Much has been written about Berdis Baldwin's son James, about Alberta King's son Martin Luther and Louise Little's son Malcolm. But virtually nothing has been said about the extraordinary women who raised them, all born into the beginning of the 20th century and its deadly landscape of racial prejudice. Jim Crow. Exploitation. Unpoliced violence. Police violence.

Patrick Zaki in questo libro racconta la sua storia: cosa è successo davvero quel giorno e cosa è avvenuto poi, nei giorni successivi: gli interrogatori, l’isolamento, le torture, il confronto con un mondo – quello delle carceri – in cui tutti sono ridotti a una condizione disumana. E cosa lo ha tenuto vivo: gli studi, la passione per il calcio, la musica, l’affetto dei suoi cari, dell’amata Reny, dell’Italia tutta.

The two young freedom fighters joined forces in 1964 with local Black activist Andrew Hawkins.

In this dazzling piece of reportage, Anna Krien investigates the contemporary animal kingdom and our place in it. From pets to food, from wildness to science experiments, Krien also reveals how animals are faring in this new world order. Examples range from the joyful to the deeply unsettling. As Krien delves deeper, she finds that animals can trigger primal emotions in us, which we are often not willing to acknowledge. "Us and Them" is a clear-eyed look at how we do - and should - treat animals.

Das "Ich" ist politisch nicht im Trend. Wer sich zur individuellen Freiheit als Ideal bekennt, steht schnell im Verdacht des rücksichtslosen Egoismus. Zu Unrecht, meint die Juristin und Journalistin Anna Schneider. In ihrem Debattenbuch schwärmt und wirbt sie im Dialog mit großen Denkerinnen und Denkern des Liberalismus für die Freiheit, das unbeliebte Ideal. Sie prangert antiliberale Tendenzen im politischen Diskurs der Gegenwart an und sucht eine Erklärung für die Freiheitsskepsis, die sie den Deutschen diagnostiziert.
