Saxton alexander (66 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Saxton's bold inquiry into the anti-Chinese ideology and politics of white workers in California demonstrates the power of race to distort political consciousness and subvert labor solidarity. His splendid analysis puzzles out the sources and implications of anti-Chinese hostility during the 19th century, and challenges labor scholars and activists to examine the impact of the trade union movement nationally.--Gwendolyn Mink, author of Old Labor and New Immigrants in American Political Development An eloquent and meticulous history of race and class which is as exciting today as when it first appeared.--David Roediger, Professor of History, University of Minnesota Saxton's path-breaking study continues to underscore the significant of race in the American politics and culture--a timely critical perspective for the 21st century.--Ronald Takaki, author of A Different Mirror No one interested in the intersection of race, class, and ideology can neglect this book. It deserves a wide audience among a new generation of college students.--Robert W. Rydell, Professor of History, Montana State University A classic--one that helped launch the new western history and belongs on a short list of books that have transformed our understanding of the western experience.--Gary B. Nash, Director of the National Center for History in the Schools.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The purpose of this study is to examine the Chinese confrontation, on the Pacific Coast, as it was experienced and rationalized by the white majority. For reasons which will be evident in what follows, the main body of the work (chapters 3 through 11) will focus on the Democratic party and the labor movement of California through the forty-year period after the Civil War. The two opening chapters turn back to explore aspects of the Jacksonian background which appear crucial to an understanding of what occurred in California. The final chapter looks beyond the turn of the century to trace certain results of the sequence of events in the West for the labor movement as a whole, and to suggest the influence of those events upon the crystallization of an American concept of national identity.…

Examining images of race at a popular level - from blackface minstrelsy to the construction of the Western hero, from grassroots political culture to dime novels - as well as the philosophical constructions of the political elite, it is a powerful and comprehensive account of the ideological forces at work in the formation of modern America.…

The great Lizard Analogy. 14. JeruSalem. Since September 11 2001 religion has been at the center of debates about the global future. Religion and the Human Prospect relates these issues systematically to a path breaking interpretation of the history of religion its part in human development and its potential role in preventing or enabling global catastrophe. Religion has made possible critical transitions in the emergence and development of human society. At the moment when our humanoid ancestors became aware of the inevitability of death religion interposed the belief in spiritual beings who gave it new significance. When individual self interest and collective survival conflicted religion defended collective survival by codifying its requirements as morality. When inequalities of wealth and power developed religion extended moral codes to include obligations of dominance and submission. Religion enabled a species facing constant hunger and scarcity to adapt and spread. Today however facing ecological disaster exhaustion of essential natural resources and the proliferation of nuclear chemical and biological weapons religion no longer provides a collective defense mechanism for the human species. Instead the solutions it has provided have now become central to the problem of human survival. This magisterial and compelling work weaves together evolutionary theory anthropology reflection on theological treatments of the problem of evil and ideas from literature and philosophy into an account of the human prospect that is truly epic in its ambition and explanatory power. 240 pp.…
