In The Politics of White Rights Joseph Bagley recounts the history of school desegregation litigation in Alabama focusing on the malleability and durability of white resistance He argues that the litigious battles of 195473 taught Alabamas segregationists how to fashion a more subtle defense of white privilege placing them in the vanguard of a new conservatism oriented toward the Sunbelt not the SouthScholars have recently begun uncovering the ways in which segregationists abandoned violent backlash and overt economic reprisal and learned how to rearticulate their resistance and blind others to their racial motivations Bagley is most interested in a creedal commitment to maintaining law and order which lay at the heart of this transition Before it was a buzz phrase meant to conjure up fears of urban black violence law and order represented a politics that allowed selfstyled white moderates to begrudgingly accept token desegregation and to begin to stake their own claims to constitutional rights without forcing them to repudiate segregation or white supremacyFederal courts have as recently as 2014 agreed that Alabamas property tax system is crippling black education Bagley argues that this is because in the late 1960s the politics of law and order became a politics of white rights which supported not only white flight to suburbs and private schools but also nominally colorblind changes in the states tax code These changes were designed to shield white money from the needs of increasingly black public education Activists and courts have been powerless to do anything about them because twenty years of desperate litigious combat finally taught Alabama lawmakers how to erect constitutional bulwarks that could withstand a legal assault

Find tips, reviews, and features on Rethinking Generosity Critical Theory and sold for 90.62 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
Romand Coles explores how we might understand and motivate generosity in a world in which no theological or secular position can claim absolute privilege for itself He argues that unless our generosity is fashioned in the context of a radical receptivity we tend to undermine our best aspirations In the agonistic dialogic character of human beings Coles argues is a practice of receptive generosity an openness to the specific being and voices of others and a concern to give them something of value Ethical relations between people should be animated by receptive generosity he suggests but they are always fallible and rarely free of a tragic aspect that calls us critically to renew our effortsThe word caritas is taken by Coles to signify a transfiguration of what he thinks is most worthy in the Christian tradition Postsecular caritas refers to the hope of advancing this project through more receptive efforts to engage others in ways less prone to violence imperialism and assimilation than are many aspects of Christianity and liberalismIn support of his theory Coles offers provocative readings of Kant Nietzsche Adorno and Habermas bringing Adornos ethical stance critically to bear upon the discourse ethics of Habermas He then considers practical political implications particularly for relations in civil society and among progressive social movements
