These are uncertain times. The balance of power is continually
shifting worldwide. In The Next Great Clash, Michael Levin presents
evidence of a global political order on the verge of a historic
power shift from West to East. A reemerging China is the only
nation with the latent capacity to challenge American hegemony, and
Levin demonstrates that such challenges to the status quo usually
lead to war. Russia, even in its diminished capacity since the end
of the Cold War, has deftly positioned itself as the "swing player"
in a future conflict between the United States and China. Levin
contends that, since the turn of the century, the global War on
Terror has distracted the United States from these developments, as
China and Russia draw closer together in an alliance that may well
displace American primacy. The Next Great Clash, augmented by
personal experience in China, Russia, and the United States,
combines years of scholarly research and political analysis--along
with a riveting and up-to-date history of Chinese-Russian
relations. This bold and iconoclastic tour de horizon is a
must-read for anyone interested in international affairs.
Levin traces the century and a half between the American and
French revolutions and the end of the First World War, a key period
for public debate over democratization. Examining the writings and
ideology of a variety of anti-democratic thinkers, he illustrates
how arguments for franchise extention had to contend with a deeply
entrenched antipathy to democratic ideas. Only if we resurrect
expressions of this opposition, he argues, and recall the dominant
values that democracy challenged, are we able to understand the
historical and ideological context from which modern western values
and institutions emerged.
Angela Harrelson, George Floyd's aunt and closest relative in
Minnesota, tells the behind-the-scenes story of George's family-how
he lived and why he died-and how the world can find a solution to
racism through his death. Angela Harrelson grew up poor, one of
thirteen brothers and sisters raised in a shack in the North
Carolina woods. She was first in her family to go to college, first
to be commissioned in the military, and first to have a career as a
professional nurse. Along the way, she and her family were exposed
to the harshest forms of racism-from her childhood riding the
school bus with white children who made the Black kids stand, to
racist commanding officers in the Air Force who told her they
wanted her to fail. Nothing stopped Angela, and nothing removed the
hope in her heart that America could learn to stop hating people
based on the color of their skin. This is the story of George
Floyd's aunt, Angela Harrelson, and how, after being suddenly
thrust into the spotlight, she went on a quest to make sure her
nephew did not die in vain. Lift Your Voice is a memoir of faith,
hope, and bravery, of what we all-Black and white-need to do to
eradicate racism from our society. It's a story of tragic loss and
a worldwide uprising to ensure Perry's death ushers society into a
time where people are no longer judged, hated, or killed because of
the color of their skin.

This is a unique study, contuining the work of Merleau-Ponty and
Heidegger, and using the techniques of phenomenology against the
prevailing nihilism of our culture. It expands our understanding of
the human potential for spiritual self-realization by interpreting
it as the developing of a bodily-felt awareness informing our
gestures and movements. The author argues that a psychological
focus on our experience of well-being and pathology as embodied
beings contributes significantly to a historically relevant
critique of ideology. It also provides an essential touchstone in
experience for a fruitful individual and collective response to the
danger of nihilism. Dr Levin draws on Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology
to clarify Heidegger's analytic of human beings through an
interpretation that focuses on our experience of being embodied. He
reconstructs in modern terms the wisdom implicit in western and
semitic forms of religion and philosophy, considering the work of
Freud, Jung, Focault and Neitzsche, as well as that of American
educational philosophers, including Dewey. In particular, he draws
on the psychology of Freud and Jung to clarify our historical
experience of gesture and movement and to bring to light its
potential in the fulfilment of Selfhood. Throughout the book, the
pathologies of the ego and its journey into Selfhood are considered
in relation to the conditons of technology and the powers of
nihilism.
When the urban neighborhood where William Lunch Money Barnes lives
becomes too rough, his mother moves his family in the middle of the
school year to an all-white suburb 50 miles away. The good-natured
Barnes runs into one problem: everyone, including the middle
school's basketball coach, assumes that since he is African
American and from the inner city, he must be great at basketball
and can save the school team's season. Unfortunately, Barnes is not
an athlete, and contrary to assumptions about black kids, he's
terrible at basketball! Trouble arises when the school discovers
that Lunch Money Can't Shoot!
