Free Download John Wayne and Ideology By Larry A. Van Meter; Larry A Van Meter
2014 | 101 Pages | ISBN: 1443859052 | PDF | 1 MB
John Wayne and Ideology is an examination of John Wayne's legacy as a political force. It is no exaggeration to say that, playing the lead in over 150 movies, he is one of the most popular actors in the history of cinema. This book argues that his enduring popularity is historically mediated. Certainly an A-list actor before and during World War II, John Wayne nevertheless did not become an icon until after the war, when, because of the war and emerging calls for women's and minorities' rights, white masculinity anxieties spiked. The American political reaction to this new world was a radical shift to the right, with John Wayne and Ronald Reagan embodying that change. The racist, misogynous, and homophobic films of John Wayne, still hugely popular, bear witness to that right turn. Moreover, that legacy continues, with generations of "Johns Wayne"-such as, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and post-9/11 superheroes-desperately trying to recenter white American masculinity.

Free Download John Rawls and Christian Social Engagement : Justice As Unfairness By Greg Forster; Karen Taliaferro; Anthony B. Bradley; Matthew Arbo; Hunter Baker; Jerome C. Foss; Daniel Kelly; Joseph Knippenberg; Bryan McGraw; Matthew Parks
2014 | 194 Pages | ISBN: 1498504949 | EPUB | 1 MB
This book critiques the Rawlsian concepts of "justice as fairness" and "public reason" from the perspective of Christian political theory and practice. The Rawlsian paradigm has become pervasive in multiple disciplines outside political philosophy and is unconsciously embedded in a great deal of Christian public discourse; this calls for a new level of analysis from Christian perspectives. This is the first volume to examine Rawls based on Christian principles drawn from theological ethics, social thought, political theory and practical observation. In addition to theoretical perspectives, the book connects its critique of Rawls to specific hot-topic practical questions in three areas: social issues (abortion, marriage, etc.), economic issues (wealth creation, poverty programs, etc.), and the increasing difficulty of political compromise and peaceful coexistence in the context of the culture war. The book includes some of the leading Christian political theorists in America.
