No Politics But Class Politics
Denouncing racism and celebrating diversity have become central to progressive politics.For many on the left, it seems, social justice would consist of an equitable distribution of wealth, power and esteem among racial groups.But as Adolph Reed Jr. and Walter Benn Michaels argue in this incisive collection of essays, the emphasis here is tragically misplaced.Not only can a fixation with racial disparities distract from the pervasive influence of class, it can actually end up legitimising economic inequality.As Reed and Michaels put it, "racism is real and anti-racism is both admirable and necessary, but extant racism isn't what principally produces our inequality and anti-racism won't eliminate it". No Politics but Class Politics gathers together Reed and Michaels's recent essays on inequality, along with a newly commissioned interview with the authors and an illuminating foreword by Daniel Zamora and Anton Jager.These writings eschew the sloppy thinking and moral posturing that too often characterise discussions of race and class in favour of clear-eyed social, cultural and historical analysis.Reed and Michaels make the case here for a genuinely radical politics: a politics which aspires not to the establishment of a demographically representative social elite, but instead to economic justice for everyone.

The Bible calls us to be good citizens who love God and love our neighbour – how does that affect how we vote?People say that religion and politics shouldn’t mix, but God has a lot to say about how we live together.Politics touches many things in our lives, and so, as Christians, we should examine our political beliefs in the light of what God says. Challenging us not to bury our heads in the sand, Joshua Wester encourages young adults to view politics through the lens of their Christian faith, and to test their beliefs against the Bible. This short guide tackles crucial topics that young adults should be thinking about as they think about politics, get involved in conversations and play their part as a member of society.Equipping young people with biblical perspectives and practicalities, Wester enables and equips young people to actively engage with the political process and make a difference.

Nationalized Politics : Evaluating Electoral Politics Across Time
In the United States, politics has become increasingly nationalized in recent years as voter decision-making is now driven by partisan or national political forces rather than the attributes of individual candidates.Indeed, voters now seem more concerned with which of the two national parties will be in power across all levels of government as opposed to which candidate will represent them individually.The phenomenon has now reached levels unseen since the nineteenth century, when the party ballot was in use and voters were generally unable to select among individual candidates.Nationalized Politics asks and answers the question, "how has nationalization influenced elections across different political eras?" Jamie L.Carson, Joel Sievert, and Ryan D. Williamson look at historical variation in nationalization through an analysis of congressional elections from 1840 to 2020.By examining roughly 180 years of elections, the authors leverage considerable differences in electoral competition, electoral rules, nationalization, polarization, and partisan advantage via the incumbency advantage.Moreover, Carson, Sievert, and Williamson employ a unique survey design to capture citizen attitudes toward the nationalization of politics to further consider the question of how nationalization is currently shaping politics.Providing a comprehensive history of US congressional elections, Nationalized Politics illustrates the roots of the current electoral landscape in the US.

Food Politics : How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health
We all witness, in advertising and on supermarket shelves, the fierce competition for our food dollars.In this engrossing expose, Marion Nestle goes behind the scenes to reveal how the competition really works and how it affects our health.The abundance of food in the United States - enough calories to meet the needs of every man, woman, and child twice over - has a downside.Our over-efficient food industry must do everything possible to persuade people to eat more - more food, more often, and in larger portions - no matter what it does to waistlines or well-being.Like manufacturing cigarettes or building weapons, making food is big business.Food companies in 2000 generated nearly $900 billion in sales.They have stakeholders to please, shareholders to satisfy, and government regulations to deal with.It is nevertheless shocking to learn precisely how food companies lobby officials, co-opt experts, and expand sales by marketing to children, members of minority groups, and people in developing countries.We learn that the food industry plays politics as well as or better than other industries, not least because so much of its activity takes place outside the public view. Editor of the 1988 "Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health", Nestle is uniquely qualified to lead us through the maze of food industry interests and influences.She vividly illustrates food politics in action: watered-down government dietary advice, schools pushing soft drinks, diet supplements promoted as if they were First Amendment rights.When it comes to the mass production and consumption of food, strategic decisions are driven by economics - not science, not common sense, and certainly not health.No wonder most of us are thoroughly confused about what to eat to stay healthy.An accessible and balanced account, "Food Politics" will forever change the way we respond to food industry marketing practices.By explaining how much the food industry influences government nutrition policies and how cleverly it links its interests to those of nutrition experts, this path-breaking book helps us understand more clearly than ever before what we eat and why.
