“This astonishing compendium is a valuable corrective to parochial conceptions of the ‘black radical tradition’” Paul Gilroy, Emeritus Professor, University College London“A wonderfully lucid introduction” Catherine Hall, Chair of the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery, University College LondonRed and Black in Harlem and Jamaica offers the first complete account of the life and work of Wilfred Adolphus Domingo (1889-1968), one of the most significant West Indian anti-colonialists of the twentieth century, who was active in New York in the radical politics of the New Negro movement before committing himself to the struggle for Jamaican independence.When W. A. Domingo died, the Jamaican ex-premier Norman Manley wrote that “no one in the world made greater sacrifices or suffered more for the cause he believed in—the cause of freedom for Jamaica and our escape from the bonds and fetters of British Imperialism.” Despite this claim, Domingo has remained a shadowy figure. This book brings him, at last, into the foreground of anti-colonial struggle in the Caribbean.Through a generous selection of Domingo’s writings from various stages of his life, the book illuminates his ideological tenets and political commitments, while the introductory material contains new biographical information that sheds light on Domingo’s early years as well as on his relationships with Marcus Garvey and the Communist movement.W. A. Domingo was born and raised in Jamaica before moving to the USA in 1910. A Jamaican nationalist, socialist, and committed internationalist, he was part of an influential community of West Indian radicals active in Harlem’s New Negro movement in the early 20th century. Peter Hulme is Emeritus Professor in Literature, University of Essex, and the author or editor of numerous books. Leslie James is Senior Lecturer in Global History at Queen Mary University London. She is the author of George Padmore and Decolonization from Below.Introduction: A Dedicated ManPart 1. A New Day: Harlem 1917-1935Part 2. Seeking Freedom: Jamaica 1936-1947Part 3. Securing Independence: New York, 1948–1964Conclusion: A Man of ConvictionList of W. A. Domingo's writingsIndex

‘Extraordinary ... The New Racial Regime works from an archival foundation of Black and Indigenous, liberationist and anti-colonialist thinkers, honing analytical tools that make sense of the ongoing racial reconstructionist moment’ Dylan Rodríguez, author of White Reconstruction‘Accessible, rigorous, and unequivocal, The New Racial Regime is the principled treatise we sorely need’ Charisse Burden-Stelly, author of Black Scare/Red ScareIn the words of Robin D.G. Kelley, ‘anti-wokeness is the perfect example of the functioning of the racial regime.’ Taking the reader beyond the distracting framings of culture wars and moral panics, Alana Lentin shows how the attacks on Black, Indigenous and anticolonial thought and praxis reveal the processes through which racial colonial rule is ideologically resecured.The often chaotic and contradictory restitching of the racial regime is traced through the attacks on Critical Race Theory; the ‘whitelash’ against the teaching of histories of slavery and colonialism; the counterinsurgent capture and institutionalisation of antiracism, Indigeneity and decoloniality in the interests of Zionism, settler colonialism, and imperialism; and the ways that the state mandated ‘war on antisemitism’ reforms white supremacism in a time of genocide. While the racial regime undergoes constant recalibration, its inherent instability is the consequence of continual resistance from below. Maintaining and deepening that resistance is vital at a time of rapidly mounting fascism.Alana Lentin is the author of Why Race Still Matters.Prologue and AcknowledgementsForeword by Elizabeth Peters RobinsonIntroduction: Stitching the New Racial Regime1.

‘Reveals the causes and consequences behind the explosion of migrant care work. A remarkable contribution from one of the leading social scientists of gender, care and migration in Europe’ Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, Princeton University‘A tour-de-force distillation of radical social thought on domestic labour grounded in critiques of global capitalism’ Heidi Gottfried, co-editor of Global Labor MigrationWhat is it like to care for another family, while yours remains in a different country? In today’s capitalist society, migrant women performing care work in private households experience the painful tension of caring for both, often under precarious conditions.Characterised as the ‘backstage’ family, the carer’s remote relationship with their loved ones at home is often purely digital, with the double dilemmas of migrant motherhood and stay-behind fathers – exposing the pitfalls of transnational employment relations and the growth of social inequality.Here, Helma Lutz explores the debates around this issue, focusing on carers from Eastern Europe working in the West. She unpacks questions around feminist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of emotional labour, exploring how gender justice and the search for socialist feminist utopias can shape how we see a future – not only for the improvement of the carers’ working and living conditions but also for a new way of dealing with care work.Helma Lutz is a sociologist and Professor Emerita of Women’s and Gender Studies at Goethe University Frankfurt. For many years she was the Acting Director of the Cornelia Goethe Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies. She is the author of The New Maids: Transnational Women and the Care Economy.Foreword 1. Uncaring Care-Economies 2. On the Road: The Supply Chain of Care Workers Between Germany and Central and East European Countries 3.

