Democracy, Social Justice, and the American Community College: A Student-Centered Perspective
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3030755592 | 323 Pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book provides scholars, educators, and legislators with a personal, classroom-level tour of daily life at a community college. Readers will accompany the author into the classroom as he goes about his work as an English teacher meeting with classes and corresponding with students on Blackboard and e-mail. Answering the call for "student-centered scholarship," this book blends traditional academic writing with chapters that feature a rich variety of student work, including essays, journal entries, poems, art, and responses to creative assignments. In this volume, Sullivan theorizes the modern community college as a social justice institution. By mission and mandate, the modern community college has democratized America's system of higher education and distributed hope, equity, and opportunity more broadly across the nation.

Benjamin Schreier, "The Rise and Fall of Jewish American Literature: Ethnic Studies and the Challenge of Identity "
English | ISBN: 0812252578 | 2020 | 224 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Benjamin Schreier argues that Jewish American literature's dominant cliché of "breakthrough"-that is, the irruption into the heart of the American cultural scene during the 1950s of Jewish American writers like Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, and Grace Paley-must also be seen as the critically originary moment of Jewish American literary study. According to Schreier, this is the primal scene of the Jewish American literary field, the point that the field cannot avoid repeating and replaying in instantiating itself as the more or less formalized academic study of Jewish American literature. More than sixty years later, the field's legibility, the very condition of its possibility, remains overwhelmingly grounded in a reliance on this single ethnological narrative.

Race, Nation, and Empire in American History edited by James T. Campbell, Matthew Pratt Guterl, Robert G. Lee
English | September 24, 2007 | ISBN: 0807831271, 0807858285 | EPUB | 392 pages | 1.9 MB
While public debates over America's current foreign policy often treat American empire as a new phenomenon, this lively collection of essays offers a pointed reminder that visions of national and imperial greatness were a cornerstone of the new country when it was founded. In fact, notions of empire have long framed debates over western expansion, Indian removal, African slavery, Asian immigration, and global economic dominance, and they persist today despite the proliferation of anti-imperialist rhetoric.

Money, Power, and the People: The American Struggle to Make Banking Democratic by Christopher W. Shaw
English | September 5, 2019 | ISBN: 022663633X | EPUB | 400 pages | 1.4 MB
Banks and bankers are hardly the most beloved institutions and people in this country. With its corruptive influence on politics and stranglehold on the American economy, Wall Street is held in high regard by few outside the financial sector. But the pitchforks raised against this behemoth are largely rhetorical: we rarely see riots in the streets or public demands for an equitable and democratic banking system that result in serious national changes.

Formalism and Pragmatism in American Law By Thomas C. Grey
2014 | 262 Pages | ISBN: 9004272887 | PDF | 2 MB
In Formalism and Pragmatism in American Law Thomas Grey gives a full account of each of these modes of legal thought, with particular attention to the versions of them promulgated by their influential exponents Christopher Columbus Langdell and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. Grey argues that legal pragmatism as understood by Holmes is the best jurisprudential framework for a modern legal system. He enriches his theoretical account with treatments of central issues in three important areas of law in the United States: constitutional interpretation, property, and torts.
