    Uncivil Rites: Palestine and the Limits of Academic Freedom , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
    In the summer of 2014, renowned American Indian studies professor Steven Salaita had his appointment to a tenured professorship revoked by the board of trustees of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Salaita's employment was terminated in response to his public tweets criticizing the Israeli government's summer assault on Gaza. Salaita's firing generated a huge public outcry, with thousands petitioning for his reinstatement, and more than 5,000 scholars pledging to boycott UIUC. His case raises important questions about academic freedom, free speech on campus, and the movement for justice in Palestine. In this book, Salaita combines personal reflection and political critique to shed new light on his controversial termination. He situates his case at the intersection of important issues that affect both higher education and social justice activism. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tristan Morris.

    In-Your-Face Politics: The Consequences of Uncivil Media , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
    Americans are disgusted with watching politicians screaming and yelling at one another on television. But does all the noise really make a difference? Drawing on numerous studies, Diana Mutz provides the first comprehensive look at the consequences of in-your-face politics. Her book contradicts the conventional wisdom by documenting both the benefits and the drawbacks of in-your-face media. "In-your-face" politics refers to both the level of incivility and the up-close and personal way that we experience political conflict on television. Just as actual physical closeness intensifies people's emotional reactions to others, the appearance of closeness on a video screen has similar effects. We tend to keep our distance from those with whom we disagree. Modern media, however, puts those we dislike in our faces in a way that intensifies our negative reactions. Mutz finds that incivility is particularly detrimental to facilitating respect for oppositional political viewpoints and to citizens' levels of trust in politicians and the political process. On the positive side, incivility and close-up camera perspectives contribute to making politics more physiologically arousing and entertaining to viewers. This encourages more attention to political programs, stimulates recall of the content, and encourages people to relay content to others. In the end, In-Your-Face Politics demonstrates why political incivility is not easily dismissed as a disservice to democracy - it may even be a necessity in an age with so much competition for citizens' attention.

    Rude Democracy: Civility and Incivility in American Politics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 379min
    Democracy is, by its very nature, often rude. But there are limits to how uncivil we should be. In the 2010 edition of Rude Democracy, Susan Herbst explored the ways we discuss public policy, how we treat each other as we do, and how we can create a more civil national culture. She used the examples of Sarah Palin and Barack Obama to illustrate her case. She also examined how young people come to form their own attitudes about civility and political argument. In a new preface for this 2020 edition, the author connects her book to our current highly contentious politics and what it means for the future of democratic argument.The book is published by Temple University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.Winner of the Doris Graber Award, American Political Science Association"A contribution that all future scholarly work on incivility cannot ignore."

    Government Ruins Nearly Everything: Reclaiming Social Issues from Uncivil Servants , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 269min
    What government touches, it breaks. So why do we ask it to solve our most pressing and personal issues: abortion, schools, guns, and marriage? Has its failures with VA hospitals, the war on drugs, farm subsidies, the IRS, NSA leaks, and the war on poverty given us any reason to trust them? Yet we still do. Over and over. Because we think there's no alternative. But there is. Government Ruins Nearly Everything helps you remember who's the boss and who's the public servant, and gives you tools to reclaim what was yours all along. You'll learn: Why private citizens are best suited to solve the "fireworks" issues How to keep the government from ruining our lives even more What you can do, step-by-step, to reclaim ownership of the things that matter most When government gets the relationship with its citizens upside down - when it parcels out our rights in tiny portions, one freedom at a time - what can you do? The same as every American: Reset the balance, one free citizen at a time. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Linda Bruno.
