Sweet Dreams in America: Making Ethics and S… di Sharon D. Welch

Welch challenges educators and cultural workers to rethink the foundations of moral action in order to foster new methods of social change that will lead to social justice. Sweet Dreams is a lyrical and moving account of the pressing philosophical, moral, and political issues now confronting us. Grounded in affirmation of life and a rejection of cynical reason, the book offers a powerful story of hope.

But I don't think I was the audience for this book, and I'm honestly not quite sure who is.
