Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Lucid, calm and compelling - Olivier De Schutter tackles the big questions' 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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - '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 KhaliliWhen 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.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Offers the conversations we need to sustain the possibility of anarchist, feminist, and queer world-making in the ruins of everyday brutality' - Mattilda Bernstein SycamoreWhat do we do when the state has abandoned us From failing health systems to housing crises to cascading ecological collapse, it's increasingly evident that state-centered politics do not protect us from the violence of colonialism and capitalism, fascism and patriarchy. In fact, they actively work to harm us.Anarchist feminism-or anarcha-feminism-shows us that the ways we tend to our social relations can build a new world inside the old one. We can take care of each other when nothing else will, supplying communal well-being and liberatory horizons.From communitarian kitchens to medic collectives, squatted social centers to queer theater troupes, Ljubljana to Mexico City, Constellations of Care powerfully underscores that we already have everything we need and desire in one another to carve out lives worth living.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A masterly analysis of slavery and republicanism from the left. A stunning achievement' - Gerald HorneTimely 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.…