Praise for Curationism: “Balzer writes with zest, scepticism and sly humour” Sheila Heti, author of Pure ColourWhat does it mean to call something “new”? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change?In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artefacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it. The culture industry promises its own form of change while preserving existing systems of power exactly as they are.From the New Jerusalem to the New Left, from Vannevar Bush to Kate Bush, This is Not New asks difficult questions about the role of culture not in making change, but in delaying—even preventing—it. David Balzer is a writer, lawyer, editor, and educator. He is the author of Contrivances and Curationism: How Curating Took Over the Art World and Everything Else. His critical writing has appeared in the Globe and Mail, the Guardian, Artforum, and Frieze. He lives in Canada.PrefacePrologue: Some Radicals1. Culture Industry, Culture Wars2.

“The history of San Francisco I’ve been waiting for”—Sean Burns, writer and filmmaker“A dissenter’s guidebook”—Peter Booth Wiley, publisher and author of The National Trust Guide to San Francisco“Scores of sparkling vignettes—from Mission Rock to the Haight, Balmy Alley to Telegraph Hill—illuminate the city with the torch of social criticism and the sharp lens of a local sage”—Richard Walker, author of Pictures of a Gone CitySan Francisco is an iconic city. But beyond the picture postcards of the Golden Gate Bridge, the city’s most interesting and radical history is waiting to be uncovered.Hidden San Francisco is a guidebook like no other. Structured around the four major themes of ecology, labor, transit, and dissent, Chris Carlsson peels back the layers of the city’s history to reveal a storied past: behind old walls and gleaming glass facades lurk former industries, secret music and poetry venues, forgotten terrorist bombings, and much more. Carlsson also delves into the Bay Area’s long prehistory, examining the lives of its indigenous inhabitants before the 1849 Gold Rush changed everything.This second edition includes new tours on the wild and natural parts of San Francisco that most tourists never visit, from Glen Canyon to Sutro Forest. There is also a new introduction examining the impact of the pandemic, as well as a mini-history of tech in the city, from the Gold Rush to AI.Chris Carlsson is a San Francisco historian and award-winning tour guide. He directs “Shaping San Francisco”—an impressive archive of local history, and co-founded the urban cycling movement Critical Mass. He is the author of four books. He has lived in San Francisco since 1978.Acknowledgments Preface Introduction to the Second Edition 1. Openers 2. Turning Shorelines, Wetlands, Creeks, Sand, and Hills into a City 3.

‘An unimpeachable, erudite jewel of a book on the politics of memorialisation. This beautifully written reckoning with history shines a clear light on how far and how tenaciously the shadows of colonialism reach into our lives in the present moment. A necessary and vital piece of work’ Neel Mukherjee, Booker Prize shortlisted author of The Lives of Others‘Compulsively readable. Rather than a superficial skirmish in the culture wars, the struggle over statues is about how we live with and relate to one another, and the fight over equality and dignity in the present’ Laleh Khalili, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter‘A powerfully grounded and eminently thoughtful contribution to debates around race, caste, class and historical memory. At once considered and stimulating, Rao’s account of how we grapple with the imperial past and present will stay standing even as statues rise and fall over the coming decades’ Priyamvada Gopal, Professor of Postcolonial Studies, University of CambridgeStatues around the world have become lightning rods for public debates over the meaning of our imperial past and postcolonial present. The Psychic Lives of Statues is an insightful exploration of these global controversies, demonstrating that beneath their surface lie deeper struggles over race, caste and the politics of decolonisation.Rahul Rao takes readers on an international journey, revealing how these controversies have dramatically rearranged anticolonial political thought through the multifaceted lenses of justice, cultural memory and belonging.The Psychic Lives of Statues explores both the toppling of colonial statues and the erection of postcolonial ones, illuminating how statues remain powerful and compelling forms of memorialisation. Engaging with artists, scholars and activists, Rao offers a fresh and exciting perspective on how we understand our past and present through iconography.Rahul Rao is a Reader in International Political Thought in the School of International Relations at the University of St Andrews, and Professorial Research Associate at SOAS University of London.

