The United States has been shaped by three sweeping political revolutions: Jefferson’s "revolution of 1800," the Civil War, and the New Deal. Each of these upheavals concluded with lasting institutional and cultural adjustments that set the stage for a new phase of political and economic development. Are we on the verge of another upheaval, a "fourth revolution" that will reshape U.S. politics for decades to come? There are signs to suggest that we are.

English | ISBN: 3030881350 | 2021 | 300 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Examining transnational ties between the USA and Australia, this book explores the rise of the Aboriginal Black Power Movement in the 1960s and early 1970s. Aboriginal adaptation of the American Black Power movement paved the way for future forms of radical Aboriginal resistance, including the eventual emergence of the Australian Black Panther Party. Through analysis of archival material, including untouched government records, previously unexamined newspapers and interviews conducted with both Australian and American activists, this book investigates the complex and varied process of developing the Black Power movement in a uniquely Australian context. Providing a social and political account of Australian activism across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, the author illustrates the fragmentation of Aboriginal Black Power, marked by its different leaders, protests and propaganda.

English | ASIN: B0CR1XBG1Y | 2024 | 19 hours and 13 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 532 MB
Author: Neil Shenvi, Pat Sawyer
Narrator: Tom Parks

Where Are Critical Theory and the Social Justice Movement Taking Us? Critical theory and its expression in fields such as critical race theory, critical pedagogy, and queer theory are having a profound impact on our culture. Contemporary critical theory’s ideas about race, class, gender, identity, and justice have dramatically shaped how people think, act, and view one another-in Christian and secular spheres alike. In Critical Dilemma, authors Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer illuminate the origins and influences of contemporary critical theory, considering it in the light of clear reason and biblical orthodoxy. While acknowledging that it can provide some legitimate insights regarding race, class, and gender, Critical Dilemma exposes the false assumptions at the heart of critical theory, arguing that it poses a serious threat to both the church and society at large. Drawing on exhaustive research and careful analysis, Shenvi and Sawyer condemn racism, urge Christians to seek justice, and offer a path forward for racial healing and unity while also opposing critical theory’s manifold errors.

2003 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 1566635004 | PDF | 36 MB
Matthews’s book chronicles the changing fortunes and transformations of the organized suffrage movement, from its dismal period to its final victory that brought women the vote.The twenty years on either side of the turn of the twentiethcentury were a period of fundamental change and expansion inthe roles and opportunities open to American women. The periodculminated in the eventual success of a long drawn-outagitation for the vote, which seemed to bestow both formalrecognition of equal citizenship and offer the opportunity for politicalpower. [n these forty years women had at least gained accessto, and sometimes achieved substantial participation in, alllevels of education, almost all the professions, a much widerrange of jobs, and thus opportunities for some financial independence and a greater level of personal freedom. In the nextfifty years it would become apparent that many doors were stilleffectively shut, and that much of the promise and appearanceof equality was illusory, but to most middle-class women thisearlier period offered a sense of progress and widening horizons.[/center]
