Defectors : the rise of the Latino far right and what it means for America / by Ramos, Paola,1987-author.(CARDINAL)840227;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-232) and index.Introduction : Latino defectors -- Part I. Tribalism -- Border vigilantes -- Don Quixote's fantasy -- Them -- Part II. Traditionalism -- Army of God -- Army of God, part ii : the culture warriors -- Stories and mourning in the era of (dis)information -- Part III. Trauma -- Wounds, democracies, and strongmen -- General Tarrio and the insurrectionists -- Part IV. The way forward -- 2045 : the Cuban confederate, the undocumented border patrol agent, and America the free -- Afterword : Then, now, tomorrow."An award-winning journalist's deeply reported exploration of how race, identity, and political trauma have influenced the rise of far-right sentiment among Latinos, and how this group can shape American politics. Democrats have historically assumed they can rely on the Latino vote, but recent elections have called that loyalty into question. In fact, despite his vociferous anti-immigrant rhetoric and disastrous border policies, Donald Trump won a higher percentage of the Latino vote in 2020 than he did in 2016. Now, journalist Paola Ramos pulls back the curtain on these voters, traveling around the country to uncover what motivates them to vote for and support issues that seem so at odds with their self-interest. From coast to coast, from cities to rural towns, Defectors introduces readers to underdog GOP candidates, January 6th insurrectionists, evangelical pastors, and culture war crusaders, aiming to identify the influences at the heart of this rightward shift. Through their stories, Ramos shows how tribalism, traditionalism, and political trauma within the Latino community have been weaponized to radicalize and convert voters, who, like many of their white counterparts, are fearful of losing their place in American society. We meet Monica De La Cruz, a Republican congresswoman from the Rio Grande Valley who won on a platform promising to finish "what Trump started" and pushing the Great Replacement theory; Daniel Ortiz, a Mexican man who refers to himself as a Spaniard and opposed the removal of a statue of a Spanish conquistador in New Mexico; Luis Cabrera, an evangelical pastor pushing to "Make America Godly Again"; Anthony Aguero, an independent journalist turned border vigilante; and countless other individuals and communities who make up the rising conservative Latino population. Cross-cultural and assiduously reported, Defectors highlights how one of America's most powerful and misunderstood electorates may come to define the future of American politics." --

Goddess of anarchy : the life and times of Lucy Parsons, American radical / by Jones, Jacqueline,1948-author.(CARDINAL)149519;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 361-415) and index.Part 1: An enduring Civil War -- Wide-open Waco -- Republican heyday -- Part 2: Gilded Age dynamite -- A local war -- Farewell to the ballot box -- A false alarm? -- Haymarket -- Bitter fruit of braggadocio -- "The dusky goddess of anarchy speaks her mind" -- The blood of my husband -- Part 3: Blatherkite -- Goddess of free speech -- The widow Parsons sets her course -- Variety in life, and its crimes -- Tending the sacred flame of Haymarket -- Wars at home and abroad -- Part 4: The falling curtain of mystery -- Facts and fine-spun theories -- Epilogue."Goddess of Anarchy is the biography of the formidable radical activist, writer, and orator Lucy Parsons (1853-1942), also known as Lucia Eldine Gonzalez Parsons, whose long life was entwined with the major radical labor struggles of her turbulent era. Born to an enslaved woman in Virginia in 1851, Parsons became the wife of Confederate veteran and anarchist organizer Albert R. Parsons, who was unjustly imprisoned and eventually hanged in 1887 for his alleged role in the Haymarket bombing in Chicago. After Albert's imprisonment and death, Parsons forged her own career as orator and labor agitator, editor, free-speech activist, essayist, fiction writer, publisher, and political commentator. A fearless advocate of First Amendment rights, a founding member of the Socialist Party of America in 1900, and a cofounder of the Industrial Workers of the World in 1905, Parsons was one of only a handful of women and the only African American of her era to speak regularly to large crowds throughout the nation. Parsons was a thoughtful critic of Gilded Age America, but also well-known for her rhetorical provocations. She worked closely with, or bitterly against, other labor agitators of her day, including Eugene Debs and Emma Goldman, with whom she had a feud about the sexual liberation of women. And yet Lucy Parsons' life was shrouded in contradictions, marked by a series of traumas and personal tragedies. Historian Jacqueline Jones presents here a nuanced portrait of Parsons, reckoning with all of her paradoxes--her consistent advocacy of violence, her made-up Hispanic-Indian identity, and her refusal to acknowledge her African descent and the plight of African-Americans"--

Goddess of Anarchy : the life and times of Lucy Parsons, American radical [sound recording] / by Jones, Jacqueline,author.(CARDINAL)427238; Smallwood, Nylsanarrator.;

Read by the Nylsa Smallwood."From a prize-winning historian, a new portrait of an extraordinary activist and the turbulent age in which she lived Goddess of Anarchy recounts the formidable life of the militant writer, orator, and agitator Lucy Parsons. Born to an enslaved woman in Virginia in 1851 and raised in Texas-where she met her husband, the Haymarket "martyr" Albert Parsons-Lucy was a fearless advocate of First Amendment rights, a champion of the working classes, and one of the most prominent figures of African descent of her era. And yet, her life was riddled with contradictions-she advocated violence without apology, concocted a Hispanic-Indian identity for herself, and ignored the plight of African Americans. Drawing on a wealth of new sources, Jacqueline Jones presents not only the exceptional life of the famous American-born anarchist but also an authoritative account of her times-from slavery through the Great Depression"--"Goddess of Anarchy is the biography of the formidable radical activist, writer, and orator Lucy Parsons (1853-1942), also known as Lucia Eldine Gonzalez Parsons, whose long life was entwined with the major radical labor struggles of her turbulent era.

New prize for these eyes : the rise of America's second civil rights movement / by Williams, Juan,author.(CARDINAL)190177;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-259) and index.Introduction: birth of a second movement -- A post-racial America? -- Bursting the bubble -- Skittles and a hoodie -- #BlackLivesMatter -- White backlash -- The alt-right White House -- Stacey and the squad -- "I'm Dead" -- A new confederate movement -- The blow-up -- What comes next."In this highly anticipated follow-up to Eyes on the Prize, bestselling author Juan Williams turns his attention to the rise of a new 21st-century civil rights movement. More than a century of civil rights activism reached a mountaintop with the arrival of a Black man in the Oval Office. But hopes for a unified, post-racial America were deflated when Barack Obama's presidency met with furious opposition. A white, right-wing backlash was brewing, and a volcanic new movement-a second civil rights movement-began to erupt. In New Prize for These Eyes, award-winning author Juan Williams shines a light on this historic, new movement. Who are its heroes? Where is it headed? What fires, furies, and frustrations distinguish it from its predecessor? In the 20th century, Black activists and their white allies called for equal rights and an end to segregation. They appealed to the Declaration of Independence's defiant assertion that "all men are created equal." They prioritized legal battles in the courtroom and legislative victories in Congress. Today's movement is dealing with new realities. Demographic changes have placed progressive whites in a new role among the largest, youngest population of Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians in the nation's history. The new generation is social media savvy, and they have an agenda fueled by discontent with systemic racism and the persistent scourge of police brutality. Today's activists are making history in a new economic and cultural landscape, and they are using a new set of tools and strategies to do so. Williams brilliantly traces the arc of this new civil rights era, from Obama to Charlottesville to January 6th and a Confederate flag in the Capitol. An essential read for activists, historians, and anyone passionate about America's future, New Prize for These Eyes is more than a recounting of history. It is a forward-looking call to action, urging Americans to get in touch with the progress made and hurdles yet to be overcome"--