“In its vivid close-ups of the diverse and dynamic communities for whom Palestine was home, Naseej offers both a heart-breaking account of what colonists have cost the world, and a hopeful template for the future. This is the book that is Palestine.” Ahdaf Soueif, novelist “A remarkable book of creative personal essays, poems, and scholarly investigations that illuminate the wondrous tapestry that was Palestine before the Zionists imposed their vision of exclusionary ethnonationalism and racialized rule. This book reveals how a land could be called home by diverse people and communities of tangled origins, living side by side as neighbors and kin. As Palestinians.” Lila Abu-Lughod, author of Do Muslim Women Need Saving?Naseej, meaning “tapestry” in Arabic, is a book about the diversity and beauty of community, history, and continuity in Palestine. It compiles essays, short stories, poetry, interviews, and visual art to tell the story of how the vast web of Palestinian histories has been severed from its roots.Palestine has always been a precious patchwork of languages, ethnicities, cultures, religions, and practices, weaved into the fabric of an Arab and Islamic civilization that was a culmination of centuries of interchange and experimentation.Arriving at a moment of utter devastation, this collection celebrates life in Palestine. From the trajectories of Romani groups to religious communities like Druze and Ahmadiyya Muslims, to the political experience of Black Palestinians, Naseej asks what kind of threads remain of this tapestry after some 150 years of colonialism.Arpan Roy is an anthropologist researching in Palestine and the region. He is the author of Relative Strangers: Romani Kinship and Palestinian Difference. Noura Salahaldeen is an anthropologist from Jerusalem. She researches the Palestinian African community in Palestine and Jordan. She is based in Jerusalem and Austria.Introduction, by the editors Beginnings 1.

It compiles essays, short stories, poetry, interviews, and visual art to tell the story of how the vast web of Palestinian histories has been severed from its roots.Palestine has always been a precious patchwork of languages, ethnicities, cultures, religions, and practices, weaved into the fabric of an Arab and Islamic civilization that was a culmination of centuries of interchange and experimentation.Arriving at a moment of utter devastation, this collection celebrates life in Palestine. From the trajectories of Romani groups to religious communities like Druze and Ahmadiyya Muslims, to the political experience of Black Palestinians, Naseej asks what kind of threads remain of this tapestry after some 150 years of colonialism.Arpan Roy is an anthropologist researching in Palestine and the region. He is the author of Relative Strangers: Romani Kinship and Palestinian Difference. Noura Salahaldeen is an anthropologist from Jerusalem. She researches the Palestinian African community in Palestine and Jordan. She is based in Jerusalem and Austria.Introduction, by the editors Beginnings 1.

"Important and timely ... Paul Lashmar uses the story of the Drax family's history as enslavers in Barbados as a microcosm of Britain's involvement in the transatlantic slave trade" Laura Trevelyan, journalist and author of A Very British Family"A family story straight out of Game of Thrones ... Old-school investigative reporting married with a fearless historian's eye for the truth. A brilliant book that anyone still trying to defend Britain's colonial history in the Caribbean will choke on" Alex Renton, author of Blood Legacy"A timely retelling of the story of how one Englishman led the introduction of sugar and racial slavery to the Caribbean, as well as an eye-opening exploration of how the vast resulting profits were consolidated and enjoyed by generations of his descendants" Matthew Parker, author of The Sugar Barons"This book is a must-read" Jon Lee Anderson, journalist, The New YorkerSpanning 400 years, Drax of Drax Hall is a story of a plantation owning dynasty that has never been told. It all started when James Drax, one of the first settlers in Barbados in 1627, founded the British sugar industry. His descendants went on to write the book on how to run a slave plantation. For more than two hundred years, the family enslaved up to 330 people at any time and became enormously rich.Today, the bloodline is unbroken, and former Tory MP Richard Drax heads the family from his vast Charborough Estate in Dorset. With physical assets worth at least £150m--not to mention the 621-acre sugar plantation in Barbados--he was the wealthiest landowner in the House of Commons. Today, he remains a hero amongst traditionalists and culture warriors for his refusal to make any public reparations for his family's historical role in slavery.Drax of Drax Hall lifts the lid on a grotesque period of the family's history. Through enclosure at home and enslavement abroad, their exploits expose the ugly realities of colonialism and empire--the legacies of which we have yet to confront.PAUL LASHMAR is an investigative journalist and Reader in Journalism at City St George's, University of London. He has taken an interest in the history of slavery since he developed a Channel 4 series on Britain's slave trade in 1999.

Herbert, Distinguished Lecturer, Hunter College, City University of New YorkIn the years since #MeToo, there has been a fundamental shift in public consciousness about sexual harassment in the workplace. So what are trade unions, whose mission it is to improve the lives of workers, doing to address the issue?Solidarity Betrayed reckons with the labor movement’s failures on sexual harassment. Ana Avendaño draws on decades of organizing experience to provide a compelling insider’s account of trade unions’ complicity, collusion, victim blaming, and lack of perpetrator accountability.Sharing survivors’ stories and examples of how labor leaders and bureaucrats have perpetrated abuse, Avendaño explores how labor laws and practices contribute to the perpetuation of harassment. She concludes with positive examples of what some unions are already doing to address the problem, and offers aspirational recommendations that unions and their allies can adopt to create harassment-free workplaces.Ana Avendaño is the Director of the Equality and Justice Practice Clinic at the City University of New York (CUNY) Law School where she also teaches labor and employment law.

