Восстание масс Хосе Ортега-и-Гассет
ISBN: 978-5-17-099395-6 Год издания: 2016 Издательство: АСТ Язык: Русский «Восстание масс» – культовая книга Х. Ортега-и-Гассета, принесшая ему всемирную славу. В ней он впервые в западной философии изложил основные принципы устройства так называемого массового общества, где каждый отдельный человек – статист, предпочитающий «плыть по течению» и не несущий ни за что ответственности. А западное общество ХХ века, по мнению автора, разделено не на классы или социальные группы, а на определенные типы людей – представителей аристократии и «массы», которые постепенно захватывают власть. Этот феномен – захват массами власти – Ортега-и-Гассет называет «восстанием масс».

The Outsider Richard Wright
Год издания: 1965 Издательство: Perennial Library Язык: Английский The Outsider is a novel by American author Richard Wright, first published in 1953. The Outsider is Richard Wright's second installment in a story of epic proportions, a complex master narrative to show American racism in raw and ugly terms. The kind of racism that Wright knew and experienced, a racism from which most black people of his own time could not escape, remained the central element in his fiction. The Outsider appeared during the height of McCarthyism in the United States and the advent of the Cold War in Europe, two events which had a significant bearing on its initial reception. -

The Mask of Anarchy: The Destruction of Liberia and the Religious Dimension of an African Civil War Stephen Ellis
ISBN: 978-0814722381 Год издания: 2006 Издательство: New York University Press Liberia has been one of Africa’s most violent trouble spots. In 1990, when thousands of teenage fighters, including young men wearing women’s clothing and bizarre objects of decoration, laid siege to the capital, the world took notice.

Eschewing popular stereotypes and simple explanations, Stephen Ellis traces the history of the civil war that has blighted Liberia in recent years and looks at its political, ethnic and cultural roots.

Polish Society Under German Occupation: The Generalgouvernement, 1939-1944 Jan Tomasz Gross
ISBN: 978-0691093819 Год издания: 1979 Издательство: Princeton University Press By combining historical and political analysis with a sophisticated sociological approach, Jan Gross offers a new interpretation of the German occupation of Poland during World War II. Based on his hypothesis that a society cannot be destroyed by coercion short of the physical annihilation of its members, his work has a twofold aim: to examine the model of German occupation in theory and in practice, and to identify the patterns of collective behavior that emerged among the Polish people in response to the social control exercised over them. The author argues that when an occupier provides no institutions through which a local population…
