Enquanto o mundo manifestava-se nas redes sociais e nas ruas após a notícia do assassinato de George Floyd, nos Estados Unidos – um crime de racismo -, uma das autoras deste audiolivro vivia sua própria “inquisição” ao ser questionada pelo filho, um menino negro de pele clara, o que ela, enquanto mulher branca, tinha feito para que Zumbi dos Palmares não fosse também assassinado. Essa interpelação aconteceu em maio de 2020, quando esta autora lia, para seu filho, o livro Amoras, do rapper e escritor Emicida, e em uma das páginas Zumbi aparece com uma fala potente: “Não foi em vão!”

A Delicate Balance of Reason is an observational critique of the contemporary 'culture wars' through the eyes of someone who has experienced the full weight of their effects firsthand. Flashpoint topics such as the trans debate, academic free speech, cancel culture and 'presentism' in art and literature are all covered; elsewhere there are more gonzo-esque, snapshot takes - caught, tidied up, and delivered with algorithmic immediacy.

Auf intensive, liebevolle und poetische Weise beschreibt die Soziologin Tanja Bogusz ihr Aufwachsen auf St. Pauli. Sie erzählt von ihrer Großmutter Klasina, die aus den Niederlanden nach Deutschland kam und Damenringkämpferin in der Großen Freiheit in Hamburg wurde. Und von ihrer Mutter Barbara, die aus dem Kinderheim vor den gewalttätigen Aufseherinnen zu Klasina auf den Kiez flüchtete und in den 70er-Jahren begann, als Barfrau im Hotel Luxor zu arbeiten.

The book is, in Wells' words, a "scheme to thrust forward and establish a human control over the destinies of life and liberate it from its present dangers, uncertainties and miseries. It proposes that largely as the result of scientific progress, a common vision of a world 'politically, socially and economically unified' is emerging among educated and influential people, and that this can be the basis of 'a world revolution aiming at universal peace, welfare and happy activity' that can result in the establishment of a 'world commonwealth'."

Since the publication of Le Bons’ book, The Crowd, little has been added to our knowledge of the mechanisms of crowd behavior. As a practical problem, the habit of crowd-making is daily becoming a more serious menace to civilization. Events are making it more and more clear that, pressing as are certain economic questions, the forces which threaten society are really psychological.

In the design of this book, three primary themes interlace and pursue and develop each other. There is first, that invention and science have completely altered the material environment of human life. Next, that the disruptive driving force of an excess of bored and unemployed young men, which must in some manner find relief, will probably shatter human life altogether under the new conditions. And thirdly, that the existing mental organization of our species is entirely insufficient to control the present situation, which nevertheless might, with an adequate effort, be controlled.

In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth. When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was “What is the truth in this situation?” Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want. We have lost touch with the importance of truth in our lives. This reality has resulted in a society in abject turmoil and confusion.

En dépit des bouleversements psychologiques et sociaux qu'il exige, cet ouvrage ne veut que proposer la solution de bon sens au problème de la place des Noirs dans la société américaine. Malgré le ton parfois menaçant, malgré la satire souvent mordante, La prochaine fois, le feu est avant tout un appel à la modération, une ultime tentative de compromis (en 1963) entre les extrémistes des deux bords aveuglés par la passion.