A powerful call to action for all who believe we can create a more democratic and ecological society” Debbie Bookchin, journalist, author, daughter of Murray BookchinHow can we unlock society’s potential to shift the course of the climate crisis? So many of us feel helpless in the face of corporate-fueled environmental destruction. However, Practicing Social Ecology shows that there is an amazing well of untapped power in our communities—we just need to know how to use it. Drawing from her experience of working in democratic ecology movements from the revolution in Rojava to Barcelona’s municipalist movement, Finley shows how to develop assemblies, confederations, study groups, and permaculture projects. Looking to history, she maps out how social ecologists, such as Murray Bookchin, have led inspirational struggles around climate and energy, agriculture and biotechnology, globalization, and economic inequality.

The state is often regarded as an abstract and neutral bureaucratic entity. Against this common sense idea, At the Heart of the State argues that it is also a concrete reality with a morality, embodied in the work of its agents and inscribed in the issues of its time. A political and moral anthropology, this book is the result of a five-year investigation conducted by ten scholars, based in France. It analyses, amongst other topics, the police, the court system, the prison apparatus, the social services and mental health facilities. Combining genealogy and ethnography, its authors show that these state institutions do not simply implement laws, rules and procedures: they mobilise values and affects, judgements and emotions. In other words, they reflect the morality of the state.Series Preface Acknowledgements Can States be Moral?

***Winner of an English PEN Award 2021*** In this sharp intervention, authors Lucí Cavallero and Verónica Gago defiantly develop a feminist understanding of debt, showing its impact on women and members of the LGBTQ+ community and examining the relationship between debt and social reproduction. Exploring the link between financial activity and the rise of conservative forces in Latin America, the book demonstrates that debt is intimately linked to gendered violence and patriarchal notions of the family. Yet, rather than seeing these forces as insurmountable, the authors also show ways in which debt can be resisted, drawing on concrete experiences and practices from Latin America and around the world. Featuring interviews with women in Argentina and Brazil, the book reveals the real-life impact of debt and how it falls mainly on the shoulders of women, from the household to the wider effects of national debt and austerity. However, through discussions around experiences of work, prisons, domestic labour, agriculture, family, abortion and housing, a narrative of resistance emerges.

In a moment of struggle defined by the rollback of the social safety net, the criminalization of migration, and the right-wing clampdown on bodily autonomy, radical networks of care are fighting back.From volunteer rescue boats in the Mediterranean to underground labs preparing gender-affirming hormones, people are reclaiming the means to care for one another in defiance of a system that devalues and exploits the labor of care.Against atomized despair, Pirate Care shows that fighting back isn't only about legal and legislative changes but also about organizing, direct action, and disobedient care.Valeria Graziano is a cultural theorist and organizer researching militant practices of work refusal and repair.

“Sears takes social reproduction feminism and queer Marxism in exciting new directions as he historicizes penetration and orgasms. He expands the concept of alienated labor to all life-making and founds a queer ecology, foregrounding colonized, racialized, and disabled voices” Peter Drucker, author of Warped“Meticulously outlines how capitalism shapes human intimacy. ... A sweeping, original analysis that challenges how we think about sexuality, life-making, and building a better world” Holly Lewis, author of The Politics of Everybody“A compelling argument on the pervasive alienation of capitalist society that truncates and distorts our capacities for creative expression, love, and human flourishing” M. E. O’Brien, author of Family AbolitionOur deeply human drive to shape the world around us and fulfill ourselves through labor is subverted by capitalist alienation, leaving us to find fulfillment elsewhere.As a result, our erotic drives become the central focus for transformation and life-making, but are themselves restricted and fueled by whatever energy is left after completing the monetized or social reproductive work required to survive. This alienation encounters ongoing resistance, as life-making activity can never be fully separated from the person who labors.Eros and Alienation delves into the underexplored relationship between alienated labor and sexuality. Alan Sears explores the ways this alienation frames the processes of gender and sexual formation, showing how the organization of work contributes to the development of a dominant regime of gendered sexualities, defined by a binary gender mapping of desire as heterosexual, homosexual, or bisexual.Alan Sears is Professor of Sociology at Toronto Metropolitan University.

