More than 15 years have passed since Joe Barndt wrote his influential and widely acclaimed Dismantling Racism (1991, Augsburg Books). He has now written a replacement volume - powerful, personal, and practical - that reframes the whole issue for the new context of the twenty-first century.

With great clarity Barndt traces the history of racism, especially in white America, revealing its various personal, institutional, and cultural forms. Without demonizing anyone or any race, he offers specific, positive ways in which people in all walks, including churches, can work to bring racism to an end. He includes the newest data on continuing conditions of People of Color, including their progress relative to the minimal standards of equality in housing, income and wealth, education, and health. He discusses current dimensions of race as they appear in controversies over 9/11, New Orleans, and undocumented workers. Includes analytical charts, definitions, bibliography, and exercises for readers..

Americans can't get a good education for love or money, argues Stanley Aronowitz in this groundbreaking look at the structure and curriculum of higher education Moving beyond the canon wars begun in Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind, Aronowitz offers a vision for true higher learning that places a well-rounded education back at the center of the university's mission.

The Washington Post reported the Pulitzer-nominated Tyranny of Kindness to be one of the most important books on welfare and poverty to be published in the last thirty years. This book, part biography, part expose and part political theory, is an authoritative indictment of the welfare system in the United States. Funiciello's own first-hand experience with the "endless nightmare" of it as it was and in fact, continues to be under so-called "welfare reform" provides the emotional, heartrending backdrop to this powerful book. Acquainting us with the hard day to day realities of living on welfare, Funiciello exposes the absurdities of a system that hurts poor people -- espescially women and their children -- while spending most of its taxpayer dollars on an army of social welfare professionals whose interests are in fact alligned with the system -- not with poor people. Tyranny goes beyond an analysis of the injustices and inefficiencies of the system to offer a humane, sensible, cost-effective alternative..
