Harlem
Harlem – jedna z najsłynniejszych dzielnic Nowego Jorku. W swojej książce Tomasz Zalewski opisuje dzisiejszy Harlem i jego mieszkańców, a także dzieje dzielnicy – od pierwszych dekad XX wieku, kiedy była to ziemia obiecana Afroamerykanów i miejsce rozkwitu ich kultury, przez okres kryzysu, kiedy stała się gettem pełnym biedy i patologii społecznej, aż do ostatnich dwóch dziesięcioleci, kiedy znowu przeżywa odrodzenie. Tomasz Zalewski przez wiele lat mieszkał w Stanach Zjednoczonych i był korespondentem Polskiej Agencji Prasowej w Waszyngtonie. Współpracuje z tygodnikiem „Polityka”. Autor książki Inne Stany. Czym różnią się od nas Amerykanie.
Combatting Disability Harassment at Work
Persons with disabilities report high levels of harassment worldwide, often based on intersectional characteristics such as race, gender and age. However, while #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter have highlighted ongoing experiences of sexual and racial harassment, disability harassment has received little attention. This book focuses on legal measures to combat disability harassment at work. It sets disability harassment in its international context, including its human rights framework, and confronts the lack of empirical information by evaluating the Irish legal framework in practice. It explores the capacity of the law to address intersectional harassment, particularly that faced by women with disabilities, and outlines the barriers to effective legal solutions.
Through Their Eyes
Americans often forget that, just as they watch the world through U.S. media, they are also being watched. Foreign correspondents based in the United States report news and provide context to events that are often unfamiliar or confusing to their readers back home. Unfortunately, there has been too little thoughtful examination of the foreign press in America and its role in the world media. Through Their Eyes fills this void in the unmistakable voice of Stephen Hess, who has been reporting on reporting for over a quarter century. Globalization is shrinking the planet, making it more important than ever to know what is going on in the world and how those events are being interpreted elsewher...

Rebellious Civil Society
Poland is the only country in which popular protest and mass opposition, epitomized by the Solidarity movement, played a significant role in bringing down the communist regime. This book, the first comprehensive study of the politics of protest in postcommunist Central Europe, shows that organized protests not only continued under the new regime but also had a powerful impact on Poland's democratic consolidation. Following the collapse of communism in 1989, the countries of Eastern Europe embarked on the gargantuan project of restructuring their social, political, economic, and cultural institutions. The social cost of these transformations was high, and citizens expressed their discontent i...

The Democracy Disadvantage
Populists are conventionally maligned as impediments to effective policymaking. They tend to undermine state institutions, exercise personalistic rule, and offer simplistic solutions to complex societal problems. But is populism always a hindrance to good governance? In this book, Brian Grodsky argues that the interplay between populism and regime type can upend expected levels of political responsiveness based on regime considerations alone. The result can be a reversal of the so-called “democratic advantage,” according to which public accountability in democratic regimes drives action beyond what is typically expected under authoritarianism. Grodsky explores the government policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic in three populist states: the United States (a democracy); China (a non-democracy); and Russia (a hybrid regime). This insightful, exploratory analysis is essential reading for students and scholars of comparative politics, populism, and disaster management.