You may not realise it, but you are probably already practicing anarchism in your daily life. From relationships to school, work, art, even the way you organise your time, anarchism can help you find fulfilment, empathy and liberation in the everyday. From the small questions such as 'Why should I steal?' to the big ones like 'how do I love?', Scott Branson shows that anarchism isn’t only something we do when we react to the news, protest or even riot. With practical examples enriched by history and theory, these tips will empower you to break free from the consumerist trappings of our world. Anarchism is not just for white men, but for everyone. In reading this book, you can detach from patriarchal masculinity, norms of family, gender, sexuality, racialisation, individual responsibility and the destruction of our planet, and replace them with ideas of sustainable living, with ties of mutual aid, and the horizon of collective liberation.Introduction 1.

Since 1997, the US Department of Defense has transferred more than $7.2bn in military equipment to law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, the DOD is legally required to make various equipment items available to local police and school police departments, from flashlights and sandbags to grenade launchers and armored vehicles. This militarization has, unsurprisingly, been shown to impact Black communities unjustly and is associated with increased killings by police. No wonder there have been calls to ‘defund the police’ echoing across the streets of America.In Beyond Cop Cities, Joy James and fellow contributors take these calls one step further, highlighting the Stop Cop City movement - one of the most vibrant in the US today. Linking the anti-policing and racial justice movement with radical ecological 'forest defender' activism, the Stop Cop City campaign is a grassroots movement that aims to push back on police militarization by blocking the construction of Atlanta’s Police Public Safety Training Center.Sharp and concise, including the voices of key figures in the movement along with the mother of murdered activist 'Tortuguita' (shot and killed by Georgia police while protesting), this collection of vital and politically sophisticated writings captures a moment in time, demanding a safer, less brutal, future.Acknowledgments Introduction PART I 1.

‘A must-read exposé of one of Britain’s biggest hidden scandals’ Frances Ryan, Guardian journalist and author of Crippled: Austerity and the Demonisation of Disabled People‘This is the definitive proof of how government austerity hasn’t just harmed disabled people, it has killed them’ John McDonnell MPIn the early 2010s, reports began to emerge of deaths linked to a government department. Suicide notes, coroners’ reports, and research by disabled activists pointed to failings within the Department for Work and Pensions – the DWP – the government body responsible for the disability benefits system.As years passed, and austerity tightened its grip, the death toll mounted, and an even more disturbing picture emerged: bureaucracy, politicians, and the private sector had combined over thirty years to reckless, deadly effect.For the last decade, disabled journalist John Pring has meticulously pieced together how the DWP ignored pleas to correct fatal flaws in the social security system and covered up its role in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, of disabled people. Having spent years researching the heartbreaking stories of twelve individuals who died, he describes how their bereaved families have fought for justice and accountability.John Pring is founder and editor of the news agency Disability News Service. He is co-creator of the Deaths by Welfare timeline, and co-editor and specialist advisor on the award-winning Museum of Austerity project. His stories have appeared in the Guardian, Daily Mirror and Private Eye.

Scapegoats, the all work test, and how ill-health became a luxury 5. Periodic purges, Unum and selective use of evidence 6.

'A fascinating book that takes degrowth in new directions' - Jason Hickel, author of Less is More'A must-read for anyone who wants to know the brutal truth of digital colonialism driven by the American empire' - Kohei Saito, author of Slow DownThe world is racing toward an irreversible ecological catastrophe. Environmental science makes clear that humans must reduce total material resource use, requiring a radical redistribution of wealth within and between countries. Yet little attention has been paid to how the digital economy fits into this equation.Michael Kwet, a leading expert on digital colonialism, presents a new paradigm for the digital society. Merging the science of degrowth with a global analysis of the high-tech economy, he argues that digital capitalism and colonialism must be abolished quickly. In Digital Degrowth, Kwet maps out a path to a people’s tech future. He calls for direct action against Silicon Valley, US imperialism and power elites everywhere in order to realize a radically egalitarian digital society that fosters equality in harmony with nature.Introduction1.

‘Eloquent and powerful ... an invaluable collection of forgotten histories. The authors show that colonial conquest was not only about erasing, expropriating, dispossessing, extracting, exploiting, but also looting and trafficking. They make the case for unconditional restitutions and returns’ Françoise Vergès, author of A Programme of Absolute Disorder: Decolonizing the Museum‘Brings much-needed diversity to a debate that has for too long focused on a very few cases mainly seen from a European perspective. A great introduction to the history behind the restitution process’ Felicity Bodenstein, Lecturer, Sorbonne Université‘By focusing on colonial violence, this book not only reminds us of the nature of colonialism itself, but also of the unabated necessity to continue scrutinising museum collections and work towards restitution’ Larissa Förster, Department of European Ethnology, Humboldt-Universität zu BerlinDebates around restitution and decolonising museums continue to rage across the world. Artefacts, effigies and ancestral remains are finally being accurately contextualised and repatriated to their homelands.Fifteen Colonial Thefts amplifies and adds to these discussions, exploring the history of colonial violence in Africa through the prism of fifteen African belongings — all looted at the height of the imperial era and brought to Western museums.Each chapter is accompanied by an original illustration, commissioned especially for the book, from both established and emerging African artists, bringing these stories to life for the reader. With contributors from across the continents of Europe and Africa, including scientists, museum professionals, artists and activists, the book illuminates the collective trauma and loss of cultural, historical and spiritual knowledge that colonial theft engendered.Sela K.

