Junk Politics: The Trashing of the American Mind
|
|
New York, New York: Nation Books, 2003. Trade Paperback. Near Fine/No Jacket as Issued. Minor rubbing wear. Description: "When George Bush's inaugural address stressed civility, compassion, and character, he was continuing a decade-long trend of American politicians trying to get 'touchy feely' with the American electorate. Who could forget Bill Clinton's 'I-feel-your-pain' chatter from the 1992 election, or the party conventions of 2000 where delegates recounted tales of privations endured and overcome. What this amounts to is the growth of no-politics politics-or 'Junk Politics,' as Benjamin DeMott - one of America's leading cultural critics - names it. DeMott explains that lack of character, civility, and feeling, rather than inequality and injustice, is seen as the root cause of our 'national woes.'". more information

The Wimp Factor: Gender Gaps, Holy Wars, and the Politics of Anxious Masculinity
|
|
Boston, Massachusetts: Beacon Press, 2005. Trade Paperback. Fine/No Jacket as Issued. A clean, bright copy. Description: In this eye-opening book on how male anxiety has come to shape political thinking and behavior, Dr. Stephen Ducat argues that there is a direct association between the magnitude of a man's femiphobia and his tendency to embrace right-wing political opinions. Ducat shows how anxious masculinity has been a discernible subtext in politics throughout the history of Western culture--from the political campaigns of ancient Greece to the contest for the presidency. He also explores why and how political issues--such as environmental protection, support for war, welfare reform, and crime and punishment--get gendered. ISBN: 0-8070-4345-1. more information

So she did what millions of Americans do, she looked for a job and a place to live, worked that job, and tried to make ends meet."--Amazon. 230pp. ISBN: 0-8050-6389-7. more information
