Holloway, V. (2018). Black Rights in the Reconstruction Era. Rowman & Littlefield

Published in 2018, the article was authored by Vanessa Holloway and Rowman and Littlefield. Vanessa Holloway is a historian and philosopher of political theory, legal history, law and policy, and race and rights. The history of civil rights prior to the twentieth century is scarcely acknowledged by most observers and historians. By tracing the history of black Americans’ civil rights to the post bellum era, the book Black Rights in the Reconstruction Era offers important scholarly attention to the nineteenth-century intellectual ferment—legal and political. This work lends itself to showing that, after liberation, national and local battles for racial equality had led to the embedding of racism in the political system in the American South and the growth of racism as an American institution by revisiting its erroneous underlying history. This work lends itself to showing that, after liberation, national and local battles for racial equality had led to the embedding of racism in the political system in the American South and the growth of racism as an American institution by revisiting its erroneous underlying history. Vanessa Holloway draws on a variety of historical, legal, and philosophical studies, as well as legislative histories, to build a cohesive theory of the law’s relevance to the moment, posing questions about how the nexus of race and politics might be read during Reconstruction.

O’Donnell, M. (2021). Populism, Progressivism and Social Movements in the United States: Sanders, Trump, and Biden. In Crises and Popular Dissent. Emerald Publishing Limited

Published in 2021, the article was authored by O’Donnell. According to the article Crises and Popular Dissent, focuses on liberalism and populism in the United States, Europe, and the United Kingdom, calling for an internationalist rather than a nationalist perspective and response to turbulence. O’Donnell takes a unique, well-informed, and well-integrated perspective to the recent evolution of popular opposition. The paper looks at the broader issues raised by these incidents of dissent suppression. To what extent do the media, if they are bearers of successful, if not hegemonic ideology, silence dissent to apparent disparities and inequality by labeling it as illicit? The parallels between the 1930s and the current crises, according to the article, are more than merely suggestive; they show the systematic ideological manipulation of opposition.