She is Professor of Art and Art History at the University of Lagos. Her works can be found in Yemisi Shyllon Museum, Lagos, and in the homes of many private collectors. Her maternal grandfather was Oba Akenzua II, King of Benin, who ruled from 1933 until 1978.

*Winner of the MEMO Palestine Book Awards 2017*Spanning several decades, Ella Shohat's work has introduced conceptual frameworks that fundamentally challenged conventional understandings of Palestine, Zionism and the Middle East, focusing on the pivotal figure of the Arab-Jew. This book gathers together her most influential political essays, interviews, speeches, testimonies and memoirs, as well as previously unpublished material.Defying the binarist and Eurocentric Arab-versus-Jew rendering of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, Shohat's work has dared to engage with the deeper historical and cultural questions swirling around colonialism, Orientalism and nationalism. Shohat's paradigm-shifting work unpacks such fraught issues as the anomalies of the national/colonial in Zionist discourse; the narrating of Jewish pasts in Muslim spaces; the links and distinctions between the dispossession of the Nakba and the dislocation of Arab-Jews; the traumatic memories triggered by partition and border-crossing; the echoes within Islamophobia of the anti-Semitic figure of 'the Jew'; and the efforts to imagine a possible future inter-communal 'convivencia'.Shohat's transdisciplinary perspective illuminates the cultural politics in and around the Middle East. Juxtaposing texts of various genres written in divergent contexts, the book offers a vivid sense of the author's intellectual journey.List of IllustrationsAcknowledgementsIntroductionPart I: The Question of the Arab-Jew1.

'Equips readers with the information they need to resist the lies that feed humanity's urge to commit suicide. Read it!' Yanis Varoufakis, economist and politician'Devastating testimony. Faultless research. It's impossible to exaggerate the timeliness of this powerfully written book' Peter Oborne, journalist and broadcaster'The importance of this book cannot be overstated' Mary Nazzal, barrister and legal activistWe are seeing injustices caused by war and occupation unfold in real-time via social media, and we are speaking out in our millions against these horrors. Yet, from Gaza to Ukraine, the bombs continue to fall. We must understand why this is happening if we are to end it.Monstrous Anger of the Guns lays bare the dark and deceitful world of the global arms trade, which, often funded in our name, is a business that counts its profits in billions and its losses in human lives. Leading activists and campaigners connect the dots, showing how notions of citizenship, democracy and trust in governments are misguided, and how we can fight back by building mass movements, using direct action and legal justice to end the flow of weapons and the environmental and human devastation they bring.Rhona Michie is a Director at Shadow World Investigations, co-founder of the Corruption Tracker, and is a member of the Steering Committee of Campaign Against Arms Trade. Andrew Feinstein is Executive Director of Shadow World Investigations and author of The Shadow World, which was adapted into a prize-winning documentary.

Leading activists and campaigners connect the dots, showing how notions of citizenship, democracy and trust in governments are misguided, and how we can fight back by building mass movements, using direct action and legal justice to end the flow of weapons and the environmental and human devastation they bring.Rhona Michie is a Director at Shadow World Investigations, co-founder of the Corruption Tracker, and is a member of the Steering Committee of Campaign Against Arms Trade. Andrew Feinstein is Executive Director of Shadow World Investigations and author of The Shadow World, which was adapted into a prize-winning documentary. Paul Rogers is Emeritus Professor at Bradford University and author of Losing Control. Jeremy Corbyn is a socialist MP, and founder and director of the Peace and Justice Project. He was twice elected leader of the Labour Party. He is a lifelong campaigner for peace, justice and human rights.Preface by Jeremy Corbyn (Peace and Justice Project) Introduction by Andrew Feinstein (Shadow World Investigations), Rhona Michie (Shadow World Investigations and the Corruption Tracker), and Paul Rogers (University of Bradford and openDemocracy) Part I: The Global Arms Trade 1.

