Critique and Praxis advocates for a new path forward that constantly challenges each and every one of us to ask what more we can do to realize a society based on equality and justice. Joining his decades of activism, social-justice litigation, and political engagement with his years of critical theory and philosophical work, Bernard E. Harcourt has written a magnum opus.

The Making of Status Hierarchies in an Elite Profession
How One Hundred Years of Solitude Was Written and Became a Global Classic
Álvaro Santana-Acuña follows the path of One Hundred Years of Solitude in more than seventy countries on five continents and explains how thousands of people and organizations have helped it to become a global classic. Shedding new light on the novel’s imagination, production, and reception, Ascent to Glory is an eyeopening book for cultural sociologists and literary historians as well as for fans of Gabriel García Márquez and One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Doctors’ Orders offers a groundbreaking examination of the construction and consequences of status distinctions between physicians before, during, and after residency training. Tania M. Jenkins spent years observing and interviewing American, international, and osteopathic medical residents in two hospitals to reveal the unspoken mechanisms that are taken for granted and that lead to hierarchies among supposed equals.
