Ideals and Ideologies: A Reader is a comprehensive compilation of
classic and contemporary readings representing all of the major
"isms." It offers students a generous sampling of key thinkers in
different ideological traditions and places them in their
historical and political contexts. Used on its own or with
Political Ideologies and the Democratic Ideal, the anthology
accounts for the different ways people use ideology and conveys the
continuing importance of ideas in politics. New to this 11th
Edition: Alexander Keyssar, "Voter Suppression, Then and Now" (a
distinguished historian traces the tawdry history of attempts,
successful and unsuccessful, to disenfranchise voters). Andrew
Sullivan, "Democracies End When They Become Too Democratic" (an
eminent conservative commentator and author argues that, under
certain circumstances, democracies pose a danger to their very own
existence). Timothy Egan, "The Dumbed Down Democracy" (a prominent
author and columnist argues that American democracy has been
"dumbed down" due, in large part, to the absence of civic education
in the public school curriculum). Max Boot and David Brooks,
"Conservatives Assess Trump" (two leading contemporary
conservatives ponder the fundamental ideological problems the
current president poses for the movement, and consider the ways in
which Donald Trump is-and isn't-a true conservative). Eugene V.
Debs, "Speech to the Conference for Progressive Political Action"
(an early 20th-century American socialist and former presidential
candidate articulates his vision for a new workers' party that
would challenge capitalism in the United States). Robert Kagan,
"This is How Fascism Comes to America" (a prominent neoconservative
historian detects disturbing parallels between the rise of Donald
Trump and that of various interwar fascists). Erik Loomis, "A New
Chapter in the Black Liberation Movement" (an American historian
makes the case for Black Liberation with a particularly compelling
case study: how prisoners (mainly black) work essentially as slaves
in both public and for-profit prisons in the United States). Black
Lives Matter, "A Vision for Black Lives: Demands for Black Power,
Freedom & Justice" (leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement
set forth their basic ideological beliefs and public policy
prescriptions). Josephine Livingstone, "The Task Ahead for
Feminism" (the author argues that much remains to be done after the
#MeToo movement).
