That Book Is Dangerous!
An alarming exposé of the new challenges to literary freedom in the age of social media—when anyone with an identity and an internet connection can be a censor. In That Book Is Dangerous!, Adam Szetela investigates how well-intentioned and often successful efforts to diversify American literature have also produced serious problems for literary freedom. Although progressives are correct to be focused on right-wing attempts at legislative censorship, Szetela argues for attention to the ways that left-wing censorship controls speech within the publishing industry itself. The author draws on interviews with presidents and vice presidents at the Big Five publishers, literary agents at the mos...
The Canceling of the American Mind
A “galvanizing” (The Wall Street Journal) deep dive into cancel culture and its dangers to all Americans from the team that brought you Coddling of the American Mind. Cancel culture is a new phenomenon, and The Canceling of the American Mind is the first book to codify it and survey its effects, including hard data and research on what cancel culture is and how it works, along with hundreds of new examples showing the left and right both working to silence their enemies. The Canceling of the American Mind changes how you view cancel culture. Rather than a moral panic, we should consider it a dysfunctional part of how Americans battle for power, status, and dominance. Cancel culture is ju...

Ethnographier les gangs
Les gangs occupent une place de choix dans les médias ou dans les discours politiques de nombre de pays d'Amérique latine. On les accable de maux et parfois même de déstructurer l'ensemble de leur société. Pourtant, ces regroupements demeurent assez mal connus. En effet, les données et statistiques officielles, les analyses médiatiques ou même les études en criminologie ne rendent pas compte de l'hétérogénéité et des évolutions sur le court et long terme des maras, pandillas et autres gangs latino-américains. L'ethnographie peut ici s'avérer utile. Contrairement à l'idée souvent avancée que la violence extrême rendrait impossible toute approche de ce type, depuis le début des années 1990, des chercheurs ont pu enquêter en immersion dans ces gangs. Ils présentent dans ce numéro de Cultures & Conflits leurs principaux résultats ainsi que leur réflexion sur une méthode qui constitue l'une des plus fines pour appréhender la réalité quotidienne comme les transformations de ces groupes dans le temps.

Widgets: The 12 New Rules for Managing Your Employees as if They're Real People
New York Times bestselling author Rodd Wagner tackles one of the most destructive problems facing organizations today–the breakdown of the relationship between employees and the organizations they work for "Your people are not your greatest asset. They're not yours, and they're not assets." With this declaration, one of the leading authorities on employee performance rolls up his sleeves against the weasel words, contradictions, bad habits, and intrusions that reduce people to "human resources." To "FTEs." To "human capital." To flesh-and-blood widgets. Armed with empirical evidence from the provocative studies he leads around the globe, Wagner guides you through the new realities of what it takes to get the highest levels of intensity from people in a more mercenary, skeptical, and wired work world. He explains how elements such as individualization, fearlessness, transparency, recognition, and coolness are reciprocated with loyalty, productivity, innovation, and--inescapably--corporate reputation.
ReCulturing: Design Your Company Culture to Connect with Strategy and Purpose for Lasting Success
Leverage the power of systems thinking to clarify your purpose, build your strategy, and design your culture. It’s no secret that culture is key to attracting and engaging top talent. But the vast majority of culture efforts fail as quickly as they started. Why? Because leaders are creating and communicating organizational values, but they’re failing to connect those values to their behaviors, processes, and practices of the organization. ReCulturing is the playbook for building a business in which employees are clear on the why, what, and how they are working. ReCulturing is not a one-time change effort because culture is not something we ultimately have, but rather something we do. One...
The Quick Fix
An investigative journalist exposes the many holes in today's bestselling behavioral science, and argues that the trendy, TED-Talk-friendly psychological interventions that are so in vogue at the moment will never be enough to truly address social injustice and inequality. With their viral TED talks, bestselling books, and counter-intuitive remedies for complicated problems, psychologists and other social scientists have become the reigning thinkers of our time. Grit and "power posing" promised to help overcome entrenched inequalities in schools and the workplace; the Army spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a positive psychology intervention geared at preventing PTSD in its combat sold...
