Description

Keeping Watch is a collection of short, concise, and clearly written journalistic essays about American myths, realities, social and political issues, and educational shortcomings. The book also offers visions for change and dwells upon possibilities along with liabilities. The articles are grouped into three sections...culture, education, and politics and society. A common thread running through all is the vast and growing discrepancies between wealth and poverty, between reason and fairness as opposed to illogic and greed, and between enlightenment and ignorance. The author, an unabashed liberal, believes that liberalism itself has been nationally discredited and that an oligarchy rules America masquerading as a democracy. The essays are a powerful reminder of our ability to overlook obvious shortcomings in society and politics while inertia and selfishness rule the day. For example, the author shines the light on America's infatuation with guns, America as the major arms dealer in the world, America as the world's leader in environmental resources depletion, America's position as the world's leader in putting people in prison (now two million), and so on. Keeping Watch is not, however, just a tirade on what's wrong; Cummins also offers exciting visions of what could be, of hope, of possibilities. His educational visions, for example, are not only idealistic, they have roots in schools and programs that work. Many readers of these articles say, "They are inspirational."
