Táto séria skúma dynamické prepojenie medzi ľudovými hnutiami a ústavnými zmenami v americkej histórii. Ponúka hlboký pohľad na to, ako občianska angažovanosť a spoločenské otrasy formovali a pretvárali základné zákony krajiny. S dôrazom na kľúčové momenty a revolúcie v americkom myslení tieto diela zasadzujú historické udalosti do širšieho kontextu. Čitatelia získajú nový pohľad na budúce smerovanie občianskych záväzkov a politickej identity.
A re-interpretation of American constitutional history, planned as the first of three volumes. Ackerman examines the transforming impact of popular movements on higher law. He also aims to put the Reagan revolution into perspective and redefine America's civic commitments for the future.
This text argues that constitutional change, seemingly so orderly, and refined, has in fact been a revolutionary process from the first. It sets contemporary events, such as the Reagan revolution, in deeper, constitutional perspective and considers fundamental reforms that might resolve them. schovat popis
The Civil Rights Revolution carries Bruce Ackerman's sweeping reinterpretation of constitutional history into the era beginning with Brown v Board of Education. Laws that ended Jim Crow and ensured equal rights at work, in schools, and in the voting booth gained congressional approval only after the American people mobilized their support.
