At the heart of these conversations are concerns about whether Black people, in particular, will receive the full benefit of transformative laws that may emerge in the coming years. The volume also offers recommendations on implementing policies that address the unique concerns of structurally disadvantaged communities with particular emphasis on Black and Latinx people.

This book puts middle Australia under the microscope, examining how quality of life is faring in the face of change and uncertainty. 400 Australians from around the country shared their experiences of work, family, and community for this book, creating a striking picture of Australian society into a new millennium. This lived experience is set against hard data so that we can truly understand the impact - good and bad - of economic restructuring on the broad Australian middle class. Meticulously researched, it mounts a moral and intellectual counter-argument to economic reform. A sequel to the best-selling Economic Rationalism in Canberra, Michael Pusey's book will be equally important.
Across Europe, radical right-wing parties are winning increasing electoral support. The Dark Side of European Integration argues that this rising nationalism and the mobilization of the radical right are the consequences of European economic integration. The European economic project has produced a cultural backlash in the form of nationalist radical right ideologies. This assessment relies on a detailed analysis of the electoral rise of radical right parties in Western and Eastern Europe. Contrary to popular belief, economic performance and immigration rates are not the only factors that determine the far right's success. There are other political and social factors that explain why in post-socialist Eastern European countries such parties had historically been weaker than their potential, which they have now started to fulfill increasingly. Using in-depth interviews with radical right activists in Ukraine, Alina Polyakova also explores how radical right mobilization works on the ground through social networks, allowing new insights into how social movements and political parties interact.

Despite the American left's admiration of the Swedish welfare no one has told its true story yet. Until now. Sven R Larson reveals the dark side of the welfare state: how government-run health care turns patients into budget items and corpses, how government defaults on promise after promise, crime is rampant, 500 schools are burned to the ground every year and children grow up with no loyalty to their country. Larson explains how politicians turn to fiscal fascism to save the welfare state from the people who depend on it.
A dead man hangs from the portal of St Paul Chapel in Damascus. He was a Muslim officer and he was murdered. But when Detective Barudi sets out to interrogate the man’s mysterious widow, the Secret Service takes the case away from him. Barudi continues to investigate clandestinely and discovers the murderer’s motive: it is a blood feud between the Mushtak and Shahin clans, reaching back to the beginnings of the 20th century. And, linked to it, a love story that can have no happy ending, for reconciliation has no place within the old tribal structures. Rafik Schami dazzling novel spans a century of Syrian history in which politics and religions continue to torment an entire people.

A searing exposé and report card on the condition of our American court system a half century after a national corporate take-over by judges. This wide-ranging sociological, religious, and legal study by an experienced law writer looks at the history and politics behind the new and secret American court agenda where judges function under hidden power to declare what is ultimate law. A dangerous development using usurped power from the other branches of government, this seismic change in national institutional character has a profound impact on the delivery of justice by insider professionals. How courts launder internal abuse and corruption, using systemic discrimination (especially against pro se and poor-er classes,) is an eye-opening, shocking encounter about the soft underbelly of our modern American legal system. As former lawyers and founder of the Ex-Wives of Judges Club, the author explains the hidden nuances and cronyism so rampant in almost every American court. She explains (using true case details with legal citations,) hundreds of common crony bench tricks used to avoid the Rule of Law to provide either favorable or punitive case outcomes. This book is a long overdue analytical commentary and look at the hidden motivators for judges to misuse authority, abandon ethics, and influence outcomes. Taught as the textbook for an online class, it is also a call for reform, and a scholarly argument about the challenge of personal ethics and the higher role of God and traditional morality in courts. The author writes, "it is not my goal to write for the ruling class, but for the 99.997% of the 322,267,564 Americans who are NOT judges or lawyers. Entertaining, factual, sobering, it is a comprehensive reliable course in Dark Law 101.
