The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame
by Peter DreierA hundred years ago, any soapbox orator who called for women's suffrage, laws protecting the environment, an end to lynching, or a federal minimum wage was considered a utopian dreamer or a dangerous socialist. Now we take these ideas for granted- because the radical ideas of one generation are often the common sense of the next. We all stand on the shoulders of earlier generations of radicals and reformers who challenged the status quo of their day. Unfortunately, most Americans know little of this progressive history. It isn't taught in most high schools. You can't find it on the major television networks. In popular media, the most persistent interpreter of America's radical past is Glenn Beck, who teaches viewers a wildly inaccurate history of unions, civil rights, and the American Left.The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century, a colorful and witty history of the most influential progressive leaders of the twentieth century and beyond, is the perfect antidote.

10 Minuten Soziologie: Materialität (10 Minuten Soziologie #1)
by Anna HenkelMaterialität gewinnt in der Soziologie seit den 1980er Jahren neue Aufmerksamkeit - thematisch wie theoretisch. Dinge, Artefakte, Stoffe und Texturen werden auf ihr Verwobensein mit dem Sozialen hin untersucht. Bestehende soziologische Theorien entwickeln Möglichkeiten der konzeptionellen Integration von Materialität; zugleich entstehen neuartige, mehr oder weniger sich als soziologisch verstehende Theorieansätze von der Praxistheorie bis hin zur Actor-Network Theory und dem Critical Realism. Der Band leistet eine Einführung in soziologisches Denken von Materialität. Die einzelnen Beiträge thematisieren unterschiedliche empirische Themen - vom Naturjoghurt bis zum Weltraum, von der Plastiktüte bis zum wissenschaftlichen Vortrag - und sie beziehen sich dabei auf ebenso unterschiedliche soziologische Theorie-Perspektiven.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Fakten (10 Minuten Soziologie #2)
by Gianna Behrendt Anna HenkelAusgerechnet als alternative facts gerieten »Fakten« in eine breitere Diskussion. Doch statt Fakten als alternativ - oder alternativlos - zu postulieren, lohnt sich der soziologische Blick: Wie kommen Fakten überhaupt zustande, welche soziale und politische Rolle spielen sie und welche Schlüsse können aus der Betrachtung von Fakten gezogen werden? Gerade zum Thema »Fakten« entfaltet die Soziologie ihr Erklärungspotenzial, indem sie aus der Vielfalt der Gegenstände und theoretischen Perspektiven heraus eine differenziertere Sicht gewährt auf das, was wie zum Faktum wird. Der Band behandelt so nicht nur das »Postfaktische« als Zeitgeistphänomen, sondern grundsätzlicher die Frage nach der Sozialität des Faktischen.
10 Minuten Soziologie: Bewegung (10 Minuten Soziologie #3)
by Ute Samland Anna HenkelDer bewegte Körper, das mobile Kapital, die innovative Idee, die wandelbare Zukunft - Bewegung ist allgegenwärtig. In der modernen Gesellschaft bildet Bewegung nicht nur einen Gegenpol zu Stillstand oder Immobilität, sondern entfaltet eine ganz eigene Dynamik, sozial, kulturell und materiell Gesellschaft zu formen. Die Beiträge des Bandes beobachten »Bewegung« aus verschiedenen soziologischen Perspektiven und anhand unterschiedlicher Fallbeispiele - von der Automobilität über die physische Bewegung von Kindern bis hin zu sozialen Innovationen. Die Vielfalt des soziologisch aufgespannten Horizonts regt an zur Beweglichkeit - im Nachdenken über »Bewegung«.