“Outstanding ... A rich, hopeful, and indispensable guide [that] shows us how the world could be borderless, flourishing, free”—Luke de Noronha, co-author, Against Borders: The Case For Abolition“Groundbreaking. This is learning at its most powerful, reframing thinking and activism with the aim of building justice”—Bridget Anderson, Professor, University of BristolBorders must be abolished. Borders produce and are produced by carceral, racist, classist, sexist, and xenophobic regimes. Border Abolition Now demands transformative politics to dismantle these systems of oppression.Taking the key tenets of abolitionism and applying them to the debate around borders, the contributors bring a rich understanding of the history and context of carceral and policing systems. Heralding from different countries, disciplines, and activist struggles, they show how their theories are being realized through feminist decolonial praxis, and how personal experiences of borders and organizing against them inform abolition.Expanding the debate to areas including asylum, detention camps, mobility, and climate change, Border Abolition Now offers new tools for anyone working to defend freedom of movement for all. Sara Riva is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Spanish National Research Council and the University of Queensland. Simon Campbell is an activist-researcher focusing on border infrastructures, state violence and abolitionist struggles against the border regime.

Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself?In A Programme of Absolute Disorder, Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre’s history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe’s self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage.Vergès outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonize the museum is to implement a “programme of absolute disorder”, inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed.Françoise Vergès is a political scientist, activist, historian, film writer, and public educator.

‘Boris Kagarlitsky is a man of enormous intellect and bravery ... I’ve always been stimulated by discussions with Boris and his relationship with thoughtful figures all around the world’ – Jeremy Corbyn MP‘Perhaps the most prominent Marxist thinker in the post-Soviet space’ – Open Democracy‘This brilliant and profound book is likely to become a classic’ – Jayati Ghosh, Professor of Economics, University of Massachusetts AmherstAuthoritarianism is rampant across the globe. Right-wing governments from Russia to America oversee wars from Ukraine to Palestine, while capitalism lurches from crisis to crisis, its citizens mired in poverty. Imprisoned Putin critic Boris Kagarlitsky confronts this stark reality, demanding a clear strategy from the left to dismantle this ever-darkening nightmare.As well as bringing Russian and Western thinkers into dialogue, Kagarlitsky draws upon his experiences as a Russian dissident since the latter days of the Soviet Union in this detailed analysis of leftist strategy. As a Marxist, he engages in radical ideas including Universal Basic Income and decentralised collective ownership, as well as looking at historical and contemporary examples of revolution and dissent, covering the left’s response to the war in Ukraine.Written just before Kagarlitsky’s imprisonment, The Long Retreat stands as a testament to subversive Russian literature. It asks if the left can put aside its paralysing sectarianism and conceits of ideological purity in order to transform society for the benefit of the global working class. Kagarlitsky believes it can, as long as it is unafraid to look critically at its own ideas and actions.Boris Kagarlitsky is a Russian Marxist theoretician and sociologist who has been a political dissident in the former Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. He is the author of many books. In 2023 he was detained under Putin’s regime for speaking out against the war in Ukraine, and in February 2024 he was sentenced to five years in a penal colony.Foreword Preface Part I: Socialism as a Problem 1.

‘Lucid, calm and compelling – Olivier De Schutter tackles the big question – how do we move forward from outdated economic thinking to a sustainable prosperity for all?’ Kate Pickett, co-author, The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for EveryoneHow do we combat poverty and rising inequality? In our age of impending climate catastrophe, the conventional wisdom around economic growth is no longer fit for purpose; a rising tide sinks all boats.Oliver De Schutter believes that we must fundamentally rethink the fight against poverty.

‘Lucid, calm and compelling – Olivier De Schutter tackles the big question – how do we move forward from outdated economic thinking to a sustainable prosperity for all?’ Kate Pickett, co-author, The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for EveryoneHow do we combat poverty and rising inequality? In our age of impending climate catastrophe, the conventional wisdom around economic growth is no longer fit for purpose; a rising tide sinks all boats.Oliver De Schutter believes that we must fundamentally rethink the fight against poverty. The quest for growth not only clashes with the need to remain within planetary boundaries, but also creates the very social exclusion it is intended to cure: eroding human rights, widening inequality, and modernising poverty without eliminating it.The Poverty of Growth is a clarion call to forge a new path demanding progress that is no longer focused on wealth and profit.Olivier De Schutter is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.

