- Jentleson, Adam, author.

- Description

- Summary
-
"An insider's account of how politicians representing a radical minority of Americans are using "the greatest deliberative body in the world" to hijack our democracy. Every major decision governing our diverse, majority-female, and increasingly liberal country bears the stamp of the US Senate, yet the Senate allows an almost exclusively white, predominantly male, and radically conservative minority of the American electorate to impose its will on the rest of us. How did we get to this point? In Kill Switch, Adam Jentleson argues that shifting demographics alone cannot explain how Mitch McConnell harnessed the Senate and turned it into a powerful weapon of minority rule. As Jentleson shows, since the 1950s, a free-flowing body of relative equals has devolved into a rigidly hierarchical, polarized institution, with both Democrats and Republicans to blame. The current GOP has merely used the methods pioneered by its predecessors, though to newly extreme ends. In a work for readers of How Democracies Die and even Master of the Senate, Jentleson makes clear that, without a reevaluation of Senate practices-starting with ending the filibuster-we face the prospect of permanent minority rule in America"-- Provided by publisher.

The youngest of nine, Edward M. Kennedy lacked his brothers' natural gifts and easy grace. Yet after winning election to the Senate at age thirty, he became the most consequential legislator of his lifetime. He swept into the Senate at the high-water mark of the mid-century New Deal consensus and fulfilled the promise of that momentum throughout his glory years in the Senate as the booming voice of American liberalism. That voice found its greatest impact in the laws he passed that wove government firmly into American life, extending aid and opportunity to those in most desperate need. In his life Kennedy lived was known to fail, to sin, to fall in and out of favor. Gabler provides a powerful exploration of the man who spent his career upholding his mandate in service of a better America. -- adapted from publisher info

- Stevens, Stuart, author.
- First edition. - New York : Alfred A. Knopf, 2020.
- Description
- Book — 237 pages ; 22 cm
- Summary
-
- Prologue: It was all a lie
- Race, the original Republican sin
- Family values
- The long con
- Confederacy of dunces
- Machinery of deception
- What are they afraid of?
- The anti-American patriots
- The empire's last stand
- How do lies end?
Stevens spent decades electing Republicans at every level, from presidents to senators to local officials. Here he offers a devastating portrait of a party that has lost its moral and political compass. Stevens shows how Trump is the natural outcome of five decades of hypocrisy and self-delusion, dating all the way back to the civil rights legislation of the early 1960s. Racism has always lurked in the modern GOP's DNA, as has the rank hypocrisy of the party's claims to embody "family values" and fiscal responsibility. Stephen helped to create the modern party that kneels before a morally bankrupt con man-- and now he wants nothing more than to see it held accountable. -- adapted from jacket

Najnowsza książka Krzysztofa Daukszewicza - znanego i cenionego satyryka, który od wielu lat obserwuje naszą rzeczywistość - to satyryczny rozrachunek z polską sceną polityczną ostatnich miesięcy, gdzie niepodzielnie obok pandemii rządzi pewien mieszkaniec Żoliborza. Ale tak naprawdę tę książkę napisali wszyscy, którzy wraz z obecnym rządem wstali z kolan. I Pan, i Pani, i chamska hołota, i nasi wybrańcy z ulicy Wiejskiej. Tym razem jednak do współpracy Krzysztof Daukszewicz zaprosił swojego syna, by był "młody gniewny" i "stary wkurwiony"

- Felak, James Ramon, 1957- author.
- Pittsburgh, Pa : University of Pittsburgh Press, [2020]
- Description
- Book — 336 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm
- Summary
-
John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in over 500 years, and the first Slavic pontiff in history. Shortly after his election to the papacy in 1978, he launched a series of visits to his native Poland, then in the midst of dramatic social changes that heralded the end of Communism. In this groundbreaking book, James Ramon Felak carefully examines the Pope's first four visits to his homeland in June of 1979, 1983, 1987, and 1991 in the late Communist and immediate post-Communist period. Careful analysis of speeches, press coverage, and documents from the Communist Party, government, and police show how the Pope and the Communist authorities engaged one another. Felak gives equal attention to John Paul's political and religious messages, highlighting how he astutely maneuvered between the rising hopes of the Polish people and the dangerous fears of a dying regime. The Pope in Poland recreates and explicates these dramatic visits that played a major role in the collapse of Communism in Poland as well as laid out a papal vision for Poland's post-Communist future.

- Description

- Summary
-
In this landmark global history Kristina Spohr explores how world leaders responded to the 1989 revolutions--from Berlin to Beijing. In post-Wall Europe they reinvented Western Cold War institutions, while post-Square China reinvented communism as state capitalism--a duality in the world order that still endures.

"This book documents Reagan's childhood, political career, and presidency, arguing that Reagan compiled the worst civil rights record of any President since the 1920s; it explores his blithe indifference to the legacy of slavery, assaults on Affirmative Action and Voting Rights, a war on Drugs that ensnared the poor and people of color leading to the carceral state, and his hostility to the Black freedom struggle"-- Provided by publisher
