Selling Politics

Accompanies the TV series We Have Ways Of Making You Think

Selling Politics investigates the secret world of political consultants, the men who create an image of their clients for the public eye. Author Laurence Rees argues that the roots of political propaganda lie in Nazi Germany with Hitler’s master of visual propaganda, Dr Josef Goebbels. Goebbels’ passion for cinema led him to discover the ‘Great Truth’, namely that in order for film propaganda to persuade it must entertain rather than inform. Over the past thirty years the use of film and television propaganda had flourished, particularly in the United States where a candidate’s ability to woo voters on the screen is fundamental to his success in a presidential election. Rees shows how television manipulates its viewers into making judgements based purely on the visual image and explains why propaganda works best when it engages the emotions rather than the intellect. We see clearly how these insidious techniques have also played a key role in contemporary British politics as consultants have followed the example of their American counterparts. Written in1992, a year that encompassed a general election in Britain and a presidential election in the United States, Selling Politics is a book for our times. It will fascinate readers who care about the practice of politics and the way democracy functions as the 21st century approaches.

Politics of Parousia

Reading Mark Inter(Con)Textually

Informed by postmodern theory, postcolonial inquiry, and Asian American studies, this volume probes the relationship between Mark's apocalyptic and colonial politics, and calls attention to both the anti-colonial and neo-colonial elements within Mark's representations of authority, agency, and gender.

See, for example, Ched Myers; and Herman C. Waetjen, Reordering of Power. As
Vincent Leitch (xii) points out, even in the heyday of formalism within the broader
circle of literary studies, other voices and practices still persisted, although often
in diminished scope. 1 While I generally agree with Brueggemann's observations
, I think his understanding of the relationship between biblical interpretations and
the larger socio- cultural and intellectual trends is too one-dimensional or ...

The Politics of Second Generation Discrimination in American Indian Education

Incidence, Explanation, and Mitigating Strategies

Academic grouping techniques are often subtle methods of discrimination that allow schools to sort students into homogenous groups. Findings indicate that American Indian students are overrepresented in lower-ability special education classes and in suspensions. Conversely, American Indian students are underrepresented in gifted classes and in graduations. A model, including American Indian representation, education, and income, as well as school district size, explains the amount of second generation discrimination faced by American Indian students. School districts that have greater American Indian political power have greater political representation on the school board and hence greater representation in school administration and in classrooms. The most important and consistent factor limiting the amount of second generation discrimination that American Indian students experience is the presence of American Indian teachers.

critics of academic grouping is Robert Slavin. His meta-analysis of numerous
studies on ability grouping found that such grouping has no positive effects on
academic achievement (Slavin 1987, 1988). This finding is reinforced by other
