It wasn’t surprising when the first abandoned bicycles were found along the dirt roads and farmland just across the border from Tijuana, but before long they were arriving in droves. The bikes went from curiosity, to nuisance, to phenomenon. But until they caught the eye of journalist Kimball Taylor, only a small cadre of human smugglers - coyotes - and migrants could say how or why they’d gotten there. This is the story of 7,000 bikes that made an incredible journey and one young man from Oaxaca who arrived at the border with nothing, built a small empire, and then vanished.

Story0
"Min uimodståelige mand" er en vittig og personlig beretning om manglen på ligestilling i en tid, hvor #MeToo-bølgen forandrer, hvad politikere ikke har magtet, og kvindebevægelser altid har drømt om. Dokumentarist, forfatter og feminist Mette Korsgaard opsøger forskere og eksperter for at finde en forklaring på, hvorfor Danmark halter bagud på ligestillingsbarometeret, hvorfor vi ikke orker at tale om det, og hvorfor vi alle i bund og grund er mandschauvinister. Vidste du for eksempel, at mødre til små drenge med stor nøjagtighed kan vurdere, hvor stejlt deres børn kan kravle, mens mødre til piger ofte undervurderer pigernes evner?

Ever since the 2016 election, pundits have been saying our country has never been more divided - that if progressives want to reclaim power, we need to be "pragmatic", reach across the aisle, and look past identity politics. But what if we're getting the story all wrong? In The Marginalized Majority, Onnesha Roychoudhuri makes the galvanizing case that our voices are already the majority - and that our plurality of identities is not only our greatest strength, but is also at the indisputable core of successful progressive change throughout history.

Drawing on more than a decade of research and hundreds of interviews, Robert Wuthnow brings us into America's small towns, farms, and rural communities to paint a rich portrait of the moral order -the interactions, loyalties, obligations, and identities - underpinning this critical segment of the nation. Wuthnow demonstrates that to truly understand rural Americans' anger, their culture must be explored more fully. Moving beyond simplistic depictions of the residents of America's heartland, The Left Behind offers a clearer picture of how this important population will influence the nation's political future.
