Showing results for "The Invisible" in Political Science

President Joe Biden has repeatedly said that the United States would close the digital divide under his leadership. However, the divide still affects people and communities across the country. The complex and persistent reality is that millions of residents live in digital deserts, and many more face disproportionate difficulties when it comes to getting and staying online, especially people of color, seniors, rural residents, and farmers in remote areas. Economic and health disparities are worsening in rural communities without available internet access.

El neoliberalismo es la ideología dominante de nuestro tiempo. Nos moldea de innumerables maneras pero a la mayoría de nosotros nos cuesta articular lo que es. Peor aún, nos han persuadido a aceptar este credo extremo como una especie de ley natural. En ‘La doctrina invisible’, el periodista George Monbiot y el cineasta Peter Hutchison destruyen este mito. Muestran cómo una filosofía marginal de la década de 1930 –la defensa de la competencia como rasgo definitorio de la humanidad– fue secuestrada sistemáticamente por un grupo de elites ricas decididas a proteger sus fortunas y su poder.

What is a country? While certain basic tenets - such as the clear demarcation of a country's borders, and the acknowledgment of its sovereignty by other countries and by international governing bodies like the United Nations - seem applicable, journalist Joshua Keating's book explores exceptions to these rules. Through stories about these countries' efforts at self-determination, as well as their respective challenges, Keating reveals that there is no universal legal authority determining what we consider a country.

In January of 1973 Richard Nixon announced the end of the Vietnam War and prepared for a triumphant second term - until televised Watergate hearings revealed his White House as little better than a mafia den. The next president declared upon Nixon’s resignation “our long national nightmare is over” - but then congressional investigators exposed the CIA for assassinating foreign leaders. The collapse of the South Vietnamese government rendered moot the sacrifice of some 58,000 American lives.

The Invisible Vote explores generational voting habits by capturing the perspectives of a multitude of people as they are put into conversation with one another about their voting habits, beliefs, and trust in electoral politics.

In the aftermath of Rodney King's assault by police officers in the 90s and his attackers' subsequent acquittal, Ian Rowe and Nique Fajors grew weary of a public narrative proclaiming that black men in America were doomed to failure under an oppressive system. A feeling of invisibleness struck both Ian and Nique as the stories of men like them became increasingly ignored in the public eye. So they launched “The Invisible Men,” a documentary telling the stories of amazing black men at Harvard University who had overcome structural barriers and achieved success. Today, Ian and Nique have ...
