of the 1960s.

W.E.B. Du Bois, who drew from his own experiences as an African-American living in American society, explores the concept of "double-consciousness"—a term he uses to describe living as an African-American and having a "sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others." With Du Bois' examination of Black life in post-Civil War America, his explanation of the meaning of emancipation and its effect, and his views on the roles of the black leaders of his time, The Souls of Black Folk is one of the important early works in the field of sociology.

Americans are understandably squeamish about official racial and ethnic classifications. Nevertheless, applying for a job, mortgage, university, citizenship, government contracts, and more involves checking a box stating whether one is Black, White, Asian, Hispanic, or Native American. In an increasingly diverse society with high rates of intergroup marriage, the American system of racial classification is getting even more absurd. Classified argues that the time has come to consider abolishing official racial classification and replace it with the separation of race and state.

Too often, we are told that Russia plays a weak hand well. But, perhaps the nation's cards are better than we know. Russia ranks behind the US and China by traditional measures of power: GDP, population size and health, and military might. Yet twenty-five years removed from its mid-1990s nadir following the collapse of the USSR, Russia has become a supremely disruptive force in world politics. Kathryn E. Stoner assesses the resurrection of Russia and argues that we should look beyond traditional means of power to assess its strength in global affairs.

Millicent E. Brown's family home at 270 Ashley Avenue in Charleston, South Carolina, was a center of civil rights activity. There Brown gained intimate knowledge of the struggle for racial justice, and those experiences set her on a life course dedicated to the civil rights struggle. Best known as the named plaintiff in the federal court case that, in 1963, forced the initial desegregation of public schools in South Carolina, her experiences as an activist range across years and well beyond her native state. Another Sojourner Looking for Truth is Brown's insightful reflection.

Efforts to reduce gun violence in the United States face formidable political and constitutional barriers. Legislation that would ban or broadly restrict firearms runs afoul of the Supreme Court's current interpretation of the Second Amendment. And gun rights advocates have joined a politically savvy firearm industry in a powerful coalition that stymies reform. Ian Ayres and Fredrick Vars suggest a new way forward. We can decrease the number of gun deaths, they argue, by empowering individual citizens to choose common-sense gun reforms for themselves.

“Stunning revelations…This is an account that long will be consulted by anyone trying to understand not just Iran but warfare in the 21st century…an important book.” –Tom Ricks, New York Times FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE INHERITANCE, A REVEALING AND NEWS-BREAKING ACCOUNT OF...

A história real de um filho do Hamas que se tornou espião israelense, se converteu ao cristianismo e ajudou a combater uma das maiores organizações terroristas do mundo.

Originally meant to be brief and exceptional, solitary confinement in US prisons has become long-term and common. Prisoners spend 23 hours a day in featureless cells, with no visitors or human contact for years on end, and they are held entirely at administrators' discretion. Keramet Reiter tells the history of one "supermax", California's Pelican Bay State Prison, whose extreme conditions recently sparked a statewide hunger strike by 30,000 prisoners.

In the early 20th century over 200 of New York's most glamorous socialites joined the suffrage movement. Their names - Astor, Belmont, Rockefeller, Tiffany, Vanderbilt, Whitney, and the like - carried enormous public value. These women were the media darlings of their day because of the extravagance of their costume balls and the opulence of the French couture clothes, and they leveraged their social celebrity for political power, turning women's right to vote into a fashionable cause.
