The splintering of the American mind : identity politics, inequality, and community on today's college campuses / by Egginton, William,1969-author.(CARDINAL)669119;

Introduction -- Identity -- The liberal imagination -- A contagion of disapproval -- An authoritarian underbelly -- Boutique multiculturalism -- A presupposition of incommunicability -- Hyper-specialization -- The trap of relevance -- The time to think --A neoliberal ethic -- Sounding the alarm -- Inequality -- The great equalizer -- What happened to the American dream? -- Toddler trenches -- School haze -- Educational ecologies -- The college bottleneck -- Diversity in higher ed -- From inequality to divisiveness -- The revenge of the middle class -- Community -- Learning to think -- The Walrus and the carpenter -- Education and fellow-feeling -- Democracy and the liberal arts -- Media literacy -- Jefferson's words -- What are people for? -- Growing community -- The idea of America."A timely, provocative, necessary look at how identity politics has come to dominate college campuses and higher education in America at the expense of a more essential commitment to equality. Thirty years after the culture wars, identity politics is now the norm on college campuses--and it hasn't been an unalloyed good for our education system or the country. Though the civil rights movement, feminism, and gay pride led to profoundly positive social changes, William Egginton argues that our culture's increasingly narrow focus on the individual puts us in a dangerous place. The goal of our education system, and particularly the liberal arts, was originally to strengthen community; but the exclusive focus on individualism has led to a new kind of intolerance that degrades our civic discourse and fatally distracts progressive politics from its commitment to equality and inclusivity. Egginton argues that our colleges and universities have become exclusive, expensive clubs for the cultural and economic elite instead of a national, publicly funded project for the betterment of the country. Only a return to the goals of community, and the egalitarian values underlying a liberal arts education, can head off the further fracturing of the body politic and the splintering of the American mind. With lively, on-the-ground reporting and trenchant analysis, The Splintering of the American Mind is a powerful book that is guaranteed to be controversial within academia and beyond. At this critical juncture, the book challenges higher education and every American to reengage with our history and its contexts, and to imagine our nation in new and more inclusive ways."--Dust jacket.

A renaissance of our own : a memoir & manifesto on reimagining / by Cargle, Rachel Elizabeth,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-238).Reimagining belief systems -- Reflections: Identify your higheset values -- Reimagining relationships -- Reimagining feminism -- Reimagining education -- Reimagining work -- Reimagining rest."A deeply personal and illuminating approach to antiracism and allyship, revealing the power of imagination and action to dismantle oppressive systems and build liberating ones, from a highly lauded lecturer, public academic, writer, and activist. In A Renaissance of Our Own, Rachel Cargle details the seminal event that put her on the map--her viral 2017 Women's March appearance that thrust her into the national conversation on feminism and allyship--and how she soon woke up to the fallacies of a movement she had believed in. Discovering and unpacking the white-washed lies she'd been fed about intersectional "solidarity," Cargle's awakening, although painful and seismic, gifted her the opportunity to see the world through a new lens. Now, Cargle shares her journey, depicting a framework for allyship, and beyond, that she developed along the way. In creating KEA (Knowledge, Empathy, Action), or as she calls them "from the head to the heart to the feet," Cargle learned to craft a world independent of oppressive constructs that allowed her to critically examine her surroundings. Alongside KEA, she established a set of intentional values based on an individual sense of purpose, known as higher values, and through the combination of these tools, reimagined her approach to the personal, societal, and structural components of life that are often stifled. She provides the same tools and prompts that she used to unearth and align her own values so anyone can wield them, and ultimately, identify the structures and mindsets that hold them back and learn to move forward. A Renaissance of Our Own serves as a reminder of the power of reimagining as an engine for critical learning, radical empathizing, and intentional action"--

Subverted : how I helped the sexual revolution hijack the women's movement / by Browder, Sue,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-213) and index.The inside witness -- The problem that had no name -- Making up a revolution -- The deceiver becomes the deceived -- A fly on the wall of the Chinese room -- Good-bye to glamour -- Philosophy of a little gray man -- Harry's dilemma -- Just broke again -- Two roads diverge -- The new woman asks new questions -- From Cosmo to cosmos (and back again) -- Hollywood, here we come -- Seventeen minutes of fame -- Our nightmare in Cerritos -- Two monks in Corona -- Lessons under the redwoods -- Finding our way to freedom -- Epilogue : Christmas in the ICU.Contraception and abortion were not originally part of the 1960s women's movement. How did the women's movement, which fought for equal opportunity for women in education and the workplace, and the sexual revolution, which reduced women to ambitious sex objects, become so united? In Subverted, Sue Ellen Browder documents for the first time how it all happened, in her own life and in the life of an entire country. Trained at the University of Missouri School of Journalism to be an investigative journalist, Browder unwittingly betrayed her true calling and became a propagandist for sexual liberation. As a long-time freelance writer for Cosmopolitan magazine, she wrote pieces meant to soft-sell unmarried sex, contraception, and abortion as the single woman's path to personal fulfillment. She did not realize until much later that propagandists higher and cleverer than herself were influencing her thinking and her personal choices as they subverted the women's movement. The thirst for truth, integrity, and justice for women that led Browder into journalism in the first place eventually led her to find forgiveness and freedom in the place she least expected to find them. Her in-depth research, her probing analysis, and her honest self-reflection set the record straight and illumine a way forward for others who have suffered from the unholy alliance between the women's movement and the sexual revolution. - Publisher.

Young and restless : the girls who sparked America's revolutions / by Kahn, Mattie,author.(CARDINAL)866547;

In 1912, women's rights activists organized a massive march in support of women's suffrage, led up Fifth Ave in Manhattan, not by Susan B. Anthony, but by a teenage Chinese immigrant named Mabel Ping-Hua Lee. Half a century before the better known movements for workers' rights began, over 1,500 girls--some as young as ten--walked out of factories in Lowell, Massachusetts, demanding safer working conditions and higher wages in one of the nation's first-ever labor strikes. Young women have been disenfranchised and discounted, but the true history of major social movements in America reveals their might: They have kicked off almost every single one. Young and Restless tells the story of one of the most foundational and underappreciated forces in moments of American revolution: teenage girls. From the Averican Revolution itself to the civil rights movement to nuclear disarmament protests and the women's liberation movement, through Black Lives Matter and school strikes for climate, Mattie Kahn uncovers how teen girls have leveraged their unique strengths, from fandom to intimate friendships, to organize and lay serious political groundwork for movements that often sidelined them. Their stories illuminate how much we owe to teen girls throughout the generations, what skills young women use to mobilize and find their voices, and, crucially, what we can all stand to learn from them"--
