1963, a year suffused with unrest and nationwide demands for change, was a turbulent period in our nation’s history. It was a time of freedom rides, sit-ins, demonstrations, and protests, all leading to the momentous August 28th March on Washington, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, and, ultimately, passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, which delivered a historic, legislative blow to discrimination and inequality.

Against Political Compromise Sustaining Democratic Debate


Free Download Amanda Machin, "Against Political Compromise: Sustaining Democratic Debate"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 0367901315, 1472483952 | EPUB | pages: 70 | 0.1 mb
Political compromise is emerging as a preferred solution for numerous apparently intractable problems. Many have pointed to the rising degree of political polarisation around issues such as climate change, immigration and abortion. These are ‘wicked problems’ that are clearly not conducive to any sort of political consensus. The groups and individuals who are party to these issues disagree, often both fully and fiercely. As an alternative, political compromise seemingly offers a way of respecting difference while simultaneously generating a decision upon which policy can move forward. But proponents of political compromise should also acknowledge its significant weaknesses and dangers. Invoking recent examples from various policy areas to illustrate their claims, the authors assert that compromise can disguise inequality, reduce plurality and heighten uncertainty. In short, compromise can weaken democracy and must not be seen as some sort of political panacea.

Between the era of America’s landmark antebellum compromises and that of the Compromise of 1877, a war had intervened, destroying the integrity of the Southern system but failing to determine the New South’s relation to the Union. While it did not restore the old order in the South, or restore the South to parity with the Union, it did lay down the political foundations for reunion, bring Reconstruction to an end, and shape the future of four million freedmen.

Gray Zones Ambiguity and Compromise in the Holocaust and its Aftermath (War and Genocide, 8)


Free Download John Roth, "Gray Zones: Ambiguity and Compromise in the Holocaust and its Aftermath (War and Genocide, 8)"
English | 2005 | pages: 440 | ISBN: 184545071X, 1845453026 | PDF | 1,6 mb
Few essays about the Holocaust are better known or more important than Primo Levi’s reflections on what he called "the gray zone," a reality in which moral ambiguity and compromise were pronounced. In this volume accomplished Holocaust scholars, among them Raul Hilberg, Gerhard L. Weinberg, Christopher Browning, Peter Hayes, and Lynn Rapaport, explore the terrain that Levi identified. Together they bring a necessary interdisciplinary focus to bear on timely and often controversial topics in cutting-edge Holocaust studies that range from historical analysis to popular culture. While each essay utilizes a particular methodology and argues for its own thesis, the volume as a whole advances the claim that the more we learn about the Holocaust, the more complex that event turns out to be. Only if ambiguities and compromises in the Holocaust and its aftermath are identified, explored, and at times allowed to remain-lest resolution deceive us-will our awareness of the Holocaust and its implications be as full as possible.
