But while Mr. Forbes claimed that such a tax would level the economic playing field by eliminating countless loopholes and miles of red tape, his actual proposal betrayed such claims to fairness by overtaxing workers and undertaxing financial capital.<br> In the face of recent proposals for dramatic and far-reaching tax reform, Taxing America takes a critical look at the way the federal government collects its revenue and exposes the bias at the heart of a system which claims to be objective and fair. Contrary to traditional tax scholarship, these writers argue that an awareness of disability discrimination, economic exploitation, heterosexism, sexism and racism is crucial to any analysis of tax policy.<br> Gathering together essays whose topics range from federal housing policy to environmental clean-up costs to tax treaty policy making, Karen B. Brown and Mary Louise Fellows present a philosophy that is as simple as it is radical: economic arrangements contribute significantly to the creation of social hierarchies and the perpetuation of discrimination. Given this reality, Brown and Fellows maintain that the goal of the federal tax law should be social justice and the disruption of discriminatory and exploitative practices.</p>", "author": "Karen B.

Tracing the roots of patriarchal sexual repression back to revolutionary America, Kann asks highly contemporary questions about the boundaries between public and private life, suggesting, provocatively, that political and sexual freedom should go hand in hand. This is a must-read for those interested in the interwining of politics, public life, and sexuality.<br>Ben Agger, University of Texas at Arlington <br><br>The American Revolution was fought in the name of liberty. In popular imagination, the Revolution stands for the triumph of populism and the death of patriarchal elites. But this is not the case, argues Mark E. Kann. Rather, in the aftermath of the Revolution, America developed a society and system of laws that kept patriarchal authority alive and wellespecially when it came to the sex lives of citizens. <br><br>In Taming Passion for the Public Good, Kann contends that that despite the rhetoric of classical liberalism, the founding generation did not trust ordinary citizens with extensive liberty. Through the policing of sex, elites sought to maintain control of individuals' private lives, ensuring that citizens would be productive, moral, and orderly in the new nation. New American elites applauded traditional marriages in which men were the public face of the family and women managed the home. They frowned on interracial and interclass sexual unions. They saw masturbation as evidence of a lack of self-control over ones passions, and they considered prostitution the result of aggressive female sexuality. Both were punishable offenses. <br><br>By seeking to police sex, elites were able to keep alive what Kann calls a resilient patriarchy. Under the guise of paternalism, they were able simultaneously to retain social control while espousing liberal principles, with the goal of ultimately molding the country into the new American ideal: a moral and orderly citizenry that voluntarily did what was best for the public good.</p>", "author": "Mark E.

Mixing controversial social issues, light topics, and audience participation, it created a new genre, one that is still flourishing, despite being harshly criticized, over two decades later. Now, the daytime TV landscape is littered with talk shows. But why do people watch these shows? How do they make sense of them? And how do these shows affect their viewers' sense of what constitutes appropriate public debate?<br> In Talking Trash, Julie Engel Manga offers a fascinating exploration of these questions and reveals the wide range of reasons viewers are drawn to trash talk. Focusing on such shows as Oprah!, Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones, and Maury Povitch, and drawing upon interviews with women who watch these shows, Talking Trash is the first examination of the talk show phenomenon from the viewers perspective. In taking this approach, Manga is able to understand what talk shows mean to the women who watch them. And by refusing to judge either the shows or their viewers as good or bad, she is able to grasp how viewers relate to these shows-as escape, entertainment, uninhibited public discourse, or an accurate reflection of their own hardships and heartaches. Manga concludes that while the form of trash-talk shows may be relatively new, the socio-cultural experience they embody has been with us for a long time.<br> Absorbing, entertaining, and keenly perceptive, Talking Trash illuminates the complex viewer response to trash talk and examines the cultural politics surrounding this wildly controversial popular phenomenon.</p>", "author": "Julie Manga", "slug": "talking-trash-251598-9780814761298-julie-manga", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780814761298.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "251598", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/251598/talking-trash-251598-9780814761298-julie-manga", "bisac_codes": [ "SOC022000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780814756843", "EISBN13": "9780814761298", "EISBN10": "0814761291" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010017638322" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000251597", "attributes": { "name": "Superdads", "subtitle": "How Fathers Balance Work and Family in the 21st Century", "description": "<p>Look!