‘This beautifully written and harrowing book bears witness to the devastating experience of imprisonment; it shows the centrality of faith; and tenderly details the prayers, communities and acts of resistance that sustained these prisoners when faced with forced disappearance, punishment, and torture’ Laleh Khalili, author of Time in the Shadows‘A passionate revelation of the secret endurance of people suffering extraordinary trauma ... A must read to understand the limitless potential of the human spirit’ Aida Seif El-Dawla, psychiatrist and co-founder of El Nadeem Centre for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence and TortureWhen Only God Can See uncovers the unique experiences of Muslim political prisoners held in Egypt and under US custody at Guantanamo Bay and other detention black sites. This groundbreaking book explores the intricate interplay between their religious beliefs, practices of ritual purity, prayer, and modes of resistance in the face of adversity. Highlighting the experiences of these prisoners, faith is revealed to be not only a personal spiritual connection to God, but also a means of contestation against prison and state authorities, reflecting larger societal struggles.Written by Walaa Quisay, who has worked closely with prisoners in Egypt, and Asim Qureshi, with years of experience supporting detainees at Guantanamo Bay, the authors’ deep connections with prisoner communities and their emphasis on the power of resistance shine through.Asim Qureshi is Research Director at CAGE.

'A masterly analysis of slavery and republicanism from the left. A stunning achievement' Gerald Horne, author of The Counter-Revolution of 1776'In explaining the role of self-interest in the abolition work of the founding generation, Timothy Messer-Kruse broadens debates' Beverly Tomek, author of Colonization and Its DiscontentsTimely and controversial, The Patriots' Dilemma confronts longstanding interpretations of U.S. history that emphasize a fundamental conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery interests. By 1776, influential American patriots acknowledged that slavery was incompatible with the ideals of the republic. But a republic for whom?As Timothy Messer-Kruse argues, their real motivations have been misinterpreted for more than 200 years. The Framers were primarily concerned with the protection and betterment of the white community, not the liberation of enslaved black people. The conundrum was that slavery had to end because it created what they saw as a dangerous population, but it could not be abolished without endangering their (white) republic.Their solutions included schemes to banish former slaves to the western frontier or overseas, to exclude them from the category of 'citizen', to make their emancipation gradual, and to tightly police African American communities. Timothy Messer-Kruse is Professor of Ethnic Studies at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. He is the author of The Haymarket Conspiracy and The Trial of the Haymarket Anarchists, which was named 'Best Labor History Book' by the journal Labor History. Introduction 1. White Abolitionism and the Invention of the White Nation 2. Abolishing Slavery By Abolishing The Slave 3. White Liberty vs. Freedom’s Anarchy 4. Patriot Dreams of Black Banishment 5. The Invention of White Citizenship 6. Gradual Emancipation as Racial Cleansing 7. The Patriots’ Solution: Civil Slavery

‘Written by some of the most important theorists of the ecological, degrowth and debt movements ... A powerful and comprehensive analysis. Essential reading’ Silvia Federici, author of Caliban and the Witch‘An impeccably documented, well-argued book [that shows that] a post-carbon world needs to be a post-capitalist world’ Walden Bello, author of Deglobalization‘Brilliantly surveys critical feminist, ecological and decolonial perspectives from leading scholars and activists’ Peter Newell, Professor, University of SussexThe time for denial is over. Across the Global North, the question of how we should respond to the climate crisis has been answered: with a shift to renewables, electric cars, carbon trading and hydrogen. But beneath the sustainability branding, these climate ‘solutions’ are leading to new environmental injustices and green colonialism. The green growth and clean energy plans of the Global North require the large-scale extraction of strategic minerals from the Global South. The geopolitics of transition imply sacrificing not only territories, but truly sustainable ways of inhabiting this world. This book provides a platform for the voices that have been conspicuously absent in debates around energy and climate. Drawing on case studies from across the Global South, the authors offer critiques of green colonialism in its material, political and symbolic dimensions, discuss the entanglements that connect the transitions of different world regions, and explore alternative pathways toward a liveable and just future for all.Miriam Lang is Professor of Environment and Sustainability at the Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Ecuador.

This is a must-read for all contemporary activists’ Moby, musician‘A story of compassion and courage that was crushed by the state, and a powerful testament to the inspirational campaigns of people who stood for a world without suffering’ Peter Tatchell, campaigner for human and animal liberationFor many people, the name ‘Huntingdon Life Sciences’ will live forever in infamy. In the early 2000s, Europe’s largest animal testing laboratory provoked public outrage, and sparked a resistance movement like no other. Your Neighbour Kills Puppies tells the inside story of this remarkable campaign and the forces that rose up against it. It exposes a murky world of institutional animal exploitation, government collusion, corporate lobbyists, agent provocateurs and police spies desperate to silence dissent.Author and campaign veteran Tom Harris transports the reader into the heart of the action, through underground tunnels and illicit animal rescues, before detailing the brutal state-led crackdown which saw scores of activists violently arrested and imprisoned.Tom Harris has spent two decades in the animal liberation movement and is a former coordinator of Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty.
