HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY
Age Of Propoganda Description: Americans create 57% of the world`s advertising while representing only 6% of its population; half of our waking hours are spent immersed in the mass media. Persuasion has always been integral to the democratic process, but increasingly, thoughtful discussion is being replaced with simplistic soundbites and manipulative messages.Drawing on the history of propaganda as well as on contemporary research in social psychology, Age of Propaganda shows how the tactics used by political campaigners, sales agents, advertisers, televangelists, demagogues, and others often take advantage of our emotions by appealing to our deepest fears and most irrational hopes, creating a distorted vision of the world we live in.This revised and updated edition includes coverage of the Clinton - Lewinsky scandal, recent election campaigns, talk radio, teen suicide, U.F.O. abductions, the Columbine shootings, and novel propaganda tactics based on hypocrisy and false allegations....

Human Rights And Narrated Lives Description: Personal narratives have become one of the most potent vehicles for advancing human rights claims across the world. Human Rights and Narrated Lives explores what happens when autobiographical narratives are produced, received, and circulated in the field of human rights. It asks how personal narratives emerge in local settings; how international rights discourse enables and constrains individual and collective subjectivities in narration; how personal narratives circulate and take on new meanings in new contexts; and how and under what conditions they feed into, affect, and are affected by the reorganization of politics in post-cold war, postcolonial, globalizing human rights contexts....

EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY PRESS
Philosophies Of Exclusion Description: The mass movement of people across the globe constitutes a major feature of world politics today. The first comprehensive overview of various positions within political philosophy on immigration, this original text offers a radical critique of these positions. Cole argues that there is a serious gap between the legal and social practices of immigration and naturalization in liberal democratic states and theoretical justification for such practices within the tradition of liberal political philosophy. How can liberal states develop institutions of democratic citizenship and at the same time justifiably exclude outsiders from participating in those institutions? The book examines various responses to this contradiction within the liberal tradition, and finds none of them satisfactory, arguing that this has serious implications both for liberal practice and theory....

Terrorism And Tyranny Description: The war on terrorism is the first political growth industry of the new Millennium. So begins Jim Bovard`s newest and, in some ways, most provocative book as he casts yet another jaundiced eye on Washington and the motives behind protecting the homeland and prosecuting a wildly unpopular war with Iraq. For James Bovard, as always, it all comes down to a trampling of personal liberty and an end to privacy as we know it. From airport security follies that protect no one to increased surveillance of individuals and skyrocketing numbers of detainees, the war on terrorism is taking a toll on individual liberty and no one tells the whole grisly story better than Bovard....
