Free Download Unraveling: Remaking Personhood in a Neurodiverse Age by Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer, Mike Lenz, Tantor Audio
English | December 17, 2020 | ISBN: B08PMZTPPD | 11 hours and 50 minutes | MP3 | 325 Mb
Developing a cybernetic model of subjectivity and personhood that honors disability experiences to reconceptualize the category of the human.
Twentieth-century neuroscience fixed the brain as the basis of consciousness, the self, identity, individuality, even life itself, obscuring the fundamental relationships between bodies and the worlds that they inhabit. In Unraveling, Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer draws on narratives of family and individual experiences with neurological disorders, paired with texts by neuroscientists and psychiatrists, to decenter the brain and expose the ableist biases in the dominant thinking about personhood.
Unraveling articulates a novel cybernetic theory of subjectivity in which the nervous system is connected to the world it inhabits rather than being walled off inside the body, moving beyond neuroscientific, symbolic, and materialist approaches to the self to focus instead on such concepts as animation, modularity, and facilitation. It does so through close readings of memoirs by individuals who lost their hearing or developed trauma-induced aphasia, as well as family members of people diagnosed as autistic – texts that rethink modes of subjectivity through experiences with communication, caregiving, and the demands of everyday life.

Free Download Remaking the Republic: Black Politics and the Creation of American Citizenship (America in the Nineteenth Century) by Christopher James Bonner
English | March 20, 2020 | ISBN: 0812252063 | 272 pages | PDF | 6.18 Mb
Citizenship in the nineteenth-century United States was an ever-moving target. The Constitution did not specify its exact meaning, leaving lawmakers and other Americans to struggle over the fundamental questions of who could be a citizen, how a person attained the status, and the particular privileges citizenship afforded. Indeed, as late as 1862, U.S. Attorney General Edward Bates observed that citizenship was "now as little understood in its details and elements, and the question as open to argument and speculative criticism as it was at the founding of the Government."

From 2009 to 2015, the euro area of the European Union (EU) experienced an existential socio-economic crisis.

English | January 2, 2015 | ISBN: 0195395476 | 452 pages | MOBI | 4.66 Mb
During the 1970s, American foreign policy faced a predicament of clashing imperatives-US decision makers, already struggling to maintain stability and devise strategic frameworks to guide the exercise of American power during the Cold War, found themselves hampered by the emergence of dilemmas that would come to a head in the post-Cold War era. Their choices proved to be of enormous consequence for the development of American foreign policy in the final decades of the twentieth century and beyond.

Free Download Mitchell Stevens, "Remaking College: The Changing Ecology of Higher Education"
English | ISBN: 0804791678 | 2015 | 336 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Between 1945 and 1990 the United States built the largest and most productive higher education system in world history. Over the last two decades, however, dramatic budget cuts to public academic services and skyrocketing tuition have made college completion more difficult for many. Nevertheless, the democratic promise of education and the global competition for educated workers mean ever growing demand. Remaking College considers this changing context, arguing that a growing accountability revolution, the push for greater efficiency and productivity, and the explosion of online learning are changing the character of higher education. Writing from a range of disciplines and professional backgrounds, the contributors each bring a unique perspective to the fate and future of U.S. higher education. By directing their focus to schools doing the lion’s share of undergraduate instruction-community colleges, comprehensive public universities, and for-profit institutions-they imagine a future unencumbered by dominant notions of "traditional" students, linear models of achievement, and college as a four-year residential experience. The result is a collection rich with new tools for helping people make more informed decisions about college-for themselves, for their children, and for American society as a whole.
