Story
Mathieu vit dans la rue. Il l’a choisi. Ce n’est pas un aventurier, et ça n’a rien à voir avec la liberté. Est-ce qu’il s’autodétruit? Est-ce ainsi qu’il se préserve? Peu importe. Sa chienne Sam est là, qui l’aide à continuer. Mais quand elle disparaît, Mathieu doit mettre fin à son errance. Pour la retrouver, il entreprend un voyage dont les bifurcations le ramènent au secret de son passé.

Story
Hvorfor er middelklassen så bange for underklassen, at der opstilles snubletråde og barrierer for social mobilitet? Det og meget mere undersøger Preben Brandt sammen med Nalle Kirkvåg i TALK 3. Brandt har, som psykiatrisk socialoverlæge i Københavns Kommune, haft et langt og begivenhedsrigt liv med hjemløse, sutter, alkoholikere og andet godtfolk. Men har også selv taget en lang og utrolig rejse fra nærmest ufatteligfattigdom og til førnævnte middelklasse. Men hvor trangen til at træde på dem allernederst i hierarkiet, kommer fra, undrer Preben og Nalle sig over i dagens Talk.

Story
In Separate and Unequal, historian Steven M. Gillon offers a revelatory new history of the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders - popularly known as the Kerner Commission. Convened by President Lyndon Johnson after riots in Newark and Detroit left dozens dead and thousands injured, the commission issued a report in 1968 that attributed the unrest to "white racism" and called for aggressive new programs to end discrimination and poverty.

Story
Appalachia has played a complex and often contradictory role in the unfolding of American history. Created by urban journalists in the years following the Civil War, the idea of Appalachia provided a counterpoint to emerging definitions of progress. Early 20th-century critics of modernity saw the region as a remnant of frontier life, a reflection of simpler times that should be preserved and protected.

In keinem anderen Land Lateinamerikas haben so wenige Frauen Zugang zu medizinischen Einrichtungen wie in Guatemala. Die staatliche Gesundheitsversorgung reicht längst nicht aus. Private Krankenhäuser sind meist zu teuer. Schwangerschaften sind deshalb mit extremen Risiken verbunden. Vielen Schwangeren bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als sich auf das Wissen der Heiler der Mayamedizin und der Comadronas, der traditionellen Geburtshelferinnen, zu verlassen.

Story
Many believe that the War on Poverty, launched by President Johnson in 1964, ended in failure. In 2010, the official poverty rate was 15 percent, almost as high as when the War on Poverty was declared. Historical and contemporary accounts often portray the War on Poverty as a costly experiment that created doubts about the ability of public policies to address complex social problems. Legacies of the War on Poverty, drawing from fifty years of empirical evidence, documents that this popular view is too negative.

White Americans have long been comfortable in the assumption that they are the cultural norm. Now that notion is being challenged, as white people wrestle with what it means to be part of a fast-changing, truly multicultural nation. Facing chronic economic insecurity, a popular culture that reflects the nation’s diverse cultural reality, a future in which they will no longer constitute the majority of the population, and with a Black president in the White House, whites are growing anxious.

Story
Since the early days of the American republic, political thinkers have maintained that a grossly unequal division of property, wealth, and power would lead to the erosion of democratic life. Yet over the past thirty-five years, neoconservatives and neoliberals alike have redrawn the tenets of American liberalism. Nowhere is this more evident than in our current mainstream political discourse, in which the politics of economic inequality are rarely discussed.

Ein bahnbrechender Bestseller. Weltweit mehr als 1,8 Millionen verkaufte Exemplare. Menschen in Armut sehen sich Herausforderungen gegenüber, die den Menschen der Mittelschicht oder der Oberschicht praktisch unbekannt sind. Die Realität, arm zu sein, bringt eine Überlebensmentalität hervor und lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit von den Möglichkeiten ab, die von allen anderen als gegeben angesehen werden. Wenn Sie mit Menschen in Armut zusammenarbeiten, wird es von unschätzbarem Wert sein, zu verstehen, wie sehr sich ihre Welt von Ihrer unterscheidet.