They are nothing like their fathers, old dads who focus on their traditional role as breadwinner, or even some of their peers, so-called new dads who work around the increasing demands of their paternal roles without really bucking the system. In taking their family life in a completely new direction, these superdads challenge the way we think about long-held assumptions about mens role in the family unit. <br><br>Thought-provoking and heartfelt, Superdads provides an overview of an emerging trend in fatherhood and the policy solutions that may help support its growth, pointing the way toward a future society with a more feasible approach to the work-family divide.</p>", "author": "Gayle Kaufman", "slug": "superdads-251597-9780814785805-gayle-kaufman", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780814785805.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "251597", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/251597/superdads-251597-9780814785805-gayle-kaufman", "bisac_codes": [ "SOC026000", "SOC032000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780814749166", "EISBN13": "9780814785805", "EISBN10": "0814785808" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010017638215" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000251596", "attributes": { "name": "Swan, What Shores?", "subtitle": "", "description": "<p>Winner of the Colorado Book Award;<br>Winner of the Willa Literary Award<br> As heard on Public Radio International's The Writer's Almanac!<br> Full of music and evocative word play, Veronica Patterson's Swan, What Shores? offers alluring poems varied in form and inventive in approach.

Moran also shows that while Lacan's subject provides more focus on this issue, Lacan reverts to the Freudian division in his use of logically contradictory assumptions concerning the location of agency.<br> Drawing on contemporary theory development, from Lacanian innovations to the social theories of Anthony Giddens, Moran proposes a new and fertile approach to a fundamental problem, significantly narrowing the gap between psychoanalytic theory and practice.</p>", "author": "Frances Moran", "slug": "subject-and-agency-in-psychoanalysis-251587-9780814761052-frances-moran", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780814761052.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "251587", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/251587/subject-and-agency-in-psychoanalysis-251587-9780814761052-frances-moran", "bisac_codes": [ "PSY000000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780814754825", "EISBN13": "9780814761052", "EISBN10": "0814761054" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010000326750" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000251586", "attributes": { "name": "Stopping the Killing", "subtitle": "How Civil Wars End", "description": "<p>Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Liberia, Somalia, Azerbaijan, El Salvador, Northern Ireland, Lebanon, Cambodia -- all provide bloody evidence that civil wars continue to have a powerful impact on the international scene. Because they tear at the very fabric of a society and pit countryman against countryman, civil wars are often the most brutal and difficult to extinguish -- witness the American Revolution. <br>And yet, civil wars do inevitably end. England is no longer criss-crossed by warring armies representing York and Lancaster or King and Parliament. The French no longer kill one another over the divine right of kings. Argentines seem reconciled to living in a single state, rather than several. The ideologies of the Spanish Civil War now seem largely irrelevant. And the possibility of Southern secession is an issue long-buried in the American past. <br>The question then begs itself: how do people who have been killing one another with considerable enthusiasm and success come together to form a common government? How can individuals and factions work together, politically and economically, with others who have killed their friends, parents, children and lovers? How are armed societies disarmed? What effect does a total military victory have on a lasting peace? In sum, how are civil societies constructed from civil violence and chaos? This is the central concern of Stopping the Killing.<br>In this highly original and much needed volume, a distinguished group of experts on civil wars discuss both specific conflicts and broader theoretical issues. Individual chapters examine civil wars in Colombia, the Sudan, Yemen, America, Greece, and Nigeria, and analyze the causes of peace, the relationship between the battlefield and the negotiating table, and issues of settlement.
