This book promotes the notion of second chances and the importance
of human services within the communities most affected by crime and
the criminal justice system. Recognition of the fallibility of
humans and the necessity of redemption is the first step to change
our attitude toward guilt and punishment. Barring citizens with
criminal records from obtaining housing, employment, education, and
public benefits like Medicaid and food stamps is not only unjust
but unproductive for a human society. The contributors to this
volume argue that second chances are a foundational principle of
the human services field.
Crisis and Commonwealth: Marcuse, Marx, McLaren advances Marcuse
scholarship by presenting four hitherto untranslated and
unpublished manuscripts by Herbert Marcuse from the Frankfurt
University Archive on themes of economic value theory, socialism,
and humanism. Contributors to this edited collection, notably Peter
Marcuse, Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren, Zvi Tauber, Arnold L. Farr
and editor, Charles Reitz, are deeply engaged with the foundational
theories of Marcuse and Marx with regard to a future of freedom,
equality, and justice. Douglas Dowd furnishes the critical
historical context with regard to U.S. foreign and domestic policy,
particularly its features of economic imperialism and militarism.
Reitz draws these elements together to show that the writings by
Herbert Marcuse and these formidable authors can ably assist a
global movement toward intercultural commonwealth. The collection
extends the critical theories of Marcuse and Marx to an analysis of
the intensifying inequalities symptomatic of our current economic
distress. It presents a collection of essays by radical scholars
working in the public interest to develop a critical analysis of
recent global economic dislocations. Reitz presents a new
foundation for emancipatory practice-a labor theory of ethics and
commonwealth, and the collection breaks new ground by constructing
a critical theory of wealth and work. A central focus is building a
new critical vision for labor, including academic labor. Lessons
are drawn to inform transformative political action, as well as the
practice of a critical, multicultural pedagogy, supporting a new
manifesto for radical educators contributed by Peter McLaren. The
collection is intended especially to appeal to contemporary
interests of college students and teachers in several interrelated
social science disciplines: sociology, social problems, economics,
ethics, business ethics, labor education, history, political
philosophy, multicultural education, and critical pedagogy.
