The Winds of Change novel series views the peopling of the Americas primarily from research over the last 15 years. The series takes the "what if" perspective.

Zealotry and Academic Freedom: A Legal and Historical Perspective
by Neil HamiltonZealotry and Academic Freedom began with the author's personal experience with suppression of academic speech and obstacles to the pursuit of academic quality. Using his own tumultuous experience as a starting point, Hamilton explores how significant efforts to create an autonomous space for academic speech within the university over the past 125 years have been thwarted.Hamilton charges that a fundamentalist academic left in some humanities and social science faculties views the exercise of standards of academic quality and merit-based performance evaluations as tools of oppression and bigotry. Academic zealots ferret out and oppose hidden structures of so-called oppression in our "Eurocentric" culture. Any faculty member overtly supporting academic quality is thus suspected of bigotry and subject to investigations.The opening portion of the book locates similarities with the religious fundamentalism of the nineteenth century in waves of zealotry in American higher education. The first part covers student activism in the 1960s through the emergence of a radical academic left in the early 1990s. The second part examines the meaning of academic freedom and the protection of expression that should be secured. The third and final portion shows how targets of the coercive tactics of the zealots in any period of zealotry can, and have been effectively rebuked, and ultimately overcome.Neil Hamilton's book will generate controversy, particularly the chapters that inquire into the current wave of academic suppression. Hamilton warns that "history instructs that it can happen here." This candid look into the politics of higher education will be gripping reading for all those concerned with the future of education: professors, administrators, students, and parents. There has been a growing literature on this subject, but none cover the legal-political aspects of political correctness with such precision.

Zehou Li and the Aesthetics of Educational Maturity: A Transcultural Reading (New Directions in the Philosophy of Education)
by Flora Liuying WeiThis book articulates a unique conception of aesthetic educational philosophy and its relation to the Chinese world, drawing on the works of the prominent contemporary Chinese philosopher Zehou Li. The book outlines an aesthetics approach to educational maturity that recognises both the contributions of Western Enlightenment ideals and Chinese traditions, paving the way for an inclusive and post-comparative philosophy. It offers a nuanced discussion of Zehou Li’s thought and how his work can be framed at the border between traditional and modern China, between China and the West. The book combines a discussion of aesthetics with educational theory and considers their combined implications for educational practice (in particular in the first-person perspectives of students, parents, and teachers), in both local and global contexts. Providing a way of doing philosophy of education that carefully considers interactions and overlaps between Western and Chinese civilisation, the book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of educational philosophy, educational theory, Chinese and cross-cultural philosophy.

Zeit in der Bildung zwischen Anthropozentrik und Verzweckung von Wissen: Eine Analyse historischer, bildungstheoretischer und soziökonomischer Entwicklung
by Josefine Gobl-KralovicsZeit als unverzichtbare Bedingung für personale Bildungsprozesse wird heute durch sogenannte effiziente, ökonomisch orientierte Beschleunigungskonzepte, als strategische Klammer der Verzweckung von Wissen instrumentalisiert. Selbstbestimmte Bildung im Rahmen adäquater Zeithorizonte gerät immer mehr in Gefahr verstellt zu werden. Josefine Gobl-Kralovics zeigt anhand dieser kritische Situation, auch mittels Einbeziehung und Analyse des Begriffs Anthropozentrik pädagogisch beleuchtet, die Beschleunigung im Widerspruch zur Bildungsaufgabe des Menschen auf, genauso wie drohende Entfremdung als Folge von Fremdbestimmung. Beschleunigung avancierte zum Lebenstempo – Muße scheint dagegen obsolet.
