Liberal States, Authoritarian Families sheds new light on longstanding questions in educational and political philosophy about the relationship between parents and children in a liberal state. Contemporary theorists argue that the family should be democratized to reflect the egalitarian ideals of the liberal state, but Koganzon argues that this desire for "congruence" between familial and state authority was originally illiberal in origin, advanced bytheorists of absolute sovereignty like Bodin and Hobbes. By contrast, early liberals like Locke and Rousseau rejected congruence, denying personal authority in government while reinforcing it within the family. Against the contemporary view that authority is the enemy of liberty, Koganzon shows how familial andpedagogical authority were originally conceived as necessary preservatives for liberty.
Say the words "evangelical worship" to anyone in the United States - even if they are not particularly religious - and a picture will likely spring to mind unbidden: a mass of white middle-class worshippers with eyes closed, faces tilted upward, and hands raised to the sky. Weaving together insights from American religious history and liturgical studies, and drawing on extensive fieldwork in seven congregations, Melanie C. Ross brings contemporaryevangelical worship to life. Critics have underestimated evangelical worship, seeing it as little more than a manipulative effort to arouse devotional exhilaration. This book will irrevocably change that interpretation, revealing worship to be the site where congregations forge, argue over, and enact their uniquecontributions to the American mosaic known as evangelicalism.

This book is a philosophical defense of anger at racial injustice. It shows that this type of anger-what author Myisha Cherry calls Lordean rage, honoring Audre Lorde-can inspire us to change the world. For that reason, we should seek to cultivate it, rather than push it down. Crossing the terrain of moral psychology, philosophy, and current affairs, the book shows how anger at racism is an appropriate and even necessary way of valuing others, how anger canmotivate those who are outraged to engage in productive action, and how anger strengthens us to become the heroes that we have been waiting for. Beyond laying out the theory behind her case for rage, Cherry shows racially marginalized people and their allies how to better manage and channel anti-racistanger in order to affect lasting, long-awaited change.
